ICloud Backup message stuck AND iPhone can´t reset
Much like other resolved problems, my iPhone 4 is stuck on the iCloud backup message "This iPhone hasn´t been backed up in X weeks. Backups happen when this iPhone is plugged in, locked, and connect to Wi-Fi." Hitting "OK" on this notification does nothing. A simple reset would resolve the problem. However, the power button (top button) is nonfunctioning. I have been relying on assistive touch to lock my iPhone whenever I need to. However, I can´t use the assistive touch lock screen button in conjuction with the home button to sucessfully reset my iPhone. Is there another way I can get get rid of the stuck iCloud backup message? Am I simply not using the assistive touch/home button method correctly? Thanks for reading this and please help!
Found the answer from another user after posting the question. Hold down the power off and home keys until the apple logo appears and then let go. Phone will re-boot.

I have in my ipad icloud backup window open and I can't close and I can't do anything I tried to press OK and nothing happen is freezing
Have you tried a soft-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.

new iPhone 6 plus 128 GB upgraded from 4S, continues to show iCloud backup message and won't allow me to upgrade software to iOS 8.1
Glad it helped. I can relate to not bringing your A game... I had (minor, outpatient) surgery this morning. I'm still in Percocet happy land. LOL
Hope the small feels better. -

My IPad is on but the iCloud backup message is stuck on screen. When I hit ok it remains on screen. I tried to restart but it won't let me swipe to power off.
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Hold Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds until your device restarts, so you will be able to use the device again -
My iPad is frozen with a message on the screen that says "iCloud backup is full" and it gives me the option of cancel or settings but will not go to either one or allow me to exit the message. How can I restart? It will not let me turn off or doesn't help to plug into computer
Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple logo.
Data will not be affected. -
When I try to back up my Iphone, I get a message that My Iphone can not be backed up on my computer. My computer is authorized and I have been successful with this in the past. I uninstalled Itunes and reinstalled the lastest version and the same problem occurs.
If you are running Tiger, you don't have time machine.
You need to get something like SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner (sorry, I don't have a handy link for CCC but you can Google it to get their site) to make a clone of your drive on the external and then do incremental backups. The free versions do a lot and you can upgrade to the full-service versions for small change if you need more. The one time I used SuperDuper! for cloning a volume it worked just fine.
(My backup application is the last PPC capable version of Retrospect, which does a credible job, or has over the past ten-twelve years.) -

Don't hold the power button and try to use the off slider, hold the power and home buttons until you see the Apple logo, then release.

I had to change my Apple ID and password in itunes. Now my icloud doesn't work and I can't update my apps on my iPhone. I have looked at suggestions on the community pages and apple suggestions but none of them are relevant to iOS 8.1.2
icloud just keeps bringing up my old email address & asking for my old password which doesn't exist anymore and when I try to sign out of icloud it wants my old password, when I tried to change my primary email back to the old one it wants me to verify it through an email address that doesn't exist. Please can you help me sort out this nightmare.Hi skippy2012trev,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you updated your Apple Id and password but now you are being prompted for the old information in iCloud. You are on the right track by changing the Apple ID back to the previous email address temporarily so that you can sign out. You should not need to verify the email address. After you edit the Apple ID back to the old email address and then sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, edit the Apple ID back to the address you would currently like to use. There is no need to change the password again, only the email address, unless you prefer to update the password again.
If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support
Change your Apple ID temporarily
If signing out and back in to iMessage or FaceTime didn't help, try these steps:
Change your Apple ID to the Apple ID you used previously. You shouldn't need to verify the email address.
Tap Settings > iCloud. Complete these steps only if the Find My [Device] setting is turned on:
Scroll down and tap Sign Out, then tap Sign Out to confirm. If you're using iOS 7 or earlier, tap Delete Account, then tap Delete to confirm.
Tap Keep on My [Device] or Delete from My [Device]. In either case, your data remains in iCloud and will be updated on your device when you sign in to iCloud again.
Enter the password for your previous Apple ID.
Change your Apple ID to the new email address that you want to use. You'll need to verify the email address.
Return to Settings > iCloud and sign in with your new Apple ID.
Cheers,
