How do I get rid of the iCloud Backup notification that's locking my iPad in order to connect to wifi and update?

I just moved to a remote area, and it has taken a while for my internet to be hooked up. I haven't really used my iPad since I got here, but now that I have wi-fi I went to turn it on, and I got an iCloud Backup message that says, "This iPad hasn't been backed up in 7 weeks. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to wi-fi." I hit OK but it won't go away, and I cant get into my settings or any other app while it's up. So, I'm not sure how I'm supposed to get it connected to the wi-fi? I tried plugging it in, and it didn't work. I can't even turn it off...any ideas?

Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.  This only restarts it; you won't lose any data by doing this.

    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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    Hello enrique a.
    Instead of trying to re-invent the wheel on this one, take a look at an article such as this one to help you take care of these exclamations.  Basically, it means iTunes is unable to locate the file on your computer anymore.

    Perhaps you are loading a template that has a text block already on it.
    You might try the blank template option and set that as your go to template in your preferences

    Thanks Meg. Trouble is it disrupts emails addresses being keyed in - that is, not from the Contacts book...
    How so?  You trying to type over it? If you keep typing the addresses drop below to next line.  I have tried and tried to make it disrupt anything without success.

  • When using 'sponge' effect on a fill, how do I get rid of the white 'pixellations' (if that is what they are called around the edges of the fill?

    When using 'sponge' effect on a fill, how do I get rid of the white 'pixellations' (if that is what they are called around the edges of the fill?

    I tried to give you this solution before, but maybe you missed it. This simple procedure will mask out all the various sponge edge-artifacts. Here it is in simple steps:
    1. Make the path shape you want to apply the sponge effect to.
    2. Highlight that path, and select Object > Path > Offset path ... choose +2 points (or whatever works for your drawing scale, to ultimately eliminate the outside line and the artifacts) -- this will make a slightly larger shape, based on the original shape.
    3. Cut the outside path (command or alt-X), select the inside path, and paste the outer path BEHIND the inner path (command or alt-B).
    4. Apply the sponge effect to the OUTER path.
    5. Highlight BOTH paths, and create a MASK (command or alt-7).
    Now you have your original shape, with sponge applied, and the outer 2 points (or whatever your Offset Path was set to), are masked out, masking out the outside line and the sponge artifacts.
    This works with any Document Raster Effect Settings dpi.

  • How do I get rid of the iOS diagnostics page that won't shut off!!!

    I have an iOS message that won't get off my iPad. I wanted to get diagnostics, and learned that I was out of warranty to receive it. Now I can't get rid of the ios diagnostics page that won't go away after I canceled it.  This is my first apple product, so I'm completely in the dark! ANYONE, PLEASE HELP!

  • With Knoll Light Factory how do you get rid of the pinpoint of light that overlap obscuration layer?

    I have KLF 3.0 on AE CS6, I am trying to add a nice flare to some keyed footage of a rock star for music video...
    I set it up so it looks like a light is behind him and I want him to obscure it a bit when he moves around... However, I can't get rid of the little pinpoint of light where I have the source! My obscuration layer works properly, as he crosses it it dims the light, but the light doesn't totally disappear when he's in front of the "Source"! There's still a little pinpoint that crosses over him ruining the effect I'm going for!
    Does someone know how to get rid of that little artifact?
    I've tried tweaking all the settings to no avail...
    Thanks all!

    Interesting. I have also experienced a similar problem involving a Knoll lens flare effect (v. 3.0) and obscuration, in this case some 3D text, backlit by a Knoll flare applied to a background layer. The flare moved across and behind the text and faded in and out either side of the text within the comp frame via keyframed opacity settings. The pinpoint of light appeared against the background at the end of the flare's path (beyond the text) on an opacity keyframe that was mistakenly adjusted to 1% instead of 0%. However after re-setting it to 0% and RAM previewing the pinpoint of light remained. Couldn't be eliminated. It was permanent and was also visible in the rendered output. The only quick way to eliminate it was to replace the background layer with a new one, add a new Knoll lens flare effect, copy and paste the keyframes from the original Knoll effect, check the opacity was indeed set to zero at the total fade-out frame and render/playback again. The pinpoint was gone. Puzzling. Not sure if this is what's happening in your case though.

  • How do I get rid of the Apple Watch ad that's just appeared as an app icon on my iPhone 6 Plus?

    Ad for Apple Watch has just appeared on my iPhone 6 Plus (iOS 8.3)--how do I get rid of it? Holding the button down to get jiggly app icons doesn't help--it doesn't have a Delete "x"; neither does it appear as an app in settings. I'm a bit unhappy about this appearing unbidden, out of the blue. If I want ads/demos, I'll download them. No call for pushing them onto my phone.

    It's not an ad/demo.  It's the app needed to use the Apple Watch with your iphone.  Like all apps that are part of the iOS, it can't be deleted.

  • TS4002 I have two mail accounts.  One is called icloud and one is called Icloud.  How do I get rid of the Icloud account without removing the icloud account?

    Under Mailboxes, there is a list:
         All Inboxes
         Icloud
         iCloud
         VIP
    Under Accounts
    @ Icloud
    (cloud symbol) iCloud
    In Settings, there is only one (cloud symbol) account:  iCloud
    Under Settings ==> Mail, Contacts, Calendars, there are two accounts.
         iCloud is for Mail, Notes, Photos, find My iPad, Documents & Data
         Icloud is only for Mail, Notes
    I can turn mail off for the Icloud account.  If I turn off Notes, there is a warning:  All IMAP notes will be removed from you iPad.
    I can turn off mail and notes for the iCloud account.  No problems
    The Default Account for Notes is Icloud.
    I have changed the Default Accounts for Notes to "On My iPad."   Still not able to turn of the notes in the Icloud Account.
    And, now for something completely different!  The multiple mail box accounts do not show up in the Mail app.  There are still multiple accounts for notes.

    I went to Notes.  Showed all notes.  Three notes are duplicated, one on iCloud and one on Icloud.  I deleted one of the notes and checked to see if the other still existed.  It did.  I deleted the other two notes.  I check all notes and found that the three notes were deleted on both accounts.  The only notes on this device are under On My iPad.
    I went into system settings and tried to delete the Icloud account.  The warning comes up:  This will delete all IMAP notes on your device.  Will this also delete the notes in On My iPad?
