unknown error occurring with iMessage on Mac
After upgrading to Monterey, I keep getting "an unknown error occurred" when I try to log into iMessage.
iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.15
genius! worked like a charm..thanks!
Question marked as
I went to Setting > Apple ID > Overview, in the bottom left I clicked signed out. After that is done, I then opened up messages and it stopped giving me the sign in screen, I then processed to sign back in via Settings. All good now. Hope it helps someone.

Thanks so much for this ! This didn’t happen to me due to an update . Just happened in thin air & you helped me fix my issue.
Coming back to the forums after fixing it yourself is admirable. A lot of people don't do that.
This fixed it for me. Thank you so much !!!!!
Yes, that worked for me as well. Much less complicated. Thanks!
What have you tried so far?
Wow. That took 3 seconds and fixed my problem. Thank you!
pnford, you have to log out, sign into another account (switch user), then log in to iMessages from the other account. Once that’s done then you log back into your original account and then sign in which should work. If you don’t have a second user you can use to log in then you have to create one.
No, what I was saying, is that all I had to do was log out of my user account and then log back in and then go to messages and I was able to login without the error. I did not have to create or sign in to another user account to get it to work
Before you go through the "new account creation" and "reinstallation" processes, try restarting. That worked for me. I'm running Monterey 12.4.
