TS4585 I got this message on my ipad "This iPad hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi.
I have this message on my iPad and the device hungs. I cannot do anything with it, including powering off.
"This Ipad hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks. Backups happens when this Ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi."
Does anyone have an idea how to solve this problem?
Many thanks/Jeremy
The system error basically should lead to the culprit of your issue. iCloud will ONLY automatically back-up to the cloud if all of the following are met:
1) iDevice is plugged in to the wall outlet/power source.
2) iDevice is connected to a WiFi network; iCloud does not back up over 3G/DATA networks to limit the data caps on most carries nowadays.
3) iDevice has been locked and innactive - usually takes place when one is sleeping.
Make sure all three of these are in fact in effect. If you are noticing that it has gone 2+ weeks unable to backup automatically, I would recommend navigating to the iCloud settings panel on your iPad.
Tap on Settings -> iCloud
On this screen I would advise for you to scroll all the way to the bottom and selete Delete Account.
*THIS WILL NOT DELETE YOUR BACKUPS, JUST REMOVE THE ACCOUNT ASSOCIATION FROM YOUR iPAD**
After this has gone through, sign back into iCloud and manually do a backup by selecting Storage & Backup and scrolling down to select the Back Up Now option. Once this is complete, use your iPad as you would. Over the course of the next few days, go back to where that Back Up Now option was and below it you will see when the last backup was done. This should be changing almost daily if the mentioned measures earlie in my response have been met.
Should this not solve your problem then due let me know. But to my knowledge, this has solved my iCloud issues with my iPhone 4S and my iPhone 5.

My ipad won't open anything. I get the message: This ipad hasn't been backed up in two weeks. Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected to wifi. This device has beern plugged in and has 62% power. I can't access any buttons including the ok under the icloud backup message.
Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Hi, I have a problem with my ipad, it has this message on the screen and will not allow me to do anything at all not even swipe to open. It's very frustrating to say the least, can anyone help me with step by step instructions.
Not backing up should not restrict you from using the iPad (if it did, there would be a lot of people in trouble)
Try restarting the iPad, holding both the home and power button down until you see the Apple Logo and then try to log in. -
My ipad is "stuck on the above mentioned message! I hit ok, but nothing happens!! I can even turn it off... or use it!!!! What do I need to do????
You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists. -

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You might try a forced shutdown to begin with, hold down the top and home buttons together until the device shuts down, then restart it. -
Hi on my IPad Desk top I have the following message:
"This iPad hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks> Backups happen when the iPad is plugged in, locked and connected to Wi-Fi. When I tap Ok nothing happens.
The slide to unlock doesn't work wither. Can you help, please?Basic troubleshooting is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Has any of this been tried?
Just FYI, this is the iPhone forum. -
this phone hasnt been backed up in 7 weeks, backups happenn when this iphone isplugged in, locked and connected to wifi, what does this mean
That means that your backups are done to iCloud overnight. The phone must be left plugged in and wifi turned on.
If you are shutting your phone off at night - this is the reason for backups not being done. -
I have the ipad 2. I have a message on screen from icloud backup which states " This ipad has not been backed up in 4 weeks.

I can't operate my ipad due to icloud backup, msg showing this ipad hasn't backup in16 weeks. Now how to start n operate my ipad mini
Try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
When it's rebooted you can force a backup via Settings > iCloud
