IMessage blocked by apple ID

My iMessage was blocked by the apple ID saying that the log in is invalid however I van freely accces my apple Id account with the same log in. I do not undertand why my chat has been blocked.

Hi,
An Apple ID can be used in iCloud, iTunes/App Store and the iMessages account in Messages and the FaceTime app.
Also in Messages it can be used as an AIM Valid ID.
Most of these tend to be independent of each other.
you can use Different ID is different places.
It make sense to link then the way I have.  iTunes and the App Store access the same Account Details and any funds from redeeming iTunes Cards.
As FaceTime is involved when you try to switch the Video or Audio Chats in the iMessages account then  it make sense these are the same.
However they can be different from each other and do not have to match the iCloud account.
As the Login needs the password for each as well as the ID you do need to change it in each app if you change it for one.
At the time you change you often (should) get pops ups to remind you to change it for all the apps it works for.
There are circumstances where the iMessages server does seem to reject the Mac's use of the Apple ID in the iMessages account.
This is one such error message
If this is the one you had the only fix is to contact Apple Support.
However you may need to speak to a Level 2 person as Level ones are Script Led and try to fit everything into Software or Hardware problems that need Apple Care or for your to pay (ID issues are normally sorted for free).
You might also have seen one of these Error messages.

Items may appear with the Not Delivered sub text error message in the Chat.
You use of the word "Blocked" is throwing me slightly as it is normally used to refer Contacts you have that you have Blocked in the iMessages account on your Mac or the iPhone settings for iMessages, FaceTime or Phone use.

  • Not working imessage!! I can not send imessage than after apple id. There are problems with Apple ?? Thanks!

    Not working imessage!! Credit card and I can not send imessage than after apple id. There are problems with Apple seeverele?? Thanks!
    Before the service reset function. Wait 24 hours to activate imessage.

    go to the settings and turn off imessage
    but that don't change the issue that you will never be able to facetime eachtoher
    the appleID is really meant as the handle that identify you it was not meant to be shared
    but can see that people may want to do not buy apps more then once

  • How to FaceTime and iMessage on multiple apple devices with one iTunes account

    We recently received iPad 2's for Christmas and was looking for some advice on how to FaceTime and iMessage on multiple apple devices with One iTunes Account (Apple Id).  I have created or attached other e-mail addresses to our apple id but do not know how to use them on the new devices.  Our home MacBook Pro uses our main apple id for FaceTime.  The iPads have been setup with the main apple id w/o being able to use FaceTime and iMessage.
    Please Help...
    I appreciate the help and support.

    P and V-
    If you are trying to connect to someone with a different Apple ID, I think all the devices should work, but one at a time.
    The problem is when you try to connect between two with the same Apple ID.  Once the calling device tries to make the connection, it finds the second device to be "busy".  That is where each needs to use a different E-Mail address when setting it up.
    On iOS devices, when you press the Home button to exit an App, the App may still be active in the background, even when the device is sleeping.  If FaceTime or iMessage is merely being active that way, it may be enough to "tie up" the E-Mail address.
    From the Home screen, double click your Home button.  You will see a list of recent Apps along the bottom of the screen.  Press and hold on one of them until they start to wiggle.  You will then see a red minus sign on each.  Pressing the minus sign will remove an App from the list, and stop it from working in the background.  (Click the Home button to stop the wiggling, and again to hide the recent Apps.)

  • How do I remove an old phone number from my macbook imessage. My apple ID does not show the number anymore but I cannot remove it from the imessage accounts. Its driving me mad !

    Can someone please help me to remove an iphone telephone number from my imessage application. I no longer have a phone which I registered on my apple ID as a second phone. I have been on my apple ID and it does not seem to be there but cannot remove it from imessage, which still has it as an option to connect to. I am concerned that someone else who inherite this old phone will see my messages if I accidentally enable it again. I have read and re-read various postings and tried all options given but no luck, the **** thing stays there.....

    Since an iPhone 3G cannot be updated past iOS 4.2.1...the end of the line for that model iPhone...you can't do what you want, so there's nothing to be fearful of.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
