    Hello alexisari1245,


    Thanks for that info and choosing the Apple Support Communities. I know how important being able to use your iPad after updating is to you!

    If I understand correctly, you are unable to receive the verification code for iCloud Keychain. Good news is you can setup a new number or device with these steps and then verify the iPad to resolve your issue.

     

    How do I set up iCloud Keychain?

    After upgrading to iOS 7.0.3 or later, the iOS setup assistant will ask you to set up iCloud Keychain. If you skipped this step and want to set up iCloud Keychain now, follow these steps:

    Use these steps if you're using iOS 7.0.3 or later:

    1. Tap Settings > iCloud and turn Keychain on.
    2. Follow the onscreen instructions.

    Use these steps if you're using OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later:

    1. Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, then click iCloud.
    2. Select Keychain. If you want to, you can set a passcode to unlock your screen after sleep or after the screen saver begins.
    3. Enter your Apple ID and password.
    4. Follow the onscreen instructions.
