If you get an error saying, “error occurred during authentication” via iMessage or one saying, “error occurred during activation” via FaceTime from you Mac, please call into apple support, from the legit apple website. This happened to me and everybody kept saying “check time zone” and “log out”. None of that stuff worked for me. I called in and found out that something sent from my MacBook may have went to spam on someone else’s device and because of that, my Mac device was blacklisted from the server. A supervisor removed it for me and I was able to log in just fine. Also, its free to contact apple support.

I had to go into settings and reset network settings and I was able to sign into Messaging and Facetime. I had changed phones, and named my hot spot the same, but I think maybe the settings were different.

Thanks for the advice date and time worked for me even.
The timing was correct but the place was wrong

My iMessage decided not to work after I tried syncing my new iPad to get my messages. Now my mac, iPhone, and iPad all have the same message pop up when I try to add my email to be reached at, it says “could not sign in, please check your network connection and try again.” My network connection is fine and I’m going crazy trying to figure this out. Apple won’t help me unless I pay them and it’s a bit ridiculous that the fault is on their part and I have to pay them to fix a problem that they’re to blame for
