Re: I have a message on my ipad that has locked it up. About icloud backup hasn't been done in 5 weeks. How can I clear this up?

This should get rid of the message once the iPad fully restarts.

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.

The obvious answer I would think is to backup the iPad on a regular basis so the message doesn't reappear - unless you are saying that you do backup and the message popped up anyway.
