Since today, I cannot add new apps to Facebook pages.
Normally I create an app, go to the app-page and click on "Add to my page":
The link to the add page was this, but it's not working anymore.
Any solution?
Check this page tab tutorial.
Here is a little helper page to do this until Facebook fixes it themselves: http://stickybeat.se/addapp/
This link might be more direct on what you are looking for. It gives an example of using the Facebook api to add a page as well as the dialog method.

I have both a Facebook page and a Facebook app and want to use my existing page as the page for the app. All answers I've found says that the page needs to be changed to "App Page" which is found under "Brands & Products". The problem is that those options aren't available anymore.
Can someone say how to use an existing page as an app page, or confirm that this is no longer possible?
I just found out the answer myself, so I'll answer it.
First go to your PAGE and choose Edit Page Info in the three dot menu.
Under Category, add the tag "App Page". It's important to REMOVE ANY OTHER TAGS!

Then go to your APP at Facebook for Developers and go to Settings - Advanced. Under App Page you'll see a list of all available pages you can choose.

I have looked at existing questions but found nothing that answers my questions.
I have an app on facebook (its actually a webpage added as an app). I have added Page Tab as a platform. I also have a page for the app.
Now, I am trying to add this app to another page, as a tab.
I am not finding any way to do this right now. When trying to manage tabs, I can add apps. But I only see "notes" as an option. Any idea how to do that ?
Thanks.
The docs tell you how to add an App to a Page: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/pages/tabs#adding
For example, open this in your browser with the appropriate parameters:
https://www.facebook.com/dialog/pagetab?app_id=YOUR_APP_ID&redirect_uri=YOUR_URL
...you will see a list of all Pages you manage and you can add the App to those.
What happend to the good old page tab?
How can I create a simple page tab and show some individual content from my website?
Even the original facebook docs seems to be not up to date: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/appsonfacebook/pagetabs
I already created an facebook app and managed to show my own content. But I have no idea how to move that "app" into my facebook page as a tab.
Can anybody help me getting started and create a simple page tab?
It's in the docs, see
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/page/tabs/#Creating
You have to do a POST /{page_id}/tabs with the outlined fields, as in the docs.
I've had this like button/box setup for this specific page for some time. But now it;s stopped working:
Using code generated (for iframe) on this page:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/
to display this fb page:
http://www.facebook.com/JohnPurkiss
does not display/work. If I amend the like button url in the iframe to another fb page, it does work. I'm not tryinig to use a button/plugin that requires an app. Just a plain 'ol simple button. But it appears to me there is an issue with this specific fb page (johnpurkiss one above)
Any advice/help greatly appreciated.
The problem here is that the "page" you linked to is in actual fact a personal user.
You can not "like" a user in the same way that
you can not add a page as a friend...
or "poke" an event...
or subscribe to a photo...
You'll gave to provide an actual page to be liked.
As you can see from the screenshot below taken from the link you provided, there is no like button to be found.
Only an "Add Friend" and "Subscribe" button. I'm not sure if converting your profile into a page is the way you want to go, but it is possible. You can learn how at this link.
I just start on creating fan page on facebook. Left hand side of the fan page, there is a "Share" button which is sharing the current fan page.
I saw that it's url is: http://www.facebook.com/ajax/share_dialog.php?params
When i try to use this, it's failed. Is there any method can use this or simulate this function, allowing me to share the fan page?
Thanks to all in advance.
I know this thread is basically dead, but it still comes up in Google, so I figured I'd answer it. This is possible using Jquery and the FB Javascript API.

Check out http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/
You can use the method I describe here : How to make custom share buttons
It works in page tabs.
