Have you tried resetting your iPad?
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds).

Ipad is frozen . Message: iCloud backup -This Ipad has not been backed up in 2 weeks. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to WIFI. no icons respond ????? cannot fix ? suggestions
Try this.
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. Let the iPad start up. -
I have an iPad Mini which after charging has now frozen with the iCloud Backup text box in the middle of the screen and OK 'button' registers when tapped but remain locked with nothing operating. It is fully charged.
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.

My ipad screen is frozen, with the icloud backup message (this ipad hasn't been backed up for 2 weeks ect)
Holding both worked for me as well. The problem occurred immediately after going back to the Apple store. Just purchased the ipad2 and the next day the view account button on data settings disappeared. They had to upload latest update and that resored it. The next day icloud froze the screen. Hopefully this fixes it.

I have cut it off, then back on and that didn't work. So, I need help.

Hold Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds until the device restarts, so you will be able to use the iPad again -
When I turn on my iPad I get this message: "iCloud Backup - This iPad hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi." It has rendered my iPad useless as I cannot even unlock it, and it shuts down within a few seconds of turning it on. Is there any way to clear this?
Try this now.

IPad 3 has a message iCloud Backup. When I hit OK it won't release message
Have an IPad 3 with a message reminder that ICloud Backup. I tap OK but it won't go away. Which means I can't get into the IPad until that message goes away. How do I get rid of this message?

IPad fails to restore from iCloud backup files.
My iPad 3 would display Time Remaining from say 20 minutes, 19 minutes, ....., 2 minutes, then ramp up to 3 minutes, 4 minutes, ...., say 19 minutes (sometime to about an hour), then display a dialogue ‘Cannot Restore Backup’.
I have tried many times with my 3 different iCloud backup files.
The background why I needed to restore from iCloud was that I could not restart my iPad after a power off.
Before I powered off, I have as many as about 1,555 apps.
Not sure if this is the reason why I could not restart after power off and restore from iCloud as described above.
Did anyone come across similar symptoms and had fixed and been able to restore from iCloud?
Is Apple going to fix this in next minor iOS 6 version update or iOS 7?
Thanks.Your iPad backups are stored in the folder
~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your Home folder, option-click the Go menu. Or, just copy the above line completely and paste it in the Finder's Go > Go to Folder... field.
Quit iTunes if it is open. Navigate to that folder then "Enter Time Machine". The Backup folder will be highlighted. Go back in time and select the one you want. Restore it. Then, you can open iTunes and restore your iPad from backup. -
