Pull a downward one finger swipe on the springboard to initiate spotlight. Type the application name to see if the global prefs log has recorded that you have the application installed with a valid owner code signature.

if applications were installed with another appleID and require an update to execute but you are signed into the AppStore with a different appleID, the situation you are describing can occur.

My iPad app icon shows at seven but when I go into it to see what needs to be updated, nothing is listed for updates. What is the seven on the icon for? I just downloaded 11.02

The 7 showing means you have apps that need to be updated. Click on the update app and on the next screen click on all available updates which probably will be at the upper left corner. When you select that, the apps that need to be updated will appear. These are the updates for the apps and has nothing to do with IOS.

Apple i-pad air boots up to a larger screen,the touch icons are hard to move.

Hi Julie
If by larger screen, you mean Zoomed screen, it could be that you have turned on zoom in Settings / Accessability.
Also.... the iPad is "booted up" all the time. Generally all you are doing is Waking the iPad from sleep or screen in sleep mode.
To ReBoot your iPad (worth doing every month or so) First quit all Apps by double clicking round button and individually swipe each open App upward to shut the App down. When all apps are turned off, Hold the Top button & Round Button in together for about 5-10 seconds. This will shut the iPad down completely. When all off, Press the top button in for about 5 seconds. You will see the Apple logo while it ReBoots. This usually fixes any minor glitches etc in the Apps. If a particular App is giving problems, you can hold your finger down on it till the X shows in the LH Top of its icon. Click this and it will be wiped off your iPad. Then re download it for free through the App Store and check to see if problem has gone.

Hope this proves useful.

I was just playing a game and the back of my iPad got really hot

You don't say which iPad, but if it is the newest one, it is said that it will will run up to 10 degrees warmer that the older ones. It should be nothing to worry about as long as you aren't using it is direct sunlight. One thing you can do that should help is to open up the multitasking bar (the app bar that shows all the apps open) and close some of them. It also should be covered by the warranty. If it get so hot that it can burn your skin, I would bring it back to store for replacement, but you should be ok. Don't be surprised if this is fixed by a future patch just like the iPhone 4s battery issue was fixed. Also, if it burns out and it obviously not your fault, it is covered under the warranty.
