Ipad not backed up

Hi! I just bought an ipad 4th gen, suddenly it freezes and says the ipad hasn't been backed up yet. what does it mean and what do I do? please help. thanks.

This has been reported a few times. It is typically solved by performing a reset. This is done by holding both the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen. At this point, release the buttons and let the iPad reboot. No data will be lost during this process.

My Ipad is frozen with message on screen: "iPad Not Backed Up". I cannot shut down or swipe the screen to continue. I had just updated the software last week to iOS 6.1. Has anyone encountered this problem?

My ipad shows "ipad not backed up" I don't know what to do

my Ipad shows "Ipad Not Backed Up"

Thank you so much!
I didn't think the first page would help me because I could still add, delete and edit my bookmarks, then restart the browser and it would've saved the changes. Also, I didn't think the second page would help me because my browser didn't have any of the symptoms listed. The problem I had wasn't with adding, deleting, or editing the bookmarks. I simply couldn't organize my bookmarks in a certain folder because the bookmarks would jump around when I tried to move them. However, I looked down the second link's page and found a section titled "Problems limited to bookmarks". I did what the first sentence told me to and it allowed me to FINALLY organize that folder!
Thanks again!

Since updating my iPad 2 to IOS6 and activating my icloud for backup, my iPad has permanently locked. Message on screen is "iPad Not Backed Up". I click ok but no response. Cannot turn power off and cannot restore via my pc itunes. What are my options?

Thanks to everyone who responded and related subject helped. Holding the home button and power button simultaneously for 10-15 seconds does unlock the screen. I can now use my ipad again. However, a futher problem has arisen since updating to IOS6 and activating icloud at same time, Although not sure if its related. The problem is that when connected to my PC the itunes message appears 'Cannot read ipad'. It instructs you to restore but keeps timing out after about 1 hour. This maybe internet issue but can't understand why itunes cannot read my ipad. May need to completely erase all content & reset. Or any other suggestions why this has happened?

HT1766 Ipad not backed up , whats mean?

When I turn on my Ipad, it shows
Ipad not backed up ,and freeze.
What should I do or bring to Apple store?

Have you tried a 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.
If that work you can then do a backup (Settings > iCloud)
