MacBook Air Apple ID issue

Hi, I'm trying to connect my MacBook Air to iMessage and FaceTime but every time I type in my email and password (which are both correct), I get a notification saying:

"Could not sign into iMessage. An error occurred during activation. Please try again"

I have tried multiple things to fix this and all have failed.

Please help me with this issue. Thank you!

MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.13

iMessage and Facetime not allowing login on Mac I have an issue with signing into iMessage and Facetime on my macbook air using my apple id. I get the message "An error occurred during activation. Try Again." in both systems, no matter which apple id I'm using. everything else functions fine as far as my apple id goes. i've tried other apple ids, doesn't work. I've tried the reset that is suggested (Reset NVRAM or PRAM on your Mac - Apple Support) but that doesn't fix the issue either.

Cannot sign in with Apple ID to iMessage I attempted to set up iMessage on my MacBook Air with my Apple ID and password, but got an error saying "Could not sign in to iMessage. An error occurred during activation. Try again". I can sign in to apple.com with my Apple ID and password. I have also restarted my computer. Still no luck. Does anyone know what could be wrong? What else can I try? Thanks.
