What is an Automator shortcut?

Adnan Shkoor

Community Answer

Automator is a utility on macOS that lets you automate repetitive tasks by creating workflows. These workflows can be triggered manually or assigned to a shortcut for quick access, providing a quicker way to execute a predefined set of actions without doing it manually.

I can't find Facebook in the list. How do I add it?

Sami8667

Community Answer

To add a Facebook account to your Mac, open System Preferences and go to Internet Accounts. Look for and select "Facebook" from the list, sign in with your Facebook credentials, and follow the prompts to authorize access and sync options. If you don't see Facebook listed, check the latest macOS support resources as steps may vary by version.

If you're not seeing the Facebook banner, it could be due to browser compatibility, ad blockers, browser extensions, or browser cache issues. Try using a compatible browser, disabling ad blockers and extensions, and clearing your browser's cache.

Question

How do I change the language on my Facebook?

Marythefox73

Community Answer

Change the language settings on Facebook. If you can't, it might be because your device's default language is set to French.

Question

When I click on Internet Accounts, I don't see a Facebook option as shown here.

Corpbizlegal

Community Answer

If you don't see the option to add a Facebook account in "Internet Accounts," it may be because your macOS version doesn't support Facebook integration. Check your macOS version and update if needed. Also, ensure your Facebook settings allow third-party app integration.

Question

How can I add my Facebook account to my Mac if it's not available via System Preferences?

Miquel Costa i Rosselló

Community Answer

To add your Facebook account to your Mac, use a web browser, as macOS no longer supports direct integration through System Preferences. Open Safari, Chrome, or any browser, and visit facebook.com. Sign in using your email or phone number and password. To make access easier, bookmark the page with Command + D or create a desktop shortcut by dragging the URL to your desktop. Enable browser notifications for updates, and use keyboard shortcuts for efficient navigation.

Question

I have a Mac desktop and can't find "Facebook" under Internet Accounts. I'm using Mojave 10.14.6. Any thoughts?

Badreddine Touahria

Community Answer

If you're unable to find Facebook under Internet Accounts on your Mac desktop running Mojave 10.14.6, it's possible that direct integration with Facebook accounts may not be available or supported. You can still access Facebook through web browsers or third-party apps.

Question

Why won't Facebook accept my email/phone number or password?

Corpbizlegal

Community Answer

If Facebook isn't accepting your email/phone number or password, check for typos and ensure you're using the correct credentials. Your account may be temporarily locked, or there could be browser issues. Try again later, or clear your browser's cache and cookies.

Question

Why is my Mac not recognizing my Facebook password even though I know it is correct?

Tanaverr_H

Community Answer

If your Mac isn't recognizing your Facebook password, double-check your typing, clear your browser data, or reset your password. You can also clear the cache, update your software, or try re-adding your Facebook account in System Preferences. If you're still having trouble, try another browser, reboot your router, enable two-factor authentication, or contact Facebook support.
