HT204408 The server encountered an error processing registration.
On my macbook pro, facetime stopped working. It has been working great.
I've tried all the trouble shooting suggestions. including signing out to sign back in.
I can sign into icloud, itunes store, and have been to the 'manage your apple id... but for facetime and messages when I attempt to sign in I get "The server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later." or sometimes "The registering device does not have the appropiate credentials"
Facetime work fime on my little ipod touch.
same problem hear, went to Apple service, asked me to live the MBP for 2 days, did nt want. goback home and did full restore from time machine to the time I could use both imessage and facetime, nothing helped. in sqware 1 with the same problem. I am thinking of creating new Apple ID but dont know how its will effect all on my MBP with the old ID and not sure its will be of anyhelp. So many people have this problem and no one in Apple seems to to know the answer. either they want to increase the rate of maveric aboption (which I will not do since i want my outlook contact syncronized ) or limit the usage. I mostly missed the ability to exchange files btween iphone and MBP by attaching it to imessage.

I just bought my iMac yesterday. This is my first Mac since I have always used Windows PC so I am still trying to familiarise myself with OS X. Everything else seems to work except Facetime. Each time I log in to Facetime, it is giving me the error message - "The server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later."
I have tried checking the web for possible solutions but none seem to fix the problem. My date and time are already set automatically. I also checked the hosts file under /private/etc/hosts and it looks like this which seems to be OK.
# 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
255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
::1 locahost
fe80::1%lo0 locahost
I also checked the Keychain Access for login Certificates and it is empty.
I'm not sure what else to do. Any suggestions please?While this may be a work around for you, it is most certainly NOT the case that you need a seperate, unique Apple ID for every Apple device you own. There is clearly a bug in FaceTime that is causing problems for users, but creating multiple Apple accounts will only lead to complications later — especially if you use different accounts to purchase apps or other content from iTunes.
I suggest you take the offending device(s) to your AppleStore and get someone to help you out. This is (usually) a free service offered by Apple.
Meanwhile, Apple might lend a hand by focusing on ironing out the bugs from their network services. Network / web services have always been an Achillies heel for Apple, which has consistently had problems with its web / cloud-based services. At hardware solutions Apple is pure genius, but at web and cloud services it truly *****! Lets hope they eventually wake up to the fact that this is detrimental to users' experience of their lovely hardware. -
After installing Mountain Lion, iMessages and Facetime does not work. When I try to sign-in I get a message that says: The server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later. After 4 calls to apple and 8 and a half hours on the phone. The apple people does not how to solve the problem. The last thing they told me is that they will send the problem to their engineers and I will hear from them. unfortunately they have not contact me.
During the phone calls I tried putting the date and time in automatic, changing the username and password, I even tried using somebody elses username and password. Please help, facetime is my tool to telecomute, and it is hurting my job.I had the same problem and found the solution here:

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.

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

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 thinkWait until Apple fix it.

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.
SuzanneI 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 -

I'm trying to get onto facetime and I keep getting a message saying the server encountered an error processing registration please try again later. Can anybody tell me what is going on?
I have read over and actioned ALL recommendations many times over, and still get the Facetime error..! I have reset Host file, looked for iphone certificates, set time/date to auto, checked for suspect DNS entries, cleared caches etc etc. It's become a very fustrating problem. Worked fine for a long time but then suddenly stopped.
I wish I could find the solution... -

You may get better detailed results by asking in the Facetime forum.
