My iPad says, "iPad Not Backed Up." This iPad hasn't been backed up. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connect to WiFi." When I touch "OK," nothing happens. When I try to turn it off, this message remains, and I can't slide to power off. Right now, it is "frozen up" and useless.
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.

"This iPhone hasn’t been backed up in 2 weeks. Backups happen when this iPhone is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi."
I am get this message on my Ipad and have followed the instructions, connect the Ipad, lock the screen and connected to a Wi-Fi connection - however I have done this but I still get the message on the screen. It will not even let me press 'OK' - the screen is not responsive... I cannot access the OS. HelpReset your iPad to clear that condition:
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). -
I keep receiving a message on my Iphone 4s stating the following: "Iphone not backed up----This iphone hasn't been backed up. Backups happen when this Iphone is plugged in, locked and connected to a wi-fi." Is this a real message?

Screen alert, "This iPhone hasn’t been backed up in 2 weeks. Backups happen when this iPhone is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi." doesn't go away after tapping on "OK" button. Can't even switch iPad off.
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.

"This iPhone hasn’t been backed up in 2 weeks. Backups happen when this iPhone is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi." what do I do?
You be sure the iphone is plugged in, locked and connected to wifi. Then a backup will be attempted. Or, you can manually do a backup inside...
Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, turn on iCloud backup and tap the Manual button. -
Icloud will not run after upgrade to OS8, keep getting "this phone hasn't been backed up" message
I loaded OS8 on my 5c about five weeks ago. Since then, I have tried and tried to force a backup to icloud and fail every time. Phone does not auto backup either. I have an error message that says "This iphone hasn't been backed up in 5 weeks." I am connected to wifi. I also repeatedly get a popup asking for my apple id and password. When I enter the info, nothing happens. Anyone have an idea how to get icloud to work? BTW, I have plenty of space in icloud, According to settings, 4.2 GB still available out of my free 5 GB. Backup is turned on.

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. -
Cannot move past message that says iPad has not been backed up in 2 weeks by clicking ok. Trying to verify wi-fi connection
I am having the same issue with my iPhone since 12/1/12.
I have meanwhile changed routers to Apple Extreme plus been out of town and experienced various internet connections. Still get same message that my iphone has not been backed up since 12/1.
I have removed most of apps to sync as well. Zero results!
I have done manual back up in iTunes, and when I 'restore backup', the box shows the correct time for manual restore I just did. But the message still keeps popping up on my iphone that the phone has not been backed up. I get that same date - 12/1- displayed in ITunes as well.
I just did "Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then releasing" as you suggested and unfortunately, it still is showing 12/1- even though when I click 'Restore Backup" it shows the recent update.
Any more suggestions? Thanks!! -

Baffled by the message on screen as I have not tried to back up the machine. How do I do anything when I am unable to go beyond this message? I am on a friends laptop trying to make some sense of what has happened. I did get an email some time ago about verifying my id but have not had time to look at this and now can't find it. I am completely stuck - can anyone help?

"This iPhone hasn't been backed up." But iCloud backup isn't even enabled-
This message has been popping up sporadically for quite a while now, perhaps two months. It interferes even in the middle of making a purchase from the App Store.
But I don't use iCloud backup. I never have. The option for this is disabled in my phone's settings, and I couldn't even enable it if I wanted to - the toggle is greyed out and unresponsive. I back up to iTunes, and have done so for years.
Can someone advise me on removing this irritation? Telling me to simply perform a backup to iCloud will result in your post being reported.
Cheers.Try signing out of iCloud completely. That message shouldn't pop up if you aren't signed into iCloud at all.
Unfortunately I can't, as this would disable the Find My iPhone feature. Or were you suggesting I disable iCloud only temporarily? -
