Even w/Correct Apple ID and Password, "cannot sign into iMessage"

I don't know what to do. I've perused and perused this forum, but I cannot get it to work again. It was great having it on my Macbook Air and now, it will not let me sign in.
I've changed time zones. I've started on and off. I've tried everything on the iMessage ap itself.
Any suggestions??

You can try to figure out which Apple ID/email address and/or password you used to activate it by going to http://iforgot.apple.com
If you can't, you'll need to contact Apple Account Security with your proof of purchase.

I have the exact same issue. I also tried resetting my password. I can log in to iTunes on my laptop with the new password, on to my iPhone iTunes, but my Apple TV says it cannot recognize my password. I just did an Apple Tv software update a few days ago.
I am able to log in to Netflix on my Apple TV just fine. I did not have to re-enter my password for that.
Very frustrating. I hope Apple can figure this out soon and post a fix.
Thanks for any advice. Cheers.

Was that Apple ID and password the original owner of the iPod? If not, try using the Apple ID and password of the original owner.

You can take a look at this support document for troubleshooting iMessage and FaceTime activation. If you have difficulty activating FaceTime or iMessage - Apple Support
I believe with the iPhone, you need to have a SIM installed, since the activation sends an international SMS to servers in the UK. Check to see what that support document states.

Try contacting Apple for assistance resetting the password by going to https://expresslane.apple.com, then click More Products and Services>Apple ID>Other Apple ID Topics>Lost or forgotten Apple ID password.

Can't set up iCloud at all even though my Apple ID and password are correct

I can log into my iTunes store to download items with my Apple ID and password,
However, when I tried to sign into iCloud, this pop up appears
You can't sign in because your account was disabled for sercurity reasons.
To enable you account, reset your password at iforgot.apple.com.
I reset my password for about 5 times or more, but the same message appears.
Can anyone help me out with this?
Thank you very much.

Try this...
Launch iTunes on your computer.
From the iTunes menu bar click iTunes / Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Click: Reset warnings and Reset cache
Click OK.
Restart the computer and device.
See if you can sign into iCloud.

Go to Settings > Store, touch your Apple ID, log out, then back in with the updated information. Then go to Settings > iCLoud and verify the correct address. Then do the same in Settings > Messages.......Once all all correct, you should be good to go......

My Router Is Definenetely not working right and i cannot sign into it

I really need some help guys! I have a WRT54G V.2 and today we reset our IP address which messes it up. First of all I am not sure how to fix this but i cannot get into my router to do it with instructions. Some people told me i need to update the firmware and i cannot do that either. Anytime I type 192.168.1.1 all I get is this page cannot be displayed. This is extremely annoying and I really need to get my router up and running ASAP!! If anyone has any ideas or can help in anyway I thank you in advance!

HTMLGEEK,
there are 2 things you need to check..
1st - are you getting an ip address?
2nd - can you ping the router?
if you have both then try resetting the router for 30 secs. then after resetting, try accessing the router page again.

HT4759 "You can't sign in because of a server error" message appears when I try log in. I am typing the correct apple id and password. What do I do?

This message appeared even after I downloaded the latest version of iCloud. I am logging from a PC (Windows 8).
