Mavericks upgrade - iMessage/Facetime sign in problem (MBPro 2010)

After upgrading to Mavericks from Mountain Lion, now I can't sign in with iMessage and Facetime:
In Console I'm getting this errors logged:
25/10/13 21:56:12,674 apsd[66]: Failed to evaluate trust: No error. (0), result=5; retrying with revocation checking optional
25/10/13 21:56:12,681 apsd[66]: failed to evaluate trust: No error. (0), result=5; retrying with system roots
25/10/13 21:56:12,685 apsd[66]: Root certificate is not explicitly trusted
25/10/13 21:56:12,686 apsd[66]: Untrusted peer, closing connection immediately
I've tried many solutions with no positive result. It appears something is wrong with the Keychain. Something is missing or was not correctly upgraded.

I've solved my iMessage/Facetime problem. This is the solution I've posted in another discussion.

This is the solution if you are getting errors like these logged in system.log:

Facetime sign in problem on my iMac. Works perfectly fine on my iPad 2 (?!)

I just purchased Facetime for my desktop computer and it does not want to sign in.
Exactly same network at home, and yet Facetime works perfectly fine on my iPad 2 and it won't sign in on my Intel iMac. It will keep trying until I get notification message I should check my network. There is really nothing to check since Facetime on my iPad 2 worked out of the box. I tried both, wireless as well as my wired connection. Still same problem.
I turned my iPad off and tried signing to Facetime with same Apple ID on my iMac. Still won't sign in. I tried my wife's account, still no go. I tried my wife's account on my iPad and it works like a charm.
What is that on my iMac that it does not allow Facetime to connect? All updates installed (OS X 10.6.7). Firewall is completely shut down, never even used it. I have Little Snitch but I don't believe that's the problem since I have Little Snitch with same configuration and rules on my work iMac. Facetime works perfectly fine on my work iMac at the office.
This is driving me nuts.

Hi everybody!
I think I solved this problem and I believe it could help to thousands of other people desperately try getting Facetime to work on their machines (that is when it comes to Mac, still not sure what is causing iPhone/iPad Facetime problem some people are having).
Anyway... this is what I did and it solved it immediately. I am having this issue with Facetime on my iMac for the last two months and no solution provided on the internet in various forums helped a bit. Changing DNS servers, erasing com.apple.imagent file from the user Library/LaunchAgents folder, even adding loads of ports to port forwarding section of my router... nothing.
Simple solution worked for me! I'm thinking what's so different from my home iMac and my office one (BTW, exactly the same configuration, and almost the same applications installed).
Problem was in my PeerGuardian settings. I have it installed on both machines, but only one option was different. On my office machine, option was checked and Facetime worked without any problems. On my home machine this same option was unchecked and Facetime was never ever able to connect. After I checked this option (see link for screenshot), Little Snitch immediately popped up asking me to allow "applepushserviced" to connect. I allowed it and Facetime connected in a matter of seconds.
This is the setting in PeerGuardian you need to have checked so Facetime is able to connect.

Trust me, even when PeerGuardian is not running, this setting if unchecked will screw your Facetime login.
And this is what LittleSnitch popped up with after I checked this option and tried signing in with my Facetime again. I allowed it and Facetime connected. Problem solved, at least on my end.

IMessage & FaceTime sign in fails - incorrect username or pwd MSG

I've been using iMessage and FaceTime for ages with no hiccups. Then I think someone using my iPad signed me out. Now they won't let me sign back in. It says username or pwd is incorrect. I've signed in with my apple I'd online to confirm I'm doing it right so I certainly am I putting my pwd correctly. I also tried creating a new apple I'd to test and I got the same message back. Apple help says, this is the resolution.
To use FaceTime with your Apple ID, navigate to Settings > FaceTime and tap "Use your Apple ID for FaceTime."
To use iMessage with your Apple ID, navigate to Settings > Messages > Receive At and tap "Use your Apple ID for iMessage."
But when I go o settings it doesn't even have that option it's just "sign in"
I have found from googling lots of people have the same issue but I can't see any responses with the fix. Would greatly appreciate any help as this is sooo irritating!

IMessage & FaceTime sign in fail

This year i have gotten a new ipod 4th gen, and when i went into iMessage and FaceTime and tried to sign in, it would always take me to where i pick my email so people could message me, but once i chose it, it would take me back to the sign in. I have repeatedly tried to sign in but would not let me. Any way i can fix it.?

Hey, I would suggest trying this article to get it working.
Otherwise you could also be having a conectivity issue, maybe try a different wifi network and see if the issue re-occurs.

IMessage/FaceTime Sign-in Dialog

Occasionally, when I log in to my desktop, a dialog appears asking me to sign in. Sometimes it asks me to sign into FaceTime, sometimes iMessage. I sign in and then later on in the week, it does the same again. It is quite frustrating as I also get sent an email from Apple notifying me that "your apple id was used to sign in to FaceTime on a 27-inch imac."
Any help appreciated.

I had put the same correct current gmail password but imessage not making it done. Whats the problem?
Please hlp me.

If you've activated 2-step verification, you need to generate a new "application-specific password" in your Google account and enter it in place of your old password in the Keychain Access application.

So I just updated my MacBook (2009 model) to Maverick and I tried signing into Facetime and iMessage but it just stays stuck in the log in screen. Any help?

Cannot sign in to iMessage/FaceTime

Ever since I upgraded to iOS 7, on my WiFi-only iPad Mini, when I tried to sign in to iMessage or FaceTime, I get this message:
"iMessage (FaceTime) Activation: could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again."
I've tried many ways to solve this issue, including:
- Rebooting my iPad
- Reset network connections
- Connecting via a different ISP.
- setting DNS server to 8.8.8,8.
- Setting Date/Time to "Set Automatically"
- Stuffing with airplane mode.
The only thing I've not tried is to do a backup, reset and erase all and restore. I don't want to go along that route because it is **** of a time-consuming thing to do and there's no guarantee that it'll work. I simply don't have the time to do that.
I've looked around the Net and Twitter and I know there's a lot of people having this issue too.
Can Apple fix this? It's already 10 days already and Apple has no comment, solution and fix to this problem?

Unable to sign in to iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, or App Store

Ok, this is STUPID frustrating. I'm NOT a novice user with Mac's, but I'm stumped to figure this bug out...
13" MacBook Pro 5,5
2.53 GHz Core 2 Duo
8GB Ram
120GB SSD - OS & Applications
750GB 7200rpm HDD inplace of optical drive. - User files/profile set on this HDD.
Fresh Mountain Lion/10.8.1 (clean) install from USB (formatted HDD first).
Problem:
1. Can not sign in to ANYTHING that uses my Apple ID (except iTunes. iTunes seems to be working, I think). Specifics listed below:
Error Messages:
iCloud (System Preferences):
You can't sign in at this time.
Try signing in again.
iCloud - Calendar.app (Preferemces>Accounts>Account Type: iCloud):
Sticks on "Searching "iClound.com" for calendar servers" for quite a while then shows the message:
"Calendar found a CalDAV server but couldn't log in with the user name "[email protected]". Make sure the user name and password you entered are correct, then try again."
FaceTime:
Sign in with my Apple ID username and password. Another box pops up reasking for my password, then I get the screen telling me my FaceTime address, where people can call me (my Apple ID). I click "Next", it says "Verifying" then "Verified" then boots me right back to the innitial sign in screen with the error message "Incorrect Apple ID or Password".... FRUSTRATING!!!
Messages.app (Preferemces>Accounts):
Enter Apple ID & password, a box pops up asking me to reenter my password, so I do. Then I get the error message:
"Could not sign in to iMessage"
"Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again."
App Store (Store>Sign In):
Enter my Apple ID and password. It sits and thinks for a bit, then the box disapears like it accepted my input, but then does nothing. Doesn't show me my store account, and when I reclick on the "Store" Context Menu, I see the "Sign In" option like I never gave it my username and password to begin with.
I've tried to create new Apple ID's (through the menu choices), both using an external email address, and creating a new .me email address. No good there either:
Click create a new ID> Location = United States, Birthday= my birthday (im 32 so no limit there).
Doesn't matter if I choose to use an existing email or wish to create free apple email. I get the "Terms of Service" screen, click the "I agree box" and then I again get the "You can't sign in at this time. Try Signing in again." error message...
I've searched and searched all over Google, even tried some of the fixes the Hacintosh folks are using to correct similar issues, but in-so-far nothing has worked. I'm at an impass here.
I installed Mountain Lion over my Lion install, and everything worked. I reformatted my HDD and installed a raw, fresh copy of Mountain Lion, and *poof* no workie, workie all brokie, brokie.
Before someone states the completely obvious, yes I know my Apple ID and pass are correct. I signed in to Apple.com, iTunes, and iCloud with it just fine. Using my computer's built-in service fuctions, or individual apps that I can point to my Apple ID, it wont let me in. I can't do crapall. Can someone here please lend a hand? Hopefully I'm not the only person having this issue?!?!?!

Called Apple and was surprised that the problem was actually solved in one call! Here is the fundamental problem (and I think it is mostly Apple's fault):
The Apple ID used by iCloud (and iMessages, Facetime, etc.) is DIFFERENT from the Apple ID used by iTunes etc. In my case, I had set up an Apple ID awhile ago with the format xxxxxxx, and then when iCloud started, Apple automatically set up an iCloud account with the format [email protected] because iCloud needs an email address. These two are different accounts in Apple's system. When I reset my password for xxxxxxx, it did not change my password for [email protected]
In case my problem is not your problem, here was my situation. All my services were working on my iPhone and iPad, until I went to iCloud.com and couldn't remember my password. I used the iForgot service, and entered my Apple ID (xxxxxxx), and then reset my password. This is where the trouble began.
I could log into appleid.apple.com, and "Manage my Apple ID" using the xxxxxxx name and the new password I had set. For the life of me though, I could not sign into iCloud, Facetime, Find My Friends, iMessages, etc. iTunes worked fine. I think this is similar to the OP. I tried signing in as xxxxxxx and using [email protected] and [email protected], all using the new password I had reset, and none of them worked. I knew the credentials were correct though, since I could "Manage my Apple ID".
Here's the solution:
Go to iForgot, and instead of typing in your Apple ID as xxxxxxx, type in [email protected] (or whatever your iCloud email address is). Answer the security questions, and then reset your password. In my case, I reset it to the same password I had reset to with xxxxxxx. Then everything worked for me.

Why iMessages, facetime, app store, etc I do not work in maverick? please solution thanks

Philip, many people have talked about this "blue lego" problem, but you are the first to explain it (migrating to Intel) that brings clarity to the issue. The Business and People widgets use small "webkit" plugins in order to do their work. However, the plugins on the PowerPC versions of these widgets are NOT Universal, and thus will not run on an Intel Mac.
Typically, this should never be an issue because an Intel Mac comes with widgets already installed (the Universal versions of these widgets, which include Universal versions of these plugins).
However, if I understand you correctly, you "migrated" your old files from your PowerPC Mac to your new Intel Mac. Is it possible you overwrote your Intel OS X default widgets (the 18 widgets in [Hard Drive]/Library/Widgets) with the versions from your old PowerPC Mac during this migration?
If so, then that is the source of your problem: you replaced your Universal widgets with PowerPC widgets. The solution is to reinstall your widgets from the Installer that came with your new Intel Mac. You can either re-install OS X entirely, or use Pacifist to just install those overwritten widgets.

We have multiple devices in our family. On each iPad/iPhone each user has their own apple id for iMessage, Facetime and icloud, but we all sign in to the same apple id for itunes. When one of my kids comments on my shared photostream, it shows my name??

CREATE A NEW USER
Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Users & Groups
Decide on whether to setup as Admin or Standard User.
Switch to the New User by logging out under the Apple in the Menu Bar or use Fast User Switching
Fast User Switching allows other users to leave current applications and windows open. Depending on RAM, you might need to log out rather than use FUS.

the problem I have since I upgraded to Mavericks version 10.9.1
The problem appears only with Mail not with other programs, not even with my browser.
When I try to zoom the text of an e-mail I received or sent , I can no longer use the keys Command + to enlarge the text, although I can reduce it with Command -.
As I have a problem with my eyes, This is a serious matter for me.
When I write an e-mail, if I select text and press Command +, it just displaces the text to the right.
Now, my husband has a USB keyboard. If he connects it to my computer, his regular Command + does not work either, but he uses the extended keyboard, then it works. Unfortunately, he needs it for a musical application which does not work with a wireless keyboard.

Firefox 3.6.4 and 3.6.6 use a process called, "plugin-container.exe" which was using up most of my CPU when I opened up multiple tabs that contained Adobe Flash files, and caused Firefox to lock up.
My solution was to use Firefox 3.5.10 which you can get from the Mozilla website at [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html]
I am using Adobe Flash 10.1.53.64 without any problem in this version of Firefox. Check the release notes, I believe it contains all the latest security fixes in "Firefox 3.6.4".
Hopefully, they will fix Firefox 3.6 in the next version (e.g. Firefox 3.6.7), until then you should probably use "Firefox 3.5.10".

Problems after Mavericks upgrade

A few days ago, I installed the latest Mavericks upgrade. I now cannot access the app store, which opens but doesn't show any icons or information - the pages are just blank. Safari is also not working properly - it won't recognise the certificates from any secure sites, including this forum. Facebook won't load properly, it only shows the bare html page. I've tried restoring the system from a previous backup, but this doesn't work. Can anyone help?

Hi everyone,
i have a solution!
well at least that worked for me.
It is nothing like a bug or software problem. It is just that after mavericks install for some reason i found a change in my Preview app preferences. So i set it correctly and now everything is back and working correctly.
Go to the Preview Preferences, then choose the "Images" section/tab, then choose "Size on screen equals size on printout" option, and thats it!
Try this out and I hope this works for you too!

Does Adobe CS6 now work after Mavericks upgrade? I know people were having problems.

I have been told that CS6 does not work with the new Mavericks upgrade. Apple Support Chat were very helpful. Advised to contact Adobe. Wondered what other people have discovered so far. Thanks in advance people!

We have CS6 on multiple iMacs in our department at work with Mavericks. No problems running any CS6 applications at all.
We have only run into one problem with Acrobat Pro X after installing Creative Cloud, that every time we start that app, it asks for the CS6 license number. Thus we have stopped using it for Acrobat Pro XI.
