no update capabilities on new verson

Well, you added a third-party repository to your sources.list. So it's neither a security, nor a ubuntu problem. It's not a good idea to add repositories to your sources.list, if you don't know how to handle them

Nevertheless, you can solve this problem by running "wget -O - http://backports.org/debian/archive.key | sudo apt-key add -" in console.

uhhhhhhhhhhh................ im totley lost on how to do that like i know how to do the terminal but not all the commands

It's just one command.

1) Open the terminal
2) Paste the command (one line)
3) Press Enter
4) It will ask for your password
5) You're done

It then fetches the key from backports.org and puts it into your keyring.

You may also download the archive.key file by hand, start Synaptic (System->Administration->Synaptic Packet Manger), open "Settings->Repositories", change to Tab "Authentification" and click on "Import file".

GAHHHHHH grrrr so i did it and heres what i did and what it gave
me

greg@ubuntu:~$ wget -O -
wget: missing URL
Usage: wget [OPTION]... [URL]...

Try `wget --help' for more options.
greg@ubuntu:~$ http://backports.org/debian/archive.key | sudo apt-key
add -
bash: http://backports.org/debian/archive.key: No such file or directory
Password:
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
greg@ubuntu:~$
