Cannot log in to iMessage

just downloaded Mountain Lion. Now I can't get iMessage or Facetime working on my MacBook Pro.

Has anybody found a fix for the login problem?
I can open the iMessge app on my Macbook Air, but since upgrading to Mountain Lion the option to login remains "greyed out".

I cannot log into my iMessage account from my macbook pro,while i could login from other devices. What could be the issue?

i cannot log into my iMessage account from my macbook pro. but is able to login from other devices. I had to replace my logic board an year ago, could this create a problem?

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ About This Mac
Below the "OS X" legend in the window that opens, the OS version appears. Click the version line twice to display the serial number. If the number is missing or invalid according to this web form, take the machine to an Apple Store or other authorized service center to have the problem corrected.

Cannot log in to iMessage w/ iOS 5

I have been trying to log into iMessage in the Settings app (under Messages), but after entering my Apple ID and password, I get the message that my iPhone 4 can't establish a login.
Funny thing is, my phone has logged into iCloud under the same Apple ID, and mail and syncing works. Why is iMessage being problematic? Anyone else have the same problem?
Who can I contact at Apple with regards to Apple ID issues? I can't seem to find this out either.
Thanks for any pointers.

Cannot log in imessage in my ipad

I cannot log in imessage in my mini ipad. Does anyone know why?

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

I can still access the internet. I can still log into my iCloud. I reset my network settings and restored my iPad twice already. I tried all the stuff I could find on YouTube to include changing my DNS setting to 8.8.8.8 I don’t know why I can’t log on. I bought the iPad in Germany and it worked. When I came back to Turkey where I live it worked. I took a trip to the states in December and it worked. Now that I’m back in Turkey, I can’t even log on. For both the facetime and imessage I get a message that says “ Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again. I tried to all the help line twice and they couldn’t even help me. I just bought this in November and don’t know why it’s not working……….Help if you can. Thanks for the response.

Cannot log into iMessage on iPad

Hi,
Strange thing happening: I cannot log into iMessage using my appleid. I can use this same appleid to
- buy apps on this very same ipad
- sign in to iMessage on my iPhone (ios6) or mac (mavericks).
The error my Ipad gives me is username / password not correct
This is an ipad 2 16Gbyte 7.1.1.
I tried to restart my ipad, restarted the iMessage app serveral times...
Any idea ?!
RUdi

Tried all that.
It is really weird, as the ipad having the issues is on the same network as the mac that works.
the network (internet connectivity) just works (can surf, and buy apps (with the samen uid/pwd
as appleID)
The errormessage tells me that the username / password combination is wrong, nothing
else, which is really weird. (really sure I have the correct UID/pwd ! (the one that works on
the mac))
the ipad is a wifi only one.

Cannot log into iMessage or FaceTime it says an error has occured during activation

i could not send or receive iMessage would not let me log in to iMessage or FaceTime it says an error has occured during activation.

Hi Cam-Fox22,
I have had this problem and tried everything suggested without success until last night. I took the plunge and did a Factory reset which cured the problem. Of course you must do a back up to iTunes first. I connected the iPad to my PC via a cable and then loaded iTunes. Log in to the account associated with your iPad and then carry out a backup of your iPad including apps and purchases. Then hit reset option near the top of the page and hit again when asked if sure. It takes a while to download the software but eventually it wiped the iPad and loaded it with fresh software. Keep your iPad connected and then restore from back-up when given that option. When it is all finished you will have your iPad back just as it was before you started but with iMessage and Facetime both working again.
Good Luck John

Cannot log into iMessage or FaceTime it says an error has occured

iimessage was not delivering so tried to log back into iMessage and facetime but it tells me an error has occured during activation and to try again

Hello meganatherton2000,
Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
It appears that you get an error when trying to activate iMessage and FaceTime on your iPad mini.
You mentioned that you signed out of iMessage and FaceTime because messages were not delivering. Be sure to restart your iPad mini before trying to sign back in to iMessages or FaceTime, as mentioned in this article:
If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime - Apple Support
Restart your device.
If this issue continues and iMessage can't be activated for more than an hour, the article above suggests contacting Apple Support:
Still not activated after an hour?
It might take a few minutes to activate iMessage and FaceTime. If you've waited more than an hour, try these steps:
Make sure that your device has the latest version of iOS.
If you're using an iPhone, contact your carrier to make sure that you can receive SMS messages.
Contact Apple Support.
Sincerely,
Jeremy

Email address cannot be used for iMessage

Just set up an icloud email address for my daughter. I want her to be able to use that icloud email address to send iMessages to me or her mother using our iPads and iPhones.
I set up the icloud email address for her with no problem and am able to e-mail her with it and she is able to send emails back to me with it.
Went into Settings>Messages>Add Another Email. I typed in the icloud email address I set up for her and received the following error message:
"This email address cannot be used for iMessage."
I do not know why I received this error message. The icloud email account was set up.
I also went into the Messages app on my phone and sent a iMessage to the iCloud e-mail account and received a response that the message was delivered and Read!
If anyone has dealt with this issue before, please let me know what you think. Thank you!
Joe

So if I'm reading this right, you cannot assign multiple Apple IDs to iMessage on the same device? You have to log out of the first in order to use the second?
If this is true, does this work device to device? In other words, if she has access to an iPad and an iPhone, could you allow the iPhone to message and FaceTime through my daugther's new icloud email while the iPhone is still assigned to her mother's e-mail?
Or, is there a way to allow multiple apple IDs to iMessage and FaceTime on a sinle device WITHOUT having to disable one?
Thanks for the previous fast response and the future help.
Joe
