I have an ICloud Backup warning on my IPad

I have an ICloud Backup warning notification on my IPad that will not go away, thus leaving my IPad locked up and useless!! I have had it connected to WiFi and plugged in for two days....no change. Outside of a sledgehammer, is there a fix?

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.

I have the iCloud backup screen up and it won't let me do anything. It's stuck and I can't shut the ipad down or use the screen at all.

The iCloud back up screen it on my ipad. It won't let me do anything, turn it down or use any of the screen. I have even tried to force shut it down but it won't let me use the screen at all. I plugged it into my main computer to do a backup and it's still stuck.

It's rude not to share your solution and then mark your answer as correct so that it may help others. So in case anybody else reads 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 - let go of the buttons.
That will get you out of that backup screen. There is a reason that screens shows up. You haven't backed up your iPad! Make sure you backup regularly!

HT4436 On my touch I have an iCloud backup message asking me to check my settings, when I click on settings nothing happens and the screen goes black. It will not allow me to turn my touch on or off. What should I do to rectify this?

ICloud Backup Screen

I'm a little confused as to what what the iCloud Backup screen means.
Could somebody define what the difference between Backup Size and Next Backup Size is? There seems to be quiet a large gap between those to. Right now back ups only take 3 or 4 minutes so I assume that the bulk of the backup (the pictures) have already been uploaded. However, if the pictures have been uploaded shouldn't there be more than 7 GBs used?

Try this.

HT1766 icloud backup screen is frozen on ipad and I can't slide to open. What do I do?

icloud backup screen is frozen on ipad, and I can't slide to open. All locked up!

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.

You can't see inside a backup file on icloud, thus you can't view your photos at icloud.com.

Just bought the new iPad (3rd generation) and want to download files backed up previously in iCloud by my old iPad 2. Have my iCloud Backup option switched on on the new iPad but no luck in transferring the files. So my files are stuck in iCloud. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks

If you have already set up the iPad and activated it - You have to restore from the iCloud backup which entails totally erasing the device and then setting it up again from the iCloud backup.

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.

HT1414 iPad2 blockiert und läst sich nicht mehr bedienen mit folgender Meldung: iCloud-Backup: Für dieses iPad wurde seit 2 Wochen kein Backup erstellt. Backups werden erstellt, sobald das iPad angeschlossen, gesperrt und über WLAN verbunden ist"

bereits zum Zweiten Mal seit der Firmwareaktualisierung auf 6.0.1 steht das PAD2 still mit der Meldung:
iCloud-Backup: Für dieses iPad wurde seit 2 Wochen kein Backup erstellt. Backups werden erstellt, sobald das iPad angeschlossen, gesperrt und über WLAN verbunden ist.
Es geht nur mit der Wiederherstellenfunktion wieder in Betrieb zu nehmen.
Sehr sehr sehr nervig,
außerdem müssen alle CT Zeitschriften einzeln neu geladen werden.
Der Telefonsupport hat außerdem nicht angerufen- sondern die Meldung per Mail geschickt ich hätte den SupportTermin verpasst.
Ich saß neben dem Telefon, es hat nicht geklingelt- sehr schlechtes Benehmen vom Servicemitarbeiter.
Das ist sehr zeitraubend und macht einen stink sauer.
Trotz frohe Weihnachten.

Reset 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.
Starten Sie das iPad mit gedrückter auf den Schlaf und Home-Tasten gleichzeitig für ca. 10-15 Sekunden, bis das Apple Logo erscheint - ignorieren Sie die rote Schieberegler, wenn sie auf dem Bildschirm erscheint - lassen Sie die Tasten los. Lassen Sie das iPad gestartet.

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

Sorry this solution is late but I just got off of the phone with Apple support and this worked.
Open iTunes
Connect your iPhone and keep it connected during this entire process.
In the iTunes menu at the very top (File, Edit, View) choose STORE> Sign in and sign into your iTunes account.
Once this is complete look at the upper right corner of iTunes and you will see an iPhone and Store button, cick STORE. Now you will be in the iTunes store where you see the advertisements of the various albums, songs etc. Look on your upper left of the window for your itunes account name and in the black band next to your iTunes account name, you will see a House icon, then Music, Movies, TV Shows etc.
Make sure the HOUSE icon is selected.
Stay on this screen in iTunes and on the lower RIGHT, you will see an area that says- QUICK LINKS. In that area click - Purchased
After you do this you will be transported to another area of iTunes. Here there will be a menu across the top- Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, Books are the choices.
Choose APPS and you will see the apps that you have purchased. You will also see the apps that didn't download to your phone.
Find the apps that didn't download and click the cloud next to their name. Doing this will download the chosen apps to the computer you are on.
Once you have downloaded the apps in question, in the upper right corner click LIBRARY.
Now you should see the button that says iPhone because your phone is still plugged in. Click the iPhone button and then click SYNC on the lower right to sync your iPhone.
The apps you downloaded will now be on your phone.
Sorry for the long instructions but this is what works.

I changed my appleID, it worked fine but now I can not restore icloud backup in a new ipad (old appleid does not work and it is grey colored so I'm unable to change it)

Some months ago I changed my email address and so my appleID. Everything worked fine, but last week my ipad broke and when I tried to restore my icloud backup in my new ipad it does not work: it asks me for the password of the OLD appleID (it doesnt work); and in icloud configuration page the field for appleid is colored grey so I can not change it.
any clues? thank you in advance

My suggestion is to change apple id back. I know it is not something you want to hear, but there are suppose to be ways around it and usually they work, but not right now. I suspect that is consequences of Apple getting their servers ready for ios7. Normally in your situation - you should be able to get all your stuff back, but apps, and then you can sync those or download from icloud. But lately (last week) it does not seem to work normal way.
