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.

The Ipad came up with a notification, and can't get out of it. It's saying: Ipad not backed up. This Ipad hasn't been backed up.Backups happen when this Ipad is plugged in,locked, and connected to Wi-fi. When I press OK it can't continue. Please REPLY
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.

my newly bought i pad 4(4gs), ratina display, is not letting me doing anything. it is saying 'this ipad hasn't been backed up. backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected to wifi'. i have tried to powered off by pressing the top right hand button till the red slide comes up. but it is not sliding to the right. could anyone help me out??
Locked, refers to the device being plugged in with "slide to unlock" being displayed on the screen. To recap - your device will automatically back up to icloud when it is connected to power, the screen is locked, and it is connected to a wifi network.
-Wifi is required to limit impact on your data plan.
-Power is to ensure the device has sufficient power to perform the backup.
-Screen lock - to make sure the device is not in use - which could slow or stop the backup.
The initial backup may take some time. Plug it in to the wall before bed, and make sure it is connected to your wifi network. The backup SHOULD be completed when you wake up in the morning.
Hope this helps. -

Did you already try to reset the iPad by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again?
You will not lose data doing a reset, but it can clear some glitches. -
Ipad locked up as it hasnt backed up. can't reboot or anything to get in and back up
Go to Settings, iCloud, and then Storage and Backup. You will then see a button to backup your iPad. It may be that you have much stuff (i.e. photos, apps) for it to do a full backup but you will be able to tell what the estimated backup should be and what it will consist of so that you can choose to prune down items. If you don't want to backup and get rid of the messages you can just turn backup off from this area as well.

If you are stuck on that screen and can't get out of it, reboot the iPad.

Assuming that you have iCloud backups turned on .... go to Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup>Backup Now. -
My IPad 2 is frozen. I cannot carry out the iCloud Backup even though I have plugged it in and the screen went to lock and I was connected to Wi FI. The OK button will not respond. The unlock slide will not respond. I cannot turn off the IPad, it just doesn't respond to anything. Please can anyone help? Lindy

Hi.
My iPad froze with a message "icloud backup" I clicked ok but it will not budge or unfreeze for me to do anything. I tried to power it off with no luck. Please someone help.You posted in the wrong forum, Snow Leopard. You need to post in the iPad forums. It's where the iPad users hang out at.

I have a new ipad. Having trouble making it work. when I try to open it, message pops up that says this ipad hasn't been backed up. backups happen when this ipad is plugged in (done), locked (think I did that) and connected to Wi-Fi. (How do I do that?)

My iPad 2 is frozen. Error message "...hasn't been backed up...Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to WiFi." I've got it plugged in, backed up all data using iCloud but can't turn on WiFi BECAUSE iPad is frozen. Any ideas?
1. Try doing a hard reset:
Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears. -
My iPad is locked up, the message "iCloud backup hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks, needs to be plugged in, locked and connected to WiFi." It is unresponsive to the "ok" command to move forward with the backup. It is stuck.
Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

I recently purchased an I-Pad mini. It has an error message that states, 'this ipad hasn't been backed up in 4 weeks. Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked and connected to Wi-Fi. When i press on OK, nothing happens. The ipad is locked and i can only access SIRI, so i asked SIRI to open settings and i can see my Wi=-FI, but can't see if it's actually connected. I locked it, plugged it in, and hoped that it would fix itself.
i don't know how to get rid of the error message and the ipad mini won't respond to anything except SIRI....
Please help..
thanks
