Why can't i sign into messages with my apple id

Whenever I try to sign into messages, it pops up an error saying that my id can't be used.

HI,
The most common cause at the moment is a repaired or refurbished Mac missing the serial number on the Logic board.
Use the Apple Icon Menu > About this Mac.
Near the top is the current OS version listed
Click this line twice (Once to Build number and again to Serial number)
If it is missing you need and Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider to sort this for you.

  • Why can't I sign into YouTube through my Apple Tv

    I'm having a a tough time signing into YouTube with my Apple TV (Gen 2) I use the same password to sing in on my PC with no problem, but can't do the same with my new little black box with the apple on it.  Any Ideas or suggestions why this is happening. 

    Update: I have also tried on an iPhone and I got the same result.  It's as if something needs to be enabled to allow an apple ID to work on iMessage, but I cannot see any setting...

  • Why can't I sign into messages on OSX Mountain Lion?

    I just upgraded to Mountain Lion on OSX and I cannot sign into Messages or FaceTime. I'm getting this message every time:
    "The server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later."
    Any advice or anyone else experiencing this?

    Hi again,
    The Host File was the "fix" to the issue before OS X 10.8.2 came out (this updates Messages to version 7.0.1)
    Editing the Hosts file can be done by some apps but is normally a deliberate act to stop some Apps "Phoning Home".
    It does not sound like this is something you have done.
    It is worth learning how to look at the file though.
    EDIT.
    I am presuming you have checked Date and Time (including Zone) settings

  • Why can't I sign into Messages?

    I just got my new Macbook Pro.  I tried signing into Messages for the first time and have had no success.  I know my password is correct.  I get the message "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again."  I also know that my connection is fine since I am on the internet at the same time.  Any help?

  • Why can't I sign into eBay with Firefox 17

    I have had to revert to Firefox 12 because if I use Firefox 17 I cannot sign into eBay. Page says "not responding"
    I have always had all the new updates up to version 17, but obviously, if I can't sign into eBay there is no point in having version 17.

    dazmoz,
    My problem was caused by Trusteer Rapport banking security software.
    If you have that installed you could try stopping it and see if that helps.
    (Latest Firefox is 18.0.1 so you are up to date).

  • Why can't I sign into iMessage using my Apple ID?

    I have just created a new Apple ID so that I can use iMessages across my devices without receiving my wife's messages.
    The ID must be set up okay as I have logged into this community and posted this question with it.  I have done the e-mail verification as well.
    How ever, if I try to log into iMessage, I get an error saying 'Incorrect Apple ID or password'.  Can anyone tell me what is going wrong please, because this is driving me nuts!
    Cheers,
    Dave

  • "An error occurred during activation. Try again." Why can I not sign into imessage?

    "An error occurred during activation. Try again." Why can I not sign into Imessage?

    Hi,
    You stated earlier that you had already deleted the "madrid" .plist with no effect.
    Can I check you did this with the app closed down or at least restarted the app straight afterwards ?
    If you did that close the app if open and access the ~/Library/Preferences  folder again.
    This time delete com.apple.imessage.bag.plist 
    This item stores the Apple server used for your Login to the iMessages server and contains a date/time reference.
    Restarting the app after deleting this file will make it reconnect with the iMessages servers in a fresh manner which my solve things.
    It may sort out any date/time issues with the stored date.
    Messages is one of the app that Apple have "Sandboxed".
    This means that some of it's operations are held away from other apps to prevent one app bringing down several others.
    This is turn means that the route or path used by the app to Read and Write to the various .plists is different to the direct placing in ~/Library/Preferences.
    The Path is ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iChat/Data/Library/Preferences
    Mostly the items in here are then Aliases that point to the actual originals in ~/Library/Preferences.  However there are exceptions.
    You can copy and paste the Path above in to the Finder > Go Menu > Go to Folder dialogue box to access this folder.
    Once there use the Finder's View Menu > Show Path Bar.
    This adds a collection of folders across the bottom of the Finder window.
    Right click on the Preferences folder at the right hand list of the Path.
    Chose the Get Info option.
    In the Info panel scroll to the Bottom.
    Your Shortname should appear (with (Me) as well) and you should have Read and Write Permissions
    If you highlight this and then use the Cogwheel type iCon it should reveal you shortname again but in Greyed out form which mean you Own the File/folder
    Repeat this for each containing folder until the Library item on the left (you don't need to do the Little House  icon one)
    You should have Read an Write Permissions and Own all of them.
    Can you confirm this ?
