On computer startup after user login, an iMessage popup asks me to enter the password of my AppleID.
After three (failed) attempts, the popup doesn't return.
When i go and launch the Messages app (iMessage), I can not log in either.
No matter what Apple account I try, I receive the error:
Could not sign into iMessage.
An error occurred during activation. Try again.
It recognizes when the user name or password is typed in incorrect,
saying "The user name or password was incorrect. Try again".
I have tried multiple Apple IDs (which work perfectly in the iCloud panel) as well tried to create a brand new (never used) Apple ID. I can still go on a machine with a previous OS and iMessage works perfectly.
This has been a problem for me since version 1 of the public beta and version 3 currently installed. Im gathering the problem is in the 10.10 install somewhere (i.e. the hosts file), plus I have already checked the hosts file to make sure nothing was being blocked there!
Has anyone had the same problem or does it work for everyone else?
Anyone have thoughts on what to try?!?!
Thank you all!
