My ipad is locked up with an icloud backup text box asking me to ignore or choose setup. It won't respond to anything.

Does anyone know how to make the little text box in the middle of the screen go away. I have tried "ignore" and "setup" - nothing. I have also tried shutting it off, touching other icons - nothing is working.

Try a reset.
reset iPad. Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

HT1766 Please help. My ipad has locked up with Blue "icloud Backup" box permanently on display. Unable to reset. any ideas?

The blue icloud backup notification box has "frozen" my iPad screen. I am unable to clear it. I am currently trying to run down the battery 0% to see if it will automatically reset this way. Are there any other ideas?

A reset should help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off button for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. Release both buttons and await restart.

My ipad screen is frozen,with the icloud backup message (This ipad hasn't been backed up in 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.

TS3274 iPad is locked up with an iCloud message saying this iPad has not been backed up in 4 weeks. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to wi-fi. Can't get around this message.

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.

If you are unable to cancel or power down, try resetting:
Hold the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.

Punctuation would make your post a little easier to read and understand.
What do you mean it won't hook up to iTunes? you mean iTunes does not recognize the device? If that's what you mean, one of these might be helpful.
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X

Thank you for trying to help. I followed your instructions, it took 6 hours to download, and then said it could not solve the problem (something to do with error 9?). It will have to go back to Apple - its only 3 days since it came out of the package and its very disappointing for him. Looks like I have to hang around in the Apple store in Plymouth all tomorrow until they can fix it, or will change it. Thanks for your help.

Same situation. Had to pull out the Mini to research this. The Apple logo has been on the screen about five min, oh, just went black. Home brought it back and popup is gone. Wonder why this happened to many folks.

I deleted some videos from my iPad mini. Can I restore them with my icloud backup

Please help. I deleted some videos I need. If i reset my iPad mini will I be able to restore with my icloud backup.

If they were in your camera roll when you last backed up, restoring the backup should recover them. The backup will, of course, overwrite any newer data on your iPad so if you want to keep it you'll need to save it before restoring the backup.

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