I cannot close the icloud backup message and I cannot even shut down the iPad to use any of the apps

I cannot close the icloud backup message and I cannot even shut down the iPad to use any of the apps. Any tips or help would be appreciated

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • HT201412 The ICloud backup message is stuck on screen and won't go off.  Unable to power off to restart.

    My IPad is on but the iCloud backup message is stuck on screen.  When I hit ok it remains on screen.  I tried to restart but it won't let me swipe to power off.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Hold Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds until your device restarts, so you will be able to use the device again

    My ipad screen is frozen, with the icloud backup message (this ipad hasn't been backed up for 2 weeks ect)

    Holding both worked for me as well. The problem occurred immediately after going back to the Apple store. Just purchased the ipad2 and the next day the view account button on data settings disappeared. They had to upload latest update and that resored it. The next day icloud froze the screen. Hopefully this fixes it.

  • Receiving a serious error message and premiere 9 must shut down

    When i open the program i get the welcome screen then i click to open a new or existing file and i get a gray background with a error message "sorry a serious error has occurred that requires adobe premiere elements to shutdown.We will attempt to save your current project'' The program worked fine a few weeks ago now it is not.

    lightsups
    Just some questions specific to Premiere Elements 9 with Premiere Elements details.
    For now I am assuming that you are using Premiere Elements 9 on Windows 7, 8, or 8.1 64 bit.
    Please go to Edit Menu/Preferences/Scratch Disk and tell us to what hard drive location you have
    pointed the Scratch Disks and how much free space is at that location.
    Then please go to Libraries/Documents/Adobe/Premiere Elements/9.0 and tell us how many files you
    find in the Adobe Premiere Elements Previews Files Folder and the Media Cache Files Folder. Delete
    the content of of either folder if it has pile ups of files. Also go to Edit Menu/Preferences/Media and hit
    the Clean button in the Media Cache Database area there.
    Please delete the Adobe Premiere Elemens Prefs file or the 9.0 Folder in which it exists. The path to
    the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file in Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 is
    Local Disk C
    Users
    Owner
    AppData
    Roaming
    Adobe
    Premiere Elements
    9.0
    and in the 9.0 Folder is the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file that you delete. If that does not work,
    then delete the whole 9.0 Folder in which the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file exists. Make sure the
    you are working with Folder Option Show Hidden Files, Folders, and Drives active so that you can see
    the complete path cited.
    I am assuming that you have been and are running the program from a User Account with Administrative
    Privileges and that you have the latest version of QuickTime installed. But good to double check. In addition, even
    if you are working from a User Account with Administrative Privileges, right click the Premiere Elements 9 desktop
    icon and click on Run As Administrator.
    Let us pause here, review the above, and then decide what is next.
    Thanks.

  • When I updated the adobe flash player and went to facebook I'm not able to play any of the apps, one says I need to update my version of adobe and it has been updated, now I'm not able to open any of the games on facebook!

    After I downloaded Firefox, I attempted to update the top four plugins, I already have adobe flash player, but I went on ahead and downloaded it again with the other three, java and two others. I then restarted my computer, and when I logged back on to face book Farmville would not load a message said if it don't load in ten seconds I would need to update the adobe flasher which is in my add and delete box. The same with Cafe world, it will not load as well! My google search is missing as well! I have no problems logging on to Face book, but I can't go to any of the applications that I normally play with now! I did updated the top four plugins as was suggested and now I'm having problems!

    Your above posted list of installed plugins doesn't show the Flash plugin for Firefox.<br />

    Help Please
    Jim

    Ops I replied to myself in error.....
    Tom:
    I performed the steps indicated but this morning when I clicked the mouse and hit the space key and clicked the track pad again as before nothing happens.
    I hold the power button for a few seconds and the screen fills as if the computer was normally awakened but it is locked up.
    Then I have to shut it down with the power button  and then power it up as a reboot.
    Not good...SMC reset didn't work....Throughout the day yesterday I put the computer to sleep and woke it up normally.  It seems to be a overnight problem.
    Am I going to have to shut it down everynight?

  • My 4S phone has completely frozen and will not even shut down.

    I was trying to open a video link, and now I just have a black screen with the spinning white circle (which is not spinning). I have tried both pressing and holding the power button to try and force a shut down (nothing happened) and pressing and holding the power and home keys to reset (still nothing).

    Force your device into rebooting by holding down the Home and Sleep buttons until the Apple logo appears, then release.  Wait for your lock screen to appear.
