Facebook “Account Unavailable due to site maintenance”

For a site that currently has an Alexa traffic ranking of 5, this is pretty dumb.  It’s almost as bad as the sporadic errors on myspace.  Site maintenance?  Really?  At 10:45am on a Tuesday?  Come’on.. give me a break.  Facebook is one of the busiest sites on the net and you disable my account for “a few hours” in the middle of the day?  I’d expect they would be able to release code with a “flip of the switch”.  If not, I’d expect downtime to be scheduled and during times of minimal traffic.

Account back?
SO UPSET ITS THE 2nd time this happeed first time was a disabled account now this fACEBOOK NEEDS TO WARN US SOON THEY GONNA START LOOSING PEOPLE TO ANITHER WEBSITE

This started for me last night. I am glad to know it’s not a virus or something destructive to my computer! I think it’s God’s way of telling me I’ve been wasting too much time on FB.

Mine has been down now for 3 days! If IT is doing their job - then they shouldn’t be in IT! It shouldn’t take 72 hours to complete this task!

Lol, really? I don’t have that problem. Never have. My friend did but it went away after 5 mins.


i have a problem of this error Account Unavailable i have been this problem for 2 hours plz help me please


your complaints are all annoying, let the fb workers do their jobs so you kids can stay spoiled

how does everyone get a facebook account and i don’t it is so unfair!

Umm all us ‘kids’ are not spoiled… besides, if you think we should shut up, then why are you looking at this?

its those tech geeks doing their job so shut ur mouths already

its techs doing the job they r paid 4.

its IT doing their job

It’s IT doing their job.


It’s called IT has a job and they do it.

I keep trying to tell everyone what is really going on, but my comments keep getting deleted. Imagine that.

I WAnt MY ACCOUNT BACK.

Oh nice, so unless I say Facebook sucks, my comment gets deleted. Nice job being totally equal here. Maybe you all suck, how about that? It wasn’t logging in earlier but it’s logging in just fine now. You all need to grow up.

hi, do you know why i cant access my account.. i have been trying all day.. i guess you may know the answer i have only had my account for 2 or 3 days. please email me if you can help on jonie_rulz@hotmail.co.uk
thanks x

That’s really sad how you only had your account for 2 or 3 days and they do that….,that’s some real dirty Shiznit


myspace is better…..

MySpace has a buttload of ads.

Sure if you want ads alllll the timmeee.

Im having this problem too and have been for 9 hours throughout the whole day from 6:30-9:30! ItS SO ANNOYING!!

It’s called IT has a job and they do it.

I had the same thing happen to me yesterday for six hours and now it’s been a half an hour today, this is stupid. That it’s just a few people that are affected .. geesh if they are as big as everyone says .. set a time during off peak hours and do it so it affects all accounts not just a handful. Maybe if they fixed it all they wouldn’t have as many issues with the site.

im having that problem now! i cant open my facebook account. WTF!?! :O

I just got it, I think it does have to do with the Zynga games, perhaps farmville … too much friending and posting all at once, maybe they want to make sure you’re not a virus. I’ll wait … It’s probably better, less time wasting :) it’s a facebook intervention.

hey what up

this really sucks… how can i recover my acct.? i missed my facebook..!! is my acct. hacked by other person?.. frm philippines

Why my facebook is due to maintenance??What’s wrong with it? Oh God help me!! I hate that!! Please help my problem

Account Unavailable

Your account is temporarily unavailable due to site maintenance. It should be available again within a few hours. We apologize for the inconvenience.

is there any soln’

grrrr…….. How long will it take to access my account… does anyone have an idea? .. hays….
im wondering if my account was banned..

i cant access my facebook account.its saying temporalily unvailable..i need help

i have the same problem

I have this problem as well. Wth is this. Has anyone “recovered” from this issue as yet?

facebook succks!

Okay I havent been able to get on my facebook all day. It says its temp unavailable. Well, Im about to kill myself legit!.. facebook is my life. So when am I going to get it back before I kill myself?!?!?

this is a bad things in facebook i must see my farm in barn buddy

Mine has been down all day - London time 7AM and still down now 23PM. Not Happy :-( What is wrong with it??????//

I’ve serached all over google and read a dozen threads… no one seem to have a solution.

We are at the mercy of Facebook administrators.

maybe there is a way to find out whats causing this…

do any of you remember the dates when you created your FB account?
if alot of user from the same year & month have issues … that means the server our accounts are created in is having issues… and report to FB.

Just a thought.

GRRRRRR! My account has been like this all day today and I need to get some info off my profile!! Why can’t they give us some notice for this and/or DO IT QUICKER!!!

Hi everybody,. I had read all of this threads a few minute after I got the problem of “account unavailable” I got that too,.
thanks for creating this thread,. it give me hope when I know many people had this too and some can fixed from that problem,. according to all I had read in this threads and many more,. its about 3-7 hours they get stuck from this trouble, even some there reach 3 weeks get frustrated. but it’s true I got just ”2 HOURS FIXED”,. thanks god I was scare back then,. in that time, I really do nothing just wait and not open my fb while read this thread. i don’t know why it can happen but I felt that God blessed me. very lucky.
I just have 207 friends and about 600 photos and just play happy aquarium,. I think it’s a bit activities,. I start thinking is that how much the file that you have influential to the speed of fixing progress?? I just guess
But to the others I hope you wait patiently dan hope that God bless you all,.
hopefully I’m not face this problem tomorrow and forward,. if it happen again I hope we lucky again,.
thanks a lot .

bore to listen account unavailable,. I just got this problem.
now the most important is,. are there someone fixed from this? if did,. please we’re begging to listen your story.,

It was last saturday, when I logged in to facebook, I see that my account was unavailable, I was surprised to see that, I don’t know how long it will come back, but it says that it’s under maintenance, they’re like going to do something with it, well, I don’t don’t know it happened like that, but it’s just complicated.

Hi, the same thing you were describing happened to my mother.
I think a problem can be too much posting from Facebook Games.

Anyway, you can send a complaint to Facebook from this address : http://sanjose.bbb.org/ComplaintDetail.aspx?CompanyID=223670

If we are tens of hundreds to send this complaint they’ll probably will take care of our accounts.
Otherwise you will never access them.

Thanks and Goodbye.

I have had the message below up for several hours now. I think Facebook is determining whether or not someone’s report on me is legit or not. I have reason to believe that one or more of my daughter’s friends is behind this happening to me, because I was responsible for having them removed from her friends list, due to serious behavioral issues in the community, and then having them blocked from contacting her.

All one has to do is file a false report on someone via the link in the lower left of the target’s page, then voila, no access. Seems harsh to me. Whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?

“Account Unavailable

Ron, if that’s true, then I was randomly reported for no reason… and I have only a handful of friends. To top it off, they all actually like me. Meanwhile, my brother is logged in on the same network and is logged in just fine. They have several servers, so it could be that they’re doing maintenance per account server, so that some people can log in while others have to wait.

I think some of you are just spoiled brats who think life’s a vending machine. Sometimes I.T. needs to work, and when they do, they have to listen to you idiots constantly complain. Yes it’s irritating, but you know what? They get paid to make sure things run smoothly. Without them, you wouldn’t have said account that you’re complaining about. So grow a set and leave them alone.

Yes, Facebook IT is doing their job… EXTREMELY SLOWLY! Do you see Google, Yahoo!, or YouTube going down for “site maintenance” for this long?
Those sites do site maintenance just like Facebook, but at a fast pace and off peak hours to ensure minimal downtime. Facebook, on the other hand, spends forever. What could they be doing that possibly could take that long? Inserting new code should take less than 2 hours.
