You need to back it up with iCloud is what the message is telling you. Reboot the iPad. Let it start up completely and you should be OK.


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.
