HT1338 Face Time connection problem

I keep trying to use face time on my macbook pro and it keeps saying "the server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later." it has said this since I bought it. My face time works fine on my phone and ipad. What should I do?

Back up all data.
Take the steps suggested in this support article:
FaceTime, Game Center, Messages: "There was an error processing registration" when signing in
Sign out of iMessage:
Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
Then sign back in with your verified credentials. Note that the password of some Apple ID's will expire periodically.
If you get the same error, try resetting the NVRAM.

  • Face time connection fails when I try to connect

    I have used face time to chat with my grandkids on several occasions through my iPhone 5C to their iPod touch devices, and it worked fine.  But lately when we tried to facetime is says  FAILED.    They are able to text me and send pictures and I can do that to them but the face time connection fails just as we try to answer the call.
    I've tried face timing others and it works.   But not to the grandkids.   Any thoughts?

    Is your iPhone on the latest version of iOS (7.1.1 right now)?
    If so, have your grandkids check their iPod touches - they need to be running the latest version of iOS that their devices can handle in order for FaceTime to work.

  • Face time's problem in my Ipod touch (Gen 4)!

    Suddently my iPod Touch (FACE TIME) couldn't show the video/camera, but I still could listen their voice, NOT their face, then my friends still could see my face. I tried to check the icon Setting - Face time... it was ON. How should I do to solve my problem. Thank you for your help !

    Does the from camera work via the Camera app?
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.

  • Face time sound problem on macbook

    using face time on my mac the voice on my side going out goes mute and my computer seems to heat up. just to clarify the person(s) i call can hear me for a while and the they lose my voice and it is not because i hit the mute icon. anyone have the same problem?

    Assuming you are running Lion or Mountain Lion, did you download the Windows Support software when you ran Bootcamp Assistant? Did you save the Windows Support software per the instructions you printed from within Bootcamp Assistant? Did you install the Windows Support Software from within Windows per the instructions in Bootcamp Assistant?
    If you are running Snow Leopard the Windows Support Software is not downloaed it is on your Snow Leopard install disk.

  • Sad face and connection problems

    When I turn on my iPod, it shows me the Apple logo and then the sad face. Then it turns off. When I connect it to my Mac, it doesn't show up on the desktop and on my iPod's screen, it repeats the Apple/sad face sequence. When I plug it into my recharger, it repeats the Apple/sad face sequence. I would restore it, but when I run iPod Updater it is useless because my iPod won't show up on the desktop. I've had this iPod for a long time now. I haven't changed any software. A few weeks ago, I was with my friends. We wanted to play haki sack so I put my iPod in my jacket pocket and put it GENTLY on the floor. Later, we moved location and my friend took my jacket for me. I'm not sure if it was dropped, but I have dropped it once in the past. After that day, my iPod would freeze randomly while playing a song and I would have to restart it. Now, it is dead.

  • Any Date and Time Connection Problems?

    My clock doesn't setup properly at startup, all the time. Do I just need a new PRAM battery? I believe it happened on my Quicksilver, too ... that's why I ask below about the Server. I did get my Quicksilver off eBay ... so it might need a battery, too.
    Or is Apple's Time Server having periodic problems? or do I have DSL timing issues?
    I am running OS X 10.3.9 on an XPostfacto PowerPC 9500. Shouldn't matter, software wise.
    Mac Plus, Performa 6116, PPC 8500, 9500, QS 2@1GHz   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    Mine are PPC 9500 G3/500, PPC 8500 G4/450, QS Dual 1GHz
    I still think there is a problem with Apple Americas ... I got the correct time and date with Apple Europe, and the same bad result from Apple America. My zone is set correctly.
    So, I've gone totally Euro.
    Thanks.

  • Face Time in 10.7.2 Lion

    Hello Folks, I am UK based
    I recently became an Apple convert.  My system is an late 2009 27” iMac with a 1Tb TimeCapsule.  I use an Ethernet wired connection for my iMac from my modem/router router with wired Ethernet HomePlug for my TV and other Windows based PCs.  Laptops can access the net from either the TimeCapsule Airport wireless or the wireless modem/router depending on wireless card and software.
    I see the threads regarding Face Time connection problems.  Perhaps my experience may be of some help.   Please bear with the longish story before I get to the point.
    I started to question my ISP about my poor download rate through my local exchange by using the ADSL and Fibre to the Cabinet diagnostics tool from speedtester.bt.com.  I took readings over many months and showed that on my supposed 8Mbps download rated line I was getting anywhere between less than 1 to 4.5 Mbps.  I eventually was told by my ISP that it could be my old modem/router and that I should try to upgrade to an ADSL2/2+ variant to see if that improved the rate. The ISP told me that the modem/router and the network card interact and the network card in the exchange decide and set the IP profile to what it thinks my router and the line can handle.  Fair enough, the exchange is 3.5 miles away and we are fairly remote in the countryside.  The speedtester states that for my connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 600-7150 Kbps.  I used a Belkin F5D7630-4A ADSL wireless modem/router but I changed to the F5D7632-4 in my attempt to improve the speed. I then bought an Edimax AR-7284 MnA 150 Mbps Wireless ADSL2+ modem/router in an attempt to improve matters.  This worked and I achieved a fairly consistent speed around 5 to 5.5 Mbps.
    Meanwhile I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Lion 10.7 from the App store when it was released.  My daughter bought a Macbook Air.  We tried to connect through FaceTime.  When I was working with either of the Belkin routers FaceTime worked seamlessly.  As soon as I used the Edimax router we could not connect.  Nothing I gleaned from any of the support threads, changing DNS settings or using specific ports etc helped.  I asked Edimax support to advise and see if they could get the application to work but they too were unable.  The Edimax also barred me from my secure banking connection and a few other websites and nothing I did resolved this.  I had the Edimax replaced but the replacement did the same.  I then replaced it with a Belkin F5D8365uk4-v1ADSL2/2+ modem/router, this unfortunately was faulty but was replaced.  FaceTime worked seamlessly on this variant but it made no difference to the download rate from the exchange.  I now realise that the Belkin F5D7632-4 is an ADSL2 modem/router and from its LAN setup webpage shows Data Rate Down/Up of 6720Kb/448Kb and thus should give me the best that my line can give which is about 5 to 5.5 Mbps.  I have reverted to using it but still have line rate issues.
    FaceTime still works perfectly with the Belkin F5D7632-4 as it did with the later variant. 
    My point. 
    Perhaps it is the hardware that causes all these FaceTime problems and not the Apple Software.
    Thanks for reading.  Comments greatfully received.  A Festive Season to all.
    Speckled Jim

    Have you checked your firewall settings? You have to allow incoming connections for your application (i.e. FaceTime).

  • Can't connect Face Time from my iPhone 4S to my iMac

    Hello, I have a problem similar to one many people seem to be having, in that I can't get Face Time to connect. The difference with me is that I can Face Time connect from the iMac to the iPhone 4S but not vice versa. When I try the latter, the connect button appears momentarily on the iMac before disappearing and an alert appearing on the iphone saying that the email address I'm trying to contact "is busy"
    The same applies to my MBP
    Any suggestiions for fixes
    I am in the UK, by the way, using O2 with wifi.

    are you using the same Apple ID on both devices? If so, that is the problem. Its much like trying to call your own phone number with a regular phone, you'll be forwarded straight to voicemail.
    let me know if this helps.

  • Using face Time can I make video connection simultaneously with an apple lap top and a iPhone 4?

    Using an iMac can I make a Face Time connection simultaneously with an apple lap top (has face time app) and an iPod4 (also has face time app)? If so, how?

  • Can't see other party when face time's connect!

    Can't see other party when face time connect. Other party can't see me either !

    Do a Reset and try again - [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

  • Airport Extreme "Show Time Connected" Display

    "SHOW TIME CONNECTED" problem
    I have a relatively minor problem with my Airport Extreme. I have elected to have the “Show time connected” displayed in my menubar. For the last few months, and certainly since I upgraded to OS 10.7, the time connected display keeps resetting itself, sometimes actually back into negative time, showing as a negative time connected and gradually working its way up to zero. At other times it will seem to work accurately for a day or 2 and then reset itself back to 0.
    This does not seem to affect my  Airport Extreme function which does not disconnect or dysfunction. It seems that it is only the timer itself that keeps resetting itself. I know this is a minor issue but would be happy for any advice on how to correct it.
    Thanks very much.

    I ran OS 10.5 for 3 years with my Time Capsule and never saw a negative time.  I recently updated to 10.6, but I don't think that that caused the problem, although I didn't check the apparent connected time on another computer.
    "...only seems to affect a few users." is not a defense.  Apple's job is to write software that always works, not that works mostly.  I'm not sure that there would be a flood of reports.  I think that most people don't turn this option on.  It's an obscure setting (people ask where it is in other forum posts) and of little apparent value.  I use it because it's the only reliable indicator that I am actually connected to the internet.  I would not have upgraded the firmware on my TC except that the flashing yellow light (that I can't reset) made detecting other problems with the TC impossible.
    I should also point out that on a recent trip I connected to a wi-fi router that does not support displaying the connected time.  However, my computer continued to display the time that my TC had been connected when last it spoke to my computer.  This does appear to be a 10.6 bug, as 10.5 never did this.

  • Is there a problem with FaceTime, can not connect. When dial it connects and drops. When friends are calling me they have calling message and I have connecting but it does not connect. Need help, face time is my life line.

    Face time not working. When dialled it says connecting and drops immediately. When my friends calling it show connecting but it does not.
    Is there a problem with face time. I am in south Africa, it was working perfectly up to Easter. Please help this is my life line.

    There is a barely acknowledged issue. For Mac users Apple has released an update to the app, but for iOS users the recommendation is for users to update their ipad to the most recent operating system.
    There may be a fix coming for iOS6 users (which seem to be many of those having problems) or there may not be. If your ipad isn't up to date then you can update it and see if that helps, or if you don't want to update then you may want to wait and see if there is either a fix or if it fixes itself.
