Stuck at Connect to iTunes

Did a network reset but with new OS my iPad goes thru a different sequence. So I've gone thru the set up screens (language, country, location, etc.) and when asked to sync with iTunes, it syncs just fine on the computer. But then my iPad goes no further..it's just stuck at the Connect to iTunes screen.

I've tried every combination of powering on/off - both reboot and reset. I've resynched it multiple times, all successfully on my base computer (PC).

Any ideas would be great...thanks.
