Thanks for your response, looking at my MBL serial, I still don't understand. Maybe I'll have to wipe and start all over again, which I don't want to do, because each time you do, it will be yet another machine registered against your details. You will be very surprised how many you have through your trials and errors, one way of seeing how many you have, just log into iCloud on your browser, you'll see them all, every iPhone ,iPad, macs etc and you can't remove them weather you still own them or not, this is also a debate over on the apple forum and apple starts getting jittery if you have too many against your ID. I guess thats half the problem at a the moment.
FYI, you can remove obsolete Devices/Comptuers from your iCloud account. I signed in and saw two different MacPros, two iMacs, etc. They are now gone, and tonight when I try to get iMessage to work using this new method, hopefully I'll get iMessage to work
To remove a device:
1) Sign into iCloud on your browser.
2) In the upper left corner, click the iCloud drop down, and select Find My iPhone
3) Sign into Find my iPhone
4) Click "All my Devices" in the center of the upper bar, above the map. All of your devices associated with your Apple ID will show up. It'll also tell you if these devices are offline or not.
5) Click on the device you want to remove
6) The device will attempt to be located. Once it fails, click "Remove from Account"
7) Repeat steps 5-6 for each device you want gone.
