IMessage Could not sign in - Using Mac Pro

Completed the upgrade to Yosemite for laptop. Everything working just fine.
Completed the upgrade to my Mac Pro and iMessage is coming up with an error
"Could not sign in to iMessage.
Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again."
Everything else is working. Connected to the cloud. Connected to FaceTime.
iMessage is the only thing that's glitching.
I've tried logging in using my hotspot connection too to make sure it's not a true network issue.
Anyone else out there having this issue and hoping someone smarter than I resolved it.
I've read in other forums it could be something to do with the DNS so I've included a screenshot of that.
Thanks for any help.

I was having the same issue and called Apple customer support.
They suggested to restart my Mac Pro (early 2009) in safe mode and login back to iMessage, it worked for me!
Turn off your computer.
Turn it back on holding the shift key
You are now on SAFE MODE
Open iMessage and login back on, you will login without any problem!
At this point you can reboot the computer in NORMAL MODE!
Hope it helps!

  • Imessage could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again

    Since I updated yesterday I have been wanting to try Imessage on my Ipod Touch 4G, but I keeo getting this message:
    imessage could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again
    Any ideas? I checked internet it works in other apps, in email and in safari.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    The Apple ID does not have to be an iCloud listed one.
    If you notice in System Preferences > iCloud or Internet Accounts you cannot enable the iCloud account for Messages.
    Linc has posted a Starter Document for you to look at.
    If you have upgraded from Lion then you could have an issue if your Serial Number is not on your Logic/Mother board.
    This should be replaced if the board is replaced through Repair or Refurbishment.
    Use the Apple Menu > About this Mac.
    Click twice on the line that is the Current OS level.
    This will change to the Build Number (Another counting method for the OS) and then to the Serial Number.
    This should of course match the one on the back/base/battery compartment of your Mac.
    Apple uses this to generate the Authorisation tokens for the app (And FaceTime and the Games Center)
    If the Serial Number is Missing you will need to have it installed at an Apple Store or an Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP)

  • Could not sign in using Apple ID. FaceTime and iMessage

    I recently got an iPhone and I cannot sign in iMessage and FaceTime with my Apple ID. It just doesn't happen. I connect ot my home wifi, apps download just fine, nd facebook and skype work beautifully. But when I try to sign in the above mentioned 2 things, I get this message and I quote, "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again."
    Any Advice?

    Solved, Open your router page on your browser and enter your primary dns in your iOS device. It worked then.

  • Can't signing in iMessage , (could not sign in. please check your network connection )

    I has already enter correct apple id and connect to wifi but it still can't sign in to iMessage and faceTime . the notification shown (iMessage Activation . Could not sign in. please check your network connection and try again )

    I GOT IT! I tried all of the other things people suggestions and nothing worked for me. Don't change your DNS.
    I had to back up all of my everything, turn off facetime and iMessage, and reset my entire phone under settings>general>reset>erase all content and settings. back sure you back up contacts, pictures, apps, etc. on iCloud and your apple ID because it will all be gone. then configure your phone at sq. 1, and in the first couple steps you're gonna wanna skip registering your apple ID, and then move along until you're at the home page. then go to settings, turn on facetime, turn on iMessaging, try to log in. It should work after your phone has reconfigured. then go ahead, once iMessage is working, log into iCloud and your Apple ID so that you get all your **** back. I really hope this helped... blood, sweat and tears went into the process of finding this answer..

  • FaceTime (Could not sign in.) - Mac OS X

    I have the same problem.

  • IMessage - could not sign in please check network connection

    Hi,
    I have 3 macs and a couple of iDevies. All was working fine... Suddenly iMessage does not work on my iMac. All other devices tied to the account have no problem with messages. At first it gave me: "could not send the message please check network connection". After tinkering and waiting a couple of days I then tried to log out and then log in again... Bad idea; I now it gives me a similar message but that it cannot sign in.
    AIM and all other internet services work without an issue, no problem with other Apple ID services.
    Thanks for any and all ideas.
    Regards,
    Philly

    This could be a complicated problem to solve, as there are many possible causes for it. Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Before proceeding, test on another network, if possible. That could be a public Wi-Fi hotspot, if your computer is portable, or a cellular network if you have a mobile device that can share its Internet connection. If you find that iMessage works on the other network, the problem is in your network or at your ISP, not in your computer.
    Step 1
    Check the status of the service. If the service is down, wait tor it to come back up. There may be a localized outage, even if the status indicator is green.
    Step 2
    Restart your broadband device and your router, if different. You may have to skip this step if you don't control those devices.
    Step 3
    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ About This Mac
    Below the "OS X" legend in the window that opens, the OS version appears. Click the version line twice to display the serial number. If the number is missing or invalid according to this web form, take the machine to an Apple Store or other authorized service center to have the problem corrected.
    Step 4
    Take the steps suggested in this support article. If you don't understand some of the steps or can't carry them out, ask for guidance.
    Step 5
    From the menu bar, select
     ▹ System Preferences ▹ Network
    If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the Proxies tab. If the box marked SOCKS Proxy is checked, uncheck it. You don’t need to change any other settings in the window. Click OK and then Apply. Test.
    The result may be that you can't connect to the Internet at all. Revert the change if that happens, or if iMessage still doesn't work. Remember that you must Apply any changes you make in the preference pane before they take effect.
    Step 6
    Select from the menu bar
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Storage
    and click
    Block all sites from storing information on this computer
    Close the preference pane.
    Step 7
    Make sure you know the ID and password you use with iMessage. Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Use the search box in the toolbar of the Keychain Access window to find and delete all items with "iMessage" in the name. Log out and log back in.
    Step 8
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    If iMessage worked in the guest account, stop here and post your results.
    Step 9
    Boot in safe mode and log in. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including Wi-Fi on certain iMacs.  The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and test again.
    If iMessage worked in safe mode, but didn't work when you booted out of safe mode, stop here and post your results.
    Step 10
    Reset the NVRAM.
    Step 11
    Reinstall OS X.
    Step 12
    If none of the above steps resolves the issue, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or contact Apple Support.

  • Trying to update keep getting a message "the ipod software update server could not be contacted Network connection could not be established" using mac OSX. done this with 2 ipod touches??

    trying to update 2 ipods but when I go through the process it says "The ipod software update server could not be contacted" "Network connection could not be established". One of the ipods is locked and I don't remember password.

    Here's what you can do in case of the forgotten password:
    Connect in recovery mode and restore, you'll get the option to rest the passcode during this process:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore and iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
    If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

  • HT1338 imessage is not on my new mac pro I just purchased

    I can not find messages anywhere on my computer.  I have looked for a link to download, but it disappeared.  When I downloaded Mountain Lion to other laptops it has worked fine. This is a new computer and I can't find it.

    Umm,
    I have checked the posters join date (5th Dec 2012) so it would seem that the OS listed is their current one.

  • Facetime / iMessage Could Not Sign In...

    Since I Updated iOS7 on my Iphone 4S... I try to sign in and I get the following error... any ideas or fix out there for this?

    Update: Found a Fix...first go to settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup (towards bottom) >  Back up iPhone... once backup is complete then go to Settings>General>Reset (towards bottom)> erase all content and settings... after phone restarts... go through prompts then select restore from iCloud Backup. It will take awhile to restore if you have alot of data on Device but, worth it, to fix it... Note: make sure to save all data that isnt stored to the cloud before you do the reset ... any photos vids. etc.

  • IMessage on MacBook Pro "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again."

    I am currently receiving this error message when trying to log in to iMessage on my MacBook Pro (Mavericks), "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again."
    I have never had an issue until the past few days as I have been setting up my new iPhone 5s. I used to have an iPhone 4.
    When I go to the 'Messages' App., Preferences> Accounts> the iMessage account is set as "(Inactive)".
    My Apple ID appears to be working fine in iCloud, the App. Store etc.
    Thank you for your help.

    Check Enable this account in Preferences. Try logging in again.

  • 7.1 update to IPad now unable to use FaceTime and iMessage says could not sign in check your network connection.  Why am I seeing this when I am connected?

    7.1 update to IPad now unable to use FaceTime and iMessage says could not sign in check your network connection.  Why am I seeing this when I am connected?

    Check Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is also set correctly.
    If that didn't solve the problem, restart your iPad and try again. If that fails, reset your iPad and try again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
