Hi,

 

The Messages app would normally hold your Apple ID and Password and login as soon as you started the app without having to do so separately.

 

IF it is not letting you login what is is showing you to say that it is not doing so ?

Normally there is no indication that the Account is logged in or not until you try to send something or Start a New Message with a Contact.

 

Sometimes in Messages > Preferences > Accounts the iMessages account will show as Inactive.

These two Accounts are Inactive.

Is this what you are Seeing for the iMessages Account ?

    Hi

     

    ok, mi Apple ID it works well in my ICLOUD, but the problem I have is that neither the Imessage or my Facetime are logged. When I try to do tell me that there is an error in my ID, but I could not know what is.

    Hi,

     

    iCloud, iTunes the App Store, FaceTime and Messages are all different servers and at any one time you could have an issue with one of them.

     

    In fact you can in fact use different Apple IDs with each (and some people do)

     

    IF you have set up 2 step verification then Messages at least will need a specific password set up to use instead of the normal one for the Apple ID

     

    If that is not the issue Eric's links should help.
