IMessage on mt lion: can't sign in w/ apple ID
From time to time, I've been trying to log into iMessage on Mt Lion since I upgraded when Mt Lion was first available. At first, I was able to log in and use iMessage, but it annoyingly logged me out after every message I sent. Now I can't log in at all. My Apple ID credentials are fine (used them to post this message). Anyone know what's up? Running Mt Lion on Mid 2012 15" MBP (non Retina).
Hi,
Without giving masses of info away what type and what age is your Apple ID ?
For Instance is it an @mac.com name from the .Mac service ?
IS it likely that the password although working and valid does not conform to Apple's most recent suggestions (Read Rules) on Password criteria such as Capital letters, numbers and length.
Also what sort of things have you tried to fix it ?

I changed my phone number and now I cannot send iMessage or make calls on FaceTime (only receive) on my Macbooth Pro. Currently my iMessages settings say I can be reached at my apple id email. My FaceTime currently says I can be reached at my apple id email.
Go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. Also, since you have IOS-7, read this.

I have one Apple ID and password, when I sign in iCloud enter Apple ID and password but can not Sign up " This Apple ID is valid but is not an icloud account." Why?
You can not create an iCloud account using a PC, set the account up on a Mac or an iPhone/iPad, then you will be able to sign into it on your PC.

How can i sign out of apple id and create a new one without it affecting my other devices
How can i sign out of apple id and create new one without it effecting my other devices using my existing apple id
Content is tied to the account that originally bought/downloaded it - so if you created a new account as opposed to updating the old one, then you will need to continue to use the old account to download updates to its apps or to re-download its past purchases. If you didn't create a new account but instead updated your old one then try logging out of your account on the phone by tapping on the id in Settings > Store and then log back in

I can't sign into anything apple on my laptop.
I can not sign into iTunes, iCloud, iMessage. Also this Keychaing thing keeps popping up and i have a feeling it's the issue and I can't reset that either. please help!
There is more than one issue. I suggest you fix the keychain problem first.
At some point, you may have reset your keychain to default in Keychain Access. That action would have caused your login keychain to be renamed.
Back up all data before proceeding.
In Keychain Access, delete the login keychain from the keychain list. Choose Delete References when prompted, not Delete References & Files.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
~/Library/Keychains
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V), and press return. A folder will open. Rename the file "login.keychain" in that folder to something like "login-old.keychain". Rename the file "login_renamed_1.keychain" to "login.keychain". You can then close the folder.
Back in Keychain Access, select
File ▹ Add Keychain...
from the menu bar. Add back the file now named "login.keychain". If any of your needed keychain items are missing from it, also add back the file you named "login-old.keychain". I suggest you transfer any needed items from that keychain to the login keychain, then delete it. The transfers are made by drag-and-drop in Keychain Access. You'll need to enter your password for each item transferred. -

How can I sign into my apple ID on all my devices without actually being with the device?
My mom lost her iphone and we can't use Find My Iphone because she wasn't signed into iCloud. Help please!
If Find my iPhone was not activated before the phone was lost there is no way to track it. Check on the iCloud website. Log in with the APple ID. If you do not see your device listed on Find my iPhone there, it was not activated.
