Q: iMessage activation error

Problem with imessages for about 3 weeks. Not being able to login to it.    Called Apple -resolved issue by resetting PRAM Restart while holding Command-Option-P-R at same time. Wait until you hear at least 3 chimes (about 30 sec. between each) and then release the keys.        Simply put, hold for about 3 minutes.       Problem solved no more "error during activation"     Hope this helps someone else out there.........

Mac Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5), null

    Hi,

     

    This was still Mavericks ?  (Messages 8 as that version calls it - but so does Yosemite)
