My iPad 2 message: "hasn't been backed up...Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to WiFi." Duh...all done, iPad still locked. Can't do a thing...Please advise.
My iPad 2 is frozen. Error message "...hasn't been backed up...Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to WiFi." I've got it plugged in, backed up all data using iCloud but can't turn on WiFi BECAUSE iPad is frozen. Any ideas?
1. Try doing a hard reset:
Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.

my newly bought i pad 4(4gs), ratina display, is not letting me doing anything. it is saying 'this ipad hasn't been backed up. backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected to wifi'. i have tried to powered off by pressing the top right hand button till the red slide comes up. but it is not sliding to the right. could anyone help me out??
Locked, refers to the device being plugged in with "slide to unlock" being displayed on the screen. To recap - your device will automatically back up to icloud when it is connected to power, the screen is locked, and it is connected to a wifi network.
-Wifi is required to limit impact on your data plan.
-Power is to ensure the device has sufficient power to perform the backup.
-Screen lock - to make sure the device is not in use - which could slow or stop the backup.
The initial backup may take some time. Plug it in to the wall before bed, and make sure it is connected to your wifi network. The backup SHOULD be completed when you wake up in the morning.
Hope this helps. -
The Ipad came up with a notification, and can't get out of it. It's saying: 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. When I press OK it can't continue. Please REPLY
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.

i can't use my ipad because of thi error:"ipad not backed up,this ipad hasn't backed up.backups happen when this ipad is plugged in,locked,and connected to Wi-Fi." what i am suppose to do?
Did you already try to reset the iPad by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again?
You will not lose data doing a reset, but it can clear some glitches. -
Ipad locked up as it hasnt backed up. can't reboot or anything to get in and back up
Go to Settings, iCloud, and then Storage and Backup. You will then see a button to backup your iPad. It may be that you have much stuff (i.e. photos, apps) for it to do a full backup but you will be able to tell what the estimated backup should be and what it will consist of so that you can choose to prune down items. If you don't want to backup and get rid of the messages you can just turn backup off from this area as well.

Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). -

I keep receiving a message on my Iphone 4s stating the following: "Iphone not backed up----This iphone hasn't been backed up. Backups happen when this Iphone is plugged in, locked and connected to a wi-fi." Is this a real message?
Yes. It's a real message.

Screen alert, "This iPhone hasn’t been backed up in 2 weeks. Backups happen when this iPhone is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi." doesn't go away after tapping on "OK" button. Can't even switch iPad off.
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.

"This iPhone hasn’t been backed up in 2 weeks. Backups happen when this iPhone is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi." what do I do?
You be sure the iphone is plugged in, locked and connected to wifi. Then a backup will be attempted. Or, you can manually do a backup inside...
Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, turn on iCloud backup and tap the Manual button. -

Cannot move past message that says iPad has not been backed up in 2 weeks by clicking ok. Trying to verify wi-fi connection
I am having the same issue with my iPhone since 12/1/12.
I have meanwhile changed routers to Apple Extreme plus been out of town and experienced various internet connections. Still get same message that my iphone has not been backed up since 12/1.
I have removed most of apps to sync as well. Zero results!
I have done manual back up in iTunes, and when I 'restore backup', the box shows the correct time for manual restore I just did. But the message still keeps popping up on my iphone that the phone has not been backed up. I get that same date - 12/1- displayed in ITunes as well.
I just did "Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then releasing" as you suggested and unfortunately, it still is showing 12/1- even though when I click 'Restore Backup" it shows the recent update.
Any more suggestions? Thanks!! -

Welcome to the Apple Community.
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. -
I have a message on my ipad saying ipad is not backed up. back ups happen when this i pad is plugged in locked and connected to wi-fi. cant get on ipad and dont know what to do as i am new to ipad. can someone help?
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Hold both Power and Home buttons for 10 seconds until your device restarts, so you will be able to use it again.
The Power button is the one that you use to put your iPad in sleep mode (at the top of the iPad), and the Home button is at the bottom of the screen -
