Hello Everyone,

I recently had to reinstall Facebook v1.6 on my Bold and after doing so, I no longer have the option for connecting my Facebook account with my "BlackBerry Calendar Application" or "BlackBerry Contacts Application". Both items are listed there, but they are faded in the background and won't allow me to select the option. I used to be able to select these items though. Anyone else having this problem or know of a possible solution? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Is there any update to this? I have this issues on my Storm... It is on the BES.

Looks like people just don't care. Although, it looks like its only affecting people on a BES.

If you do a little search on this site you'll find a couple of posts about this.

It's a policy on the BES that disallows the Facebook application to interact with your contacts and calander.

You need to get in touch with your BES admin.

I'm not able to get my FB Calendar to sync up either but I'm not on a BES. A coworker of mine who is also not on our BES is having no issues with FB calendar or contacts.. go figure..

I am the BES admin and there is no policy for Facebook settings on BES. If there is please let me know so i can look for it and turn it off.

Same problem here. The calendar and contacts sync used to work on FB 1.5, stoped working on 1.6. Search the entire IT Policy didn't found any mention of the FB application. Using bes 4.1.6.23

[skyman84]

Yes, there is, however you may not have the latest IT policy rule set downloaded

I can confirm the above post. Through a little hunting, I imported the correct Policy ruleset, and can now select those options.
