Icloud backup dialog box will not allow me to unlock?

I can't unlock my iPad the icloud backup dialog box will not go away

The suggested solution is only for the symptom. There is a bug in iOS.
My situation is much worse. My 80 year old Mother in-law bought a 4G iPad to keep in contact with her son overseas. Her retirement village has no WiFi so it it not possible to backup her iPad. The "This iPad has never been backed up" modal dialog locks up the machine. She is currently in hospital (doing well thankfully) but could have died and not been able to see her son because of this. It has caused her no end of grief over the last month.
I've worked around the problem by using my WiFi but this is a fatal flaw that needs to be urgently addressed.

How do I get icloud backup dialog box to disappear off my iPad?

My ipad is showing a dialog box on my home screen that says that it has not been backed up to icloud in 3 weeks and that I need to be locked and connected to WIFI to back up. There is a OK button that I continue to press but the box won't go away or let me do anything else. It's frozen. I have shut the ipad downa and also completely recharged. Nothing is working to get it unfrozen. Please help.

Reset iPad

TS3991 iCloud Backup message box blocked the iPad to open

iCloud Backup box blocked the iPad to be opened. It has this message: This iPad hasn't been backed up in 2 weeks. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi". I have it connected to Wi-Fi and to PC, but it still blocks the iPad. Please help to troubleshoot.

For a "hard" restart of your iPad just press the home and power button at the same time and hold it for at least 10-15 sec. until it restarts.

HT1766 icloud backup screen is frozen on ipad and I can't slide to open. What do I do?

icloud backup screen is frozen on ipad, and I can't slide to open. All locked up!

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.

HT1766 iCloud backup box locked up iPad. I push ok but nothing happens. Box just stays there?

ICloud Backup box appears in middle of screen saying, "This iPad hasn't been backed up in 3 weeks. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi. When I click the "OK", it changes colors like it's working, but nothing happens. So my iPad is locked up. It's plugged in, locked and connected to Wi-Fi like the box said. I can't unlock or turn off. The sliders won't move because of the box in the middle.

Have you tried resetting your iPad?
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

What do you do when your iPad freezes up. The message "iCloud Backup appears and reads "This iPad hasn't been backed uo in 6 weeks. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked and connected to Wi-Fi." Each night I plug my iPad in to recharge.

What do yoou do when your iPad freezes up. My iPad is plugged in each night and is connected to Wi-Fi. This morning the following message appears:
iCloud Backup
"This iPad hasn't been backed up in 6 weeks. Backups happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi."
I press OK and it does not budge. I try to power off. The red arrow appears but it does not slide to power off. The iPad has simply frozen on the home page.

Try resetting 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.

Can someone at Apple explain why when resetting iOS devices the documents from iWork simply disappear from the iCloud backup? After resetting my iPad, icloud deleted my documents!

I did backup my documents in icloud, I checked in www.icloud.com and they were there, and I was thinking that I was safe to reset my iPad now and restore from the icloud backup, but when I'm setting up my iPad again......... BOOM! where are the Pages documents? They are not in my iPad (since I just wiped the iPad) and not anymore on icloud.

Have you guys resolved this issue? I started having the same problem after updating to iOS 7. Keynote and Pages does not save to iCloud. The little arrow on the upper right hand corner never goes away. I create a document on iPad and it doesn't show up on my iPhone or vice versa. Please help!
