I also rebooted, actually a few times, but still can not download the update and the icon is grey with the black line on it but it never installs.

I uninstalled and reinstalled. The app works now but the updated won't install. It really is amazing how bad Facebook is and yet it remains so popular. I'm glad I don't use it much.

Thanks or the heads up!! Normally app updates are not a major issue but I'll stay away from this one for now!!

Facebook on PC was having issues yesterday...maybe it's an overall problem with their servers...

And now there's a "Bug Fix" update in the AppStore that won't download for me... and at least one other person I know... the irony of a bug fix update having a download bug is humorous...

Yesterday after the auto update FB crashed immediately after I opened it several times. Today there are no issues with it at all. Hopefully it is fixed. If not, I'll view FB via Safari for a while.

Honestly, that's a better option anyway. Pretty sad when you think about it.

I tried deleting it an reinstalling it but it won't download on my phone now!! Wtf??

Because there's an issue of some sort with the artwork according to the iTunes error I've been getting...

I know right? Kind of defeats the purpose of having the app.

Attachment 41943 y is everyone saying to reinstall when this is all I get every time I try?

Could be that the developers are working in a update to fix the problem and it will let you download again at a later time.

Try again now - I was just now able to download the update...

Seems like it finally updated and the annoying red badge app is gone and FB hasn't crashed yet (keeping my fingers crossed)

FaceBook Version 6.7.1 is stuck in limbo. Will not download on my iPad no matter what I do, but it did download on my wife's iPad, go figure...

Good news folks, Facebook version 6.7.1 is finally downloading... :)

Yup finally

Finally downloaded for me. I see that there is a translucent vibe going on in the title bar. Is that new? I don't pay a great deal of attention to FB.

The update works now

Started working again for me this morning, very strange behavior last night with the update not wanting to apply.
