MacBook Air iMessage doesn't work? Please help!

[iMore Question]

Recently bought a MacBook and the iMessage isn't working on it. I put my details in (and they are entered correctly) and press 'sign in' but nothing happens. No buffer wheel, nothing... The only thing that happens is the 'sign in' button goes from blue to grey once clicked ad then it just turns blue again. Any help would be very appreciated.

Did you make sure you have a strong connection & you have handoff turned on, on your phone?

Welcome to iMore! How long as this been happening? It can take up to 24 hours for iMessage to activate on a new device.
