Q: Messages: this account blocked from registering
I know a lot people have been having message problems lately. My messages (that are linked to my phone number so its basically my iphone texts on my computer) on my Mac just started screwing up. It showed as offline so I shut down the computer and restarted and now the messages logged me out. Every time I try to log back in, it says: this account is blocked from registering

Hi,
That is a new one on me.
Could I see a pic of the alert message ?
In the mean time contact Apple Support and explain you have an Apple ID problem.
This will be free to fix but you may need to speak to a Level 2 person to do so.
The Blocking, if that what it is will happen at server level and is not something your App would do.
Neither is it something the OS would do.
It is something Apple have done (even if it is only at the iMessages servers), or caused to have done - most likely to "protect you.
