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.
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.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

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.

TS3992 I have a pre paid Wi Fi with telstra for 12 months and yet I get the message of this I pad has not been backed up I have no idea how to back it up can you help. I have the same problem with my I phone withTelstra please tell me how to back them up

Hi I have an I pad 64 gig and internal wifi bought about 2 months ago. it keeps coming up with a message "this i pad has not been backed up" I have no idea how to do it can you help.
I also have an I phone 4s with the same message both are with telstra the I pad has a 12 month pre paid wifi contract and the phone is on a monthly contract.

Sounds like you actually paying for cellular service and you really need to be on wifi to backup your ipad/iphone.
Normally you have to be connected to wifi and you can do manual backup by going to Settings- icloud- storage and backup and pressing backup now button. Start with your ipad, usually size of the backup smaller and return here if you encounter a problem.

I can't access my dial pad to make calls. The last few days when I go to the phone a pop up appears that says "unfortunatly contacts has stopped working" after pressing ok to remove the pop up, it goes back to the home screen. This also happens when I

The last several days I have not been able to access the dial pad. When I go to phone a pop up appears that says "unfortunatly contacts has stopped working." To remove the pop up you have to hit 'ok', the it goes back to the home screen. This also happens when I go to contacts.

You migh give resetting your NVRAM a try:

Hold Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds until your iPad restarts, so you will be able to use the iPad again. Finally, open Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup to make a manual backup

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.
