Ipad has message on screen "icloud Backup that it hasn't been done in 3 weeks...... Fully charged it. Using usb, connected to my mac computer, I've synced it with itunes, got updates on itunes with no problems, message remains on ipadscreen.
Hi. Not sure what happened but I was able to use my ipad in December and it was backed up(sync with itunes). Now there is a message on the screen "iCloud Backup.....your icloud hasn't been backed up in 3 weeks...." and to click on ok.
I'm unable to clear the message. I syned it with itunes and tried again but its still there and I can't do anything with the ipad. The ipad go blank in a couple seconds, and I cannot use slide to unlock.
Can someone please help me with this.
Thank you,
Laura
See if this helps.
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 is locked up. A message stating that an icloud backup has not been done for 5 weeks. How can I get rid of this and prevent this from happening again?
This should get rid of the message once the iPad fully restarts.

The obvious answer I would think is to backup the iPad on a regular basis so the message doesn't reappear - unless you are saying that you do backup and the message popped up anyway. -
Can't get it to unlock, it has an icloud backup message on the screen and won't let me cancel the message and log on? Tried to shut the machine off and it won't turn off with the button either. locked???

Hold Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds until the device restarts, so you will be able to use the iPad again.
It will try to make a backup every time your iPad is plugged to the charger and connected to a network. To prevent that this message appears soon, open Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, and choose Backup Now -

Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release.

Baffled by the message on screen as I have not tried to back up the machine. How do I do anything when I am unable to go beyond this message? I am on a friends laptop trying to make some sense of what has happened. I did get an email some time ago about verifying my id but have not had time to look at this and now can't find it. I am completely stuck - can anyone help?

am update my iphone 3gs ios4.1 to ios 6.0.1 using itunes when update comleted itunes show a message Were sorry, we are unable to continue with your activation at this time. Please try again later, or contact customer care! pls help me pls
Generally this is a sign that the iPhone had previously been
hacked/modified/jailbroken and the update relocked it to the
original wireless carrier. If this is the case, only that wireless
carrier can unlock your iPhone. You must contact them to see
if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
Where did you acquire this iPhone?
What wireless carrier did you use before this problem?
Does the app Cydia appear on your iPhone?
What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>
About=>Carrier? -
My ITunes got corrupted and I kept getting a message when updating iTunes64msi missing so I uninstalled all files and I thought I removed all registry values but when reinstalling I get an older version is installed and cannot be removed. I need a solution.
(1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
(2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
(3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
(4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any Bonjour entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
(5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time? -
I have icloud on my Ipad and today it says icloud backup this ipad hasn't been backed up in weeks.Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in,locked, and connected to WiFi. Then OK, well, it will not let me OK it and or get on any of my icons. Like it is frozen. Nothing is on my screen (no icons) and it won't let me unlock it. I have cut it off, then back on and that didn't work. So, I need help.

On my iPad, if I deleted the iCloud account that I am signed in with, does it delete the entire account (even on other devices)? And would that also delete the apps on the iPad downloaded with that iClouds account?
They were initially setup with the smae Apple ID but when you delete the iCloud account from the phone you disassociate iCloud items on your phone.
If you want to rid the device of the Apple ID completely you will need to sign out in seceral places:
Settings > iCloud > Delete Account
Settings > Messages > Turn off iMessage
Setings > FaceTime > Turn off FaceTime
Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID > Sign out
Settings > Game Center > Apple ID > Sign out
Note: You can keep the iTunes & App Stores sign in to share purchases without any effect on anything else
You should consider getting your own Apple ID. -
HT1414 How do I restore from an earlier icloud backup that is not showing up for my ipad?
How do I restore from an earlier icloud backup that is not showing up for my ipad?
You can't. Usually you have only the most recent backup to choose from (I do). Some users has said they get 3 to choose from (this is the max as stated in Apple literature). You can't go back further than that.
The usual advice is that all photos should be synced to a computer (too many users have lost some/all their photos doing a restore - don't trust them solely to icloud). If you've been doing that, you can find them on your computer. -
HT4859 how do I restore deleted text messages from an iCloud backup?
I mistakenly deleted an important text conversation - swiping and deleting the wrong conversation. My iphone is backed up to icloud, but not on my conputer. Are there steps I can take to restore the deleted text messages from the icloud backup? If so what are they and where will I find the restored messages after the process? Any help would be very much appreciated.
Hi again - thank you very much for the feedback. It is actually a conversation over 3 days that is quite important so if I can recover it, I would like to.
As for the actual process, the most recent back up was prior to my deletion. Three last questions (I hope...):
1) How will I know what I need to redownload from itunes?
2) Is this link the best in terms of the literal steps to take to do the restore:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4859?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
3) Is there anything I should do to the phone before I begin the restore process?
Again, thank you for your time - very much appreciate the expert advice.
