First: You may want to check via Apple menu > System Settings > General > Software Updates, to see whether your Mac is up-to-date with the newest compatible MacOS version for that model. (If you choose to update, it is wise to back-up your Mac first)


If your Mac is already using the newest compatible MacOS version for that model:

Try restarting your Mac (ie: Apple menu > Restart) This deletes temporary files, re-establishes connections, may update recent setting or other changes, and often restores order if something is not working as expected.


If you still cannot access Messages and FaceTIme:

Apple support provides a trouble-shooting article (link below) that may be helpful:
