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?

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...

My ipad looks like been blocked. what should I do? My ipad said.
"This ipad hasn't been backed up in 4 weeks. Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected to wi-fi.
What is my ipad's problem?You need to make sure that you are connected to a WiFi network and have a good amount of battery power left, if not plug in a charger to be on the safe side. Once done go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Backup Now
This is basically your iPad giving you a gentle reminder to back it up.
