Q: iCloud backup message won't go away

How do I get rid of an iCloud backup message if pressing OK won't make it go away (and therefore doesn't allow me to do anything else, even power down my iPad)?

iPad 2, iOS 6.1.2

Hey, thanks so much! Huge help, this worked! On holiday, and after staying up all night to load videos onto iPad for children, was disappointed that iPad wouldn't even work. But this has saved the day (or at least a few evenings of sanity while kids watch a movie or two!).

It worked for me too. Make sure you hold until the apple logo appears.
