Connect to iTunes to Use Push Notifications message

Just turn off notifications for the youtube app

Notwithstanding other comments I do not think this problem (at least with the latest upgrade) has anything to do with the specific device. I had it on my iPhone 6 and was also unable to download app updates (it just does not work - no message). Then Dropbox transfers from mail on my iPad (also on the latest os) got swamped by this silly 'push messages' notice (hard to understand when it might be relevant anyway).

But with some fiddling and re-signing into the cloud (no restore) things seem now to be working. So I think the problem is with the link to the cloud/store, not any specific device. It is possible that the OS update today could be a factor.

This solution does work on the Iphone 5 with that problem. Restored with issues and everything is working. Don't forget to backup.

These instructions are few years old, but still worked for me.

same app and same problem, check out that old article - explains "why" and HOW.

BTW that token comes from Square, or you would have problem with all apps.

This has just happened to me too, I updated to IOS 5 last night and can't get ride of the 'Connect to iTunes to Use Push Notifications message.

I've been trying to read other forums but have not found a solution yet..

My husband and I share an itunes account/computer and he updated his phone right after me. He is not having this issue, but I am. My notifications were working right after the update then randomly stopped about 10 mins after.

I had the same exact thing happen to me last night. I've been able to get some of my apps to work but Google+ is causing problems and so is Yelp. I had to reenter my passwords for my email accounts as well. I am not sure what happened but based on the number of people posting the same problem it sounds like there is an issue with the new iOS.

I just upgraded from an iPhone 4 to an iPhone 4s and I'm seeing this in Find My Friends. I just opened a discussion on it before I saw this thread. I haven't seen it with any other app so far. It was working fine on my iPhone 4 before I upgraded phones. Maybe it's not just a problem with FMF and I just haven't seen it on other apps yet.

I'm also having similar issues, but without the 'itunes message." My push notification(for apps other than mail) are sporadic at best. The biggest issue is with my IM apps. For a while i thought it was IM+ as the problem, but then i tried imo which has the same problem. FB and twitter notifications now doing the same thing. This was not an issue prior to iOS 5.

I have the same problem. It's no good because I can't get notifications from any 3rd party apps, only ones that came on the phone. Just got my iPhone 4S, and it is not jailbroken.

Hey, Apple, help us please!

I'm having the exact same issues.

Everytime I open the YouTube application I get a message saying, "Cannot connect to YouTube" and I am not able to use YouTube at all because of this.

My iPhone is NOT jailbroken nor has it ever been jailbroken.

The other app that is giving me problems is Words With Friends and I get the "Connect to iTunes to Use Push Notifications". But I've been connected to iTunes, many times since this started and it doesn't fix anything.

I just updated from ios 5.0.1 to 5.1.1 last night and it din't fix anything. I guess I'll do another back-up just to be safe and try a restore. Ugh.

I made the mistake of doing a local backup and I then attempted to do a restore from a previous backup. I stated getting 3014 errors during the restore, so I now have a bricked iPhone 5. I attempted to enter DFU mode to see if that would help but of course it didn't. So I am now gong to the "genius" bar to see if I can get a replacement device. I doubt they'll be able to do anything with it either.

Applecare to the rescue. I know I shouldn't have bothered doing the restore.

I have a iPod touch, 64gb, model a1421, iTunes 11.0.2 and all the latest updates. I have rebooted, restarted, reinstalled apps, backed up, restored, from iTunes, not the cloud, and NO, it didn't change anything, I still get the message Connect to iTunes to use push notifications. Which, to get out of this mode, double click, switch to another app, then double click again to close the offending app, in this case dropbox, used by millions of users. Looks like I'm going to the Genius Bar, as I work in IT and in a organization that has 1000's of IOS devices. I need to know how to fix this.

I just upgraded to iphone5. The only time I've had this problem is after downloading the app for Square Up (credit card processing). The app downloaded then that message appeared and wouldn't close or respond to anything. System appeared to hang. I only got rid of it by doing a hard reboot and deleteing that app. I sent acidic messages to Square Inc. who blamed it on Apple, found this thread and sent it to me. Is anyone else trying to use the Square Up app and getting this message? Is Apple trying to do anything about this?
