HT4557 My new Apple Mini IPad has a message box and is froze and will not let me click OK. The message: 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.

My new Mini IPad is frozen with a message (IPad Not Backed Up) and does not respond when I touch OK. What must I do next? I cannot find the correct ITunes page to sync IPad to Computer ITunes.

Try this now.
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.

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

Try holding down the on/off and the home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Hold Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds until your device restarts, so you will be able to use your device again. Finally, open Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, and make a backup. The device will be backed up when it's plugged to the charger and connected to your network

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.

then there is an OK bar underneath
anyone experience this and if so how do I reboot?

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.

Perform a Reset...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

Same situation. Had to pull out the Mini to research this. The Apple logo has been on the screen about five min, oh, just went black. Home brought it back and popup is gone. Wonder why this happened to many folks.

My wife's iPad, on returning from holiday has an onscreen message saying that it is two weeks since last backup. Backup happens when this iPad is plugged in, locked and connected to Wi-Fi. When she presses the ok button nothing happens and it is impossible to go to settings or any other onscreen app. Switching off makes no difference and we have no idea what to do! Any ideas?

Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.
