I can't sign in to my messages app on my mac.

It keeps giving me this error "Messages can’t log in to (account) because your login ID or password is incorrect."

Hi,
On your Mac.
Messages can sign in to AIM, Jabber, Yahoo, iMessages and Bonjour and will need a password for the first 4.
In the case of the AIM account you could be using an Apple ID ending in either @mac.com, @me.com or @icloud.com and in this case the password needs to be 16 characters or less.
Google Mail IDs can be used for Jabber accounts in Messages (added under Google) but you do have to enable "Talk" at your Google Account settings first.
Similarly the Facebook has to have "Chat" enabled to give you the Facebook Chat ID to set up as a Jabber ID in Messages.
If you are using an email as a Apple ID the password with Apple may be different to the place the emails comes from.
If you have linked it to iCloud you may have been asked to update an @me.com or @icloud.com password which may also effect the original Apple ID password.
You also list iOS 7.0.3 but have not said if this is an the iPhone (or other iOS device) or the Mac.

I can't sign in to my messages or FaceTime with mi apple ID.

I can't sign in to my messages or FaceTime with mi apple ID. I keep getting this message: (Your Apple ID can't be used to set up FaceTime at this time. and it gives me this: Customer Code: 3400-5829-7815.) how do i fix?
<Email Edited by Host>

There is no official public documentation of that alert as far as I know, but apparently it can sometimes mean that the primary or alternate email address is invalid. Search the Web for the phrase "My Apple ID." The top hit should be an Apple web page with that title. I'm not giving a direct link because such links are never to be trusted. Sign in and verify the ID.
Otherwise, do as the alert directs. According to reports, you won't be charged for the support call if you select "Apple ID"—not the hardware model—as the product you're asking about, and cite the "customer code" in the alert as the "validation code" when you speak to the Apple representative. I can't confirm.

Regarding syncing:
What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Does iTunes see the iPod?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
How did you update the iOS? Did you do it via wifi? Via iTunes on the computer?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Does any media now sync to the iPod?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

How can i completely delete message app from my mac?

how can i completely delete the message app from my mac?

As per email.
Hi,
In the Finder (have any window open), Use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
This will show the Library in the Menu, select this.
Navigate to the Preferences folder.
Find the com.apple.ids.service.com.apple.madrid.plist file and drag it to the Trash.
This is the one Messages reads directly to create the Receive At list and, if shown, the Start Conversations From drop down.
If Messages was starting properly and you restarted it at the point you would have to re-enter the Apple ID.
On the iPhone.
Go to Settings > Messages and check the app is ON first.
Then check the Send and Receive Section.
This will always list the iPhone Number as ticked and Greyed out (You can’t edit it).
Having said that I have twice found the Number to be Unchecked (whilst still grey out).
If this is the case go to the Apple ID section and Remove the Apple ID.
This will also remove it from the Send and Receive section (you can’t do it the other way round.)
Once that is done, place the iPhone in Airplane mode to break with the Servers.
After a few minutes take it out of Airplane Mode and return to Setting > Messages
You should see the iPhone Number being Verified. Wait until this is done.
(I would normally suggest sending an iMessage to the Apple ID at this point as it would be the only Active ID on the Mac. And sending a reply)
You can now add the Apple ID back to the iPhone if you wish to use that as well, if you intend to use it.
If not then you way want this site https://selfsolve.apple.com/deregister-imessage
Please stick to one method of asking me (The thread will do for now.)
I am here 3 hours every evening.
I read all the new post regarding email alerts from the boards.
I then filter the Yosemite, Mavericks and iChat Areas using the Contents page and where require Messages or iMessages and deal with unread one.
Posting here at 2.41PM (according to the Time view I have) and then emailing me 11 minutes later seems like you are giving me the hurry up.
In the email and this Post you are not clear if you want Messages to work again.
Removing the com.apple.ichat.plist may help with that. (The Status Message one will not)
You may find checking the Font Book and the AppleGothic Font is the answer.

The message app on my mac book pro says I have 3 new message notifications and I already opened those messages a week ago. How do I get rid of the notification pop up on the app?

Please sign out of all the messaging services you use and sign back in. If there's no change, log out or restart the computer.

What version of OS X do you have? Messages requires 10.8. Previously it was iChat (but does not have iMessage capability to send texts to an iOS device).

Can't sign back in to Messages or FaceTime

I have an iPad Air (128 GB) running IOS 8.1.2. It recently signed itself out of Messages and FaceTime. Now when trying to sign back in an error message of "An error occurred during activation. Try again." taking me back to the sign in screen. I've reloaded the current version of IOS, no help. I've reset the settings numerous time, no help. Any other suggestions?

I previously tried all those suggestions with the exception of turning off FaceTime and messages as the button to turn on/off is not displayed in settings, no luck. My iPad is wifi only so I only use email address for FaceTime and messages. I also have a 5th gen iPod and both Messages and FaceTime work fine on it. Was considering delete and reinstalling the email addresses on the iPad but don't see how that would have any effect as email works fine and none of that info has changed from the previously working condition to the now not working issue.

Thanks for your help!

I can't sign in with the YouTube app that comes with my iPhone?

For some reason I can't sign into YouTube using the preinstalled app on my iPhone 4. I can sign in okay with Safari. Any ideas. I've tried the 2 step verification setup with Google but either I'm not signing in with the special password correctly or it's not working.

Try linking my youtube acct to your gmail. I log in now with my gmail user name and gmail password,
or try this

Hope this helps.

Where Can I find activity from the messaging app?

If using the messaging app on smartphone where is this activity stored at? Anywhere online? Is this the same as text?

Texts sent/received using the stock messages app are stored on the phone; Account Owners can view text logs for the past 90 days via their on-line My Verizon account.
If texts are being sent/received using the Verizon Messages app, then the content can also be viewed for the past 90 days via that phone line's My Verizon account.

I see a message in notification center but can't read it in the message app because it is not here.

Just "received" a message from a friend but i can't see it in the message application. There is the red "1" digit upon the message icon and i see the message in the notification center so i don't understand how to solve the problem.
Cheers.

The next steps in user troubleshooting are a restore from backup, and if necessary a restore as a new device, not from a backup. Perform what is necessary.

Can't sign into my Apple Youtube app (the app that Safari links to when you click on a Youtube video). Ive tried the 2 step verification method and tried signing in with my gmail and the password given for the app- doesnt work? What do I do?

Ive tried followinf a number of posts on using the 2 step verification method- none of it works. Please I need help with this, thanks.

Also forgot to mention- i can log in with Google's Youtube app- the problem is Safari doesnt link to this app. So if anyone knows how to get Safari to link to Google's Youtube app youd also solve this problem for me.
