The iTunes icon and cable image means that it's gone into recovery mode, you will need to connect it to your computer's iTunes to reset the iPad, and you can then restore/resync your content to it.
If the previous owner hadn't logged out of Settings > iCloud on it, and Find My iPad was enabled, you will have to contact him/her : Turn off Find My iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support
