In order to help you we need to know your specific computing environment details. Please work through what follows and report back.
1. If you are not running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/ please try upgrading or switching first.
2. If you are using an IE browser in compatibility mode please disable that mode. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1196-internet-explorer-compatibility-view-turn-off.html
3. If you are running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/
(a) Try clearing your browser’s cache http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=32050

I have tried using my iMAC, my Macbook Air, Safari 6.1, Safari 5.1.10 and Firefox 25.0.1 and I have not been able to upload files to any of my blogs. Have emptied cache etc but no change.

To confirm, this is for the site at onhisbike.wordpress.com?
When you say you cannot upload media, could you please provide a few more details for me?
Are you clicking on the “Add Media” button? How far do you get before you run into trouble? Are you missing functionality (like buttons or options), are you getting error messages, or does it look like everything is working but the media doesn’t appear?
It would also be very helpful if you could please take a screenshot at the point where you are having difficulties, and upload the image to a free image sharing service so I can take a look:

One more thing that would really help us pin this issue down.
Please report which browser(s) and browser versions you’re using, and please check for javascript errors in the browser.
To do this, please see the instructions at http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Your_Browser_to_Diagnose_JavaScript_Errors#Step_3:_Diagnosis
(you can disregard steps 1 & 2 on that page, and just look for steps on finding errors in your particular browser).
If you find any errors, please let me know.
