See the most recent post by JohnVV. You need to edit the files /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo and /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo

Here is the first section of my fedora.repo file to help you ou - your's should look like this toot:
Code:
[fedora]
name=Fedora $releasever - $basearch
failovermethod=priority
#baseurl=http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/$releasever/Everything/$basearch/os/
mirrorlist=https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=fedora-$releasever&arch=$basearch
enabled=1
metadata_expire=7d
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-fedora-$basearch
Note the line enabled=1 above. That's what enables the fedora repository.

please use the TEXT based way
i think you might have used the gui to turn them off
and the instructions for the gui are DIFFERENT for KDE ,different for Gnome Different for e17 ,and also different for xfce .
