I try to use CB connect with Twitter and LinkedIn for CB. But when i select "new field" to make a field for Twitter and LinkedIn the names do not show up as an option. The video for CB connect shows that Facebook Social shows up, so I assume this will happen with these apps too. The Twitter and LinkedIn apps are published and the secret key, client id etc. are in place under the plugin settings. What can be the problem? I use the latest Joomla and CB versions.
Thanks.
There are no social fields like that anymore. The videos you're watching are significantly out of date. CB Connect strictly provides single sign-on and nothing more. Social plugins can be done using Custom HTML fields and the HTML provided by the social sites.

That is very unfortunate as I spend days to figure this out and ordered the professional membership to able to use this feature.
Where did you read this information? All such older materials should be archived or dated appropriately. I don't know what to tell you as using older information is unreliable and we've a pre-sales forum anyone is free to post pre-sales questions to before purchasing.
Can one of your programmers make it work like it is supposed to as a programmed job?
It is working as it's supposed to. The social fields were intentionally removed as they can be done with a Custom HTML field. For example see the below for Facebook social plugins.
The JS can either by loaded by CB Auto Actions, scripts be whitelisted in CB > Configuration > User Profile and added to the Custom HTML field as well, added by your template (if it has the feature to do so or directly added to index.php), or 3rd party extension that loads Facebook JS.
