Hi, when I'm trying to sign into my Apple ID through FaceTime and iMessage on my MacBook Pro 2017 13 inch with High Sierra 10.13.5, I get an error saying, "An Error Occurred During Activation. Try Again Later." I do not own an iPhone and my MacBook is my only Apple product. Please help me out to get this issue resolved.
MacBook Pro, macOS High Sierra (10.13.5), iMessage FaceTime error Apple ID
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.
You can also try signing in on another device/computer. There have been a couple of posts where people's device/computer was blocked. You will need to contact Apple for that problem also.
There is a contact link.
