During manual icloud backup can i turn off my ipad

I am backing up my ipad 3 to icloud  manually but  it will take several hours.  Can I turn off my ipad while doing the icloud backup?

You cannot turn off iPad.
1. You should enable iCloud Backup
2. Plug in charger
3. Put iPad on Sleep Mode
4. iPad will automatically backup your iPad
Note: Make sure iPad is connected to Wi-Fi

    Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

  • ICloud Backup failed.  Turn off Airplane Mode or use Wi-fi.

    iCloud Backup Failed.  Turn off Airplane Mode or use Wi-fi.  Airplane mode is turned off and I am connected to wi-fi but still I can't backup.  What do I do now?

    Hi Barbara,
    I just had the same issue.
    resolution:
    get to your network settings - disable wifi, then enable 3G and cellular connection
    Now get back to icloud backup menu and try to enable. of course it wont work. back again to network settings switch wifi back on, and got to icloud again. This time it will allow you to set your backup
    cheers :-)

  • Documents uploaded to icloud disappear when I turn off the IPAD

    documents uploaded to icloud disappear when I turn off the IPAD,I can see the documents only when icloud is open on the PC

    When you turn off any device, it will disconnect from the internet. My sense is that you're not quite explaining what's happening. Do you mean that when you turn it back on again it doesn't automatically reconnect? Do you mean the if it just goes to sleep (as opposed to being powered off) that it switches from WiFi to cellular? Or are you saying that you think that when you turn off the iPad, the router disconnects?
    If you're trying to say that the iPad disconnects from WiFi when asleep and switches to cellular, the solution is to keep it plugged into a power source.
    Best of luck.

  • Restoring from iCloud - when can I turn off iCloud from old phone?

    Hi - I upgraded from 4S to 6 and I'm restoring from iCloud backup - it's taking a while to download all the apps and photos as I expected.  While it's downloading/restoring from iCloud can I turn off iCloud service from the old 4S or do I have to wait until it's complete on the 6?

    No.  When you turn it off it removes your existing backup.  You'll have to back up to your computer using iTunes (after turning off iCloud backup it will automatically back up when you sync).

  • TS3992 Altho' my 4S iPhone is connected to Wi-fi & I have a correct Apple/icloud ID and password, I keep getting the message "icloud backup Failed. Turn off airplane mode, or use Wi-Fi to enable iCloud backup." Should I delete my account,setting up a new

    I cannot activate my iCloud backup of my 4S iPhone, even though I have definitely deactivated Airplane mode, and am connected to Wi-Fi.  I also have a correct Apple/iCloud ID and password. 
    Should I delete my iCloud account and set up a new one??
    Please give me some assistance with this problem!
    Sincerely, Brianrit

    To unfreeze it, reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.
    To troubleshoot your problem with backing up to iCloud, this may be caused by a corrupt existing backup that needs to be deleted, or by data on your iPad that is preventing the backup from succeeding.  To troubleshoot these, try deleting your last iCloud backup (if you have one) by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, swipe across your backup and tap Delete, then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on and try backing up again.
    If it still won't back up, you may have an app that is preventing the backup from succeeding.  To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again.  If it succeeds, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is preventing the backup and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again.  If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again.  If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails.  Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.

  • I can't turn off new ipad

    I bought new iPad yesterday. I can't turn it off.
    Have tried
    Holding down on off switch
    Holding home button and on off switch for 10 secs
    Resetting iPad.
    Any ideas.

    Just to confirm, you're holding down the button in the top right (when the red slider appears, slide it right)? I wouldn't consider it a switch as much as a button, so I wanted to make sure you weren't holding down the mute/unmute or lock/unlock orientation switch.
    As a drastic last attempt, you may want to try a "factory reset" or reset to new: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    If that still doesn't work, you may have faulty hardware and you'll want to take it to an apple store.

  • I can't turn off "find Ipad"

    My Ipad is asking me every 1-2 seconds for apple id password. I putted it but it can't be veryfied because ipad hasn't internet connection. The last one can't be connected because every 1-2 seconds pop-up is opening. I can't do anything

    Try resetting it to see if that gives you time to connect.  To do this, hold the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release and wait for it to restart.  As soon as it does, try to connect to wifi before the prompts resume.

  • How can I turn off the iPad theme on safari?

    I was recently on a website in safari on my iPad, I minimised the safari and went back on it a while later, now it's gone onto something called iPad theme?
    Every time I click off to turn it off, it does nothing
    Anyone know what to do as it has made the websites look awful?
    Thanks

    This is weird, never heard of it. Just by safety try to force quit the app thou... When in the app, press on the sleep/wake button until the shutdown screen appears, then press the home button until the app quits.

  • I can't turn off find my ihone, always show "there was a problem when canceling the registration of this iphone with icloud" please help me. i can't restore my iphone before turn off find my iphone

    i can't turn off find my ihone, always show "there was a problem when canceling the registration of this iphone with icloud" please help me. i can't restore my iphone before turn off find my iphone

    If you are the original owner of the phone and know the Apple ID and password that were used to activate it originally, and if you have an existing backup to restore from, you can force it into recovery mode (which will completely erase it) and restore it as explained here: If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support.  When you do you will encounter activation lock, and will have to provide the ID and password used to activate it originally in order to activate it again.  If you can't, you won't be able to activate and use it.

  • How can I turn off icloud

    Hi
    I looked an no such option exists there is only 4 options
    1. open itunes when phone is connected

    But no I am stuck in limbo with no way to synch or back up my contacts
