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."

Hello CapeBretonRocks,
The following article provides some useful troubleshooting steps that can help get your iPad backed up to iCloud.

  • My daughter's iPad is backing up to my iCloud, which is how we set it up originally. Now she has her own iPhone with her own iCloud. How can I get her iPad to back up to her own iCloud?

    My daughter's iPad is backing up to my iCloud, which is how we set it up originally. Now she has her own iPhone with her own iCloud. How can I get her iPad to back up to her own iCloud?  Her iPad is taking up 3.4MB of my 5MB. I need my space back!

    I suppose ya.  If she deletes my account from her iPad it won't affect my account, right? 
    Yes, that's correct, it won't affect your account or your devices in any way.
    Use the delete account button in the iCloud settings.
    Then enter her iCloud details in the new screen that appears and log in. She should then be returned to the screen above but with her Apple ID at the top, enable the services she wishes to use and then tap the storage & backup option and ensure that iCloud backup is turned on.

    Not true at all.
    You only buy the right to your own personal use.
    You do NOT have the right to distribute to others.
    This is illegal.  There is no doubt about it

    This has happend to my ipod once...

    that might be a reason. Don't worry it will turn on after some time, try connecting it to your computer or charger and see if it helps!!...

  • How can I get my iPad screen back on?

    I cant get my iPad screen to turn on. I have tried holding the home and sleep button down and tried 'restoring' the iPad but it still not working and nothing appears on the screen. It is charged.
    I was having trouble before wtih watching a video. When I went to the video app I had a TV show on and when I hit the 'done' button in the upper left corner of the iPad the iPad would freeze up. I could not get to the list of video's on the iPad because I could not get out of the show that was the most recent show I was watching.
    To make it even weirder, iTunes can find the iPad so it must still be on and working (right?). But no matter what I try I can't get the screen to turn on.
    I don't know if this matters, but I took the iPad with me out of the counrty for 5 weeks and I just returned and today is the first time I synched it in 5 weeks (it did sucessfully sync more than once today). It worked fine while I was gone, except I did have one time where the video would freeze the iPad like described above, but it went away after just turning the iPad off and on.
    Any help would be great!

    It may be possible to force the iPad into recovery mode.  See <this article>.
    If that does not work, I suspect your iPad has an internal problem that will require repair.  If it is still in warranty, contact Apple.  If out of warranty, search the web for iPad repair centers.  There may be one in your city.

  • I can't get my IPad 16 GB to unlock the screen and let my online.  message is "icloud backup hasn't been done in 4 weeks"  Tried to turn the pad off etc. no results??

    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

  • My Ipad has gone blank and I can't get anything to come back up on the screen?

    My IPad has gone blank.  I was checking my mail and it started flashing and then it froze then it went blank.  All I have is a screen saver picture.  I can use Suri but nothing else.  HELP????  I have turned it off and turned it back on still nothing.

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Connect the iPad to a power source to charge the battery just in case.

  • 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.

  • How can I get my email access back after downloading the new iTunes on my iPhone?

    Yesterday I downloaded the latest iTunes 11.01.12 on my PC (Windows 7), then sync'ed to my iPhone G4.  Now when I try to access one of my email accts, I get the message: "The mail server "imap.gmail.com" is not responding..."  I have checked the acct info in Mail settings and all seems in order (IMAP Path Prefix is blank, Server Port is 993).  Strangely, my other email acct (also gmail) is working.  I have tried restarting, re-

  • When I click on a icon it pauses and then opens up tabs instead of just opening up the icon? How can I get it to go back to working the way it used to? Thank you!!!

    When i click on an icon it holds it down for a long time and then opens up different tabs instead of just opening up the icon

    By "tabs", do you mean something like this -
    If that is what you see, then you may be right-clicking on the icon instead of left-clicking on it.
    Right-clicking or Control-clicking on an icon in the Dock will bring up a menu like that (it is a contextual menu, so its content varies a bit from program to program).
    Usually, it is necessary to only click an icon in the Dock once in order to start up the program (if it has been quitted) or make it active (if it has not been quitted).
