Cant sign in to Messages

I have a brand-new installation of ML and I can't use Messages.
I have googled around and the tips say check the hosts file, mine is fine, because once again just installed ML about 2 weeks ago.
Why apple? Why? It works on my iPhone no problem, but put it on the computer is becoming a nightmare!
Also, now that I am on the network 3/Drei, iMessage has a new phone number registered. I do not know if that has any affect, but thats the only thing that has changed since I left America.

Have you try to setup new user account and see if this is also happening?
Boot to safe mode (turn on computer and imiedietly press and hold shift button and release only when on the screen will be apple logo and progress bar underneath) and try again.
If you have any Adobe apps like Photoshop, Elements etc. they tend to add lines to /etc/hosts file and this can cause the problem that you have it.
You can check your hosts file by running this in terminal:
cat /etc/hosts

    Ensure you have an active Internet connection.
    Verify that you are using a valid Apple ID at myinfo.apple.com. You can also create an Apple ID or reset your password from this webpage.
    Ensure that your date, time, and time zone are set correctly. If your country has recently made a daylight saving time (DST) change, it may be necessary to manually set the time zone to one that matches your local time.
    Check that your email address is verified in Settings > Messages > Receive At.
    If Settings > Messages > Receive At shows your email status as "verifying," follow the instructions in the verification email that was sent to complete the process.
    Toggle iMessage off and on in Settings > Messages.

    Hold Sleep and Home buttons for 10 seconds until the device restarts, so you will be able to use the iPad again.
    It will try to make a backup every time your iPad is plugged to the charger and connected to a network. To prevent that this message appears soon, open Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup, and choose Backup Now

  • TS1459 i cant sign in my apple id after verifying email address

    i cant sign in my apple id

    You need to do as the message tells you and log into your account and 'review' it, which will probably mean that you will have to enter payment details - only you can 'fix' it, we are fellow users here on these forums.
    Unless the instructions on this page are followed when creating an account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    then credit card details will need to be entered before the account can be used to download any item from the store.
