Connect to iTunes to Use Push Notifications message

I have an iPhone 4 and I updated it to iOS 5 a few days ago and when I open up applictions like Facebook, Twitter, Bump, and others that use notifications, I get a message as soon as the appliction opens that says, "Connect to iTunes to Use Push Notifications". I have connected my iPhone to iTunes and synced it but that is not solving the problem. Because of this I am not recieving notifications from third party applictions. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Also, 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. Anyway to fix this?

(I forgot to mention my iPhone is NOT jailbroken and has never been jailbroken.)

iPhone 4, iOS 5

I apparently solved my problem yesterday by restoring my phone. I have a 3GS and did experience some issues while installing iOS 5. Earlier this week my iMessage capabilities suddenly disappeared, my passwords gone and the push notification issue with several apps popped up. I did a restore and the problem was solved. I did have to reenter the password for a few apps but other than that everything is fine now. Hope this helps.

Same here. We have tried restore and nothing is working. YouTube worked just fine before, but now it will not connect. Everything I find online is for phones that are jailbroken.
