Q: Signing into iMessage getting:"Could not sign in. Please check your internet connection and try again"

I have seen some soultions but none worked.

And what were those solutions?

Please confirm that you did all of the following without success:

Checking the hosts file for modifications

Checking for a missing serial number

Deleting your iMessage account and re-adding it

Booting in safe mode and trying to log in

Repairing the keychain

Linc,

Would you mind reporting my Post for me ?

There is no longer a Button for people to report themselves.

That post is way over the top  upon reflection.

Report it for what?

Hi,

This one https://discussions.apple.com/message/21375598#21375598  for being a bit rude (inconsiderate, impolite, bullying even).

I could have just pointed out there were 6 options in the first thread and 2 in the second without all the pics  and links to specific parts of the thread.

Thanks

OK.

You wrote earlier that you had tried all the solutions in those two threads. Those are the solutions.

If you say you tried them, that's all the confirmation I need.

There are many possible causes for the issue. See the links below:

iCloud: Account troubleshooting

Could not sign in to iMessage: Apple Support Communities

Messages.app - unable to sign in with...: Apple Support Communities

Facetime could not sign in. Please...: Apple Support Communities

If none of that helps -- and by then you will have tried about a dozen different fixes, including the ones you've already tried -- then I don't have a better suggestion than to contact Apple Support.

Apple Support Contact

Thanks Linc.

Thanks Hosts.
