I have turned my iPad off and it's stuck in wheel turning icon and won't go off . How do I solve this as it's now stuck neither on or off. Please help!

Try a reset and the iPad should restart (you can then try turning it off again) : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
