You mistyped the commands given (space characters missing). Better do it with copy and paste

uname -a; lsb_release -a; echo; sudo apt-get -f install

"I tried to run sudo apt and when I tried to give my password, it won't take it..."

When you enter a command in a terminal window with sudo you will be asked for your password. When you enter the password you will see nothing on the screen, no echo, no '*' placeholders, nothing. This is on purpose. Just type your password and press enter.

ok, remember I am a newbie
I did the cut and paste into the terminal and got better results
the response is: reading package done
building dependincy tree
reading state infomation done
0updgraded,0newly installed,0to remove,0not upgraded

does this mean it worked?

Yes, this confirms that you package management system is again in a stable status.

You should again be able to install your gstreamer plugins with Synaptic package manager or with Software Center.

canonical does not provide updates for gstreamer plugins for mms,wavpack,quicktime or musepack so it was suggested to check here for updates.
