HT4623 screen frozen with message saying not enough storage?

I unplugged my ipad from being charged today and it has a message about "Not enough storage" backup to icloud or manage your storage in Settings.
There is an option to Close or Settings however I cannot access either nor can I slide to unlock or slide to power off!!? It is just frozen completely with that message that I cannot get rid of. I did go to itunes from my computer and backed it up there and still no luck. How do I unfreeze it?
Thanks!

If your device is frozen and unresponsive, reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

My ipad is frozen.It says not enough storage but when I press the settings, it's still not moving or doing anything. What do I need to do?

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.
If your pad is running out of space it is time to delete unneeded items.

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.

Hi karlos16,
For the error message you are seeing, I found this article:
iCloud: Troubleshooting creating backups
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3992
"This iPhone cannot be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available."
This message is displayed when there is not enough storage space available in your iCloud Storage to complete your backup. You can either reduce the amount of data you are backing up under Backup Options, or you can buy more storage.
For the issue with the iPhone appearing to be unresponsive, I recommend this article for troubleshooting:

When trying to backup on iCloud I get a message of "not enough storage" eventhough I have 5GB free. What should I do?

The problem could be that you don't have enough storage on the device itself, not on iCloud. Go to Settings>General>Usage to see how much "Storage" you have available on the device. Farther down the list is the available storage on iCloud.
Also check:
Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage; there, tap the device you need info on and the resulting screen lists Backup Options with which apps store data on iCloud as well. Tap Show All Apps to get the complete list of apps and MB used for backup storage.
A device needs many MB of storage in order to perform a backup to iCloud.

Ashley ....
if you reset all settings, you will not lose anything at all. You will have to reset all of the device preferences again like your chosen wallpaper, your privacy settings, whatever settings in the Settings app that you changed from the factory default, will have to be entered again.
You will not lose any data, movies, songs, etc. I responded to your first post and told you that I'm not sure it will work anyway, it's just a suggestion. If you are not comfortable doing it, then don't do it.

HT1766 When I turn iPad on I get a box that says Not Enough Storage and neither the Closeor Settings buttons do anything. The iPad turns off on its own. It is full charged.
