Deleting installing app

My Facebook app had stopped working so I deleted it and tried to reinstall it. Now it is stuck installing. It won't pause, I can't delete it, and I can't find a solution.

Double tap the Home button to bring up the multi-tasking bar...is Facebook shown here? If so, tap & hold until it starts to wiggle...tap the red minus sign to remove it from the multi-tasking bar...tap the Home button when finished. Now see if you can delete it.

Turning off/deleting installed apps

I am not talking about apps downloaded from the apps store, just a few of those that my iPhone came with. You know, the ones I never will use. The first of these being the 'stocks" app as i just never se it and everynow and then I accidently open it.
I have looked in the user manual and had a bit of a play when syncing, but i have somehow missed how I am supposed to remove this. I was able to switch off the nike app, just not the Stocks one.
I hope I made some sense there

You can move them to a separate page, so you won't see them.

How to delete an App I did not install on my machine

My son's school requires them to use MacBookPro's (three cheers).   His laptop broke so I restored his Time Machine backup to an external drive which is attached to my desktop system. That way he could keep up with his work until the repairs were complete. Somehow, during the restore process, the App Store decided that the apps that he and his school used were now legitimately installed on my system. They show up whenever updates are available.   My son gave me his username and password so I can at least do the updates (I tried deleting the apps from my machine and - as many threads have repeated - the App Store keeps the history so I get notified regardless). The apps he used were all free ones so other than being an annoyance, there is no serious problem. The difficulty comes in with apps which the school had licensed for and installed for every student.   That password is a tightly guarded secret which the school will not give out no matter what (nor should they).   I can not expect them to come to my house (several hundred miles away) and log in to the App Store on my machine to do the updates.   I've notified the school of what has happened so when they get their usage logs from the vendor they do not think I intentionally made pirated copies.
Does anyone have any idea how to get rid of these apps (which I do not use and am not licensed for) ? This is a fundamentally different question that the old war horse of how to remove something from the App Store purchase history.   As a result of trying to provide a stopgap for my son, I have the appearance of having expensive, unlicensed software on my machine. Because I do some work for the US government, the auditors periodically have me proove that everything on my machine is fully licensed and legal.   I've explained what happened to them and while they "understand", they say they have zero flexibility to allow me to be out of compliance.   Since the "violation" is associated with me individually, even purchasing a brand new computer will not solve the problem.
Help !!!!

Thank you.   I had already done the things you suggested but did not know that my son had made a clone of his drive elsewhere on my machine (he just wanted to be sure that I didn't accidentally delete his "stuff").   Your response got me to search everything and not assume that everything was in the applications folder.   Once I found his clone, I deleted it and the problems all went away.

The app is downloaded from internally hosted server.

I also have this problem with ios app and have reproduced the problem on multiple devices. It only happens when i use OTA installation process with exported ipa. I am following the apple docs for ios distribution for testing. I am not using a 3rd party (testflight, betatesters etc.) for this, its an internet facing web server (azure) with all the proper mime types etc. setup. The install works fine, meaning i get the correct prompts to install, my app installs and runs, but I end up with an additional phantom icon, usually hung in an "installing" state, basically like prabu4u shows in his scenario.This icon/app can't be deleted using standard means (via xcode, itunes, hard/soft resetting of device, changing device language settings).
here is a brief section of console log, that is similar to prabu4u:

I do not believe this is a network, connectivity or web server issue. The udid of my device (and other test devices) are registered in the protal, they are all running updated version of ios7.
I believe its an issue (caused by me) with the provision profile (probably the distribution) packaged in the app. I have validated that the profiles are in the portal and are synched with xcode5 using organizer->devices->iphone->provisioning profies. it shows both the ios team prov profile and the ios adhoc distribution profile created from my developer account.They both show valid profile status with expirations in 2014.
I have done clean builds, rebuilds and redeploys of the exported ipa (generated using ad-hoc deployment scheme in xcode5), but the end result is the same. I always end up with the phantom icon.
I have read other posts that say they use a 3rd party tool to delete the icon, which is fine, but I really want to avoid this by correctly developing and depploying the app.
any ideas on where i made my mistake(s) ? thanks, bob

I wanted to delete a app so I could redownload to restore and start game over and so I deleted it then went to re down load and it says it's still installed so I can't re download but the I con is not any where on my iPad where can I find it?

Where do I find a I con that is gone but on the app store it says it's installed when I deleted the app to restore game and now I can't install the game because it says it already is but I deleted it and Icon doesn't show any where on my screen?

Check here:
Settings>General>Usage>Show all Apps (you'll likely need to scroll down)
Find the app you wish to delete, tap on it, then tap "Delete App"

Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if you can then update the app.
If you do delete the app then you should be able to re-download your ibook purchases via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the app. But in case some of them are no longer available in the store and/or you have PDFs or epubs in it, then you could first connect it to your computer's iTunes and do File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11) which should copy them over to the Books part of your iTunes library so that you have your own copy of them and can sync them back (even though they aren't iTunes purchases it should also copy over any PDFs or epubs that you have in the iBooks app)

My ipad automatically tried to update skype to version 4.1.1 It has been showing installing for 3 days and says waiting on the icon. It will not allow me to delete the app. When someone calls me on skype it rings but turns off as soon as I try to answer.

My ipad automatically tried to update skype. It has been installing for 3 days and the message waiting is on the icon. I am unable to delete skype to try and re install. I have gone to the licence page but there is nowhere that I can agree the terms as it is still trying to load.

delete the app on itunes (on PC) then download it again.

I've downloaded current update for iPad 2 but it won't install. It keeps coming up as an error. I have deleted many apps but didn't help the situation...

I've downloaded current update for iPad 2 but it won't install. It keeps coming up as an error. I have deleted many apps but didn't help the situation... What's causing this and how do I fix this?

What is the latest iOS for iPad 2? Is it iOS 7 or can you update to 8?
all I remember is that my iPad mini performed poorly under iOS 7. Try to update it to the very latest version. Also you will have to use iOS 8.1.3, because 8.1.2 is no longer signed in case you were trying to install that. You can get the latest IPSW from http://IPSW.me just enter in your device and it will forward you to the right Apple ios download link.
Another thing is keeping your device memory free, if you have a 16 gig device, it's harder to keep space free. my iPad mini is 16 gig, but all I can ever keep free is 1 GB so I keep it at that. Turn off "iCloud photo sharing beta" and that will help a little bit. also when you do a restore from iTunes, don't restore your backup right away, see how it performs fresh, and then add your apps back in one at a time you might have to sacrifice photos and other personal things for performance.

Can't help you with that.
2) guy who installed apps on iPad used his own iTunes account. Is therea way for me to update using my own account? I've tried deleting and reinstalling but I end up paying 2x for the same apps
Who does this iPad belong to? If someone else used their account then they paid for the apps. You will need to buy and pay for apps using your own account which means that you will no longer have access to the apps installed by the other person.
3) I also know I installed some apps on my own account but when I try to update them, the installer guy,s apple I'd comes out. Is there A way to change that?
If this iPad belongs to you I suggest you reset the iPad to factory defauts and just use it with the apps that you've paid for. You will be able to re-download the apps from the iTunes app store after the reset.
Follow this guide to reset the iPad to factory settings.

How do I delete pre-installed apps?

I do not have a lot of space on my phone and it takes up space so i have to delete other apps in order for updates and have little room for other apps I want. My school also took off some of the pre-installed apps on ipads given to the school and I don't think they would jail break all 600+ I-pads especially being as I go to a public school.

Thanks dumpystig, but that menu sequence will only allow to delete purchased apps and a limited number of Pre-installed discretionary apps such as Accu Weather. It, for example, does not allow to delete the Calendar app - nor does it make available the 'pocket news' app which is the one I want to get rid off. The phone is running PR1.2 and was purchased, unlocked, from a Nokia shop. Thanks

I am unable to delete any of the installed apps on my iPAD2. If I press on the icon , it merely starts shaking but no longer displays the X sign in order for me to delete it.

That situation went from inconvenient to complicated quickly. Wait for any pending orders to drop off, wait for things to clear up, wait till your upgrade comes up and then upgrade when your contract is fulfilled. I would have suggested a replacement phone, I know, with only a month left why couldn't you just upgrade early, but these situations where people try to upgrade early always end horribly and once a phone order starts, it almost cannot finish until something winds up shipped received and returned. Sorry this happened the way it did. Definitely not efficient.
