DropboxI had a customers iPad here for glass digitizer screen replacement repair for a few weeks. Customer shipped it to me for repair. He was out of town for a few weeks, iPad was not picked by customer until 3 weeks later.
 
 
The customer called after receiving iPad, and had a similar message error message as to the ones above. something in the lines of “iCloud Backup Has Not Been Performed In 2 Weeks”. Customer said his only option was to click “Ok” which he did and iPad would turn off, black screen. Ask if I could help. Instructed him over the phone to try a “Hard Reset”, described below. He thanked me for helping him out, and the screen repair, told me “it worked!”

    I had a icloud back up reminder message that wouldn’t go away and consequently locked my whole iPad. The suggestion above to hold the home and sleep button for 10 seconds or until the apple logo came on worked. Thanks, much appreciated !
