Q: Ok...who broke iMessage login with the Messages App?

All of a sudden the other day I couldn't log into my iMessage account in the Messages application on Mac OS 10.8.5 on my Macbook Pro.  ....what gives?  At first it would try to log in, then I get a window saying that I couldn't log in and to contact support, blah blah blah... And this was the "validation code" -  2759-9329-5430

 

I called support, they said that there was probably just a glitch and it'd be fixed in an hour... it's been about 4 days.  Still can't log in.  After I received that first message that took me to this page, then is just started saying "can't log in."  No more info.  Now...I'm back to getting that "validation code" page link again...

 

***, Apple?  Nothing but problems with your junk lately.  Nothing has changed on my end...  Who spilled a beer on the iCloud server again?  Cut that **** out, man!

 

...aside from that....anyone have any ideas?

    HI,

     

    Call Support again and asked to be moved up the supply chain if you don't get the right response.

     

    Basically the app is telling you that Apple have coded your account for some reason and only Support can sort it out using that number.

     

    I have read suggestions that in some cases it might be linked to the payment method listed in the iTunes Store/App Store and changing it can help.

     

    If the phone does not work or is unsatisfactory then iTunes and the App Store have a Help menu when you check out the page fully (iTunes is at the Bottom when you are In the Store.)

    Then use the Support item which will open a page in the browser.

    Select Contact Support from the bottom of the Menu

    In the next page (for the iTunes one) select the Contact iTunes Store.

    You will be offered suggestions.

    Basically follow the Manage Account options until you are offered an email contact point.

     

    The only way I know of "fixing" this messages is to contact Support.
