IPAD stuck on ipad not backed up message

A friends new IPAD is stuck on the following message;
iPad not backed up/ this IPAD hasn't been backed up./backups happen when this IPAD is plugged in, locked, and connected to WiFi.
When I tap OK, nothing happens. The iPad is charged and on WiFi. There is no computer to plug it into for backing up. I cannot turn it off. The same message appears on the "slide to power off" screen.

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.

How do i get rid of the "iPad Not Backed Up" message?

How do I get rid of the "iPad Not Backed Up" message? A week ago this happened, I searched for help, I was told to reboot and the message would go away. It worked...for awhile. The message is back, but now I cannot even reboot/reset the ipad. The message blocks me and prevents me from using the "slide to power off".

I'm not totally sure why the screen locks up like that, but it seems to happen to a number of users. I see that question being asked several time a day.
My advice would be to backup regularly with iCloud so that the message does not appear. If you are already doing so, I can only assume that it is some low memory bug that is causing it, and that is merely a guess.

IPad not backed up message

I have a message that says iPad not backed and appears to be frozen.
But it won't let me reboot either. It's been plugged in for hours?

Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

IPad Not Backed Up message - Help!

When I truned on my iPad Mini this morning the following message awaited me, iPad Not Backed Up. This iPas hasn't been backed up. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi.
I have plugged it in, allowed the screen to be locked, and it is connected to the Wi-Fi. I am unable to slide the unlock tab and clicking the OK button in the message does nothing. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get my iPad working again?

Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.

IPad displays "iPad not backed up" message; unable to do anything, even turn off

I bought my husband an iPad mini 2 weeks ago. It currently displays a message screen saying "iPad No Backed Up-This iPad hasn't been back up. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked and connected to Wi-Fi." We've done all that...still not working. Can't even turn it off. Has anyone ever had this issue?

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.

message appearing on ipad- ipad not backed up- how do i back up

If the message is stuck on the screen then a soft-reset should clear it : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
You can then backup to the cloud via Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Back Up Now

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?

HT4557 My new Apple Mini IPad has a message box and is froze and will not let me click OK. The message: iPad Not Backed Up; This IPad hasn't been backed up. Backups happen when this IPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi.

My new Mini IPad is frozen with a message (IPad Not Backed Up) and does not respond when I touch OK. What must I do next? I cannot find the correct ITunes page to sync IPad to Computer ITunes.

Try this now.
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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons.

I am getting a message "iPad Not Backed Up" but when I click on "ok", nothing happens. Can't turn it off either because of the lock.

I am getting a message "iPad Not Backed Up". When I click on "ok" on the message, nothing happens - it is locked. Thought turning off the iPad would help but because it is locked, it won't let me slide to power off.

Have you tried plugging the iPad into power and letting it backup over Wi-Fi?
You should be able to reset your iPad.
