HT4847 How do I unlock my ipad. It Wants me to back up icloud but can't get rid of message to try

My ipad is showing a message that advises icloud has not been backed up for 2 weeks and the ipad needs to be plugged in and charging to enable back up. However, I can't get rid of the message so that I can turn on wi-fi and start back up. This has happened to me before and I ended up having to pay a one off fee of £25.00 for advice to clear the message that was quick to do. Can't remember how to do it though. Does anyone know how to unfreeze the screen please? I have tried holding the wake up button but that just brings up the swipe to power off screen, which does not react to a swipe. Please help.

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

I am trying to unlock my ipad with the message that the ipad has not been backed up successfully in 2 weeks, but can not get past this screen. I have plugged it in, it is connected to the internet, but will not back up or do anything else. What can I do?

IPad Mini - "Sign in to Facetime" continually pops up; can't get rid of it or do anything else. I've never signed in to Facetime. Help.

When I open the iPad Mini, immediately a "Sign in to Facetime" message pops up, along with a keyboard. If I 'cancel' it pops back within a second or so. I cannot do anything on the Mini now. What happened? (I have never used Facetime.) The only 'odd' thing I did recently was to delete unwanted free games. Help, please. JoAnne

Try RIGHT clicking on different areas of the toolbars on Firefox, mainly try right clicking on/around the url bar & forward/back navigation buttons. When you get the correct spot if will give you a menu with the toolbars available (whether or not they're active) and a couple other options. Just uncheck the Yahoo one & you should be all set.
As you say though it may be some other bar disguised as a yahoo bar. Any chance you can get a screen shot of it & post it here?

Ican't synchronize the IPAD I want to update to IOS 5.0. I get an error message: IPAD couldn´t be restored. Unknown error (14)

I wanted to update an IPAD II and when I tried to sychronize it through ITUNES (10.5.3) , get an error message: "IPAD couldn´t be restored. Ihas been produced an unknown error (14)
The IPAD all the time presents a screen with a cable trying to connect to iTunes
I uninstall and install again last version of ITUNES and update my operating system. I have a PC with WINDOWS 7.

Try a different USB port on the PC - do not use a hub. Disconnect any other USB devices that are not needed for the restore. This may provide more help.

My cursor is displaying a magnifying window that I can't seem to get rid of.What did I press by mistake and how can I get rid of it?

Try clicking On then back Off again.
If you still have trouble, try deleting the preference files assoicated with Universal Access.
Quit System Preferences if it's open.
Go to ~/Library/Preferences
To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library
Move the com.apple.universalaccess.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Trash.
Relaunch System Preferences > Universal Access

You have to wipe your iPad, and restore as new. Everything you had on there is now gone, unless you had it elsewhere.

You may have to do this several times.
Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
 Cheers, Tom

Make sure you have the Current Version of iTunes Installed on your computer
iTunes free download from www.itunes.com/download
Then... see Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
You may need to try this More than Once... Be sure to Follow ALL the Steps...
Take your time... Pay particular attention to Steps 3 and 4.
After you have Recovered your Device...
Re-Sync your Content or Restore from the most recent Backup...
Restore from Backup > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Note. Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything... and you must continue with the Recovery...

iPads are not "locked". Get an iPad data plan and sim card from a local provider and connect to their 3G/LTE service.
