Hi,


You state "massage" rather than Messages. 😉

Do you mean just the iMessages account within Messages or all Accounts that you have ?

HI,


In that case if the issue arose with OS X 10.8.2 then do this:-

IN the Apple Icon Menu > About this Mac click twice on the line that shows you the current OS version.


It will change to the Build Number of the OS and then to the Serial Number of the Mac.


If id does not show the Mac Serial Number your will have to visit an Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider to have it "flashed" back to the logic board.


It seems that the serial number is used to uniquely Identify your computer to then get an Authorisation Token that gets stored in the Keychain.


If the Number is not there - usually "forgotten" when the board is replaced fro some reason - then the Token does not appear.
