As with the others, I had this issue on my iPhone 4S after upgrading from IOS6 to IOS7. I was able to get it to work properly after backing up to iTunes, restoring to factory settings, reloading all from the backup, and then reinstalling all my apps.


In my case, the pop-up message "connect to itunes to use push notifications" was looping when I launched into the Google Voice and gmail apps. Wiping and reloading took a long time - over an hour in total - but it completely fixed the issue.


Quite annoying, and should be fixed by Apple.

i had the same problem, installed ios7 on my iphone 5, then facetime and imessage wouldn't work and everytime I went onto whatsapp, snapchat, instagram, facebook, twitter etc i got the notification "connect to itunes to use push notifications". I followed Buggerlugs61 instructions (where he has attached the screenshot) and it has fixed my problem! thank you so much 🙂
