FaceTime gives an error message saying, "The server encountered an error processing registration."
I am using OSX 10.7.4 on a MacBook Pro. I have used FaceTime previously on this computer, but can't be sure I have used it since updating to Lion. It is version 1.1.1 and came with the operating system. I have FaceTime on an intel desktop Mac and on my iPhone. FaceTime works well on both of them. The registration error only shows up on the MacBook Pro. I have tried the common fixes:
making sure Date and Time are automatically updated
setting the DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
looking for the invalid Keychain certificate
None of these things helped or apply. I cannot change the preferences because I cannot login to the application.
Any useful advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
I am mistrustful of the error message because I can access AOL just fine with my iPhone and with my laptop and desktop computers. In addition, during the 15 years I've been using AOL, I have never before seen this error. It is definitely an issue with my iPad. There's another attribute of the problem that I just noted: I can call up Google and tap on the AOL Mail "history tab" at the top menu bar and my mail displays correctly. However, if I tap on "AOL" from the mail page (I.e., to take me back to the AOL "Welcome" page), it times out and gives me the server error message. What gives?

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.

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 trying to download iTunes, I get an error message saying "the instaler encountered errors before iTunes could be configured. Errors occured during installation." But it gives me no more information as to what I can do. Help please?
Also I now can`t access any of my itunes library and am concerned that if I remove it from my computer I will lose everything as I have no option of accessing and therefore backing anything up. Any ideas?

Everytime that I sign on FaceTime on my macbook pro, it says "the server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later". How can I fix this so that I can use facetime again
Not a solution, but was able to login at work. Then when I got back to the hotel all was fine and it works now. Just will not change IDs I guess.

Hello, i am having problems getting face time to work, I keep getting an error message saying the server could not process the registration, I am using the username and password I always have and it has always worked in the past, any ideas?
We aren't Apple, just users like you volunteering to help other users with problems. Threatening to go to Samsung doesn't mean anything to us. What troubleshooting have you tried so far?

The Facetime can not process the registration of my Apple ID, I've tied several times, and it always says " The server encountered an error processing registration."
I had this problem and also was unable to directly access the App store and could not get iMessage to work. I disabled the firewall protection on my third party virus protection software, rebooted and was good to go. iMessage also works and I can directly access the App store, rather than enter via iTunes.

When I try to activate my FaceTime from my iMac is says," the server encountered an errorprocessing registration. Please try again later." Please help. Any ideas
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. -
I've downloaded iMessage and i can't open it...it says: The server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later.
