Q: Certificate not yet generated

I am unable to log into FaceTime or iMessages. When I look at the Console I see this message continually being generated:

 

 

1/25/15 6:20:09.031 PM apsd[51]: Certificate not yet generated

 

Anyone know what's going on? I've read other posts regarding the login issues with iMessage and FaceTime but there doesn't seem to be a clear fix.

 

27" iMac running Yosemite.

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1), iMessage & Facetime

    I tried a clean install last night using the recovery partition which installed 10.11.4 and I've had the same issue. The machine out of the box came with 10.11.3 and with the issue. Updated to 10.11.4 with no change.

    I have a macbook and a macmini, upgraded both from mac app store without issues, then I tried a clean install on the Macbook.

     

    Back to my mac will not connect.

    Find my Mac doesn't work.

    I cannot authorize icloud keychain from another device

    Cannot login to facetime or messages.

     

    I booted from a clone I had of 10.11.3 and everything works as expected.

     

    I am getting the constant APSD certificate error, Spent about 3 hours on the phone with apple this morning and sent them Capture Data and they said they would touch base with me on Friday.

     

    At this point a working 10.11.3 installer would save me but the one I had the cert expired last week.

    The upgrade does not eliminate existing problem. I had a system (10.11.3) with no issues.

    Same here, I was on 10.11.4 without the issue but with airdrop and localization not working so I decided to go back to Yosemite (clean install), airdrop and localization begin to work again but then the certificate issue begin to bug me, so I do another clean install back to 10.11.4 and surprise the issue is there now too. I already tried another solutions but no luck, maybe this issue is on Apple side.

    Same here with a clean install of 10.11.4 on a MBP 13" 2015.

    Cannot connect to iMessage and FaceTime.


    Any help appreciated. Thanks.

    Same.  Stalled out 10.11.4 update.  Couldn't revive it so erase and clean install.  Restore from TM.  At end of restore it asks to perform the two step verification and it stalls on that.  No error.  Just nothing. Restarted, logged in fine.  Now can't get into Messages and console is showing "aped: Certificate not yet generated" over and over and over...

     

    Tried logging into Messages and get the "An error occurred during authentication"

     

    I also had trouble with iCloud Keychain and had to use the recovery code to get that working.

     

    El Cap has been nothing but trouble for me from day 1.

    We're having the same problem - just installed 10 new iMacs out of the box; Transferred data via Migration Assistant, and each one is unable to sign in to iCloud, iTunes Accounts or the Mac App Store.

     

    Again, getting apsd: Certificate not yet generated in the console log.

    Seems to be working this morning.  Able to log into Messages.  Also see that Back to My Mac is now working.

     

    Unfortunately when I tried to log out/in to iCloud in sys pref, it asks you what you want to keep on your Mac vs delete... I kept my contacts and now everything is duplicated.  It's happened to me before.

    I had the same problem after having enthusiastically performed my first clean install in two years. I then dug up my old USB stick that has Mavericks on it and did another clean install. Much to my surprise, it wasn't an OS issue because I wasn't able to log into Messages and FaceTime either under Mavericks. This led me to believe that it must have something to do with iCloud because it was the only thing that both El Capitan and Mavericks share.

     

    Long story short, I removed every entry under "Session" in Keychain (the section that you see in the screen capture, not anything else) and the problem went away. Messages will rebuild the signing keys after the first login.
