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.

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. This message is on the front of my ipad and it won't go away no matter what I do therefore the ipad cannot be used.

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

IPad won't backup. It keeps getting stuck

My iPad won't backup on iTunes on my computer. It used to work fine then one day it stopped. It starts backing up and it barely does anything then it freezes. The bar won't move any more, even if I leave it for like an hour. iTunes still goes to different pages, but it won't backup anymore. Then when I cancel the backup, my iPad stops doing it but the iTunes backup bar stays there and iTunes won't close unless I restart my computer. I do have the latest version of iTunes.
What should I do? I can't just NOT back it up.

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?

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.

My Ipad backup error does not respond to "cancel" and it won't go beyond the error message.

My Ipad is frozen and won't start because the backup to the i-cloud has not succeeded in 5 weeks. I was traveling and didn't have wireless access. Now I have access but it doesn't respond to the "cancel" and it won't go beyond the error message. I am in a new location so a new WiFi information needs to be entered in order for the iCloud to work. Need to know how to bypass the message and log-on.
The exact message is:
iCloud Backup
This iPad hasn't been backed up in 5 weeks. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to WiFi. "OK"

Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

I have the iCloud backup screen up and it won't let me do anything. It's stuck and I can't shut the ipad down or use the screen at all.

The iCloud back up screen it on my ipad. It won't let me do anything, turn it down or use any of the screen. I have even tried to force shut it down but it won't let me use the screen at all. I plugged it into my main computer to do a backup and it's still stuck.

It's rude not to share your solution and then mark your answer as correct so that it may help others. So in case anybody else reads 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 - let go of the buttons.
That will get you out of that backup screen. There is a reason that screens shows up. You haven't backed up your iPad! Make sure you backup regularly!

Ipad was erased. Now apps won't reload from backup, but show in the app window. They do't sync even when drag and drop is used.

The iPad was lost but returned. In the interim, I sent an "erase" command to the iPad. When I got it back , all info was erased when turned on. I used my backup and restored it, but the applications will not install. I have tried clicking "install". I subsequently tried the drag and drop method. Each time I "apply" the changes, It will sync, but nothing happens as far as applications being installed.
thanks.

Having the same issue. I got the iPad air and loaded apps from my phone but netflix didn't show up and won't open from the App Store

Message about iCloud backup and it won't clear. It also won't allow me to do anything else. iPad. It is plugged in and now locked, the slides for getting in and the power off don't work, but the message stays. I have hit ok numerous times.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try restarting the iPad and seeing if that helps.
If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
