Attempting to sign into messages with AppleID, says incorrect password

I am successfully singing into my appleID account via icloud.com and mac mail. However, when I try to sign into imessages with the same icloud account, it says I have an incorrect AppleID or password.
I have verified they are correct

Hi eculley,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you can sign into other Apple services but not iMessages, try the steps in this article:

  • Why can't i sign into messages with my apple id

    Whenever I try to sign into messages, it pops up an error saying that my id can't be used.

    HI,
    The most common cause at the moment is a repaired or refurbished Mac missing the serial number on the Logic board.
    Use the Apple Icon Menu > About this Mac.
    Near the top is the current OS version listed
    Click this line twice (Once to Build number and again to Serial number)
    If it is missing you need and Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider to sort this for you.

  • I'm trying to send photos with iPhoto.  I have to sign into "messages" but can't find that on my Mac.  I never had a problem until now.

    How do I sign into messages?  I can't find it on my mac.  I just want to send photos like I used to and it's been changed.  Argh!

    Care to share which OS you are using as well as which version of iPhoto?
    It would help us to know which computer model you have, which OS & version you're using, how much RAM, etc. You can have this info displayed on the bottom of every post by completing your system profile and filling in the information asked for.
    This will help in providing you with the proper and/or correct solutions.

  • How do I get signed into Icloud when it says my apple id is valid but not an icloud acct?

    How do I get signed into Icloud when it says my apple id is valid but not an icloud acct?

    You will have to sign in to I cloud on any of the iOS device with version 5 or above  once with your Apple Id to use your Apple Id as I cloud account. So if you have an iPhone iPad or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later.
    On your iOS device go to settings > I cloud and sign in and you should be able to use your Apple Id as an icloud Id.

    Hi, I have just changed contract and phone and wish to transfer the content of my iphone 4 to my new phone device which is not and I-product.  When I attempt to sign into i-tune to transfer the item to dropbox, i am unable to sign into i-tune.  Help pls.

    Hi, Kilted, I shall put it as below:
    Cancelled a contract on my Iphone and started another contract with  Samsung Note 2 on O2.  Managed to transfer almost all my data bar the content of my notes through drag and drop from itune to sKies prior to contract cancellation.
    When I later connected the iphone to the laptop to carry out an advise of going into itune to drag and drop the note content into dropbox from where I could pull into the samsung device, I was denied access into itune with my id , the same which has facilitated my access to this chat community.
    Question then: Am I not able to use itune again because of the contract cancellation?

  • Cant sign into iTunes with VPP manager email address

    Is anyone else having difficulty signing into iTunes with their Apple VPP account manager email address? I work as an IT contractor for a number of schools and in the past have set up VPP so that paid and free apps can be distributed via an MDM solution. Recently, the process by which we do this isn't working any more. Apple have admitted in emails that they have changed the way that VPP accounts are set up on their end and that during the transition some accounts were processed incorrectly (causing a lot of headaches and confusion). In one instance, we set up the VPP manager account using a distribution list email address of .*******. later, we enabled two step verification and provisioned the facilitator account. but when we sent to sign into the iTunes store with the management accounts email address, we got the error message: "this email is associated with he VPP program". We have told apple about this who replied with a frustrating tautology: "our records indicate that that address is associated with the VPP program, so you will have to use another email address to sign into iTunes." Trouble is, for the purposes of information management, we cant just sign into iTunes with any old email address, we have to use one provisioned by the education department, and they wont provision another email address for this.. Also, we have screenshots which demonstrate that it is possible to sign into iTunes with the program manager account at other schools, so what has changed? If this keeps up, I will have no choice but to recommend to all schools in future that they not go with Apple because their account provision system is not maintained at a professional level.  The fact that they are so slow moving on this makes me look bad and the lack of documentation is inexcusable given the massive profits they have been posting.  I will campaign vehemently against the use of apple in education unless this situation changes for the better.  Already one school on our books have had an absolute gut-full of and have sold off the 60 iPads they purchased in favor of Android tablets with custom ROMS. What is the solution and why is there no phone number for Apple VPP in Australia?
    <Edited by Host>

    I know this post is over a year old. We setup our VPP account in Feb last year. It's very frustrating.
    This is what I wrote to Apple.
    This whole system *****!!!!
    Seriously. I sign up under the old system and now we have to go through more doors to get in than a gold refinery.
    You honestly think your product is worth this much pain. Get real!!!
    I work at a school as THE ONLY IT Support Officer. I setup a generic user account for VPP under the old system so that the account was not tied to my name just in case I left or someone else had to take over the role. Now we cant use that account to manage the VPP account. We have to create other admin accounts. Trouble is, most of us already have our personal emails attached to iTunes accounts, AND YOUR SYSTEM WON'T LET US USE THESE ACCOUNTS TO BE ADMINS FOR OUR VPP ACCOUNT BECAUSE THEY ARE ALREADY ATTACHED TO AN ITUNES ACCOUNT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Now I'm home and I can't remember my logon password and cant recall my recovery key because it's all back at work on a system I cant access until 2 weeks from now when the school holidays are over.
    Well done Apple, you managed to make Microsoft look good!
    The generic email account we setup is a distribution list account for the purposes of adding and removing people as needed. Apples change now means that we have to create more email accounts. I won't be doing that any time soon, I already have 5 and not about to create moer.
    I too will not be recommending that schools go with Apple products. They are a consumer product, not an enterprise product. The promise you the world and all you get is pain.

  • I cannot log into messages with my aol/aim account

    Hi,
    When I try to log into messages with my aol/aim account, it keeps on saying that the username and/or password is incorrect. Neither are incorrect as I can log into the account on the aim web settings page and on the aol page.
    Any help?
    Thanks

    If you change your passord on AOL, for security they block your new password on your iPad but not on your PC. I downloaded the AOL application on my iPad and then used that to change my password on AOL and then my Mail on my iPad fully works. I then used my AOL new password on my PC and now everything works.

  • Why can't I sign into Messages?

    I just got my new Macbook Pro.  I tried signing into Messages for the first time and have had no success.  I know my password is correct.  I get the message "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again."  I also know that my connection is fine since I am on the internet at the same time.  Any help?

  • I have an ipad I used with a computer which's now broken. I bought a new Macbook Pro and signed into iTunes with my usual Apple id and pw. I connected my ipad to the new Macbook but it won't back up my photos or Apps from the ipad to the new macbook. Help

    What do you mean " back up my photos or Apps"?
    The photo sync is one way - computer to ipad.
    You can transfer itunes purchases.  Without syncing:  File>Transfer Purchases
    Copy everything from your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.

  • Two part question 1) what happens if you  sign into messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 after it expired? does the whole application not work or just imessage? 2) does installing messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5  delete ichat?

    Two part question
    1) what happens if you  sign into messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5 after it expired? does the whole application not work or just imessage? can you stil use AIM, jabbar, google talk, or yahoo?  if you open messages beta does it immediately tell you that messages beta expired?
    2) does installing messages beta on os x lion 10.7.5  delete ichat or just transform ichat into messages beta giving the illusion that ichat is deleted?

    Hi,
    It was never completely clear whether it was just hidden or whether Apple ran a download page for iChat 6.
    As the Download for Messages Beta was separate and "Deleted" iChat it would seem it would be another download for iChat 6.
    iMessages will not function as it is only an Account type within Messages and iChat 6 does not have it.
    Therefore messages on the iPhone will not sync to the Mac. (until you get Mountain Lion and Messages in that OS X version).
    Mountain Lion and it's full version of Messages will not sync the iMessages that have happened in between the 14th December 2012  (end date of Messages beta) and the Install of Mountain Lion if you decide on that route.

  • Why can't I sign into messages on OSX Mountain Lion?

    I just upgraded to Mountain Lion on OSX and I cannot sign into Messages or FaceTime. I'm getting this message every time:
    "The server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later."
    Any advice or anyone else experiencing this?

    Hi again,
    The Host File was the "fix" to the issue before OS X 10.8.2 came out (this updates Messages to version 7.0.1)
    Editing the Hosts file can be done by some apps but is normally a deliberate act to stop some Apps "Phoning Home".
    It does not sound like this is something you have done.
    It is worth learning how to look at the file though.
    EDIT.
    I am presuming you have checked Date and Time (including Zone) settings

  • Business Service sign a message with always same certificate

    Hello,
    We  need to call an external web service that require the request be signed by a certificate.
    Our organization has an Oracle Service Bus and our intention is use the bus to facilitate our clients the calls.
    I did the next steps:
    1.- I Have configured the keystore of OSB with the certificated.
    2.- I have made the business service, with the end-point the external ws.
    3.- I Have configured the sign-body ws-policy in business service.
    4.- When i prove it with debug console of OSB, i select the keystore provider and it works.
    The problem is:
    When I make the Proxy Service seems that the Business Service give the requirement to the Proxy for sign the message,  and what I want is publish the Proxy Service without this requirement and sign the message with always the same certificate.
    I would like the message was signed by Proxy Service or Business Service, and not by clients who call the OSB.
    I don't know how configure it on OSB.
    It is possible to configure OSB in that way?
    Thanks
    Miguel

    Hello,
    Can you please confirm the following
    1. You are setting up an expired certificate as the host certificate for your host (or) are you trying to sign an ASPX file with an expired certificate?
    2. The webserver where you are hosting this ASPX (IIS I presume), has only certificate based authentication enabled - is that right?
    3. You are seeing that when the user opens the website they are prompted that the certificate has expired, and even if they chose to move forward, they are not able to - is that the issue?
    4. If (3) is not the issue and you want to be able to get access to the certificate-expiration error as part of the ASPX code, then that wouldn't be possible because the certificate validation would happen as part of the TLS connection negotiation
    If you can please provide some more details, it will help.
    Thank you
