Fixed it

Restoring the iPad (not update and restore) through iTunes solved the problem

I noticed before restoring my iPad - date and time had changed


  • turn off your ipad
  • connect your cable to pc/mac ( not iPad)
  • hold the home button on your ipad
  • connect the other end of the cable When you see the apple logo release the home button
  • your iPad will say connect to itunes
  • open the iTunes on your computer and select restore ( not update and restore) when the message pops up.
  • This will restore iPad -
  • YOU WILL LOSE ALL THE DATA ON YOUR IPAD
  • YOU WILL NEED THE APPLE ID AND PASSWORD USED BEFORE THE RESET
