Icloud backup alert has locked up my ipad 2.

I have a new Ipad 2, that has had a Icloud backup alert. That tells me i have not backed up my Ipad for 3 weeks, and backups happen when this ipad is plugged in, locked, and connected to wi-fi. But when you click the ok button, it does not go away. It will not allow me to change screens, turn it off, ect.. I can not use the touch screen at all. Has anyone had a similar problem? Any ideas or suggestions is much appreciated.

iPad 2, iOS 5.0.1

Well you should probably backup your iPad but you need to get out of the settings first so try this - force quit settings and restart.


Force quit the app by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears. Let go of the sleep button and then hold down on the home button until the app quits. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.


If that doesn't work - try a reset.


Reset 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.
