"connect to itunes to use push notifications"

hello,

I updated my Iphone to ios 7 today.

Since then when I open apps like whatsapp and facebook, I see "connect to itunes to use push notifications".

When can I do to fix it?

iPhone 4S, iOS 7

did not work for me.

resetting did not work either

backing up did not work

deleting and reinstalling the app did not work

praying did not work

voo doo did not work

beseeching the sun god, rain god, and Apple gods did not work

the only thing that did work is to stop using the affected apps altogether after deleting them

poor drop box...the support guys there are at a complete loss as to why one of their potential

paying customers is now no longer interested in upgrading

i highly doubt Apple is even sincere in trying to solve this problem once and for all

hey Apple, do you hear that?

anyone else out there seriously considering switching to android?

There are four pages of posts here going back to 2013. A lot has changed since then, and this post's title refers to two entirely separate processes.


So, how about you tell us what it is you are trying to do, and what happens when you try to do it? Since we now know all of the troubleshooting steps you have taken, that should save some time.


This is a user to user forum, by the way. Apple isn't hearing anything....


Cheers,

Hi GB


two of my apps have been popping up the connect to iTunes to use push notifications alert constantly...and no matter how many times I pushed ok, it just won't go away.

when that happens, my phone freezes up, and I can't do anything other than restart it.

needless to say this problem renders the aforementioned apps completely useless.

i've trawled the Internet for suggestions for two days now, tried just about everything except the mention of a certain sledgehammer,

and nothing works.

i use an iPhone 4s with iOS 8.3, which has worked just fine until the two apps started acting up out of the blue without any warning.

this situation is completely hopeless

one is DropBox

the other is Starbucks Taiwan


what I find unsettling is the fact that many people have come up with many different solutions, but none of them worked.
