Can not sign in to imessage or facetime with apple id

I am not able to sign into iMessage or FaceTime with my Apple ID. I confirmed my Apple ID username and password is correct and I also reset my password. Any ideas on how I can fix this issue?

MacBook Pro 15”, macOS 10.14

Have someone else attempt to sign in using their Apple ID. If they can successfully sign in and use Messages/FaceTime, it may be your Apple ID. Someone I know had this happen and I was able to sign in using my Apple ID. After a call to Apple Support and then being elevated to a tier 2 support person, it turned out it was a problem with their Apple ID. It took the software engineers 3-4 days to fix the problem. When calling Apple, make sure you tell them it is an Apple ID problem so you don't get charged.


You can also try signing in on another device/computer. There have been a couple of posts where people's device/computer was blocked. You will need to contact Apple for that problem also.


There is a contact link.
