Got an iPhone 5, suddenly Messages doesn't work on ML

I just got an iPhone 5 today and set it up, iMessage works perfectly fine. I had an iPhone 4 before that and had messages working seemlessly with mountain lion. All the sudden, my message app stops working on my macbook and this is really bothering me. What happens is, it keeps asking me to input my password (which it has never done before and I haven't changed it). Finally, it will stop and it says that the account is active under preferences, but then all of my imessage contacts will come up as not being registered (their names are in red). If i toggle it on/off, then it says that my account is inactive... I tried two things i saw in the discussions here: i went to keychain access and deleted the stuff for imessge and i looked in my hosts file but I did not have the extra lines to comment out that others seemed to have had. Suggestions please???

Did you change your phone number (doubtful)?
Try setting the account up again on the Mac.
Have you tried Keychain Access First Aid (under the Keychain Access Menu)?

    What happens when you try to facetime those contacts?
    Are those contacts on wifi when you try to facetime them.

  • TS3992 i got problem updating my iphone 3g. my phone doesn't work now. it says no service and can not be activated.beside that it says insert sim even it has sim. please help me.

    i got problem updating my iphone 3g. my phone doesn't work now. it says no service and can not be activated.beside that it says insert sim even it has sim. please help me.

    I have just created this account to tell you that nothing would change if you restored your phone.
    The first NO SIM nuisance happened just a week ago. Nothing had been done to the phone before that. I pressed HOME + POWER buttons to restart the phone and SIM card was successfully recognized as if nothing had happened. Then I had a lucky week, not reminded of this issue at all.
    Today, however, the same problem keeps annoying me. I've used the same method to heal the phone but all I have done seems more like a placebo. So I tried the ultimate solution, restroing it in iTunes.
    Ridicuously, the moment I finished basic setup on the newly restored phone, the same NO SIM CARD INSTALLED message poped up.
    So IMO, it's not what you should do to erase and restore your phone.
    Plus, I called my native carrier and they said no such problems have been submitted. And since my nano SIM card is quite new (three months old), I'm not going to replace it.
    I googled this problem and found something on a Hong Kong webpage. The author of that thread points out that there is a flaw in the SIM card tray that prevents the phone from successfully recognizing SIM cards.
    And I really hope Apple could probe into this issue and give official solutions other than restarting / restoring the phone like an idiot.

  • I got an iPhone 4s but it doesn't have face time , could i download it

    I live in Saudi & I just got the iPhone 4s but it doesn't include face time:( 
    can i install it on the device?????How to do it?????

    No, FaceTime is blocked by your country's government, and it can't be installed - as it's blocked by the serial number it can't be installed by iOS updates either.

  • IPhone sensor ( auto rotate ) Doesn't work !!

    Hello
    I bought an Iphone 4S-16G last week and I understood that on of my Iphone sensor ( auto rotate ) doesn't work it means when I landscape my iphone my messages or photos or in a games doesn't rotate , Now what should I do ?
    I already restored and turned off and turned on and checked rotation option in portrate oriention by double clicking but it didn't work .
    Please Help me .

    oops my bad, you did say exactly that you had tried that. Sorry. Also you already Restored too. Only thing I could add, is to Restore as New iPhone, at end of Restore when prompted Set Up as New iPhone. And then see if better. Anyway, iPhone 4S has full Warranty, make Genius Reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution.

    Brand new iPhone 4 (unlocked), got it activated yesterday, and speakers doesn't work, did restore back to factory settings, not luck, any suggestions. This iPhone was purchased in US, currently in India, will Apple support in India?

    There are many threads on this forum regarding speaker not working issues.  You might try searching them.  Hopefully you'll find the answer you need.
    BTW, the iPhone only has ONE speaker.

    You don't. Since you have an Intel Mac, buy a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.

  • How do I get my music from Media center to my iphone. Itunes won't import the MC music library, and MC won't recognize and synch to the iphone so I can't load playlists from MC to my iphone. Itunes help doesn't work.

    How do I get my music from Media Center to my iphone 4s. Itunes 10.5 won't import the MC music library, and MC won't recognize and synch to the iphone plugged into the USB port so I can't load playlists from MC to my iphone. Itunes help doesn't work.

    Hello and welcome to the support community
    As you know, your iPhone 5 is not compatible with our iBook G4. To get your music in iTunes from your iBook to your iPhone you would need to migrate the music files to a newer intel based Mac. A Mac which has Mac OS X 10.6 or higher installed. Then sync your iPhone 5.
