iMessage/FaceTime won’t activate on MacBook Pro

Hi everyone, I’m having trouble activating iMessage and FaceTime on my MacBook Pro 13-inch Mid-2012 (MacBookPro9,2).


I’ve tried:

  • Catalina 10.15.7/10.15.8
  • Ventura with OCLP
  • Different macOS user
  • Home Wi-Fi and iPhone hotspot


My Apple Account works normally on my other devices. However, identityservicesd shows the registration reaching Apple’s servers but being rejected with status 6001 / error 31.


Has anyone experienced this or know whether it could be an Apple-side registration issue?
