IMessage, can't connect to server via id

Hi
For several days now I try to connect to iMessages from my MacAir. Each time I try to log-on via my apple-id I get an error message stating that there is a server issue and I should try later. I'm well able to connect to iMessages via my iPad. Any thoughts?
Thanks

I think something is up at apple.
I'm still not able to connect to iMessages via my MA. Although I have the correct password I tried to change it via iMessages which directs me to iforgot.apple.com. If I chose to change it via my email address I do not get an email with the corresponding link to do so. It is not in the spam either.
Nobody experiences the same problem?

  • Can't connect to server via apple+k

    If i try and connect to another machine via GO>CONNECT TO SERVER I get the beachball of death which spins forever until I force quit finder.
    I have created a new user account and if i try the same it works perfectly, which suggests to me a file/preference has corrupted.
    Does anybody have an idea what files may be corrupt and need deleting?
    Thank you

    Managed to sort it myself.
    Moved the Library folder from 'Username'>Library onto my desktop and logged out of the dodgy account.
    Logged in again and a new Library folder was created. Apple+k then worked.
    I then copied the old files into the new folder in batches of 20, logged out then in again and kept trying Apple+k.
    I put all the files back,logging out then in every time, ensuring the file I was copying overwrote the new file.
    After I had copied all the files I rebooted and upon restart Apple+k worked.
    I have no idea what the actual corrupt file was, but at least other people with the same problem now have a method of getting back to normal.

  • Since updating to Leopard can't connect to server via internet

    Since updating our server to Leopard I haven't been able to connect to it via the internet from home. Any ideas? Says verification failed when I try to re-add it. Ports 3283 and 5900 are open at both ends.
    Edit: I just managed to access it using the root account. Any ideas why it's not working with the other admin accounts via the internet (they work when I'm local)?

    It appears that the adding a user to the "allow access for" list corresponds to adding group membership, in the group "com.apple.access_ssh".
    So, one way of brute-forcing a user into this list would be to add it to the group. One way of doing this at the command-line:
    sudo dscl . append /Groups/com.apple.access_ssh GroupMembership whatever-my-admin-account-is-called
    This will require a password and only work for people with sudo permission, natch.
    CAVEATS:
    1) I have no idea what you mean when you say "local" users. What distinguishes the "local" users from the others?
    2) I do not know where the OS stores the information about whether or not the "All Users" radio button is checked. I just checked to see whether checking this box adds all users to the com.apple.access_ssh group, and I confirmed that it does not.

  • IMessage can't connect to server

    Hey,
    since I've made the update to OS X 10.8.2 iMessage doesn't work.
    Whenever I wanna log in it comes an error message: "the server announces an error to the processing of the request"
    I've already called the Apple Support Team but they couldn't help me.
    Do you have any ideas?
    Thank you in advance.

  • Earthlink Servers -- "can't connect to server"

    Recently (the last couple of weeks) Safari have been displaying the message "can't connect to server" when trying to access certain pages.
    Here are the particulars:
    This only happens with Safari, not with any other browser (netscape, firefox, explorer) on my Mac or my PC.
    The problem is intermittent -- sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Both times when I've called apple tech support (and they tried to reproduce the problem, it was working)
    The problem only exists with Earthlink's homepages ...any page that has the url "home.earthlink.net/~whatever. So this rules out any particular page or site ...the problems (for me) seems confined to Earthlink homepage servers.
    This happens whether logged on via dial-up, or using DSL ethernet (these two are via my isp, earthlink) ...or when using my neighbor's wireless connection via Comcast. So the problem is not unique to the ISP.
    Here's the puzzling part. When the problem does exist, I can access the page by typing www. in from of the home.earthlink.... and the page loads. When the problem does not exits and the www. is placed in front of the url, Safari displays the "can't connect to server" message (???).
    Also, during these intermittent periods when it doesn't work, any other pages I have that call upon graphics with a SRC url of home.earthlink.... the graphics don't display.
    Lastly, my tracking program has shown (1) a significant drop in the pages accessed with Safari, (2) the pages that are accessed with Safari are occasionally accessed with the www.home.earthlink.... url, so this is obviously happening to other safari users.
    For my part, I've done all the usual stuff, checked here for similar reports, reset Safari and trashed all the prefs. No changes.
    Apple tech seems to think this is an Earthlink Server problem. Earthlink tech acknowledges no such problem and feels it's Safari's problem. ...and I'm caught in the middle Hrmpf!!!
    Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
    I'm using OS 10.3.9 with Safari 1.3.2
    "home.earthlink.net/~skinesscentuals" -- one of the affected sites
    iBook G4 1.33 w/Mac OS X (10.3.9) w/768 MB    
    Dell Pent III w/WinXP (SP2) w384 MB

    Let's try it the other way around. Open Network Preferences and open the lock.
    Set up a new location, I call it "verizon" because the DNS nums will be theirs, available to all. Enter as 2 separate lines
    4.2.2.2
    4.2.2.1
    Proxies have been a problem so make sure you have none unless you really need them.
    Apply now. Good luck.
    Do a forum search on "open dns" for 2 more servers to get their nums. I can't see them as that is what I am currently running and don't want to mess with it.

  • Can't connect to ichat via gmail account

    Hi!
    I can't connect to ichat via gmail account.I created a new account via Preferences window in ichat settings but still can't do it. A pop-up window is shown and it asks to enter a password as ichat cannot log in on my gmail account.I know that i enter a correct password.  has anubody such a problem? how can i find out if it is a problem with the password, or my account name.

    Hi,
    1) The Google Talk option needs to be Enabled in your Google settings.
    2) The name (ID) you enter in Messages or iChat needs to be exactly as you see it when you are logged in to the Google Mail web page.
    (there is a difference between @gmail.com and @googlemail.com IDs)
    3) If you are using the Specific App password method you need to correct password.
    4) In the server Settings (App Menu > Preferences > Accounts > Google Account > Server Settings) try setting port 443 if the 5223 one is not working.

  • Can't connect to internet via MacBook Pro to Airport Extreme

    I can't connect to internet via MacBook Pro to Airport Extreme. I reset AE and modem (power down and back up again). Some computers on my home network will connect fine and others won't. The ones that won't don't populate the DNS server or the Search Domains. AE shows up on all the machines. I have one computer also connect to AE via ethernet and it has the same symptoms. Why do some Macs connect and others don't. Even when I get them to connect when I shutdown or put in sleep mode over night I lose the internet connection and have to start all over. Very frustrating.

    Regrettably no replies. I have struggled with this for days with no success and I have given up on the Airport Extreme. I have found several other Forum posts with very similar problems and no one seems to have a solution to this. It seems other wireless routers work better than the Apple product. I was able to get my old Linksys wireless router reset and it is set up and working well. The Linksys router does populate the DNS servers and domains where as the AE does not. Apple engineers should look into this. If I am mistaken and there is a fix for this someone please let me know, otherwise my AE will probably appear on Ebay very soon.

  • Safari and Youtube can't connect to server

    Safari and Youtube can't connect to server but I can use iTunes online store. Isn't that strange? Any ideas why?
    I use static ip-adresses on my home network with a WEP 128bit security. I have entered all configuration that I enter under tcp/ip properties on my but there is one property on the touch that I don't recognise from my PC and that is someting that translated could be named "Search Domains". It's the last property under the static wireless config tab.

    I have no idea what I am doing... but once i changed the proxy (HTTP) my life is just miserable, no sites open, like its really annoying. Do you know how to fix it.

  • I can't update my ipod. When I check for updates it says "can't connect to server"(despite internet connection being fine). Also, when I try and update software it starts then stops after 2 seconds

    I can't update my Ipod. When I check for updates it says "can't connect to server" despite internet connection being fine. When I receive a software update message;I say install and it starts updating then stops after 2 seconds. Help! (It is a 3rd gen IPod touch(I think)). Presumably as a result of this, I have tried to put my library onto my gf's new iPod touch and it just charges it..doesn't download my library onto the touch).

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - For one user uninstalling/reinstalling iTunes resolved the problem
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem
