The message is: Could not sign in to Imessage.  The server encounter an error processing registration.  Please try again.
An I try again and again!
Is someone has any clue?
Thanks in advance!

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" 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
Boot in safe mode and log in. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including 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.

    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

    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

    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.

  • I get the following message: We could not icomplete your request. The iTunes Store is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later...Please help.

        I recently downloaded iTunes on a new computer. I have verified using another computer. I have also tried changing the compatibilty settings and other troubleshooting suggestions even though they were recommended for XP and Windows 7. My OS is Windows 8.
        Is iTunes compatible with Windows 8 or are there any suggestions to help me with this? If it isn't compatible, are there plans for future updates?

    I keep getting that too when I try to sign-in.
    Initially, when I opened iTunes this morning I got a message that said something about my iCloud has expired. When I ignored that, all purchases that are stored in the iCloud disappeared from my library listing. The only thing still in the library listing are purchases that are not currently stored in the iCloud. So, I exited iTunes and opened it again and noticed that my account had been signed-out. So, I tried to sign-in and got the "We could not complete your iTunes store request" message.

  • Can't log into FaceTime/iMessage "The server encountered an error processing registration" help?

    I've checked several other similar questions and tried everything, I can't uninstall and I would reset my mac to factory settings, where it erases everything, but I have expensive programs on here that I can't transfer until later.  Anyone have a clue what to do?

  • Facetime error using OS 10.6.8 (snow leopard) "the server encountered an error processing registration"

    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
    255.255.255.255 broadcasthost
    ::1 localhost
    fe80::1%lo0 localhost
