HI,
MY IPAD IS FROZEN, IT SAYS "THIS IPAD HASN'T BEEN BACKED UP IN 2 WEEKS. BACKUPS HAPPED WHEN THIS IPAD IS PLUGGED IN, LOCKED, AND CONNECTED TO WI-FI". IT WILL NOT LET ME POWER OFF AND SHUT DOWN. THANK YOU

Reset it by holding the power and home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then releasing. You won't lose any data by doing this.

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.

My iPad says, "iPad Not Backed Up." This iPad hasn't been backed up. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connect to WiFi." When I touch "OK," nothing happens. When I try to turn it off, this message remains, and I can't slide to power off. Right now, it is "frozen up" and useless.

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.

My ipad shows an error message saying, "Ipad not backed up. This ipad hasn't been backed up. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connceted to wifi." I press "ok" and then it pops up again asap.

Try a reset and see if the popup disappears after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

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.

Try a 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... (But can take Longer)... until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons

I have a new ipad. Having trouble making it work. when I try to open it, message pops up that says this ipad hasn't been backed up. backups happen when this ipad is plugged in (done), locked (think I did that) and connected to Wi-Fi. (How do I do that?)

Please read Chapter 2.
There have been some problems accessing pages on the Apple web site. If the hyperlink gives you a "We're sorry" message, try again.

HT1766 My iPad has a frozen message on the screen which says "This iPad hasn't been backed up. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged, etc." I have connected the iPad to a power source and the iPad charged but the message is still frozen on my device.

My iPad is frozen with the message that the iPad is not backed up. I thought that it automatically backed up when I plugged the device into a power source. I have done that but the machine will not even open.

Try giving it a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys for about 20 seconds or so until it reboots and see if that helps.

HT4557 My new Apple Mini IPad has a message box and is froze and will not let me click OK. The message: iPad Not Backed Up; This IPad hasn't been backed up. Backups happen when this IPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi.

My new Mini IPad is frozen with a message (IPad Not Backed Up) and does not respond when I touch OK. What must I do next? I cannot find the correct ITunes page to sync IPad to Computer ITunes.

Try this now.
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.

HT4137 Just received a new iPad 3 & it is locked up. The only message I get is: iPad not backed up. This iPad hasn't been backed up. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked & connected to Wi-Fi. The iPad is locked up & can only turn it off.

Have I received a new iPad from the distributor? How can I unlock the iPad?

Keep the Powerbutton and the Homebutton pressed at the same time until you see the Apple logo on your iPad screen.
Then try to connect with your computer and iTunes; http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

HT1766 When I turn on my iPad am confronted with the message "iPad Not Backed Up. This iPad hasn't beern backed up. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked and connected to Wi-Fi." How does one proceed from this message?

How do I overcome this impasse?

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 get this message on my iPad (This iPad hasn't been bachup two weeks, backups happened when this iPad is plugged in, locked and connected to Wi - Fi)

I believe this is a message you get when iCloud Backups are enabled. To stop getting the message you can either do what it says to allow it to back up or turn off iCloud backup under Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup.

My newly bought i pad is not letting me doing anything. it is saying 'this ipad hasn't been backed up. backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected to wifi'. i have tried to powered off by pressing the top right hand button

my newly bought i pad 4(4gs), ratina display, is not letting me doing anything. it is saying 'this ipad hasn't been backed up. backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected to wifi'. i have tried to powered off by pressing the top right hand button till the red slide comes up. but it is not sliding to the right. could anyone help me out??

Locked, refers to the device being plugged in with "slide to unlock" being displayed on the screen. To recap - your device will automatically back up to icloud when it is connected to power, the screen is locked, and it is connected to a wifi network.
-Wifi is required to limit impact on your data plan.
-Power is to ensure the device has sufficient power to perform the backup.
-Screen lock - to make sure the device is not in use - which could slow or stop the backup.
The initial backup may take some time. Plug it in to the wall before bed, and make sure it is connected to your wifi network. The backup SHOULD be completed when you wake up in the morning.
Hope this helps.

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
3. turn screen off
go to settings>icloud>storage and backup>backup now.
