Why can't I sign into iMessage using my Apple ID?

I have just created a new Apple ID so that I can use iMessages across my devices without receiving my wife's messages.
The ID must be set up okay as I have logged into this community and posted this question with it. I have done the e-mail verification as well.
How ever, if I try to log into iMessage, I get an error saying 'Incorrect Apple ID or password'. Can anyone tell me what is going wrong please, because this is driving me nuts!
Cheers,
Dave

Update: I have also tried on an iPhone and I got the same result. It's as if something needs to be enabled to allow an apple ID to work on iMessage, but I cannot see any setting...

Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old

IMessage on ML - "Could not sign into iMessage. Please check network settings and try again"

i came across an issue when signing into iMessage with an Apple ID on Mac.
i had been experiencing the "Could not sign into iMessage. Please check network setting and try again" error for iMessage issue since installing Mountain Lion. i finally solved my problem after talking to the Apple Tech Support team.
Here's the steps:
1. Shut down laptop.
2. Switch on laptop again. immediately hold down the left "SHIFT" key until u get into the log in screen. By doing this, ur laptop will be in "Safe Boot" mode.
3. Sign into iMessage using Apple ID. (i was able to sign into iMessage for the first time on my Mac since getting ML)
4. Shut down laptop again.
5. This time switch laptop on normally.
6. You should be able to use iMessage normally.
in addition, make sure the boxes for date & time and timezone are ticked to be set automatically.
Hope this is helpful for users experiencing the same issue i had. it did for me!
Cheers

Okay,
let me add my story to this thread.
Brand spanking MBA, Mountain Lion.......logged into Imessage 1st thing, no prob.
Then, after a few weeks; in the middle of a chat....the name of the other person turned red and my sent messages received a red dot as they were not sent. I checked with the other person.
I couldn`t recieive any messages either, not from any contact.
I logged out, and I couldn`t log in anymore.
I get a yellow triangle saying something like "error while logging in, try again later".
I tried again and again later........
I seeked help on this forum and a user helped me initially.
I re-installed the whole Mountain Lion, a process that I don`t care to repeat too often.
That fixed it for a while, but yesterday the same thing happened.
In the middle of a chat....the red name, the red dots......well, you get the picture.
I tried, to no avail:
# to log in after reseting the PRAM
# boot up and log in whilst in SAVE mode. It will NOT log in, same problem
# to log in after deleting all Imessages and Facetime files in Library/Preferences
# to log in with my wife`s Apple ID, or any ID really.
What did work was logging in with my ID on my wife`s Ipad, no worries.
My account is Yahoo, and don`t seem to be the problem.
Please, any suggestions welcome.
I have urged Apple politley to give us a fix at:

I upgraded to the new iphone operating system and now i can sign into imessage

I just updated to the new operating system for my iphone 4s but now I cant sign into imessage as it always says my network connection is not good but I am using the network for the other apps

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you also have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

I want to eliminate an autofill choice that pops up when I sign into yahoo using the Firefox browser. I tried yahoo help which said hover over the unwanted line and press delete, but that did not work. I am using a Mac if that makes a difference.

"An error occurred during activation. Try again." Why can I not sign into imessage?

Hi,
You stated earlier that you had already deleted the "madrid" .plist with no effect.
Can I check you did this with the app closed down or at least restarted the app straight afterwards ?
If you did that close the app if open and access the ~/Library/Preferences folder again.
This time delete com.apple.imessage.bag.plist
This item stores the Apple server used for your Login to the iMessages server and contains a date/time reference.
Restarting the app after deleting this file will make it reconnect with the iMessages servers in a fresh manner which my solve things.
It may sort out any date/time issues with the stored date.
Messages is one of the app that Apple have "Sandboxed".
This means that some of it's operations are held away from other apps to prevent one app bringing down several others.
This is turn means that the route or path used by the app to Read and Write to the various .plists is different to the direct placing in ~/Library/Preferences.
The Path is ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iChat/Data/Library/Preferences
Mostly the items in here are then Aliases that point to the actual originals in ~/Library/Preferences. However there are exceptions.
You can copy and paste the Path above in to the Finder > Go Menu > Go to Folder dialogue box to access this folder.
Once there use the Finder's View Menu > Show Path Bar.
This adds a collection of folders across the bottom of the Finder window.
Right click on the Preferences folder at the right hand list of the Path.
Chose the Get Info option.
In the Info panel scroll to the Bottom.
Your Shortname should appear (with (Me) as well) and you should have Read and Write Permissions
If you highlight this and then use the Cogwheel type iCon it should reveal you shortname again but in Greyed out form which mean you Own the File/folder
Repeat this for each containing folder until the Library item on the left (you don't need to do the Little House icon one)
You should have Read an Write Permissions and Own all of them.
Can you confirm this ?

Trying to sign into iMessage on my macbook pro is says to check my network connection. What do I need to do?

What do I need to do to be able to sign into imessage without getting the error to check my network connection?

Hi,
The DNS server needs an external one listed.
You should be able to access your router and it in turn should show you the ones it can "see" at the ISP end.
You can either list these or add Public ones
Some IP address are reserved for LAN networks.
These include IP starting 192.168.x.x which means you would have to have DNS database on the device that is at the 192 address.
This can mean you computer cannot resolve where the server it needs is.
The most a local device might be doing is listing the local devices and their IPs
Mac User Login.
In System Preferences > User and Groups you will see a list of all the accounts created on your Mac.
This may only be one or you may have other people you have set up accounts for.
Some people Enable the Guest account and use that for testing.
AS you can see from the pic I created and Account called "Test Account".
I Log out of "Ralph" and into the test one to actually different things now and then.
I and suggesting you create an account if you have not already done so and use the same Apple ID to set up Messages there.
This stores it's own set of .plists and the Keychain item needed.
If the app works here then it will be something within the .plists or Keychain for your normal login (mac User account) or the app will not work there either in which case a Restore of some kind will be the best option.

Why can't i sign into iMessage or FaceTime?

why cant i sign into imessage or facetime?

I'm also having the same issue. I have an iPhone 5, upgraded to iOS 7, no issues. FaceTime and iMessage work like a charm. Also have an Pad 4th gen, upgraded to iOS 7, and everything except FaceTime and iMessage work. Both were working before the upgrade. Using the same Apple ID and password on both, just like before. Date/Time set to automatic. Tried over WiFi and LTE, changed DNS entries, tried tons of other feature combinations. No luck yet.
Any suggestions?

Having trouble signing into Imessage?

If you have tried all the tips from other users try going into your date and time settings and checking the box to set time date/time automatically. This worked for me and a couple others as well.

Hello Diane Smiley,
The steps detailed below can help resolve this error and get your signed into iMessage.
If you see "Could not sign in, please check your network connection and try again" when signing in to your Apple ID
To resolve this issue, follow these steps.
Update to the latest version of iOS.
Verify that you have a data connection by going to www.apple.com in Safari. You can complete Apple ID activation using Wi-Fi or a cellular data connection. If you need help connecting to Wi-Fi, follow these steps.
If you're using Wi-Fi, make sure that your local Wi-Fi network is using the recommended Wi-Fi settings.
Sign in to your account and ensure that the primary email address and alternate e-mail addresses have been verified. If verification is pending, follow the instructions in the email Apple sent to that email address to complete verification. Or remove the e-mail addresses from the account.
If your Apple ID isn't an email address, you can change it. The Apple ID that you're using to activate FaceTime or iMessage must be an email address. Find more information on how to change your Apple ID.
Tap Settings > General > Date & Time. Make sure that your iPhone is set to the correct time zone. If Set Automatically is on but the wrong time zone appears, turn Set Automatically off and choose the correct time zone, date, and time.
Enable iMessage and FaceTime while connected to a different Wi-Fi network (in a different location) if a cellular data connection is not available.

I am trying to sign into iMessage. Error--Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again.

I am trying to sign into iMessage. Error--Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again.

Any other thoughts, mario49?
I've no trouble connecting to or using iMessage on my iPhone or my iPad; and no trouble accessing iTunes, the iTunes Store, the (iOS) App Store from my iOS devices, the (OS X) App Store from my MBP. So, my Apple ID is still functioning just fine, thank you very much and my network connection is not an issue.
My hosts file has not been tampered with, and I'm not blocked by any firewalls--the failures occur where ever I am.
This issue has been happening only for the last 2 days, but I'm completely locked out of Messages from my MBP.
So, what's the deal?

I cant sign into iMessage using my Mac, Help me please!
