Nov 3, 2014 2:23 PM in response to 94611by Star Traveler,Okay, if you've got your Apple ID and Password set right and you can sign in okay on the Apple ID sign in on the web ... you just may have to scrub your iPad clean and get a fresh start on the iPad. That way, you just enter your Apple ID on a "factory fresh iPad" and there can' be a problem at that point (again ... as long as the Apple ID and Password is okay on its own).
A factory reset can be done with your iTunes program on your computer. Be sure to turn off the anti-virus software on your computer, while you are doing the process. Since you can't sign in. With your Apple ID, I suppose that means you can't do an iCloud backup, but you'll probably be able to do an iTunes backup. The following will give you some Apple Support documents on the subject. The last one is for the reset to factory default ...

Nov 14, 2014 6:38 PM in response to Star Travelerby 94611,Thank you. Ultimately, I received tech support through Apple, who agreed that the iPad needed to be returned to factory settings, from an iTune backup. It was not an easy process, requiring 3 e-mail chats and taking several hours. Frankly, it was such a daunting process that I'd not recommend doing it without similar support.
