IPad cannot backup without a verified email address--LOCKED

Message pops up after lock screen that says:
"iPad cannot backup without a verified email address"
with the options of LATER and SETTINGS. I usually select LATER button and move on. This time it is locked up. I tried a hard rest by pressing the home button and power/ sleep button but nothing happens.
I have not setup an iCloud account, and have not set up to sync with a Mac or PC.
Please help.

Thanks JimHdk,
Can't get to the settings due to the error message. It will not allow me to select an option.
I do believe that a hard reset is the answer, and i am able to go through to the black out screen, but the Apple logo is not coming up.
If I am unable to accmplish a hard reset today I may just have to make an appointment at the genius bar.

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.

HT5625 I am stuck on this page that says this ipad cannot back up icloud without a verified email address and it also has a button that says later or settings

so how do I get out of it?

You have to respond to the verification email that Apple should have sent you when you set up the iCloud account by clicking the Verify Now link. Make sure you are check the email address you used to set up your iCloud account. Check the spam/junk folder as well as the inbox. If it isn't there, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage your Apple ID, sign in, click on Name, ID and Email addresses on the left, then to the right click Resend under your Primary Email Address to resend the verification email.

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.

Hope you can help.
I have added a new email address but kept my Id, but I get busy when trying from iPhone to iPad as they are clashing. Like find my iPhone app hence trying to keep them all on one account

IOS: using facetime http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4319
using an ipad will use the email address since you can't make a phone call. see the link.
Your basically calling/emailing yourself that's why your getting a busy signal.

I was wondering if you ever figured this out. I have the same issue. When I try to use the support communities, there are so many with the same problems and never seem to be any replys?? Not very helpful and I can not get Apple to return my emails.

Icloud will not back up because it says email address not verified. I am not getting a link in my email to follow to verify account, checked email address listed is correct, so how do I verify email address when I dont get the email link?

I am unable to verify email address to sign in to icloud so that I can backup my stuff. I am not getting an email from apple to follow a link to verify email address. I have checked to make sure the email address is correct in the icloud settings, but all it will tell me is to check my email for instructions on how to verify my account. I am not getting the email! Please help, I am able to sign in to my itunes account and buy new music all the time! I get my itunes receipts and everything, and know the email is correct so what is the deal?

If you have given correct info about you ios 6.1.3 - all you need to do is delete account. You will be able to sign in with new one afterwards. Make sure you don't delete any info when you see those prompts.

I have changed my email address and changed my Apple ID. However iCloud on my ipad and an ipad mini still shows my old email address. How can I change my iCloud email address?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iTunes account on your iOS device, you need to sign out from your iOS device first, then sign back in using your updated details. (Settings > iTunes & App store, scroll down and tap your ID)
If you are using iMessages or FaceTime, you will also need to log out and into your ID there too.

HT5622 I own three Apple devices, but my iPad remained associated with my old email address and password. How can I register it with the same new email and password?

If you updated your existing account then try logging out of it on the iPad by tapping on the id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad. If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.
