Oh you are on a mac, sometimes you don't get the latest iTunes thru iTunes have you tired updating with system update?
Good Luck
Resetting and updating worked for me. I am out of suggestions if you have the same version I do, and already did the other things mentioned in the thread. For what it's worth, mine did the same thing when I bought it, and eventually unstuck itself. I hope you resolve it.

Ok, lets try DFU mode (its close to the above restore but a little different)
Make absolutely sure that you have iTunes 9.1 installed by clicking on About iTunes in the topmenu!
1.Start with downloading the firmware for the iPad
iPod, iPhone and iPad Firmware Download
Youll find it on the bottom list. Download and leave on desktop, if the file is still in .zip format just rename it (or delete the .zip part) so it ends with .ipsw! (Should look like a piece of white lego)
2.Plug in the iPad and wait for the "ping" noise
3.Hold the topbutton and the home button for exactly 10 seconds.
On the dot of 10 seconds release the top button, but keep holding the home button.
Hold it until (and this is where it will hopefully work out for ya) itunes tells you it found an iPad in restore mode.
Timing is of the essence so it might take you a couple of runs to get it right, you'll know when you got it as the ipad screen should turn black and itunes will inform you that it found the iPad and that you need to restore as previously mentioned.
4.Now, hold down Option and click on restore, a pop up menu should appear, find the previously downloaded firmware and choose it.
Let us know how it works out!
