This also happened to me on my iPad Air with iOS 7. And I couldn't access my Facebook page via the browser and I remembered this started happening the second I allowed the scrabble Facebook game access to my profile. So luckily I had the Facebook app and was able to access just enough of my account to delete the scrabble game from my security settings. Which thankfully gave me access to my account via browser once more. Needless to say be very careful what you allow to access your accounts on the internet as there are those site out there that will shut you down to gain access of your information. -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
