Messages won't accept my Apple ID

I just upgraded to Mountain Lion (OS X 10.8.5) and Messages won't accept my Apple ID. Accepts all my other Chat clients, just not the main one I upgraded for (i want to be able to respond to my iPhone texts on my iMac).
The error message i get is:
Could not sign in to iMessage.
The server encountered an error processing
registration. Please try again later.
There is probably an easy fix here...

HI,

Also check the Serial Number is present.
Use the Apple Icon Menu and About this Mac.
In the new panel click twice on the line that states the current OS version.
It will change to the Build number (of the OS) and then to the Serial Number.
If the Logic board has been replaced in a refurbishment or repair the Serial Number is supposed to be "flashed" to the new board.
If it is missing it will mean a trip to an Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider.

Sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. 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.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try again.

I'm setting up my new iPhone 4 and it won't accept my apple ID

I'm setting up my new iPhone 4 and it won't accept my apple ID. I just created it and everytime I enter it in the setup screen it says Can't Create Apple ID: Account Limit Reached.

It sounds like you have too many devices associated with that Apple ID.
Sign on to iTunes on your computer. Go to Store > View Account from iTunes' menu. Sign in and click "Manage Devices". Remove some.

I can't get my ipod touch 4 to let me sign in to facetime. It won't accept my apple ID or pasword.

I can't get my ipod touch to let me sign in to face time. It won't accept my apple ID or password, I don't know which. Help...

Go to appleid.apple.com and make sure your apple is an email address

As usual my password is not being accepted and I can't change it cos it won't accept my Apple id either HEEEEEELLLLPPPPP

As usual, I cannot upload cos it won't accept my password, can't change password cos it won't accept my Apple id either HHHEEEEEEELLLLLPPPP

To change the ID on your phone for purchasing, go to Settings>Store, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in with the ID you want to use. However, apps and their updates are permanently tied to the ID used to purchase them (regardless of the ID in Settings>Store). If you purchased apps with this other ID you will have to keep using it to update the apps.

My iPad won't accept my Apple ID on iTunes & App Store

I recently had a problem with signing in with my apple id on ipad. It started when I can't download applications from the app store properly. The device will ask for my password but once I've entered the password it will load for a moment and get that GET button again. So I now signed out my apple id on itunes as well as icloud. I've reset my password. Now, it won't accept my apple id and password. But it worked perfectly on my icloud account. Once I've entered my password and id it will just load for a bit. The sign in button will not be active. But then after several seconds it will appear again with no further notifications or error display.

Hi Go to itunes bottom of page sign out then sign back in that may help . Cheers Brian

Airport utility won't accept my apple ID

I just got an update on my Macbook Pro and when I rebooted it came up with Airport Utility. It said could set up Back to My Mac. However Back to My Mac won't accept my apple ID. Also Airport says my Time Capsule firmware needs updating. But I can't seem to do this without my Apple ID, which I have repeatedly put in and it won't get accepted. I checked with ITunes so I know my username and password are correct - they work fine with ITunes. I would like to at least be able to upgrade the Time Capsule firmware. Please!
Thanks for reading

The AirPort routers have two passwords.
One is a base station or device password, used to access the settings on the AirPort
The other password is a wireless network, used to join the wireless signal that the AirPort produces.
If you have forgotten a password, you can use a Soft Reset procedure to reset one or both passwords. See this Apple support document for details:
Resetting an AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule FAQ

My iPhone won't accept my Apple ID after upgrade

Hi
I just downloaded the iPhone OS 5 update and my phone won't accept my me.com password so I can't unlock it.
Anyone got any ideas?
I'm using the same id and password to log in here so it's definitely the right one!
Thanks

It won't accept my Apple ID password to update or install new apps?

I can log in to Apple ID on the website successfully but my iPad won't accept the password to download or update apps.

When you select update, verify that it is showing your correct Apple ID, perhaps you have an app that was downloaded with a different ID, all apps are always associated with the ID that first downloaded them.

I updated my ipad to ios 5, however, the software wiped my ipad clean and it won't put the backup files onto the ipad and also won't accept my apple id. What shall I do?

I updated my iPad to ios 5, and it updated it to ios 5, however- it at the same time- wiped my iPad clean and it won't sync to my computer to get the old apps and music back. Also, none of my iDevices accepted my apple id which I have used for years and I have had to make another one.

If the problem persists after you reboot as suggested by Ralph:
Trouble connecting usually means interference, or another WiFi on the same channel.
If you have any cordless phones, keyboards, or cameras, check what frequency they use.
From a MAC or Windows machine you can see what channel each of the available networks are using. Make sure your network is on a channel nobody else nearby is also using.

Help! Replaced Verizon router and suddenly my 2 Apple TVs won't accept my Apple ID

I have two Apple TVs that were working just fine, but I replaced my 11 year old Verizon FIOS router today, and I have everything connected and working, except the Apple TV's which refuse to accept my Apple ID as correct. I have Home Sharing turned on on all my computers, but on the Apple TV configuration screen I cannot get past where it wants the Apple ID put in. I even went online and CHANGED my password, restarted iTunes, turned off Home Sharing and then back on, restarted computers, router, and have been using the remotes to type in my Apple ID and new password literally dozens of times and it says my password or user ID cannot be found or is incorrect; I know it is not incorrect....Help! One thing I noticed is the Apple TV in the configuration screen seems to have a strange IP address.....169. something or other instead of 192.168 >>> like everything else. I even tried changing that manually to what was showing for the Apple ID on my router screen but that didn't work either. We have not changed any connections on the TV, Apple TVs.....just the router replacement. Because it's a new router, it has a new network name and password, but I can't get to the point where I can put that in (tried selecting network automatically), because everything I try to do I get stopped by the Apple ID screen.
