I couldn't sign in to iMessage with my apple id

Why can't I sign into Messages on Mac with my Apple ID? I have tried using both my Apple ID and iCloud but it still post an error message.

Hi,
It does not have to be your iCloud ID.
It can be any Apple ID that has had any email verified.
This issue can arise if the computer has had a Logic board replaced and the Serial number not put back on it.
Use the Apple Menu top left > About this Mac
Click twice on the line that currently tell you the OS version.
Is the Serial Number present ?

  • I keep getting error message when trying to sign in for iMessage with my Apple ID since upgrading to iOS 7

    I keep getting error messages when I try to activate iMessage on my iPad since installing iOS7. Anyone else having this issue or a solution. I can obviously sign in with the same Apple ID information/password as I have done here and I am connecting with Wifi now and in all other apps.

    After looking at some other posts I signed into iTunes and edited my password with my Mac. Then I powered off and restarted my iPad and all is good now.

  • Can't sign in iMessage with my Apple ID

    I Can't sign in iMessage with my Apple ID. I always get the message: invalid username or password.  I did not make any changes in my Apple accaunt. Why?

    Try to go here https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/ and change your password and maybe email too, if you have another one. If not, try just with the password.

    Hello, kitkatshaw. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    This sounds like you are attempting to create an iCloud account with your Apple ID through iCloud.com.  In order to create an iCloud account, you must sign up via one of the options below.
    You can sign up for iCloud on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iOS 5 or later, or through System Preferences on a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.4 or later.

    If you've already reset the password and changed your payment information, then the next best thing to do is call Apple directly and ask for iTunes Billing Support.  Your account is likely disabled on their computers as part of their fraud prevention protocol.  You may have to verify yourself as the account holder to get the account enabled again.
    Good Luck!
