Cannot connect to iMessages & Facetime since 10.8.3 update

I've updated OSX to 10.8.3 yesterday.
Since then I cannot connect to Messages or Facetime anymore using my normal Apple Id
> get "The server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later." message
I've repaired HD authorizations & keychain as well > no luck.
Before re-sintalling system, anyone with alternative solution?
Note: wired 'cause at first I thought it was linked with 10.8.3 update but my macbook has been upgraded as well and messages work fine...

Hi,
In previous iChat versions when the OS came on a DVD disk it was possible to install just iChat.
It is a shame now that the only recourse is to reinstall the whole OS.
It is also seemingly more difficult to track issues in Messages compared to iChat.
Hopefully the Restore will help the situation.

Cannot connect to imessage

I just downloaded OS X Mountain Lion and I cannot connect to iMessage. It keeps saying "The server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later. Help!

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.
If you get the same error, try resetting the NVRAM.

All of my apple sets (iphone, ipad and computer) cannot connect the app store since yesterday, what's wrong with the app store?

All of my apple sets (iphone, ipad and computer) cannot connect the app store since yesterday, what's wrong with the app store? do you know? or do you have have the same experience?

I still have access. Must be your phone or your internet connection.

Remember, any purchased item from the itunes store is forever associated with the Apple ID used to buy it. So when you get prompted for an ID/password and it doesn't accept it, then you are using the wrong ID.
Go to Settings>iTunes and App Stores, be sure it's logged into the ID you have set on the iphone (since that one seems to be connecting with the right ID). If you've done this, then you might wait a bit to see if the "cannot connect to .. store" message has to do with internet connections.

Cannot download apps to iPad since iOS 5.1 update. Get error message "An unexpected error has occurred"

cannot download apps to iPad since iOS 5.1 update. Get error message "An unexpected error has occurred"

Hi mike,
Seems like a frustrating problem! Try restarting your device, and trying again. If that doesn't work, in settings, under store, tap your apple id at the bottom of the page, and then sign out. Sign back in again, and try again.
Also, check you have enough remaining space on your iPad for the app you want to download, you can do this in settings, then general, then usage.
I also reccomend buying the app in iTunes on your computer, and then syncing it to your device.
Let me know how you get on, and I'll get back to you with further help if needed,
Nathan

Can you access other webpages via Wi-Fi?
If yes, did you check your security software settings?

My IPad says "cannot connect to iTunes store" when I try to update

My IPad says "cannot connect to iTunes store" when I try to update apps. How can I resolve this?

I had the same problem and tried absolutely everything...on my own and stuff I'd read on-line. Nothing worked. What finally did was this. I held down an app until all started jiggling. Then I deleted one of the ones that needed updating. Then pushed the round button at the bottom of the iPad to stop the movement. Then went to the "Featured" section of the App Store. In the search box (top right corner) I typed in the name of the app I'd just deleted. When it pulled up, I chose "Install". Worked perfectly. I went through this process, one-by-one, until I got all of them done. Now, everything is updated.
Sure hope this helps you and hope this isn't the new norm for how to do updates. I used to just select "Update All", entered my password, and the updates started happening.

ITunes tells me there is an update (5.1) but it never gets any further than trying to connect to the iPad server. I've tried updating directly from my iPad and it too times out saying it cannot connect to any server. My regular Apple updates work fine.

iTunes tells me there is an iOS update (5.1) but it never gets any further than trying to connect to the iPad server. I've tried updating directly from my iPad and it too times out saying it cannot connect to any server. My regular Apple updates work fine.

I haven't updated yet. Apple's download servers have been too busy. Did you know you can update via wifi instead of connection to your computer?
Here's a description of the update. Not a lot of changes for iPad 1/2.

Cannot connect to iTunes Store since evening of 23 Aug 2007

And still cannot connect this morning (24 Aug 2007).
This was working just fine on 22 Aug.
Is there any way to tell if the iTunes store is down for maintenance?

Are you getting Connection Reset messages? If so, this may sound dumb, but try this...TRY as hard as you can to log into your iTunes account. If you can get in, change your payment preferences. Switch to paypal or switch to a credit card. This is only temporary, you can change it again next time.
Quit iTunes and restart.
This fixed the problem for me. It seems that if iTunes gives you a credit it can mess things up. I found out this info from an archived thread and this thread:

I really hope this helps you. Good luck!

Cannot connect to iTunes Store since bought Sony laptop running Windows 8

I have a new Sony Vaio laptop running on Windows 8. Everything is fine with iTunes (my music etc transferred and new iPhone 5S synced no problem) except I cannot connect to the Store. The connection bar runs to about three-quarters of the way and then message pops up saying "iTunes has stopped working". Have tried uninstalling and re-installing. Has made no difference. I have ESET firewall protection but this wasn't a problem on my old Sony with Vista. Help! Thank you in advance!

Wow. Have just found a fix on another board that worked! Try this:
Copy QTMovieWin.dll from: C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\Apple Application Support
to: C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes

Cannot connect to App Store since 10.8.1

Hi there,
Brand new retina MBP, running 10.8.1 (updated via the app store).
Tried accessing the App Store after the update and I'm consistently rewarded with the frustrating error message 'Cannot connect to the App Store. An internet connection is required'. My internet connection is working and I'm posting on the computer in question (The only perculiar thing is that Diablo isn't letting me sign in either - it was working earlier, I don't know if thats related)
I've been searching online for a solution for a few hours now and I've read almost every thread in this forum on the topic, to no avail.
I've turned my firewall off
I don't have an anti-virus
My 'Allow Applications' is set to Mac App Store and identified developers
I've deleted cache's and plists
I've reset my machine multiple times
I've reset my router
I've reset safari and its caches
Changed MTU size
I've changed the class 3 certificates to always trust
I've changed the class 3 certificates to system defaults
I've enabled debug mode and reset the App store
This whole situation is super frustrating for a brand new computer, I'm hoping someone can help me out.

Hi,
I've done everything except erase and clean install. I've sent a note to Apple so we'll see what happens there. Here's a list of what I e done already:
steps:
Connected to App Store (via MacBook Air) running 10.6.8.
Upgraded to 10.8.2 via App Store.
I went to look for updates and I get the "can't connect,etc"
So I restored back to 10.6.8 time machine backup...and verified I could connect.
Tried to upgrade again: same result.
All other wifi connections appear normal and App Store browsing is fine except in updates area.
Steps I took to resolve:
Through terminal...activated the debug menu--reset app, cleared cache
Restarted -- no change
Created admin test user account
Verified that issue persists across users
Accessed App Store updates loads normally using a different MacBook Air (connected to same network) running 10.8.2
Repaired permissions on problem volume
Verified that no firewall or parental controls are blocking anything
Added alternate DNS entries -- no change
Restarted
I'm trying to avoid doing a clean install to obvious reasons. But sometimes that's what it takes.
Thanks
