Can't get it to unlock, it has an icloud backup message on the screen and won't let me cancel the message and log on? Tried to shut the machine off and it won't turn off with the button either. locked???

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Hold Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds until the device restarts, so you will be able to use the iPad again.
It will try to make a backup every time your iPad is plugged to the charger and connected to a network. To prevent that this message appears soon, open Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, and choose Backup Now

HT4085 I have a message on my ipad that has locked it up. About icloud backup hasn't been done in 5 weeks. How can I clear this up?

My ipad is locked up. A message stating that an icloud backup has not been done for 5 weeks. How can I get rid of this and prevent this from happening again?

This should get rid of the message once the iPad fully restarts.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
The obvious answer I would think is to backup the iPad on a regular basis so the message doesn't reappear - unless you are saying that you do backup and the message popped up anyway.

After charging my IPad, Iam trying to use my I pad and screen says that ICloud backup hasn't been done and screen is locked will not let me escape

Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears

Can't get my iPad to back up to the iCloud.

I can't get my iPad to back up to the iCloud. My iPhone backs up regularly and there is no iCloud storage space issue. It won't even back up when I hit the "Back Up Now" button. The iCloud Backup button has been selected and the Wifi is working. The message I receive when I hit the "Back Up Now" button is "The last backup could not be completed. Last Backup: Never."

HT4847 My iPad has the message, "iCloud backup - hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks. Back ups happen when the iPad is plugged in and connected to WiFi. The device will not let me click "ok" it is frozen and will not turn off allow access to other functions

My iPad is locked up, the message "iCloud backup hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks, needs to be plugged in, locked and connected to WiFi." It is unresponsive to the "ok" command to move forward with the backup. It is stuck.

Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

My Ipod Touch Was dropped and screen is broken. How can I get It Fixed? I cannot Unlock the Ipod Touch, all I can do is play Music and Change Songs.

I Dropped My Ipod Gen 4 on a Granite Floor and it Spider webbed. Now all I can do is Play songs and change songs from the lock screen. I cannot unlock the Ipod or do anything else. Is there any way for me to get it fixed Cheap???

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

You can do it at an Apple store by making an appointment:
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
or send it in to Apple. See:
Service Answer Center - iPod
A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

Replace the screen yourself if you are up to it

Can I get my iPad cleaned from dust under the screen at the Apple Store?

I have an iPad that I have purchased early last year. My warranty on the iPad is up and I have realized there is dust under the screen. There is a newly built Apple Store at a mall in my city. I am wondering if I could visit the store and request a technician to open my iPad and clean the screen, if it's possible they can do that. If I can, will there be a fee? If not, what other things can I do?

No, they will not be able to clean it at the store. They will likely only be able to offer a replacement at a substantial cost (if that). Based on what you have described, unless you are far wealthier than me, you get to live with it.

How can I get me Ipad or Ipod to change the sequence of how it shuffles music? It always shuffles in the same order, not randomly so I only get the hear the same songs in the same supposedly shuffled sequence. Doesn't seem shuffled at all

I have a number of external hard drives connected to my system - when I am powering down and I try to eject the drives before powering down the system tells me the drives can't be ejected because some other program may be using them. I have no other programs running and have to force eject the drives. This is something new that's happening and I'm worried it may mean somebody is accessing my system from outside my network. Anybody else have this issue?

What exactly is the material you have? What does item properties say about it? If it's too small you'll have to scale it up, but if you scale it up a lot it's going to get soft and pixely.

I can not get my iPad to mirror on Apple TV. When I toggle the tv screen goes black and the iPad freezes. Have updated the iOS to latest settings and also updated the settings on the Apple TV

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.

When i tried to download iOS8 on my iPad Mini it told me that I needed to connect my iPad to iTunes, I have done that and now it says I need to restore my iPad. How can I get my iPad working without losing everything on my iPad?

When i tried to download iOS8 on my iPad Mini it told me that I needed to connect my iPad to iTunes, I have done that and now it says I need to restore my iPad. How can I get my iPad working without losing everything on my iPad? I don't want to lose my apps and photos!
Help would be much appreciated!

If you are getting the connect to iTunes screen then it's too late to take a new backup and/or copy anything off it. Prior to starting the update did you take a backup, either to the cloud and/or to your computer's iTunes ? If not then have you recently taken a backup that might have your photos and apps content/settings in it ?
As long as the apps are still in your country's store then you should be able to redownload them via the Purchased tab in the App Store app (and the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes), and if the apps store their content on a server/cloud service then you might be able to get their content back from that - if they store their content on the device then you will need to have a backup.
For our photos you could try doing a search for programs that claim to be able to recover content from a device - I haven't used any so I can't suggest one.

I can't get my iPad to find my iPod touch via bluetooth... Help!!!

I can't get my iPad to find my iPod touch via bluetooth, tried shutting off wifi on both and reseting. iPod 2 days old, 4 th gen white, iPad 2 = 2 months old

This is happening to many people.
For me, it's the Key Note Remote app that won't connect with my iPad2 from my iPhone4 after update to iOS5.
Apparently this does not affect the new iPhone 4S.
But that's not a solution unless you are planning on upgrading.
I'm still waiting for a response from Apple but I'd advise you to go to whichever app isn't connecting with Bluetooth and hit the "REPORT A PROBLEM" button in iTunes app page for said app.
This will go directly to the devs and should ellicite a faster response.
Hope this gets fixed soon.
Warm regards.
