itunes won't load on new ipad

[edlsen]

I click on the icon on the home screen and the screen pops up with the chasing circle and it says "Loading..." but it never does anything.

I can open the App Store and I have iTunes loaded on my computer. I can sync it, but the app won't open.

This is my first Apple product. Am I missing something simple?

I'm having this problem too, it just spins forever in iTunes and nothing happens. Anyone got any ideas?
