"This iPhone hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks. Backups happen when this iPhone is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi."

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!!

Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds or so and see if it reboots.

A box saying 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 box will not go away and so I can't use the iPad at all?

press and hold top power button and home button in front for 6-8 seconds until you see an apple, for it to reset.
and make sure your initiating an icloud backup or it will come up again.
1. be connected to wi fi
2. be plugged in to power source

go to settings>icloud>storage and backup>backup now.

HT1766 My ipad won't open anything. Message: This ipad hasn't been backed up in two weeks.Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected to wi-fi.

My ipad won't open anything. I get the message: This ipad hasn't been backed up in two weeks. Backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected to wifi. This device has beern plugged in and has 62% power. I can't access any buttons including the ok under the icloud backup 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.

TS3992 this iphone hasn't been backed up in 4 weeks. backups happen when this iphone is plugged in, locked and connected to Wi-Fi

i can't enter my iphone. please help me!

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.

Hi, my My ipad has a message'this ipad hasn't been backed up in 4 weeks. backup happens when this ipad is plugged in, locked and connected to wifi' what do I do as I can't get it to do anything, won't let me swipe in. This message remains on the screen.

Hi, I have a problem with my ipad, it has this message on the screen and will not allow me to do anything at all not even swipe to open. It's very frustrating to say the least, can anyone help me with step by step instructions.

Not backing up should not restrict you from using the iPad (if it did, there would be a lot of people in trouble)
Try restarting the iPad, holding both the home and power button down until you see the Apple Logo and then try to log in.

TS4036 HELP!! My iPad has a message box that reads "iCloud Backup: This iPad hasn't been backed up in six weeks.Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked,and conncected to Wi-Fi". It has an OK button, but when I press it, it won't clear off!

My ipad is "stuck on the above mentioned message! I hit ok, but nothing happens!! I can even turn it off... or use it!!!! What do I need to do????

You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
Try again to see if the problem persists.

- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at

That means that your backups are done to iCloud overnight. The phone must be left plugged in and wifi turned on.
If you are shutting your phone off at night - this is the reason for backups not being done.

TS4036 Error Message: This iPad hs not been backed up for 3 weeks. Backups happen when the iPad is plugged in, locked and connected to Wi-Fi.

How do I clear up this Issue? Error Message: This iPad hs not been backed up for 3 weeks. Backups happen when the iPad is plugged in, locked and connected to Wi-Fi.
I plugged it in and it is charging now. It will not allow me to unlock it and when I push the 'ok' button for the error message, it still appears....will not go away.
Do I just allow it to charge and it will automatically backup itself? If not, what do I do?

Hold the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release. This will restart the phone and give you access again.
To troubleshoot your iCloud backup, try deleting your last backup by turning off iCloud Backup in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup, then tap Manage Storage, swipe across your backup and tap Delete, then go back and turn iCloud Backup back on again. If it still won't back up, you may have an app that is preventing the backup from succeeding. To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again. If it succeeds, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is preventing the backup and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again. If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again. If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails. Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.
