Friends Kingdom: Re: [iPad] Need help with Messenger & a couple other Apps

The apps pre-installed by Apple cannot be deleted. I put them in a folder on my last Home page to have them out of the way.

Hello,

Since I updated my IPAD 2 (WI-FI 3G 32GB, circa Nov. 2011) I am having an "issue" with a couple of Apps. The first one is the App called Messenger. I know it's part of Facebook, and I did have an icon with a lightning bolt on my screen prior to the update. But the icon now shows up on my screen as grayed out grid with a target in the center.

When I click on the icon, it says "installing." I have left it for days & it never finishes. I tried deleting it, but it will not go away. I have tried searching how to delete Apps, and I know about the jiggling icons & clicking on "x", etc. But in this case the App will not delete.

Also with the update, a couple new (to me) Apps appeared on my screen and I can't delete them either. They are "Find Friends" and "Find Phone." They don't show up in my list of Apps on my iPad. I don't want them but can't delete them - neither will produce a jiggling x when I hold them down. I've also tried deleting these things from my iMac, but find no way to delete - only to re-install stuff I've previously deleted!

I'm totally flummoxed! What am I missing? Is there an alternative process to delete Apps from iPad that I'm not considering?
