HT4972 Why does my apple Ipad have the message ipad not backed up, this ipad hasn't been backed up, backup happenwhen this ipad is plugged in,locked, and connected to wifi
my ipad is locked up and message says ipad not backed up, this ipad hasn't been backed up. Backups happenwhen this ipad is plugged in, locked and connected to WIFI. How do I back up
If you are stuck on that screen and can't get out of it, reboot the iPad.
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.
Assuming that you have iCloud backups turned on .... go to Settings>iCloud>Storage and Backup>Backup Now.

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. -
My ipad is hung with the dialogue box saying "this iPad hasn't been backed up in 4 weeks. Backup happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked and connected to WiFi". Even after doing that, I am not able to do anything with the iPad - neither able to reboot nor able to get to the homescreen. The dialogue box doesn't go at all even after pressing OK a hundred times. I treid tacking the back up through itunes and through 3G conncetion but of no avail. Please help
I too have been having this issue since about 12/14. That is around the same time I got the Ipad for my kids. I am unsure if it is related. I have tried logging out of icloud/deleting it and trying again. Removing most of the apps to sync. I reset my router. All of the attempts have produced zero results. I will be anxiously watching this thread for some help. Good luck to you also

Message on ipad "Icloud Backup" "This Ipad has not been backed up for two weeks. Backup happens when ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected

ThanksA reset should help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons and await restart. No content will be affected.

My Ipad is locked with a message This IPAD hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks. Backups happen when this IPAD is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wifi. I have connected to wifi and the error message remains. Cannot power off because screen is locked
Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down together until you see the Apple Logo.
Note: You must hold both buttons down together. -
I have a message on ipad "hasn't been backed up in 43 weeks. Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked and connected to WiFi. I don't care to back up ipad, I just want to unlock it.
Do you mean you have forgotten your passcode for the slide to unlock? If so, the only way to undo it is to restore it in iTunes, and without a backup to then recover from, you are going to loose all the content on it.

Seriously, backing up is not really optional - sooner or later, it becomes essential to have a backup in place. -
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 says, "iPad Not Backed Up." This iPad hasn't been backed up. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connect to WiFi." When I touch "OK," nothing happens. When I try to turn it off, this message remains, and I can't slide to power off. Right now, it is "frozen up" and useless.
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 ipad has locked me out. It says ipad hasnt been backed up. Needs to be plugged in, locked, and connected to wifi. It won't let me do anything. How do I fix it?
Try this - Reset 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
