"This iPhone hasn't been backed up." But iCloud backup isn't even enabled-
This message has been popping up sporadically for quite a while now, perhaps two months. It interferes even in the middle of making a purchase from the App Store.
But I don't use iCloud backup. I never have. The option for this is disabled in my phone's settings, and I couldn't even enable it if I wanted to - the toggle is greyed out and unresponsive. I back up to iTunes, and have done so for years.
Can someone advise me on removing this irritation? Telling me to simply perform a backup to iCloud will result in your post being reported.
Cheers.
Try signing out of iCloud completely. That message shouldn't pop up if you aren't signed into iCloud at all.
Unfortunately I can't, as this would disable the Find My iPhone feature. Or were you suggesting I disable iCloud only temporarily?

"This iPhone hasn’t been backed up in 2 weeks. Backups happen when this iPhone is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi."
I am get this message on my Ipad and have followed the instructions, connect the Ipad, lock the screen and connected to a Wi-Fi connection - however I have done this but I still get the message on the screen. It will not even let me press 'OK' - the screen is not responsive... I cannot access the OS. HelpReset your iPad to clear that condition:
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). -
I keep receiving a message on my Iphone 4s stating the following: "Iphone not backed up----This iphone hasn't been backed up. Backups happen when this Iphone is plugged in, locked and connected to a wi-fi." Is this a real message?
Yes. It's a real message.

"This iPhone hasn’t been backed up in 2 weeks. Backups happen when this iPhone is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi." what do I do?
You be sure the iphone is plugged in, locked and connected to wifi. Then a backup will be attempted. Or, you can manually do a backup inside...
Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, turn on iCloud backup and tap the Manual button. -
Screen alert, "This iPhone hasn’t been backed up in 2 weeks. Backups happen when this iPhone is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi." doesn't go away after tapping on "OK" button. Can't even switch iPad off.
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.

Cannot move past message that says iPad has not been backed up in 2 weeks by clicking ok. Trying to verify wi-fi connection
I am having the same issue with my iPhone since 12/1/12.
I have meanwhile changed routers to Apple Extreme plus been out of town and experienced various internet connections. Still get same message that my iphone has not been backed up since 12/1.
I have removed most of apps to sync as well. Zero results!
I have done manual back up in iTunes, and when I 'restore backup', the box shows the correct time for manual restore I just did. But the message still keeps popping up on my iphone that the phone has not been backed up. I get that same date - 12/1- displayed in ITunes as well.
I just did "Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then releasing" as you suggested and unfortunately, it still is showing 12/1- even though when I click 'Restore Backup" it shows the recent update.
Any more suggestions? Thanks!! -

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. -
Icloud will not run after upgrade to OS8, keep getting "this phone hasn't been backed up" message
I loaded OS8 on my 5c about five weeks ago. Since then, I have tried and tried to force a backup to icloud and fail every time. Phone does not auto backup either. I have an error message that says "This iphone hasn't been backed up in 5 weeks." I am connected to wifi. I also repeatedly get a popup asking for my apple id and password. When I enter the info, nothing happens. Anyone have an idea how to get icloud to work? BTW, I have plenty of space in icloud, According to settings, 4.2 GB still available out of my free 5 GB. Backup is turned on.

I have icloud on my Ipad and today it says icloud backup this ipad hasn't been backed up in weeks.Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in,locked, and connected to WiFi. Then OK, well, it will not let me OK it and or get on any of my icons. Like it is frozen. Nothing is on my screen (no icons) and it won't let me unlock it. I have cut it off, then back on and that didn't work. So, I need help.

Hi, can someone help please - my iPhone hasn't been backed up since early August, now I can't seem to get it to back up to iCloud. I have 9GB of space, I have left it plugged in etc for 11hrs, but keep getting the same message " iPhone backup could not be completed" -what dies that mean.?
Hi,
I was facing issues with both backup and FB integration after the iOs 6 upgrade. Before then I did not have any issues with the iCloud backup service, but after a few days, I noticed that it was continually stuck at the Estimating time for the backup and it never progressed.
As any good techie would, I tackled the most pressing issue first . . . FB integration of course.
I had read in a separate post about this solution so tried it . . .
I deleted the original FB app and hard booted the phone. I then went into settings and entered the data for FB integration. Seconds later, I received a text message to my phone - already listed and verified in FB with a 6 digit code to re-enter instead of my password. Seconds later I was verified and then prompted to download the FB app. All backup and integrated.
Then I went into the iCloud backup, turned it off . . . and deleted the last backup. I then re-enabled backup . . . and although I thought I was going to face the same issue, after a few minutes, it moved on from Estimating time . . . to actually backing up. It is now a small way through the backup and seems to estimate that it will take another two hours to complete.
A good nights work. Backup and integration all sewed up. Good luck.
Cheers

I have an IPad 2 and when I woke it up it gave me an error message on the desktop: "iCloud backup: This IPad hasn't been backed up in 3 weeks. Backups happen when this IPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi." I have done all of these and it still doesn't allow me to get rid of the error message. I even connected the IPad to the computer and attempted to back it up using the Web but it still doesn't get rid of the message. Help!
Reset your iPad to clear that condition:
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). -
My ipad is giving me the message "this ipad hasn't been backed up in 32 weeks..." but I cannot get the message to clear off the screen. When I plug the ipad into my computer to back it up the message still will not clear off the screen and I cannot acess anything on the ipad. I cannot even power it off.
