Cannot connect in iMessage on Mac. ID and password.

iMessage spontaneously told me to open a session, but don't connect. My ID and password are correct. I even reset my password to see if it would fix it. iCloud and other apps Apple ID/functions work fine. iMessage on my Mac does not work. iMessage on my phone is fine. Do not know what to do...

Hello

Each connecting to servers iMessages is specific device using the serial number of the device.

In some cases have replaced mother/logic card may cause that the person performing the repair is supposed to "return of flame" the serial number for the new Board of Directors.

About this Mac (high Apple Menu icon on the left) the serial number appears in preview in the Yosemite and El Capitan.

While it is supposed to be a feature security a number of small but significant people find iMessages connection to various updates or updates it stops working.

Test your Apple ID in iMessages in another Mac user account (System Preferences > user and groups). Create a 'test' account or select th option invited and connect to this account.

If it works here then the problem is with your Mac user account.

If it doesn't work it is more likely to be at the server end, but there are other things you can try.

How to reset the NVRAM on your Mac - Apple Support

Try a secure start

Do these two things separately and test Messages between the two.

If at this stage iMessages will still not connect, you will need to contact the Apple Support (even and Apple Care)

Explain that you have a problem with Apple ID with the Mac connection to the iMessages Server (Apple ID issues are free to set).

Chances are the level 1 players will not know what you are talking about because they use Scripts to handle phone calls.

Ask to speak to someone more important, particularly if they appear insistent and you pay.

Level 2s can vary with some knowledge about the issue and others work more blindly) (there was a post here where level 2 under a code number which has arisen in OS X 10.8.2 recently updated with the introduction by using the serial number).

Apple are aware that this security feature fires for some but not why.

Level 2 may ask you to try other things and also do data collection.

Ask them to check the iMessages server and see if it does not block your Mac.

Ask them to put this.

At this point, they may involve engineers who seem to be the only ones who can reset the server.

Reinstall, upgrade or even a simple update don't work - it's a question of end of the server.

Judging by what others post back to talk about their experiences you can get told anything between 24 hours and 5 days to "Fix" (and in some cases a return phone calls to check).

Most report it seems 'resolves' as it is rarely if ever a return phone call.

This problem of not being able to connect (or in some cases to looking like you are connected but then all contacts turn red, then you cannot select them - or learn as much as by pressing send only to see "not delivered" for each iMessage) has happened since the Cougar in any form where the form.

It is probably fair to say that there has been changes and now it seems to a form any operating system level change.

We who post regularly have not found a quick process to face to get through Apple Support.

    E-all-in-one printer cannot connect to iMac 10.7, error: turn off device if this does not solve the problem and the unit is broken and can not scan, copy, print.

    Installed the software and everything seems fine, so I try to print and could not communicate with the device, then scan and the same problem.

    The wndow in the printer displays the above message.

    Have uninstalled and reinstalled and still not connect, however the wireless can see the printer and my modem but cannot print, scan, copy

    any suggestion

    If you can not make a copy from the front of your printer, there is something wrong with the printer in-house.

    The printer turned on, unplug from the back of the printer for 30 seconds about and try again.

  • Unable to connect to itunes with apple id and password. Have used it before and have'nt changed anything.

  • Cannot connect to the game using Microsoft account, password is incorrect, or account does not exist.

    I just installed Dirt 3 on my new computer, when you are prompted to log in to my Live account. I put in my info, then the code of the key to the game. She then returned and say my account does not exist or my password is incorrect. After trying twice more I came here.  It is the same account and password that I use here.

    I'll start from the beginning.

    Some time ago a friend bought a game for me (Dark Souls prepare to Die Edition) by Toys R us as a gift. I needed to connect with GFWL to save progress. I did, using my XBOX Live account. I played 40 hrs of this game, my PC is dead. It was during the summer 2014.

    Fast forward to now, I reactivated my Windows Live account and tried to install the game in my new computer. After that I set my account sign in problems (had to change my password three times until he acknowledged) the error message I now get it that the product key is registered to a different Windows Live account.

    There is no other windows Live ID someone else has access to my account STEAM or WINDOWS ACCT. To my knowledge none have been hacked. I was put through three individuals when I called them. Account, a kind of guys then sale of troubleshooting. After that wanted to sale onto me accounts that I hung up. No one knew that STEAM has been and has not yet recognize that GFWL is actually managed by Xbox apparently (have concluded that myself). I know GFWL is now active, BUT I'm always supposed to be able to access my game.

  • message: configuration cannot be verified - is the user name and password? None of them are wrong. I'm trying to set up my work email. How to solve the thi

    I have been using Thunderbird for a long time. One day he told me that my password is incorrect. After several attempts, the correct password decided to remove the e-mail account and start to charge. Now, when I put the account it says "configuration could not be verified - is the user name and password? None of them are wrong. I tried to change the password, contact my email provider and everything works fine except when trying to use Thunderbird. The email that I had tried to set up is at work. Any help in fixing this will really appreciate it.

    The best suggestion is to get the correct settings from your provider. They move to the top of their servers. They know the settings that work.

    Finally a resolution...

    I tried running an ePrint of New York telephone, and it worked, but still no luck wirelessly from the PC printing.

    He said that the WiFi was indeed working.  So, I did a search for new firmware and found that there was one in April of this year (2016).  Downloaded and took a chance on install.  To my amazement, it is actually installed on the printer without any connection "connected".  Who told me that there is an existing wireless link.

    Once the install is complete firmware, I tried to print a worksheet Excel from the PC, and it actually printed!  I have to assume there was something in the formware upgrade which allowed the router from LinkSys (WRT1900AC) to communicate fully and to work with the PC.  The router was published in 2014, so maybe it was.

    In any event, everything is in fully working again.

    Man y thanks to all who have shared their data entry.  I hope this could help someone with a similar problem in the future.

    Thanks again!

  • Cannot connect wireless C4780 using mac/airport

    I searched through the previous posts but can't seem to solve this problem.

    I will try to give all the relevant information...

    I have a new MacBook Pro - Snow Leopard OS x 10.6.4.  I have a wireless connection to the internet with an airport that is about 5 years old & have had no problems with internet connections.  I use a WPA security to access my wireless network.

    After unpacking the printer, there is a note that says that the cd is not compatible with mac OS X 10.6 & don't not to install.  All the functionanlity is included with Snow Leopard.  If I plug it in with the usb cable, I can print.  I can't understand how to set up wireless well.

    When I look in Preferences system under printers, printer stands, but is disconnected.  If go into options... pilot, it's that nothing indicated for this printer.  Another post mentioned about 'add the wireless client', but this option is grayed out in my menu.

    I'm savvy software - but not so much with the end of material, so please give very specific instructions on what I need to do to try to get it up & running.

    Thank you.

    Well, the printing functionality is built into the OS, but not the possibility to set up the network portion of the printer.

    I don't know how old your airport is - is it a form of fungus or a square box?  If the later, you can use WPS and I can help you.  If the fungus, you will need to load the software.

    Download the software right here.

    Can not connect to macbook pro, that keeps asking for password to icloud I have reset too many times I do not remember. Reinstalled operating system still does not work. Think to screw up the laptop and get back to a Windows machine. Not impressed with Apple.

    To connect to your computer, you must enter your computer in password journal, not your Apple ID.

    Otherwise, provide more details on exactly what is happening on.
