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

Hi,


This happened to me a couple of weeks ago however I found another solution. Upgrading to I0S 9 has fixed the problem for me. However note that when starting up your ipad with the new update, it will ask you to sign in to icloud. I pressed yes and it has been stuck there for a very long time without doing anything. It's probably best to press "skip this step" and do it later on.
