Upgrading Drupal

I have just upgrade my Drupal installation from 7.12 to 7.14 Everything seems to work fine until I realized that my Ubercart payment module is not longer working. There is a problem with the credit card and authorize.net modules. During the checkout process for a customer, after they enter the credit card information, instead of completing the transaction, the checkout page goes back to the same page where you enter the credit card information again.

Our organization has not applied any security patches since 12/09, probably because the process is not user-friendly.
I searched the documentation and found nothing on how to install security patches.

Please help!

Each security patch is in a zipped file. WINRAR launches and I assume to extract to a new folder (maybe on Windows Desktop).
But what program to launch from unzipped files? Is this an automatic process from any client computer in a domain?

I have a big problem with upgrading views on my website
i have tried with version 6.x-2,13 and 2,16 and 3,0
and i have done the update.php
and it is still red in drupal updates

Is there som genius who can help me

I've tried this twice now, including a clean install and both times with same result. I'm getting this error after upgrading from 7.12 to 7.14:

Notice: Illegal member variable name in drupal_json_encode_helper() (line 94 of /siteurl/includes/json-encode.inc).

Any ideas what might be causing this?

Thanks.

Hi

For some unknown reason content submitted on my Drupal site by Anonymous and Authenticated users are automatically published on the site, even though the Content type they are submitting does not have any of the tick boxed enabled for publishing content.

The following permission are also not set
Bypass content access control
Administer content types
Administer content

I'm pretty sure this was working on 7.12, I upgraded to 7.14 but not sure if this may have caused this problem.

Any help on this will be much appreciated.

Thanks

I have various sites installed on /public_html/websites/drupalsite some are drupal 6.x and other 7.x. None of them I can't update database. I run the update.php and i recieve a "page not found" error. For several times I search and google for a answer but I didn't found. I already tryed to edit settings.php - ($update_free_access = TRUE), tryed to change permissions and nothing worked.
Can somebody help me ? Is this a bug ? I'm getting a litle bit anxious.

Thank you for your help.

Sorry my english.
