My iPad is showing an ITune icon along with a picture of a cord on a black screen,

Not sure where you originally posted this but it's only just appeared in the Using iPad forum.

If you haven't already fixed it then the image that you are seeing means that the iPad has gone into recovery mode. You will have to connect it to your computer's iTunes and that should let you reset it back to factory defaults, you can then restore to you last backup or just resync your content to it

will i lose all my pictures, if i restore it?

This is an old post, but yes if you don't have a previous backup or have the pictures backed up or imported to another service or computer a restore will delete them.
