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,
I am getting a warning message on screen, saying that myiPad hasn't been backed up to iCloud for two weeks, and advising under what circumstances the message appears. My problem is, is that I have backed it up, but am unable to remove the message, and whilst the message is there, the iPad is frozen, and I cannot do anything.
Has any other user had such a problem, and if so, how did they rectify it.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
clarinet99Try 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up -
I charged my Ipad last night and this morning there was a message from icloud that it has not been backed up for two weeks. I tried to click the ok but it will not respond. I cannot even power off the Ipad. Does anyone know what I should do?
A reset should help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons and await restart. No content will be affected.

I do not know how to back up my ipad to icloud. How do you do it
Use iTunes. If you connect to your computer, open iTunes, select your device, then check the box to backup to either iCloud or your computer. Then either click Backup Now button or sync with iTunes.

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.

I keep getting messages that my icould storage space is almost at capacity. Turns out ALL of the apps on my phone and ipad are being backed up. If I turn some of them off, will I loose those apps if I get a new phone? Thanks for your help!
Any purchased apps can be re-downloaded from iTunes at any time.

Apple Support does not seem to be available here in Mexico...given phone numbers don´´t work. No local Apple Store. Meanwhile my IPad refuses to open, even allow me to connect to WiFi until I update my ICloud...which can´t be done till I´m connected to WiFi...chicken and egg story.

How do i fix my phone?
Itis trying to make me hook up to a Wi-Fi network and wont take me anywhere other than that and emergency call. I tried to restore it but I can't because I have find my phone on.I found this article some time ago when I was trying to help someone else in this same situation. This is a copy and paste from the website. The website is provided below for you to read before you try this.
Plug your phone into iTunes
Click setup as a new device
Immediately unplug your phone from the computer
Give it about 30 seconds and iTunes will give a message (I don’t remember the specific, but regarding you unplugging the device and it not completing)
Plug your phone back in
Viola! no restore occurred and you can access everything again
This computer has previously synced with an iPhone or another iOS device. -
I don't understand how I can view my backups.
Please help! I have lost soooo much from my phone and
I want to see what I have stored on iCloud. How the heck do
I do it? Lol It's literally driving me crazy!It isn't possible to see the individual files included in your backups if that's what you mean. You can only see what you have elected to include in the backup (in Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage...tap your device under Backups, then look under Backup Options), but not to see the actual data.
The backup will include (from http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12519):
Photos and videos in your Camera Roll
Device settings
App data
Home screen and app organization
iMessage, text (SMS), and MMS messages
Ringtones
Visual Voicemail -
My screen has an icloud backup request. It tells me it has not been backed up for 2 weeks. It says backups happen when when i pad is plugged in, locked and connected to wi-fi. I have done this but nothing happens. If I press on OK nothing happens. If I use the slider etc nothing happens. Screen frozen. Holding the main button down does nothing even doing reset! Any ideas!!!!??
Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo. -
I have been away for 2 weeks and a message appears on my iPad which is preventing me open my iPad. "iCloud backup. This iPad has not been backed up in 2 weeks. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked and connected to Wi-Fi" Help?
What do I do to get rid of this message as it is preventing me accessing the iPad or closing it down?
Thanks

Hold Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds until your device restarts, so you will be able to use your device again. Finally, open Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, and make a backup. The device will be backed up when it's plugged to the charger and connected to your network -
I usually have iCloud backup but I got a notification that my phone has not backed up for the last two weeks, and It wont let me do it manually.There is also still enough storage space. Why did it all of a sudden stop backing up?
The HT1766 article you attached lists the prerequisites for an iCloud backup:
iCloud automatically backs up the most important data on your device using iOS 5 or later. After you have enabled Backup on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in Settings > iCloud > Backup & Storage, it will run on a daily basis as long as your device is:
Connected to the Internet over Wi-Fi
Connected to a power source
Screen locked
You can also back up manually whenever your device is connected to the Internet over Wi-Fi by choosing Back Up Now from Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup. -
Just got on my Ipad and it says it has not been backed up for 4 weeks. It will not let me turn it off, unlock it, and when I press OK it does nothing.
