Cannot log into account in messages

I have logged into my normal Apple account in order to post this question, but in Messages I get an error about the server having an error in processing the registration, and that I should try later.
I live in NYC, but am in England this week. That may be relavent. As I can't log into the main account, my individual AIM account shows has me having no buddies at all, and my other accounts show all buddies as being offline. But in fact they may be offline, it's only 6:17am on Christmas Day in the US!
Still, it would be nice if I could get my buddy list back for AIM. Any ideas?

Thank you both for the pointer. There was a little more to fix than just the time, but if I had tried that in the first place it probably would have worked. I'll describe what I did, for anyone else who gets the same situation:
My time was set correctly, but not using the automatic setting, because I only saw the US time server available. When I turned on auto setting I was set back to New York time.
I tried to set the time zone, but got a message about needing to turn on location services, so I did that. Once I had turned on that, and the auto time setting, the time became correct again, and it also set the time zone (and even the part of Nottingham that I'm in).
Messages still didn't work, so I restarted. Still I apparenetly had no buddies.
However, amongst my other attempts to fix things I had been trying @mac.com, @me.com, and @icloud.com. All three would let me log in, but none gave me buddies (this was before the time fix). Having got the time right it still failed to work, but that turned out to be because I was still set to @icloud.com. Changing it back to the normal mac.com fixed everything.
Thanks again for the telp.

"CANNOT LOG INTO ACCOUNT AT THIS TIME?"

Hey,
My computer won't allow me to log into my account. Each time it type my password in a pop up window comes up and says "You cannot log into "bkaster" at this time. This started to happen after my battery was knocked out accidentally while the computer was on. When I turned it back on this message came up and it has been coming up ever since. I am a college student and next week is finals week and all my lecture notes are on this computer. PLEASE HELP!!!

Hi bkaster and Welcome to Apple Discussions ...
This just might not be a battery related issue. Since you have a PBookG4 running Leopard, which takes up a huge amount of hard drive space, make sure you have a minimum of 15% free space on the drive. I'm assuming your PBookG4 drive is 40GB? 60GB?
After you try Clea Rees advice, open a Finder window. The amount of free space is displayed at the bottom. You can also view this information by using Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities). Open DU, select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, then look down toward the bottom and you will see:
Capacity and Availability.
It's just a good thing to keep in mind when trouble shooting.

HT204380 cannot log into facetime or messages all preferences are correct

I have a new ipad and cannot log on to factime or the messages. I have reset my apple id and my password. Nothing works any ideas?
All facetime things are checked in the settings area too

Try turning FaceTime off and on in Settings. As for SnapChat, try reinstalling the app or perhaps waiting for the next update on the App Store. I'm not familiar with SnapChat, so that's all I can really give you for the second app.

Cannot log into account, response says store is temporarily unavailable

iTunes support set me several tasks, from basic internet connection on to more complex matters, but after just two exchanges referred me on to Applecare, just as the weekend arrived. I have Applecare but this is too frustrating, as I have wasted 3 days on basic responses which took no account of the details I included in my initial email.
So the problem is this, every time I use my Macbook Air to log into the iTunes store, I get the temporarily unavailable response. I am loogged on fine via iPhone and iPad on the same connection, and the support pages recognise my user name and password. So how do I get back to making urchases on my Macbook?

HT204053 I cannot log into iCloud using my Apple username and password. I keep getting an error message that states "CANNOT SIGN UP - The Apple ID is valid but is not an iCloud account." How do I fix this?

I cannot log into iCloud using my Apple username and password. I keep getting an error message that states "CANNOT SIGN UP - The Apple ID is valid but is not an iCloud account." How do I fix this?

You are getting this message because you are attempting to create an iCloud account on a PC. You can only create iCloud account on an iOS device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) running iOS 5 or higher, or on a Mac running OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher. After creating your account on one of these devices you will then be able to sign into the account on your PC.

Update 10.5.6 Cannot log into POP email account

After the upgrade to 10.5.6 I cannot log into my email account anymore. I get a message saying that the mail server does not recognize user or password. My wife has an account with the same provider and it works, however, when she tried to create a test account with the same information she gets the same behavior. Additionally I cannot see any of the email previously stored locally, the folders are there but they are empty. Any help would be appreciated

PS. We have tried deleting the plist in Preferences and a few other things suggested in this discussion thread already, nothing works.

This issue may be closed.
The correct account information was entered, but the preferences file (com.apple.mail.plist) was freshly saved upon closing Mail, ie., the original, corrupt Mail preferences file was retained, so Mail would not connect to the account.
When I closed Mail and deleted the preference file (com.apple.mail.plist) Mail was then able to connect to my account and download. I was also able to Import email from a previous version of OS X and this mail was imported to an "Import" folder.

Cannot log into BT WiFi Account

Hi,
When i go to log into my account or load up the BT Opene zone page to add the details I keep coming up against log in details.
https://www.btopenzone.com:8443/selfcare/index.htm
I type in my username and password and it just says that it is incorrect? And yet I can log into my BT account, log into here, and everywhere... but I CANNOT log into the bt openzone.
very frustrating to say the least.
Help meeeeee

The log-in details for MyBT and BT WiFi are not necessarily the same. To log in to a BT WiFi hotspot you need your primary email address and password; it's the one you need to access BT Yahoo! Mail. Only a btinternet.com address will do, others such as btopenworld.com will not work. Neither are appropriate for the link you posted as that's for non-BT Broadband customers.
To get to the internet via BT WiFi as a BT BB customer, you need to connect to a hotspot. When you then try to connect to the internet you will be presented with a landing page where you have to confirm that you're a BB customer (the default) and enter your log-in details as above.

Cannot log into my yahoo mail account from my iphone4.

I cannot log into my yahoo mail account from my iphone4. The password does not have any special characters. On my PC there is no problem.
Also cannot configure Add Yahoo mail. I woould get a message, stating "Verification required. Log into your Yahoo! account at www.yahoo.com". when I attempt this I get "Invalid ID/Password".

Tried eveyrhting and this was the way that fixed it for me --
if you are having an issue adding the yahoo mail account on an iphone/ ipad / ipod.
In the app store download the yahoo mail app for iphone (it works on ipads and ipods as well.. but there's only an iphone version). After downloading it - open and sign in. It's likely it will say that your yahoo account is 'locked' due to suspicious activity - follow the prompts to unlock it.
Now add the yahoo account under the ipad mail settings.
It should work in the regular ipad, iphone, ipod mail application now.
Hope this helps

Firefox Sync: I cannot log into my account using the sync key that was given to me and nothing I do seems to fix it. Is there anyway I can "reset" my username? I'd like to reopen an account using my same username as opposed to starting from scratch.

reading through that, it doesn't look like you were given up on Candice. you never replied to StarDeb's last set of questions in that thread. she was probably waiting to hear back from you.
why didn't you reply?

HT2518 I cannot log into transferred migrated information account

I have migrated information from my PC to my new mac by use of the Windows Migration Assistant.
It created a new account for all my migrated information and I cannot log into it. It prompts me to change the password because it is expired and then prompts me to give my old password for the account before entering a new one. However, I have no idea what the "old" password would be. I have tried everything - including the old password from my account on my PC and my password from my account now on my mac and nothing works.
What am I doing wrong?
Note: I am completely new to the mac so please excuse me if this is something obvious.

I don't do Windoze, but understand that you need to log out, then you'll get a prompt to establish a pasword for the new account.

I cannot log into user account with old password after using migration assistant.

I used Migration Assistant to move only my Settings and Users from my Power PC (User name RLE 5) to my Mac Pro. Because of what I have read in these forums I did not migrate applications or and files/folders. I will do that manually. After migrating I tried logging in to my user account RLE 5 on my Mac Pro, but it is telling me I am using the wrong password. I used the same password I used on my Power PC, but with no luck. On my Mac Pro I went into System Preferences>Accounts>RLE 5 account and changed the password. I then rebooted and tried again. No luck.
Can somebody help me with this problem?
Thank you.

What you propose would not solve the problem I am having. I must not have been clear about it. So I will elaborate.
I have a Power PC with 10.5.8. The admin user account name is RLE 5. I need a password to log into my root user account on my Power PC.
Then I bought a used Mac Pro with a clean install of 10.7.5 and no password set up yet for my admin user account. The admin user account name is Mac Pro. When I turn on the computer it opens to my admin user account where I have access to everything.
I used Migrations Assistant to move my Settings and Users from my Power PC to my Mac Pro. That seemed to to successfully.
So I now have four users on my Mac Pro: RLE 5 (the admin user from my Power PC with the password), Mac Pro (my admin user which does not require a password), and two guest user accounts.
I turn on my Mac Pro and it opens to my Mac Pro admin user account. I don't need to sign in. No problem.
I log out of Mac Pro. On my screen are the four user accounts. I click on RLE 5 (which was my admin user account on my Power PC that I migrated over to my Mac Pro) to log into that account and it asks me for a password. I type in the password I used for my Power PC. It keeps telling me it is the incorrect password.
I cannot log into my user account RLE 5 on the Mac Pro. I am being told I have the incorrect password. I've gone to System Preferences>Accounts and changed the password. It doesn't make a difference.
Also I cannot log into the Guest User account that migrated from the Power PC to the Mac Pro for the same reason. I have also tried to change the password for that Guest User account also but with no luck.
Another interesting thing has happened. I decided to give my Mac Pro admin user account a password by going to System Preferences>Accounts. But when I do a test to sign into my admin user account Mac Pro it tells me it is the wrong password. Luckily I can reboot the computer and it opens to my Mac Pro user without asking for a password. But if I log out of Mac Pro and try to then sign back in with the password it tells me it is the incorrect password.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
