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.

HT4623 my IPad mini has frozen with the message under ICloud Backup Window saying this iPad hasen't been backed up in two weeks. I have synced it under iTunes. What more is needed?

IPad mini has frozen with ICloudBackup window showing and msg "This iPad hasn't been backed up in two weeks. Backup happen when this iPad is plugged in, locked,, and connected to WiFi.
I have synced it with iTunes while computer is connected to internet. What more do I need to do.I can't get rid of this window by hitting OK
Ther display shows the correct time, but I cannot "slide to unlock".

Try this now. Reboot your iPad.
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 have a i phone 5 that we are getting a message not enough storage this Iphone cannot be backed up beacause there is not enough Icloud storage available. But we cannot go to settings or close out the message . i cannot power off the phone or anthing. How do i clear this off the phone.

First, press and hold the home and power buttons until the Apple icon appears.
The problem could be that you don't have enough storage on the device itself, not on iCloud. Go to Settings>General>Usage to see how much "Storage" you have available on the device. Farther down the list is the available storage on iCloud.
Also check:
Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage; there, tap the device you need info on and the resulting screen lists Backup Options with which apps store data on iCloud as well. Tap Show All Apps to get the complete list of apps and MB used for backup storage.
A device needs many MB of storage in order to perform a backup to iCloud.

HT204022 This iphone cannot be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available. Can you help up delete some of our pictures that are backed up so that we can continue to back up the phone?

This iphone cannot be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage. Can you help me take the pictures off the icloud since I backed them up on my pc and would like to continue to use the storage in icloud to back up with.

you are correct. We are not understanding each other. I am attempting to provide a model for good habits for the OP. You have provided only a short term brief intervention which leaves a gaping hole for data to get lost in.
At no point did I say that merely backing up the device without saving the camera roll pictures would delete them. Please stop inferring what you think I mean, you are confusing the issue. I said that doing so was SETTING UP the OP for data loss. This behavior encourages the OP to simply shut off their backup for their pictures. At no point did you instruct the OP to delete the old pictures from the device. The set up part is this... if they simply turn off the camera roll backup, and aren't implementing some form of management for the pictures on the device, then the pictures are only being actually saved, in a "permanent" manner when the OP backs up to itunes. That's all fine and good, but this also presumes that the OP will always do so on a regular basis, will never forget to do so even when there are a ton of new, very important pics to worry about.
My suggestion allows the OP to continue to use the automatic backup feature the way it was intended...automatically...for the information that has not yet been saved to the user's computer. The whole point here is that the OP can keep their pics AND still benefit from automatic backups without disabling the cameral roll from being backed up into the icloud.
Should this poster have walked into my fruit themed store, I would recommend that the OP do the following:
1. back up the pics to the computer (done)
2. REMOVE THE BACKED UP PICS FROM THE PHONE
3. Learn about and utilize PHOTOSTREAM (including its limitations like no videos, only 1000 pics and only for 30 days) to make backing up and saving the photos from the phone easy and simple
4. Explain how backup works and what it backs up
5. Reassure the OP that even if they haven't backed up to itunes lately or have not bothered to properly save their pictures using another device and PHOTOSTREAM, that their oversight won't be catastrophic in circumstances where failure to do either of these things and being met with tragedy, does not necessarily mean that the OP is SOL. The automatic backup is another line of defense against data loss and can save the OP's precious memories, TEMPORARILY, until they can be transferred to another device for "permanent" storage. Why disable a line of defense?
I see it all the time. Full icloud, camera roll turned off, device not backed up to itunes nor pics saved for weeks because they were too busy, didn't feel like it or were just plain lazy. Then, a wedding, birth, Halloween, Naughty time with the hubby, whatever it may be its an event with a LOT of pictures taken. Then, then next day or so, before the manual saves can happen, the device is damaged and needs to be replaced. There's no backup, nothing saved and the user loses ALL of the pics from the special event. IF they had properly managed their pics and only kept stuff on there that they really needed, deleted the rest after saving their pics elsewhere, and thus kept the backup size small enough to use, the backup would happen unattended overnight, and even though catastrophe still happens, all the pics from the big event are recovered on a new device using the iCloud backup.
Do you see the difference? I hope you do, and i hope so does the OP. I have a great deal of experience here, take advantage of it or not. Accept my help or be stubborn about it, Your choice. I am finished posting into this thread now. Take care and good luck with your data.

TS3992 I have been getting this message: "This iPhone cannot be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available." However, the phone says that I still have 1.1 GB of available storage. Any suggestions?

Try doing a hard reset:
Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears.
After that: go to Settings - iCloud - Storage and backup - turn off the iCloud backup
and backup with iTunes from now on

Not enough Storage This iPad cannot be backed up because there is no enough iCloud

Hi, guys, I have 5 iPads are under the same Apple ID. One of 5 iPads freezes, it says "Not Enough Storage, this iPad cannot be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage availabe. You can manage your storage in Settings." But acutually, nothing works, I even cannot turn off the iPad. I connect the iPad with the iTunese in my MacBook. But it doesn't help except asking me to restore the iPad. There are some students' work in the iPad and I don't want to earse any these work. Anyone can have some idea about how to solve the prolem, I'll appreciate it. Thanks ,Ming

The media on this iPhone cannot be backed up because there is not enough free space on this computer to hold all of the backed up files

I am trying to update my software to v 5.0. I have over 1TB available on my external drive, where my itunes folder is stored, but itunes is trying to backup to my system folder (even though I have set it to go to my external HD). What am I missing?

I had this problem too, but found a fairly easy fix, at least on windows 7.
A little background first though, I have my OS(win7-64bit) installed on a 40GB SSD, and then everything else including my program files and user folders are on a second, 3TB hard drive. I'm using symbolic links to make this all work well, cause windows has a hard time when it doesn't see the program files and users directory on its install drive, even when you change the registery settings for them. So iTunes incorrectly thought it was trying to backup to my SSD drive due to the symbolic links, when in reality it was trying to back up to my 3TB drive.
The fix is to change the registry settings for the "AppData" folder that itunes backs up into. In windows 7 it is quite simple to do. You don't even have to directly touch the registry. The steps are as follows (for Win7):
1. Navigate to your AppLocal folder. To do this simply open a folder, and type in "applocal" in the location bar and hit enter.
2. There will be three folders. Do the following for all three folders(Local, LocalLow, and Roaming):
     1. Right-click and select properties
     2. Select the "Locations" tab on the uppper left of the window.
     3. Change the location to where you have more disk space. For me it was as simple as just changing the "C:\" portion to "D:\".
     4. Click apply. At this point windows will ask you if you want it to copy the data already in the App folder to the new location. If the data isn't already in the new folder you selected, then say yes, or many programs won't work correctly. If, like me, you are using symbolic links and just selected the folder that the orginal pointed to anyway, then you can hit no.
     5. If windows had to copy anything, wait for the copy to finish.
3. Restart iTunes if it is still open.
4. Try again to upgrade and it should now backup without complaints.

We are novice users of an Ipad. Have recently taken many video clips at a wedding. Ipad now displays message "Not enough storage this Ipad cannot be backed up because there is not enough Icloud storage available etc" Neither option "close" or "settings" will respond and the screen quickly goes blank. Any help would be welcome. Bob.

A reset may 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. Release both buttons and await restart.

What do you mean by 'frozen' ? Have you tried a soft-reset to see if that gets it to work ? 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.
