Mac Mini imessage error "Could not sign in to iMessage. An error occurred during activation. Try again."

Hi there!

I have been using the imessage for quite a while and yesterday all of a sudden my messages started to not deliver. I signed out and tried signing back and and stated to get this message.

The things I have already done to try to fix the situation...

changed my password and try signing back in (I'm not getting any error saying the password isn't right)
Checked the time and date on my computer
Made sure my IOS is up to date (Catalina)
Reset NVRAM
My internet connection is working
There aren't any service issues with Apple
I don't have a third party software such as a firewall

Can someone please help me??

Thank you so much in advance

Mac mini, macOS 10.15

Hello brownie07,

I am glad you posted here about this iMessage issue on your Mac. It looks like you were able to locate and follow all the steps on this page: If you can't sign in to your iMessage account or FaceTime on your Mac Awesome job on following those steps!

Since those didn't do the trick, I would recommend you reach out to Apple Support directly, so they can verify information with you, and give a once over to the Apple ID itself. Here's a link to Get Support

I hope this helps. Have a great weekend!

There are a batch of us out here with this issue currently. Do you really want us to deluge Support with phone calls/e-mails/chats??

As a PS - in addition to the steps taken by brownie07, I've also gone into activity monitor and force quit identityservicesd and IMRemoteURLConnectionAgent.xpc. This has worked for others, but did not resolve the issue for me.
