Last backup was 9th feb and refuses to backup even when charging on wifi.

Any reasons why this seems to be happening?
 
Yeah all the others back up fine, might need to try just doing it through iTunes. Don't use my MacBook that often.
 
Try deleting existing backup.
Where's the option for that?

I just plugged in into iTunes and it says start as new iPad or back up but the last back up is 14th feb. and I don't want it to restore to that as there is a lot more on it now.

Not sure why this is happening.

Um, I thought you were trying to back up to iCloud.

I don't understand why you are getting that message, you did connect this iPad to that computer before, right? In any case, clicking start as new should do it. It's counterintuitive, but that's what you have to do when hooking up an already set up iPad to a computer for the first time (which is why it's weird that you are getting this message.)

To delete the backup, I believe it's in iTunes settings, Devices, click on the backup you want to delete. I think there was a delete button, if not, try right clicking and see if there's a delete option in the pop up menu.
