Can't sign into iMessage..after Mavericks upgrade

I have upgraded to Mavericks and I am trying to open iMesage but this login gif image constantly rolling .
I cant log into it..is there any remedy available..

After a lot of exploring I finally found the problem with my case.
I have my  logic board replaced by the apple service centre couple of years back. Which caused the vanishing of my serial number. I dont know what made it vanish. But u see this was the case.
Now why I am talking about the serial key has reason behind it. To use iMessage and Facetime apps we got to have serial number in our firmware. Otherwise it keeps showing me some connection errors while setting up the iMessage.
The legitimate and safe way to enroll your serial number back to your machine is to go to Apple store and tell them the issue. And they will do the needful. We can get the serial key from the surface of the product, product invoice or the packaging box.
I have not tried that after enrolling my serial key back to the machine, my iMessge and Facetime will start working. But its worth a try because missing serial key is a serious issuue. And it may cause some apps to work in a way which you dont anticipate it to.
So if you also suffer from the same problem, dont forget to check your serial key. And in case it is affirmative then do visit the Apple Store and resolve the issue. Although i hope Apple should release an update for those suffering with missing serial key and fix the issue. But untill then we have to find our nearest Apple Store.

    I was prompted to change my password for security reasons, after I did so I can still access iTunes and the App Store with the new password but it won't let me sign into iMessage, anyone have any ideas?

    Reset all settings

    Note: Data will not be affected but settings will be reset.

  • I changed my Apple ID and now I can't sign into iMessages because it still has my old ID. How do I change that also?

    I changed my Apple ID today and now I can't sign into iMessage because it still shows my old ID. How can I change this??

    Did you purchase Apple Care? If you did, you still have access to Apple Support.  If not, go to your Apple Store and let them help you get it set up correctly.  I'm sure it's something simple we're missing.  Good Luck. 
    Do remember one thing.  iMessage on iPad only works with other iOS devices.  This means you can only text to people who:
    1.  Have an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch
    2.  And they have upgraded to iOS 5 or higher

  • TS4268 I can't sign into iMessages. My apple ID works absolutely fine for FaceTime App store etc, but keeps telling me "An error occurred ant to try again" when I try to sign in to iMessages. Very frustrating

    I can't sign into iMessages. My apple ID works absolutely fine for FaceTime App store etc, but keeps telling me "An error occurred ant to try again" when I try to sign in to iMessages. Very frustrating. I've double checked all the settings but still can't sign in. Any sugestions?

    Try this - sign out of your Apple ID and reboot the iPad, then try all over again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    After the iPad starts up, go back to the settings for Messages and FaceTime and your Apple ID, and sign into all three again.
    Sign into Settings>Store first

  • For some reason i can't sign into imessage and facetime. PLEASE HELP???

    For some reason i can't sign into imessage and facetime. PLEASE HELP???

    Hey tcap8687,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with iMessage and FaceTime. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
    If you have difficulty activating FaceTime or iMessage - Apple Support
    If you see "Could not sign in, please check your network connection and try again" when signing in to your Apple ID
    To resolve this issue, follow these steps.
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    Verify that you have a data connection by going to www.apple.com in Safari. You can complete Apple ID activation using Wi-Fi or a cellular data connection. If you need help connecting to Wi-Fi, follow these steps.
    If you're using Wi-Fi, make sure that your local Wi-Fi network is using the recommended Wi-Fi settings.
    Sign in to your account and ensure that the primary email address and alternate e-mail addresses have been verified. If verification is pending, follow the instructions in the email Apple sent to that email address to complete verification. Or remove the e-mail addresses from the account.
    If your Apple ID isn't an email address, you can change it. The Apple ID that you're using to activate FaceTime or iMessage must be an email address. Find more information on how to change your Apple ID.
    Tap Settings > General > Date & Time. Make sure that your iPhone is set to the correct time zone. If Set Automatically is on but the wrong time zone appears, turn Set Automatically off and choose the correct time zone, date, and time.
    Enable iMessage and FaceTime while connected to a different Wi-Fi network (in a different location) if a cellular data connection is not available.
    You can see that you've activated FaceTime and iMessage with your Apple ID by following these steps.
    Tap Settings > FaceTime > You can be reached by FaceTime at:
    Tap Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You can be reached by iMessage at:
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Take care,
    BobbyD

  • Can't sign into iMessages or FaceTime on my iPad2

    I'm unable to sign into iMessages or FaceTime on my iPad2. I'm able to sign into all other Apple Apps except those. Could someone assist me on how to rectify this problem?

    If you changed your appleID password, then try this one, which worked for me, after nothing else would. Log out and back in to iTunes on your Mac/PC.
    I had exactly the same problems as above, and no amount of network changes or even a full restore would help.
    Finally, I went back to my PC, launched iTunes, logged OUT of that, then signed in again, this time with the new password.
    Then I had to go back, and properly close Facetime and iMessages and sign in. It worked fine after that.
    (To properly close an application, double click the home button, then hold down on the facetime app logo in the multitasking bar at the bottom, then press the tiny symbol.)
    Best of luck.
