Find My Friends on iPhone 4s gives constant push notification message

I replaced my iPhone 4 with an iPhone 4s last night. I was using Find My Friends on both my iPhone 4 and my iPad before I changed phones. After the phone update, the app still works fine on the iPad. But when I log into the FMF app on the iPhone 4s I get the following message over and over.
Connect to iTunes to Use
Push Notifications
"Find Friends" notifications may
include alerts, sounds and icon
badges.
There is an OK button at the bottom of the message. When I press it, the message goes away for no more than two seconds and then comes back. Over and over and over.
I have deleted the app and reinstalled it several times and I've turned notifications on and off several times. I connected to iTUnes like it said, but I can't see anything that I need to do to turn on Push notifications.
Anybody else seeing this?

BTW, if it matters, none of my iOS devices are jailbroken. The old phone was (completely legally) running the iOS5 GM from the developer program.

After further research and testing, it is clear this is not an issue with FInd My Friends. The issue is with the loss of Push Notifications. It is happening in other apps as well. There are lots of threads on the Push Notification issue. None of them have any solution except to reinstall iOS5.

Can't use Find My Friends on iPhone due to Apple ID not being verified. Can't do this as I can't access my .mac email any longer and I can not change the primary e-mail address for my Apple ID!

Can't use Find My Friends on iPhone due to Apple ID not being verified.
Can't do this as I can't access my .mac email any longer and I can not change the primary e-mail address for my Apple ID!
So my options are:
Create a new Apple ID, use that and lose all the apps I've purhcased with it (a fairly substantial amount)
Somehow Migrate these purchases over to a new Apple ID
Apple let me change the primary ID for the account
Anyone else ran into this before?
I've tried accessing the mail through a mail application using the correct server information, and trying both the old 6 character password and the one I had to change it too after they updated the security guidelines - neither work.
Help would be greatly appreciated as I can see more services down the line not working without the address being verified!

To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iDevice, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. When you do this you may find that the password for your old ID isn't accepted. If this should happen, and if your old ID is an earlier version of your current ID, you need to temporarily recreate your old ID by going to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You should not need to verify the old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

I keep getting "connect to iTunes to use Push Notifications" in the Find my Friends app. The only response it allows is OK, but when I hit OK, the message keeps coming back. How do I get rid of this message?

1-back up device
2- restore ipad
3- restore to back up
dosent make much sense to me cause ive just put back on what was i thought would be a problem back up ... but it did work. just takes a while to get all your apps back in place tho ..

Push Notification messages from SLS to iPhone

Hi.
Can anyone advise whether it's possible to have a web-based event (like submitting a form) generate a push notification that is sent by a SLS machine to iPhone devices? Detailed explanation not expected, just a nod as to whether this is the sort of functionality I can expect or not..
Best,
Wade.

Iphone 4 crashed = no push notifications.

Basically, my iPhone crashed.
After that, none of my push notifications would work. I get alerts for text messages but everything else won't work.
It keeps telling me to sync the phone with iTunes in order to get the notifications to work but I've tried several times and nothing is changed!
Please help, I'm getting so annoyed and I don't want to have to reset my phone

Turning 3G network access off alone does not turn off internet access via the cellular network via EDGE or GPRS, whichever is available at the time with 3G access turned off.
Turning Cellular Data off on the iPhone prevents internet access entirely via the cellular network.
With wi-fi access on and the iPhone connected to an available wi-fi network while the iPhone is not connected to a power source, wi-fi access will be turned off when the iPhone is asleep to conserve battery. When waking the iPhone up, it will quickly reconnect to the wi-fi network. When the iPhone is connected to a power source while connected to a wi-fi network, it will remain connected to the wi-fi network while asleep.

Find my friends app not working

I am unable to add or receive followers. It has been working fine for ages then one of my contacts said they couldn't see me anymore. They have sentence numerous requests but it hasn't come through to me (nor has it the other way round) and now another contact can't see me. Anyone else have this issue and resolved it?

Hey kw05,
Thanks for the question. The following resource may provide a solution:

Issues with location requests
You are not receiving requests from others to follow your location
If you're certain someone has sent you a location request using Find My Friends, and you do not receive the notification:
- Make sure that you're signed in to the Find My Friends iOS app with the Apple ID your friend is trying to follow. If that was not the case, check the inbox of the email address your friend used, and see if there is any location request email from your friend. If so, tap View Request in that message to accept or decline their request in Find My Friends.
- Make sure that the option to Allow Friend Requests is turned on:
          - Find My Friends 3.0 or later:
          - On an iPhone or iPod touch, tap Me, then check Allow Friend Requests under Invitations
          - On an iPad, tap the List button, tap Me, tap Info, then check Allow Friend Requests.
          - Find My Friends 2.1.1 or earlier: Tap the Me tab, tap Account, then check Allow Friend Requests under Notifications.
- Make sure that you're within the limits to accept follow requests. If you have reached a limit, you may not be able to accept more friends until you remove one.
Your requests to follow others are not received
- Make sure that you're sending your request to the Apple ID your friend is using to sign in to the Find My Friends iOS app.
- Make sure that you're within the limits to send follow requests to others. If you have reached a limit, you may not be able to send a location request to more friends until you remove one.
Note: If you accept a request from a friend that you’re not following, a follow request is sent to your friend automatically (Find My Friends 3.0 or later).
Thanks,
Matt M.

I can't get any Twitter push notifications on the ios5/iPhone 3GS...

For some reason, on the new update, I can't get Twitter push notifications. No banners, alerts or anything. I get notifications from everything else (mail, Facebook, SMS, etc), but not Twitter. I've tested it multiple times with reply and mentions and nothing will pop up on my iPhone 3GS.
Went into Settings>Twitter, but there was no option for notifications, and then I went to Settings>Notifications, and I couldn't find anything for Twitter.
Help!!

I recently updated my iPhone 3GS with IOS 5. Since then I've found my phone is very slow, but also that What's App Messenger or Facebook does not give me push notifications. Everytime I open the app, it tells me to connect with iTunes to use push notifications. I've done this a few times, but it makes no difference. I don't know if I'm suppose to change any settings on iTunes, but cant find anything to change. All my Whatsapp notification settings are on. I also dont want to uninstall WhatsApp because I'm scared I will lose all my messages.
Please help
