I have a MacBook Pro and I seem to have problems with my FaceTime. It want me to enter my apple ID, but when I do it comes up with a msg that says, "The server encountered an error processing registration. Try again later." What do I need to do?

I have a MacBook Pro and have problems using my Facetime. Last time I used it without problems. Now I am trying to use it, and it is asking that I enter my Apple ID. When doing so, it comes up with a message that says, "The server encountered an error processing registrion. Try again later." What does this mean, and how do I fix it? Thanks.

When logging on to my account a receive this message "the server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later". This is not a new account. I have changed my password and nothing works. What am I doing wrong.

I'm having trouble logging into facetime. We do not have a new account. I've changed the password and still cannot get in. The message that pops up is "the server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later." I want to talk to my granddaughter but can't. Can someone help me. Thanks

I had to same problem. I found forums about adding the DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 in System Preferences - Networks I did that and it still didnt work. Just found another forum saying to go into System Preferences - Time and Date and check the Set time and Date automatically. And it worked for me. Hope it works for you too.

Hi,
As the Other threads suggests I would check the Date and Time settings on the Mac and compare that with the settings in the router.
Messages (and iChat before that) send Time stamped info to Login and to send IMs.
Obviously most people set their Macs to their Time Zone and nearest city/town.
What people sometimes forget is that their Router/Modem device(s) have to be set correctly as well.
EDIT
Also Add a Public DNS server to your System Preferences> Network > Advanced Button > DNS tab
A Google one such as 8.8.4.4 or 8.8.8.8 seem to work well for most people

Power Bi for o365 - Odata connection test worked but "The server encountered an error processing the request. See server logs for more details". Port 8051? Authority\System

We set up the Data Management Gateway and created a new data source (odata to SQL via sqL user)
Did a connection test and it was successful!
Tried the URL (maybe it needs more):
https://ourdomain.hybridproxy.powerbi.com/ODataService/v1.0/odatatest
That resolves to some :8051 port address and then spits out this message:
The server encountered an error processing the request. See server logs for more details.
I checked and the data management gateway is running.
Does that 8051 port need to be opened on our firewall for this server? How can I confirm that is the issue.. I see no event on the server indicating this is the issue?
I am seeing this event:
Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM'. Reason: Failed to open the explicitly specified database 'PowerBiTest'. [CLIENT: IP of the Server]

O365,

Request Error - The server encountered an error processing the request. The exception message is 'Unable to retrieve the requesting user's identity

I'm trying to create an Orchestrator Connector in Service manager, It is not going well.
The most resent alarm is
<p class="heading1">Request Error</p>
<p>The server encountered an error processing the request. The exception message is 'Unable to retrieve the requesting user's identity.'
For the Orchestrator Web Service URL: I have http://Server_Name:81/Orchestrator2012/Orchestrator.svc/
I created a new Run As account that uses Windows authentication, when I test the connection thats the alarm I get.
Paul Arbogast

Hi,
Can you access the URL using a browser? Does it work with the credentials used for the RunAs account?
Strange error message though - are the account you are running the console with, present in the SCSM CMDB?

i also have tried downloading "FaceTap" application to get facetime on my ipad and failed too. i thought i failed because i couldnt download latest 6.0 iOS or later. i downloaded latest software update for iOS but was 5.8 I think

Wait until Apple fix it. See: http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/

Why does my facetime say "The server encountered an error prossessing registration"? it happens everytime i try to verify my email

While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use FaceTime. There's a FaceTime Support Community where everybody uses FaceTime. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer. https://discussions.apple.com/community/mac_app_store/facetime_for_mac

When I try to login to iMessage, I get the error: The server encountered and error processing registration. Please try again later.

I've been getting this error for two weeks. I've tried rebooting the computer, resetting my network connection, and double-checking my password. The chat function works fine on my iPad and iPhone, just not on my computer. I have OS X 10.8.4 running on a MacBook Pro.
Any help GREATLY appreciated.

I have encountered the same problem as Wildwing today on my iMac. Facetime was working fine last week, but at lunch time today when my son tried to call he could not get through, although I was sitting at my iMac compiling an email at the time. Fortunately however I have an iPad Mini, which I heard ringing in another room so I picked up the call on that.
I have noticed that if I go to the FaceTime tool bar, Preferences is greyed out.
I have tried to sign in again but keep getting this message : 'The server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later.'
I have checked the outage on Support System Status, Apple is not reporting any problems. I have logged on to Apple ID and re-verified both of my Apple IDs (I use a different one for iTunes) and had no difficulty accessing my Apple ID on either account on my current passwords.
Messages which is set up with the same Apple ID as Facetime is working fine on my iMac and both Facetime and Messaes are fine on my Mini.
I have had two Apple IDs for ages, which has never caused a problem before although I am wondering if this is the issue.
Taking the 'try again later' literally, I have been trying that on and off since lunch time and I have rebooted my computer, I am still getting the same Error message.
I am at a loss to know what to do next. Help please
