HT4199 Hello Im have issues with my Face time app. Please help.

When loading Facetime I am prompted with a message that reads....The server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later....
Thus, I have tried to make a new account and I'm still unable to create one.

This could be a complicated problem to solve, as there are many possible causes for it. Test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Back up all data before making any changes.
Before proceeding, test on another network, if possible. That could be a public Wi-Fi hotspot, if your computer is portable, or a cellular network if you have a mobile device that can share its Internet connection. If you find that iMessage works on the other network, the problem is in your network or at your ISP, not in your computer.
Step 1
Check the status of the service. If the service is down, wait tor it to come back up. There may be a localized outage, even if the status indicator is green.
Step 2
Sign out of iMessage on all your Apple devices. Log out and log back in. Try again to sign in.
Step 3
Restart your router and your broadband device, if they're separate. You may have to skip this step if you don't control those devices.
Step 4
From the menu bar, select
 ▹ About This Mac
Below the "OS X" legend in the window that opens, the OS version appears. Click the version line twice to display the serial number. If the number is missing or invalid according to this web form, take the machine to an Apple Store or other authorized service center to have the problem corrected.
Step 5
Take the steps suggested in this support article. If you don't understand some of the steps or can't carry them out, ask for guidance.
Step 6
From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Network
If the preference pane is locked, click the lock icon in the lower left corner and enter your password to unlock it. Then click the Advanced button and select the Proxies tab. If the box marked SOCKS Proxy is checked, uncheck it. You don’t need to change any other settings in the window. Click OK and then Apply. Test.
The result may be that you can't connect to the Internet at all. Revert the change if that happens, or if iMessage still doesn't work. Remember that you must Apply any changes you make in the preference pane before they take effect.
Step 7
Select from the menu bar
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Storage
and click
Block all sites from storing information on this computer
Close the preference pane.
Step 8
Make sure you know the ID and password you use with iMessage. Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Use the search box in the toolbar of the Keychain Access window to find and delete all items with "iMessage" or "com.apple.idms" in the name. Log out and log back in.
Step 9
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
If iMessage worked in the guest account, stop here and post your results.
Step 10
Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and test again.
If iMessage worked in safe mode, but didn't work when you booted out of safe mode, stop here and post your results.
Step 11
Reset the NVRAM.
Step 12
Reinstall OS X.
Step 13
If none of the above steps resolves the issue, make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store, or contact Apple Support.

  • Issue with Proportional Spreading Script. Please help !

    Hello,
    I have a requirement where I need to write a spreading script for a data form. On this form user will enter data at a parent level and what the script needs to do is spread the parent level input value to the 0 level members proportinally based on the values already existing in the 0 level members.
    Say the account member is “X”. All the other members on the data form in the POV/Page/Rows and Columns are 0 level members except for one that is Product which is in the Page
    Product
    - A
    - B
    I came up with this basic logic for the proportinal spread. Ofcourse I will need to include some logic with IF statement or something else to check if the cell belongs to product A or product B. For now, assuming the value is being input for A so now we need to spread that value at A to 0 level members proportionally.
    “X” = ((“X” -> (@CURRMBR(“Product”)*100)/(Previous Parent Value *100))*”X”->”A”
    Example with numbers:
    Current member cell value = 100 (0 level member for Product A)
    Previous Parent Value = 200 (Value for A)
    New Parent Value = 400 (User inputs this new value by overwriting the previous value 200)
    So, X = ((100*100)/(200*100))*400 = 200
    Now, the logic of the formula makes sense to me and would spread proportionally, but my question is how would we get the “Previous Parent Value to calculate the % as the user will overrite it with a new value = 400 before running the rule. So, we would not have 200 anymore and unless we have it we wont be able to know the % to do a proportional spread.
    I apologize if this is confusing, but please help me with your ideas on how can I achieve this proportional spreading script. I would really appreciate your inputs.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Have you not asked this earlier?
    Business Rule - Allocation Script Logic - Not working ! Please help.
    But in hindsight, I think there's a little problem with the script I had posted. This was what I suggested:
    SET UPDATECALC ON;
    FIX(“AccountMember”,”FY11”,”EntityMember”,”Local”,”Working”,”BU”,@LEVMBRS(“Product A”,0),@LEVMBRS(“Product B”,0),”Current”,@LEVMBRS(“Dept”,0),LEVMBRS(“Customer”,0))
    &Currmonth
    &Currmonth = @PARENT(Product)*(&Currmonth/@SUMRANGE(&Currmonth,@RELATIVE(@PARENT(@Currmbr(Product)),0)));
    ENDFIX;The problem I see here, every time the script calculates a product, the total of the siblings of the product changes and when it calculates the next product, allocation is done based on a different different total. To overcome this, you can try it this way:
    SET UPDATECALC ON;
    FIX(”FY11”,”EntityMember”,”Local”,”Working”,”BU”,@LEVMBRS(“Product A”,0),@LEVMBRS(“Product B”,0),”Current”,@LEVMBRS(“Dept”,0),LEVMBRS(“Customer”,0))
    &currmonth(
    @calcmode(bottomup);
    /*copy original values to somewhere else to make sure allocation base doesn't change*/
    "AccountMemberAllocBase"="AccountMember";
    Endfix
    FIX("AccountMember",”FY11”,”EntityMember”,”Local”,”Working”,”BU”,@LEVMBRS(“Product A”,0),@LEVMBRS(“Product B”,0),”Current”,@LEVMBRS(“Dept”,0),LEVMBRS(“Customer”,0))
    &Currmonth
    @calcmode(bottomup);
    &Currmonth = @PARENT(Product)*(&Currmonth->"AccountMemberAllocBase"/@SUMRANGE(&Currmonth->"AccountMemberAllocBase",@RELATIVE(@PARENT(@Currmbr(Product)),0)));
    ENDFIX;

  • Having issue with Airport Express and Itunes - Please Help

    Ok, I am having a very odd issue with my wireless music network all of a sudden, and it's driving me nuts. I have searched the forum and I don't get the sense that anyone else is having this issue.
    My house consists of multiple machines, but I have my music on two computers - my G5 desktop and a Mac Mini. I am in the process of encoding all of my CDs to Apple Lossless for storage on the G5, and access of this library provided to all machines on the network (6 total including the G5).
    I have 2 airport express units in the house, each connected to a stereo. I have been using this setup for about a year or so, with no problems.
    Suddenly now, when playing music wirelessly, the music (and I know this is going to sound weird) has intermittent popping, will skip alot (like a CD player skips), and seems to almost speed up during the skipping. It is SO weird, and I have no clue how to fix it.
    I am mainly confused as to where the issue could be coming from. Is it the airport network? Is something wrong with Itunes? Something wrong with the machines? Interference in the home? B/c I have not had this issue before, I am not sure how to even troubleshoot it. I do know that until about a month ago, I had none of these issues.
    Within the last 30 days, the only changes that I made were that 1) I have been encoding files to Apple Lossless (but I had some of these before with no streaming issues), 2) I purchased a Mac Mini (not sure what impact this would have), and I upgraded to the latest Itunes.
    Any thoughts you can provide for me are very appreciated. ***** to finally be setting up this music server and now start having wireless music issues. Thank you in advance for your help.
    Eric
    G5 2.5Ghz   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    I'm also suffering from skipping/sped up music, only when streaming certain internet radio stations to my Express (for example, friskyRadio in the electronica section). Mine's setup not to distribute IP addresses, if that's relevant.
    Other than installing iTunes version 7 (now at 7.0.1) nothing has changed on my network, or on my computer.

  • Major issue with restoring to backup. Please help!!

    So I pluged my iPhone 4 into my Mac mini just to keep things all synced up. I did things the same way that I have done countless other times. But when I ejected my iPhone I found that the address book was all screwed up.  Most of the numbers were gone although maybe 10% remained (and a random 10% too, not the newest or oldest 10%). I toyed around with it and couldn't figure out the issue so I just decided to restore from old backup.  But when I clicked this the iPhone sits there for a good 30 min before I get the message:
    iTunes could not back up iphone because the backup could not be saved on the computer.
    Now I know the recent backup is on there becuase it comes up as an option. And in my recent calls list there are the contact names but those names mostly are not saved under my contacts (wierd!).
    I also have selected the option to replace the phone contact list with the address book from my computer (because the computer address book was uneffected), and it doesn't fully sync. I still only have the 10% of the contact list.
    Im not happy right now and dont know what to do. PLease help!!!
    THANKS!

    I have tried that and more weird stuff happened. Calender didnt sync. Notes did. Also only kept that weird 10% of my contacts. Transfered zero pictures over and all my settings were completely reset.
    This is making me really not happy

  • I'm having a weird issue with my 3Gs using WIFI, please help me!

    Everything was fine before today, and suddently I can't access internet via WIFI. The weird thing is that when I turn Wi-Fi off and back on, the iPhone can access internet for like 30 secs, and it goes dark again. I have constantly strong WIFI signal and my computer works fine. I've tried to reset my network settings and everything, it just keep happening.
    Please HELP!

    If no change after resetting network settings on your iPhone and/or after restoring your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup (wi-fi settings are included with your iPhone's backup and if there is a problem with the settings included with your iPhone's backup, restoring from the backup will also restore the problem), more than likely your iPhone has a hardware failure with the wireless card or with something else.

  • Issue with HDMI adapter of N8 (Please help)

    Okay here's the thing.
    I just bought a Nokia N8 yesterday and it works great so far but there's only 1 problem.
    I tried to connect a standard HDMI cable (the one I got when I bought a Sony TV) to the HDMI adapter provided with the N8. However, the standard HDMI cable just won't fit in to the adapter.
    Am I using the wrong HDMI cable? Anyone knows what's the problem? Please help me
    THANKS

    If you've opened the small HDMI cover on the end of the phone, and the supplied cable fits in the port, then you are using the correct cable, if the cable from your TV will not fit in the Normal sizws female end of the HDMI adaptor, then one of them os faulty or damaged, as a stendard |HDMI cable fits easily enouch into the cable provided in the box by Nokia !

    <Email Edited By Host>

    It's a really bad idea to post your email address - it's an invitation to spam - and I've asked the Hosts to remove it. No-one is likely to email you (except spammers).
    There's no need to post the text of the feed - it's not a lot of help much of the time. The URL of the feed is what's needed to enable detective work.
    You have a fatal error in your feed, though it's in line 16 not line 19. Line 16 reads:
    <itunes:image href="https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/podcast01/LosslessLogo-1400x1400.jpg” />
    It's not that easy to see here, but you have 'curly quotes' at the end of the URL. These are not allowed in XML and wreck the feed. Because they aren't recognized as closing quotes it looks as if the next few lines are part of the URL, hence the error showing up as being in line 19.
    You need to use the same 'straight' quotes that you have at the beginning of the URL.
    You are also likely to run into problems when submitting the feed to the iTunes. Same URLs will work with http at the front rather than https.
    Though it may not cause any difficulties, to be strictly correct you should have this line at the beginning of your feed:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    It must be the very first thing in the feed, with nothing whatever before it. Otherwise the feed seems to be OK.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1368
    Specific to iPad are the following:
    Troubleshoot issues on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    If you haven't been able to connect to the iTunes Store:
    Make sure your date, time, and time zone are correct in Settings > General > Date & Time.
    Note: Time Zone may list another city in your time zone.
    Make sure that your iOS software is up to date by tapping Settings > General > Software Update (iOS 5 or later) or connecting your iOS device to iTunes and clicking Check for Update on your device's Summary page.
    Check and verify that you're in range of a Wi-Fi router or base station. If you're on a device with cellular service, make sure that cellular data is turned on from Settings > General > Cellular.
    Note: If connected to cellular data, larger items may not download. You may need to connect to Wi-Fi to download apps, videos, and podcasts.
    Make sure that you have an active Internet connection. You can check the user guide for your device for help with connecting to the Internet.
    Make sure that other devices (portable computers, for example) are able to connect to the Wi-Fi network and access the Internet.

  • I have issues with Flash Player 10, can you help resolve this?

    Hello everyone,
    At the risk of giving too much information:
    I run a Mac iMac 2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2.5 GB 667 MHz DDR2 5 DRAM with OS X version 10.4.11
    The issue:
    I recently did the following things,
    a) Downloaded and used Safari Version 4 Public Beta (4528.17) Without any issues.
    b) Downloaded and used Flash Player 10.
    Prior to this I wasn't aware of any issues, so I shall assume that Safari and Flash Player 9 worked fine together.
    I also run Opera version 10.00 Beta, Firefox version 3.0.1.0
    Here's the issue, when I visit BBC iPlayer and select a TV or Radio progamme I get this warning ..."A script in this movie is causing Adobe Flash Player 10 to run slowly.  If it continues to run. your computer may become unresponsive.  Do you want to abort the script?" YES/NO ( attached file).
    Selecting Yes or No results in the TV or Radio Progamme continuing to play but all control is lost so a Force quit is neccessary.
    This issue applies to Firefox and Opera.
    Sky.com doesn't appear to suffer these issues in as much when I've uninstalled Flash Player, Sky asks for 10 to be installed and works fine once it's done.  I should add that I installed Adobe AIR after the issues began without any resolution.
    No doubt when you know what the issue is it's resolved in a flash, so come on who out there can help me...please.

    Hello Chris,
    Thanks for the Flash settings instructions, that was useful and now I understand that all those particular options are available from a right click.  Having said that in this case I still wasn't able to resolve my issue, although I can right click and by clicking anywhere in the Adobe Flash Player Settings panel select or deselect there doesn't appear to be anyway to save that selection,(attached). 
    I should say at this point that I'm thinking that if my issue might be display speed then by disabling hardware acceleration this might resolve the issue.
    Regards
    Chris Antjoule
