Cannot login to iMessage and FaceTime

After I installed Avast antivirus I was not able to login to imessage and facetime.
I tried resetting PRAM, booting in safe mode and removing invalid certificates from keychain
when i try to log in the program gives me the following message:
Could not sign in, please check your network and try again
everytime i try to login this message appears in the console
imagent: ApplePushService: Unable to bootstrap_look_up(com.apple.apsd): Unknown service name
I tried removing the com.apple.apsd.plist and restarting the computer but that didnt work either
PS: I already uninstalled Avast (with the provided uninstaller). Also, I can login to my imessage using another macbook in the same network.
I really don't want to reintall the os so any help is greatly appreciated.
Shawn

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
Back up all data.
Quit Facetime and Messages if they're running.
Step 1
Hold down the option key and select
Go ▹ Library
from the Finder menu bar. Move the following items from the Library folder to the Trash (either may not exist):
Caches/com.apple.imfoundation.IMRemoteURLConnectionAgent
Containers/com.apple.FaceTime
Leave the Library folder open. Log out and log back in. Try FaceTime again. If it works now, stop here. Close the Library folder.
Step 2
In the Preferences subfolder, there may be several files having names that begin with any of the following strings:
com.apple.FaceTime
com.apple.imdsmsrecordstore
com.apple.imessage
com.apple.imservice
Move them all to the Desktop. There may also be a file with the name "com.apple.imagent.plist". Move that to the Trash.
Also in the Preferences folder, there's a subfolder named "ByHost". Open it and do the same thing.
Log out and log back in. Test again. This time FaceTime should perform normally, but your settings will be lost. You may be able to put back some of the files you moved to the Desktop in this step. Relaunch and test after each one. Eventually you should find one or more that causes FaceTime to malfunction. Delete those files and recreate whatever settings they contained.
If the issue is still not resolved, quit FaceTime again and put all the items you moved to the Desktop back where they were. You don’t need to replace the items you moved to the Trash. Stop here and post again.
If you later decide that you don’t like the results of steps 2 and 3, you can undo them completely by quitting FaceTime and restoring the items you deleted in those steps from your backup.

  • HT201412 I cannot activate my imessage and facetime and at the same time i cannot receive any notifications on my facebook.

    Hi.I noticed that my imessage and facetime is not working and at the same time i cannot receive any notifications on facebbok.

    Hi,
    To exclude software conflict, i recommend you to make a clean boot and then have a test.
    If this issue still persists, i suggest you re-built all COM ports through registry.
    Locate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\COM Name Arbiter, delete ComDB key, reboot your computer.

  • I can't login on iMessage and FaceTime on my ipad

    For some reason I can't no longer login on my iMessage account and FaceTime. I check my Apple I'd through the manage account and works perfectly fine. So I have iCloud set and working.
    The error message I have is the username or password is incorrect, but as far as I know it should be the same as the one I use for iCloud. So I really don' t know what is going on. Any one can help?

  • Cannot login iMessage and FaceTime with my MacBook

    I was using iMessage and FaceTime with my MacBook.
    One day when I was trying to enter my password, I received the following message: "The server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later". I am trying for a long time to login in, but the same message appears on.

    Hello almenexi,
    Thank you for providing the details of the issue you are experiencing with both FaceTime and iMessage.  The following article addresses the error "There was an error processing registration"  that you are receiving:

  • IMessage and Facetime Not Working - Cannot Log Into Apple ID.

    Hello,
    Some background: iMessage and Facetime are not working. Both applications are saying that I am not typing in the correct password for my Apple ID. Needless to say, the applications are wrong and I am using the correct password.
    Some background:
    1) This is an iPhone 5.
    2) It is running iOS 6.0.2.
    3) I am on Verizon.
    4) I am located in the continental US.
    5) I have a full e-mail address for my Apple ID username.
    6) iMessage and Facetime are both working on my iPad, using the same login information.
    7) All other applications that use Apple ID, such as the App Store, are not having this type of log in issue.
    8) This issue occurs regardless of whether I am connected to wi-fi or just the mobile carrier, or both.
    Troubleshooting I have tried to fix this issue:
    1) I have changed my Apple ID password. This did not work.
    2) I have changed my Apple ID username/email. This did not work.
    3) I have played around with Date/Time setting changes. This did not work.
    4) I have reset all settings. This did not work.
    5) I have tried hard restarts of the phone. This did not work.
    6) I have performed a restore from backup of the phone. This did not work.
    7) I have performed a full factory restore of the phone. This did not work.
    Apple Support is at a total loss on how to fix this. I have now had multiple frustrating phone support sessions with them with zero results. If you do some searching, it appears there is no way that anyone knows of to fix this issue once all the troubleshooting I have listed above has failed. People have had to acquire brand new phones in order for these applications to work again.
    Obviously this is unacceptable.
    There are a lot of smart people on these forums fixing tech issues like this. Anyone have any input?

    randers4, thank you for the suggestions.
    1) I have contacted Verizon and they are not blocking "premium" or 3rd party text messages.
    2) The Apple ID login issue occurs regardless of wi-fi network location, or even if I am not on wi-fi at all. Router settings are irrelevant to this problem.
    3) I have already played around extensively with date and time settings. This did not fix any issues.
    Any other suggestions? I had another call with Apple support and they are of the opinion that I may need to have the phone totally replaced, which is unacceptable unless it is free of charge.

  • Cannot get on iMessage or FaceTime I get this message "FaceTime Activation: Could not sign in.  Please check your network connection and try again

    Cannot get on iMessage or FaceTime I get this message "FaceTime Activation: Could not sign in.  Please check your network connection and try again

    Try something really simple.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Or try this. 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
    Or try this as well. Go to Settings>General>Date and Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure it is set to On.
    @Freckles888 ..... I really doubt that "millions of others" are having this problem. I think that news would be all over the airwaves and Apple would be taking more heat about it that we can imagine.

  • I changed my apple id and everything works fine except message and face time. I cannot reactivate imessage and facetime shows my email to send and receive instead of my mobile number.

    I changed my apple id and everything works fine except message and facetime. I cannot reactivate imessage and facetime is using my email instead of my mobile number. How do I reactivated message and use my mobile number on both applications?

    I apologize. I misread your statement.
    The information that I provided about adding the phone number back to the iPad is valid and should work. Now as for the activation of messages, take a look at these support articles for starters. Hopefully, something in one of these will help.

  • I cannot activate iMessage and Facetime in my iPad and Macbook Pro

    Hi everyone,
    Last month, my iPad Air 3G (ran iOS 7.2) and my Macbook Pro (ran Yosemite OS 10.10), I could use iMessage and Facetime in both of them normally. But after upgrading iPad to 8.3, I can not sign in with my Apple ID on 2 devices anymore. It always has error: 'Could not sign in with your Apple ID. Please check your internet connection" when signing up in iPad and Macbook Pro.
    I tried many ways: reset network, reset device... with iPad but it didn't work. Please help me. Thanks a lot.
    Regards
