I recently changed my apple ID password, now iMessages doesn't work!!

I recently changed my apple ID password, I have resigned into my account on my iPhone and Macbook, but it still says its "inactive", what's the problem? There's no problems when resigning in, when i'm on my Macbook Pro on iMessages, i go on accounts, "Enable this account" and the tick box is in grey so unclickable, and there is the apple loading circle thing next to it. It's been like this for 2 days now...

Have you enabled iMessage on your iphone?
Settings -> Messages -> Turn iMessage on

  • HT5538 I changed my apple ID and now iMessages won't work

    I recently changed my Apple ID and now iMessages won't work on my Mac. It will still work on my iPhone and iPad, but they will not communicate with my Mac. None of the messages I try to send from my Mac will go through.

    HI,
    This is a step up from the previous suggestion.
    Make the Finder the "front" app.
    Use the Go Menu whilst holding down the ALT key.
    Select the Library that appears in the Menu list.
    Navigate to Preferences.
    Find com.apple.imservice.imesssages.plist and drag it to the Trash.
    Restart the app.
    You will most likely have to re-enter the Apple ID
    If that does not work delete the com.apple.imessages.bag.plist  (this one holds the server it should be trying rather).
    Again Restart the app.

    Hello Vaidas Vaidas,
    It sounds like you are noticing someone else is accessing your Clash of Clans data by playing the game and you have tried to reset your Apple ID password. If you are following the steps outlined in this article:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5624
    What is preventing you from changing your password? Any error messages or prompts?
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • I recently changed my Apple ID password, but it does not work on iCloud. How can I fix this?

    Yesterday I changed my Apple ID password. Now iCloud keeps popping up now and then telling me to log in. And I enter the new password and it doesn't work! I am 100% sure that I am entering the password correctly. That popping up of iCloud is so annoying

    Try to:
    1) Login on www.icloud.com and see if it works from there
    2) Remove you iCloud account from the Mac, and readd it
    3) Reset your password again: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617

    Hi helenbeach,
    If you've recently made changes to your Apple ID, you may need to update or log out/log back in to some of the related services for those changes to take effect. You may find the following article helpful:

  • I recently changed my apple id password and I was prompted to enter the new password onto icloud on my mac. The problem is whenever i try to press enter or forgot password or sign out or pretty much anything, it just makes a sound.

    It won't let me do anything, I can even try to minimize the window. I tried shutting down my computer and it still pops up. Also, because of this, I can't access anything else in my system preferences. Help!

    Hello, I realize this solution is long overdue however I'm posting my solution to help others.  I JUST had the exact same problem.  I recently changed my apple ID password.  Everything accepted the new password except my MAC.  When I booted up my Macbook pro, a message would pop up saying "cannot Back my MAC."  Something like that.  Then I would be prompted, within system preferences, to enter my password.  Both my new and old passwords wouldn't work.  I couldn't sign out, seek help, click on "forget" and every time I tried something, it would make the "noise" and just shake the message box. 
    After several failed attempts to fix based on forum suggestions and google research, I stumbled upon a solution myself.  I went into iCal, Address Book, and Mail and manually deleted iCloud from each of these.  Then I added iCloud back to each of them, using my new password, and the verification worked!!  I rebooted my MAC and the same message came up "cannot Back my MAC."  I was once again prompted to enter my apple ID password and the new password was accepted!!  I rebooted one more time to be sure.  Everything was synced.
    I hope this helps someone else out there.  Very frustrating when something so simple, like a password change, can wreak so much havoc!!!

  • I have an iphone 4 and recently changed my apple id password. I went through the verification successfully. For some reason, I can't sign into the app store on my iphone using my apple id and password.

  • I changed my Apple ID password now my iPad Messages does not recognize new password

    I changed my Apple ID password now my iPad Messages does not recognize the new password.  How can I correct this problem?

    Do you have more than one apple ID? It sounds like you may be getting 2 apple IDs passwords crossed or something.
    Try signing in at appleid.apple.com and see if you can sign in there with your new password... do this on a pc or mac... if you can sign in there then it's not the password but the device where you need to recheck your settings/information... if you can't sign in then you need to change your password again and sign out and back in on your device.

  • I've changed my ID mail and now iCloud doesn't work on iPhone

    I've changed my ID mail and now iCloud doesn't work. Everything is working, even if I access to iCloud from Safari (with my new ID) but i have the problem on my iPhone and iPad.
    It keeps asking my password and the mail is the one i had before, it's like it didn't change. I've tried both passwords, old and new and no solution. I've changed twice the password thinking it would be the problem and still isn't working.
    So now I can't do anything because there's no password to access so i can't even delete my iCloud account.
    Is there anything i can do to make it work? It's weird that everything works except this.
    Thanks
    P.S.: Sorry for my english, it's not very good.

    Alright, please follow these steps in order to get it working properly again.
    Please change your Apple ID back to your old email address (that you used as Apple ID before) here: http://appleid.apple.com
    Then go to all your devices - iPhones, iPads, Mac etc. - ("Settings > iCloud") and delete your iCloud account from this devices (+ turn off Find My iPhone, but I guess it will ask you that anyway)
    After that go back to http://appleid.apple.com sign in again, and now change your Apple ID again to your new email address.
    Finally, set up your iCloud account on all your devices again.
    Now, everything should working properly again.

    uninstall pse 10 (properly using the adobe uninstaller).
    clean - Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    then try reinstalling using the adobe installation file(s).

  • Changed Apple ID password, now iMessage for iPad will not work

    Hey there,
    I changed my Apple ID password this morning but when I tried to use iMessage on my iPad this evening - and was prompted for the new password - iMessage would no longer work. My Apple ID and my iMessage email addresses are different and, although I would like to believe this is the problem, the fact is the messages are being sent to my email inbox rather than to my iPad iMessage app. Further, the "send" button is disabled when I try to send anything from the iPad.
    Any ideas?

    Also, I just tried FaceTime and that is also not working.
    The email address I would like to use appears in the list of email addresses in Settings>iMessage, but it is greyed out so I cannot access it. My apple id keeps appearing there despite my constant clicking on "forget this address." I tried using my apple id as the default email address but even that will not work.
    I'm about ready to throw all things iDevice at a wall! 

  • I changed my main email on my apple ID and now it doesn't work and still uses my old one and with my new and old email my password doesn't work

    I changed my main email on my apple ID now when I try sign in with the new email it doesn't work and neither does my old one so I don't know what happened, any help?... I made a new apple ID and on my iPod it tries to use my old one and I can't change it to my new apple ID I've gone on to settings and iTunes and App Store and changed it to my new apple Id yet when I buy apps or try update them it uses my old apple ID I don't know what to do any help??

    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.
    If you can't log into Settings>iTunes and App stores with your new ID them mean there is a problem. Try restting the password and try to sign in again.

    Can you sign in with the new ID on your computer?
