Ipad won't load past apple screen

My Ipad won't load or shut down. When the cover is opened the screen w/apple is there..desktop sometimes comes on, but as soon as screen is touched it returns to apple screen. I backed up the ipad with itunes on computer and attempted to restore it but it won't

restore until "find my ipad" is turned off, which I can't do since the ipad won't load the settings.

Updated to ios7 two days ago and was working okay. I'm not sure if this has something to do with the update.
