My iPad screen is stuck on an alert message telling me that I have not backed up to iCloud in 5 weeks. How do I get pass this alert message?
My iPad screen is stuck on an alert message that is informing me that I have not backed up to iCloud in 5 weeks. How do I get pass this alert message.
I have been dealing with this problem since upgrading to ios 6. I have an old ipod touch that is still running ios 5.? that backs up daily with no problem whatsoever. I have attemped every solution posted on these help boards (i.e. deleting accounts, turning off all apps from back-up, restarting device, changing routers, attempting back-ups through different wifi spots) sometimes one or a combination of these band-aid fixes will work for a day or two, then suddenly the ipad (version 3) will simply stop backing up, and I will spend hours of frustration going through all the tedious fixes. All the while my old ipod touch running ios 5 backs up daily with no problem whatsoever. I have called Apple support and they seemed surprised that this is a problem and offer no real solution whatsoever.
Until Apple gets their head out of the sand on this one, and actually fixes the obvious bug that exists is ios 6 this problem will continue and will not be resolved.

My ipad mini is stock on icloud backup and i cannot even power it off. The message says "the ipad hasn't backed up in two weeks. Backup happens when ipad is plugged in". But nothing happpend when I plug it into power or the laptop.
See if this helps.
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. -
IPad has not backed up to iCloud in 8 weeks - How do I move away from this notice?
The iPad has a message titled "iCloud Backup" that states: "This iPad hasn't been backed up in 8 weeks. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi". However, I cannot click the OK to navigate away. I cannot turn the iPad off or do anything, because this pop up. I can see a message below this notice that advised to go to Settings and make changes, but I cannot get to Settings because the popup will not go away when clicking OK.

I keep getting error message on iPad that it has not backed up to iCloud.
To get rid of the message and use your iPad normally again:
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally. -

My Apple TV is stuck telling me to plug it in when I downloaded the new software. How do I get past this? I do not have the cable the diagram is asking for.
If you can't get to the menu options, then unfortunately the only option is to purchase a micro-USB cable and connect it to iTunes to restore your Apple TV: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4367

My iPad is frozen with an info window stating that the iPad has not been backed up to iCloud in 2 weeks (which is wrong). The info window has an OK button, but clicking on it does nothing...cannot power off the iPad either...and the voice prompt has been useless...just keeps wnating to search the web.
Thanx for the solution !!! I got the same message today and was so upset!! But ur post helped and made me smile .

The Message is displayed on my iPad's screen saying:
"iPad has not been backed up to iCloud for more than 2 weeks; backup happens when connected tp WiFi and iPad is locked and plugged in".
I cannot get rid of the message, I cannot unlock the iPad to do anything...it is fully charged, but I don't know what to do to get rid of the message display - it is "stuck" like this! HELP!!SORRY! You had actually answered the other question, so all's well in my world.
I even answered re: my own post on the other thread (DUH!) - I hope that's not a problem...
The instructions were easy to follow, and everything is working just fine. (I didn't know about holding down the 2 buttons simultaneously to get it back to the Apple on the screen. I don't think my old iPad did that - maybe I just didn't have an occasion to need it! (My 1st iPad was the ORIGINAL iPad. I'm SO happy to have the "newest" iPad with Facetime, etc. SUCH a wonderful toy! SO much easier to carry than my MacBook Pro! I'm a happy camper, randers4. :-) -
I changed over from an iPad 2 to iPad Air through the use of iCloud. My Facebook app is listed on my settings page as if the app exists but their is no icon to tap to enter the app. It will not allow me to delete it off the settings page but I can also not reload it from the App store because it believes I alread have the app. How do i get it back?
Either you have not rebooted your device since downloading the app, as many apps now need a reboot before showing up on home screen, or you have too many apps that the Facebook app has been pushed off the screen because you are only allowed 10 pages of apps and games. If this is the case, move a bunch of apps into folders and restart your device and the apps that were pushed off the screen will appear in the newly created space.
But for now, you can use the search tool to open the app, if running iOS 7 simply swipe downwards and type Facebook in the search bar, if you are running iOS 6 or lower, you must keep swiping right until you are at the front page, and you will see a search bar. -
my ipad will not let me open the screen to do anything due to an icloud back up message saying that the ipad has not been backed up in 2 weeks.
When i tap ok nothing happens i cannot slide to unlock the screen to connect to the internet or for anyother function.
Please any help will be welcomedHey herbthewelder,
I'd give these troubleshooting steps a try, they're for when your iPad appears frozen or unresponsive:
If the device is unresponsive or certain controls aren't working as expected, try restarting
To turn off the device, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
Slide your finger across the slider to turn off the device.
To turn on the device, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), try resetting
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds.

When I turn on my ipad I get a message that says that I have not backed to the cloud in ywo weeks. I connected it to the computer and it has access to wifi, byt it won't do anything and I can't use it.
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. You can then do a backup

I have the iPhone 5 and with the new sofware update it added a passcode lock. Same for the iPad. I removed the passcode lock from my iPhone and now I can access my iPad. It is still asking for the four digit passcode. I tried using the one that was orgingally programed and it disables it every time. How can I get past this? I have tried to do a restore and it still takes me back to the lock screen. Please help!

My iPad screen is stuck. I haven't had the iPad very long. Is this common and how do I fix it? Is there a reset button?
Try the following:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPad: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. Place the iPad in Recovery Mode if necessary to allow the restore
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- If you can't turn the iPod fully off, then let the battery fully drain. After charging for at least an your repeat the above.
If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order
