Facetime issue - Server encountered error processing registration?
When I attempt to sign in to use facetime on my macbook pro, it accepts my ID and password, then it asks if that is the email I want to use to make calls, I click next and then it goes back to the sign in screen and says "the server encountered an error processing registration. please try again later." I have set up and used facetime many many times before, this problem just occurred last week and I have been trying to sign in to use it once a day.. any ideas?
did eveything and it did not work? Where is the date and time that I need to check? Settings?
Thanks!

I cannot connect to FaceTime, encountered "error processing registration, please try later" message on my Macbook Air, but I don't have this problem on my IMac. Can anyone help?
I have the same problem on my iMac. My facetime has been working, but now I'm getting the same error as You. I've been through the following:
The stuff that Linc Davis suggested, new profile on iMac, moved iMac into DMZ zone with no firewall rules, tested with other Apple-ID, checked hosts file, checked different timezone settings, tried to connect to 2 mobile APs (with diferent providors), changed DNS servers (ISP's DNS + Google DNS + Open DNS) - Nothing helped. Also talked to Apple Support, since i have Apple Care, but the seem to be a bit clueless also Well I've mailed them the results of my different tests, so lets see what they come up with - Unfortunately I'm sure it will be the same suggestion as all the major PC manufactures suggests, reinstall and test - RIGHT !!!!!!
If I get solution, I'll post it here.
Kind Regards

Server encounters error processing cannot complete sign in
Trying to set up face time for mac. Cannot get past the which email to you wish to use page. "server entountered error processing registration" keeps popping up.
HelpHi chickfeed,
Thanks for your friendly response.
Many thanks.
Managed to get this sorted - the microsoft user account was corrupted. Did a refresh on the PC. VS is sort of working after several hours of downloading updates.
So the precious issue has been resolved, am I right? If so, would you mind marking the useful reply as the answer?
VS states that I have visual studio extensions for windows library for javascript - but I do not. I think it is referring to a previous download of VS. I cannot get tools>extensions to download it again.
For this new issue, my suggestion is that you could post a new case in this forum, you know that one thread for one issue, it would be better if you open up a new thread for the new question. In this way, our discussion here will not deviate too much from
the original issue. This will make answer searching in the forum easier and be beneficial to other community members as well.
Thank you for supporting my work:)
As far as I know, we could uninstall it under Programs and Features, if you make sure that you didn’t install it before, maybe you could check it whether you could get it there.
Actually we could download this library here:

I can't seem to manage to get logged into facetime on my MacBook Pro using OS 10.6.8, Snow Leopard. It keeps giving me the error of "the server encountered an error processing registration, please try again later" Well two days later its the same issue, can someone please help!! I see a lot of the fixes on here are for the upgraded operating system, and everyone seems to have had snow leopard work fine...why cant I!!! help the old school op system user PLEASE!! :-)
I've been trying to get an answer to this problem for MONTHS. I upgraded both my iMac and my MacBook Pro to Mountain Lion, and ever since, FaceTime and iMessage stopped working. I got the "Server encountered an error . . ." So, I called Apple "support" and they claimed they haven't heard of this issue. I said I find it hard to believe since it's apparently a huge problem for tons of users and is all over the Apple forums. After spending an hour on the phone with "support", they said they had to pass i on to a senior engineer and they'd call me back within 2 days with an answer. After waiting a week, I decided to go to the place where I should have gone before, the place where all questions can be answered, even those too advanced for Apple, that place . . . YouTube.
Fixing the time issue didn't work for me, nor did any other solution that has been posted on the boards. Yet after watching a 1:24 video on YouTube, both FaceTime and iMessage now work for me.
Here's the solution which WILL work.
You do need to first make sure your date/time settings are correct and set to adjust automatically. But doing just this step will not fix the problem.
Open Finder, click on "Go" at the top menu, then select "Go To Folder"
Type in /etc and hit enter
You'll see a file called "hosts". Drag that file to your desktop.
Right click on that file and open with Text Edit
Select all the text in that file, delete it and replace it with the text below, exactly as it is below. Then save the new hosts file (just exiting will save it). And then drag that new hosts file back into the /etc folder to replace the old one. After that, your FaceTime and iMessage will work, no thanks to Apple.
# Host Database
# localhost is used to configure the loopback interface
# when the system is booting. Do not change this entry.
127.0.0.1 localhost

Facetime the server encountered an error processing registration
Hi to all,
i used facetime on my macbook pro months ago, today i run it and after it asked me for my Apple ID and password (so i logged in) it asked me for my e-mail. I typed the e-mail linked to my Apple ID and i clicked to forward, it says "checked" on top of the application but suddenly it goes back and says "the server encountered an error processing registration".
I tried all the ways found on the web like edit /etc/hosts or delete certificate... but nothing has been helpful.
What can i do?
Thanks in advance for your supportHi, janchris.

When ever i try logging into FaceTime or iMessage on my Macpro i get The server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later. what could be the problem..N.B I'm located in trinidad in the caribbean message
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

Facetimer: server encountered an error processing registration
Hello,
This morning, I had no problem signing on to my FaceTime on my Macbook Pro. Later, I updated my IPhone 4's software to the latest version, and now my Macbook Facetime isn't working. When I try to login, I get "Server encountered and error processing registration. Try again later." I've tried changing my password, and I'm still getting the message. What am I missing?
Thanks!Hi,
I had the same problem, I guess Facetime must have access to your current location and time, just make sure you check "Set time zone automatically using current location" box at System Preferences >Date &Time >Time Zone
Cheers,
