I have a jailbroken 3gs running 3.1.2, but i won't sync the apps back to iTunes that are on the phone. It says the computer isn't authorized, even though it is.

I have 3 questions:

1. Is this caused by a jailbreak.
2. What is a work around where i don't loose my apps,
3. if i just hit the update button to get 3.1.3 will i loose all my apps and the jailbreak or just the jailbreak?
 
Have you synced to this computer before?
Are you sure its authorised?
Could there be Apps bought from another account on your phone?
Have you selected 'transfer purchases from iphone'?
1:No
2:'transfer purchases from iphone'
3: You will lose all your apps if you haven't synced them to a computer and will lose the JB if you upgrade to 3.1.3
