I haven't been able to use my Apple ID to access FaceTime or iMessage on my MacBook Air. It keeps saying that "there was an error during authentication". I have a strong connection, my Mac is fully updated with High Sierra 10.13.4, and my firewall isn't the cause. I can log into my iCloud account on safari and on my iPhone so I'm not sure whats going on. I've already tried reseting the NVRAM.
MACBOOK AIR (13-INCH, 2017), iOS 11.4
Have someone else attempt to sign in using their Apple ID. If they can successfully sign in and use Messages/FaceTime, it may be your Apple ID.Someone I know had this happen and I was able to sign in usingmy Apple ID. After a call to Apple Support and then being elevated to a tier 2 support person, it turned out it was a problem with their Apple ID. It took the software engineers 3-4 days to fix the problem. When calling Apple, make sure you tell them it is an Apple ID problem so you don't get charged.
