Trying to upload to 8.1.3 and stops at a picture of a power lead going into an itunes logo? I cannot get beyond this - any ideas?

Can anyone help? I now cannot even open the ipad as it doesn't go beyond this logo.

The image means that the iPad has gone into recovery mode, it needs to be reset by connecting it to a computer's iTunes.
When you connect the iPad to your computer, does your computer's iTunes not recognise that an iPad in recovery mode has been connected to it ? That should let you reset the iPad back to factory defaults, and you can then restore to your backup or just resync your content to it.
If your computer's iTunes isn't recognising the iPad then you have an up-to-date version of iTunes installed ? These troubleshooting pages for a device not recognised in iTunes might help :
PC : iPhone, iPad, or iPod not recognized in iTunes for Windows - Apple Support
Mac : If you don't see your connected device in iTunes for Mac - Apple Support
