It appears everywhere under my account as my device except under find my iPad. It is under iCloud settings though as mine. I thought about deleting it everywhere and then trying to start from square one but I'm afraid that I'll never get it back! Thanks for your help though. No one had suggested the page you gave me about checking the activation.

I an appthat won't update because it says its associated with an Apple id I had years ago before apps were even invented.Apple def had done glitches.

1) Do a full backup of your device if needed. Twice is best -- cloud and computer.

2) Three ways of restoring your ipad. [ as easy as abc ]
2.a) "You can use iTunes to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to factory settings and the latest version of iOS."

2.b) Be a little more insistent: "You can put your iOS device into recovery mode, then restore it using iTunes.:

3.c) At last resort you could consider DFU (Device Firmware Update). This could void your warranty.
