I have a Macbook Air and I've been trying to setup my iMessage with my iPhone so i can use my laptop to text as well. However, but the above picture remains like this for hours until I cancel it out. Do i need to reset my phone or my laptop? If i do will i lose all my content on my computer ?
MacBook Air, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)
It's an extra layer of account security for your Apple ID.
You would have set it up knowingly.
It means in addition to your password, you must enter a 6 digit verification code to access iMessage's set up. that code would come to your trusted device, which is typically your phone.
Can you sign in to appleid.apple.com? You would be prompted for a code for that as well.
Oops! I thought I took a picture of the whole thing. It has been stuck on this screen for so long.
See "Set up iMessage" here. It appears you are not being asked for your password - are you certain you typed in your Apple ID?
Do you use 2 Factor Authentication on that Apple ID?
If so, that dialog may be waiting for a verification code from a trusted device. You are running OSX 10.9.5 correct?
I am so sorry but I have no idea what 2 Factor Authentication is!! What is that? I have my iPhone with me when I am trying to set it up and I don't receive any alerts or verification codes.
