When I'm on Facebook, with my iPad I cam't see my friends. Is there a way to change that.
Thanks

That's an issue w/the Facebook App, which is not optimized/native for iPad, I believe.  Don't have my iPad with me at the moment, but I'm 99% certain that's it.  An alternate app, Friendly, does show friends, I believe.

Friendly is a great app except that it keeps crashing my ipad.  If they fixed that problem, I would use it all the time.  I like it better than the native app

Thanks, I'll try both of them.

You might look at an app called mypad+
I've been using it with no problems at all.
good luck

Same here, I tried Friendly and MyPad - found FrIendly to have too many bugs and MyPad to be really good with a great user interface.

i don't have this problem on my ipad2. try to install facebook application for your ipad2, then leave the original browser of your ipad2.

So glad I saw this, it drives me crazy that I can't see online friends on Facebook with the iPad!

Facebook is working on their own iPad app that should be out relatively soon from the latest rumors.  It will support chat, have a nice photo viewer built in etc.

So hopefully it will be better than the third party options like Friendly or MyPad etc.

I'm glad to hear that.

Another vote for the Friendly App it works great on my iPad.

Safari (and other iPad browsers) can display the newsfeed etc. fine, but it doesn't show the list of friends on the right, or allow you to use the chat feature, that's what people are talking about. You have to use an app to use the chat feature.

To put the icon (a Safari link to Facebook.com) on the iPad2 desktop, hit the little box with the arrow that's to the left of the address bar and touch "Add to Home Screen."
