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
The time zone must be correct for your location.
Make sure you know your ID (an email address) and password. The password should be in your keychain, which you access in the Keychain Access application.
Sign out of iMessage:
Messages ▹ Preferences ▹ Accounts ▹ Sign out
Then sign back in with your verified credentials.
If you get the same error, try resetting the NVRAM.

Can't sign in on iMessage on my Mac, but can on my iPad and iPhone??

I can't sign in on my iMessage on my Mac. When I put in my user name and password it just spins.... till I cancel it. rebooted. Password is correct - if I type an incorrect one, it lets me know. Thoughts? Preferences isn't available to check either. FRUSTRATED!!!

If you are having trouble signing into Messages on your Mac, try the steps outlined below:
FaceTime, Game Center, Messages: Troubleshooting sign in issues - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/ts3970
Ensure that you have an active Internet connection.
Verify that you are using a valid Apple ID at appleid.apple.com. You can also create an Apple ID or reset your password from this website. Other things you should confirm while logged into appleid.apple.com:Note You may experience issues if your email address is associated with more than one Apple ID. If you have multiple Apple IDs, log in to appleid.apple.com with each Apple ID and confirm that each email address you wish to use for FaceTime or Messages is associated with only a single Apple ID.
Confirm that the email addresse(s) for your Apple ID has been verified.
Check for miss-types of the email address
Check the spelling of the email address
Check that all letters are lower case
Make sure that special characters are correct, e.g. no commas (,) where there is supposed to be full stops (.), etc.
Make sure the date, time, and time zone are set correctly in Data & Time preferences, in System Preferences. Tip: Enable "Set date and time automatically" in Date & Time preferences to automatically keep this information accurate.
If third-party firewall or port filtering software is installed, it needs to be configured to allow connections to apple.com, verisign.com and verisign.net. A list of ports required for using FaceTime and Messages is in Using FaceTime and iMessage behind a firewall. Please consult this article for further help configuring firewalls and Internet security software.

Why can'y I delete Breaking Bad from my mac, Why can'y I delete Breaking Bad from my mac

Why can't I delete breaking bad from my mac?

There is no official public documentation of that alert as far as I know, but according to reports, it can sometimes mean that the same Apple ID is being used with the iTunes Store or one of the other Apple content stores, and the payment method is invalid. Sign in to the store and review your account. You do not, of course, have to provide any billing information to set up an account to use only with iMessage, as it's a no-charge service.
Otherwise, do what the alert tells you to do. According to reports, you won't be charged for the support call if you select "Apple ID" as the product and cite the customer code in the alert as the "validation code" to the representative.

I can delete all photos except for one album where no trash can appears. How can I get rid of the album?

I have an album of photos on my IPAD that I can not delete. It was imported from a camera card. I have managed to delete all other photos taken the same way but these appear to be stuck on the IPAD as no trash can icon appears. Also, my other photos appear in the imported folder and also albums. The photos in the album that won't delete only appear in that album?

I can access all websites except one any ideas please I have a imac 10.9.4

I have favourite sites but I find that one site in particular can not be accessed all others can

Hello Linc and Eric thanks for your help.I had a think in my sleep and came up with the following.
If I accessed a few days back in my history files the website in question then it should work as this was before my problem.
This worked so I have mow circumvented whatever it was in the (Router/modem/internet section of Imac) that is causing the issue.
So will keep this in mind and continue to get rid of problem but at least I have a work around.
Thanks guys

8820 - Can browse all websites except Faceboook

I have a Blackberry 8820, and I use the internet using Wi-Fi. When I first got it, I could surf the internet with no problem. But starting yesterday afternoon, I started having a problem when I tried to get on my Facebook. Everytime I try, there is a long wait, and then it says that it was unable to make a connection. But every other website works perfect. It's just Facebook that my phone has all of a sudden starting having trouble with. Is this a problem with a setting on my phone, or a problem with Facebook, or something else? Thanks ahead of time for any help I can get!
Matt

hmm.. I do know Facebook was down for about an hour or less this afternoon.

Browses can open all websites except youtube

Whatever safari or chrome or firefox, can't open youtube, but any other websites. I've updated the flash, use shift+restart to perform internal repair operation, check my DNS that all are gray. Still don't help. Any one can help me? Many thanks.

Try a different DNS sever...
Open System Preferences / Preferences then select the Network tab. Click the Advanced tab then click the DNS tab.
Click +
Enter these addresses exactly as you see them here.
208.67.222.222
Click +
208.67.220.220
Then click OK.
if that doesn't help, open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
Try uninstalling Flash then reinstall > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Very important to uninstall the currently installed before reinstalling new.
If you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
For Safari ... check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.

Can access all website except our companies dot com

Hello,
We are running a OS X 10.5 server. Everything seemed to be working fine but I noticed that we're unable to view our our public website internally. Safari and Firefox both say that the website's server cannot be found. Our server name is azserver.aandzlaw.com and our public domain is www.aandzlaw.com.
Do I need to add a machine record to the DNS entry to correct this problem or is it something else?
Thanks

Thanks. I was able to resolve my problem after reading this previous post

I added a A record for my domain and pointed to its public IP. Now my users can view our www site.

Can't log in to iMessages/FaceTime on Mac

I am having trouble logging in to iMessages and FaceTime on my Mac.
I read everything here and have tried a bunch of suggestions (if not all of them) in an attempt to rectify the problem. No luck. MBP 17 (late 2010), Mavericks 10.9.4
Here's what I've done and/or tried:
- Rebooting (duh)
- Resetting keychain (many times)
- Repairing permissions
- Trashed related preference files
- Booting in safe mode and attempted to log in
- Created another account on my Mac and attempted to log in to iMessage/Face Time
- Reset time zone and date/time settings to "auto."
- Disabling iCloud on my computer and re-logging in
- The mDNS/Bonjour fix via Terminal
- Disabling Flash from storing data locally
- Tried booting into Open Firmware to reset VRAM, but couldn't (may try again)
- Checked my Apple ID to ensure there are no other phone numbers/emails associated
- Enabled my email address as well as my phone # in FT and iM on my iPhone and iPad
- Disabled two-step verification on my Apple ID (just in case that was it--I've seen stranger things happen.)
Here's what DOES work:
- Logged into Game Center on my Mac
- Logging into iTunes
- Logging into iMessages on a different Mac
- iCloud, iMessages, FaceTime on my iPad and iPhone
- Checked for my Mac's serial no. (it's there)
Just updated to Mavericks 10.9.4 on 7/7/14, updated MS Office and Adobe Reader, then repaired permissions. After that, my keychain locked up, and I spent six hours figuring that all out. Once that was sorted out, the next day, I noticed I couldn't log in to iMessages. I don't know if it's a certificate problem or a server problem or what.
The error I get most commonly in Console is "unrecognized leaf certificate."
Appreciate any help.

I solved it! I solved it!
Reinstalling did not work, neither did creating a new user account. Skip down to the TL;DR section for what I did.
I created a new user and installed OS X Mavericks again. I didn't re-format the HDD, because I did not want to re-install all of my applications and wait for all that (hours and hours). This did not work at all and in fact, even more stuff "broke." After the reinstall, I could not (and still can't) log in to Apple Support or my Apple ID via Safari (have to use Firefox). Safari is telling me it can't establish a secure connection to the idsma.apple.com or to the appleid.apple.com servers. iMessages and FaceTime were still preventing me from logging in, and everything went to Hades in a handbasket. Oh--I couldn't log in to the App Store, either. I also repaired permissions while booted from the OS install disk--that didn't help either.
However, I DID FINALLY manage to get iMESSAGES TO WORK on my Mac! (This is in my original user account, not the new one I created, just FYI.) I again changed the time zone preferences from automatic to manual (with my correct time zone) and I made a change to the time preferences so that the date is displayed in the menu bar. I did that just to ensure the .plist file was updated by the OS. (I'd done this before, but since this was a new OS, I figured it might help). Then, after reading another user's tip in another thread, I logged completely out of iMessages (and iCloud, just for kicks) on my iPhone and iPad. I also went to Sys Prefs > Users and re-added my Apple ID to my computer's user id/login.
I don't know how much this matters, but when I did that, the "caution" icon (yellow triangle with exclamation point) appeared next to the Apple ID info in the Sys Prefs. I double-clicked it to see if it would tell me anything, and it disappeared. I re-launched iMessages, and I kid you not, it logged me in! WOOT! Then I logged in to iTunes, iCloud, and the App Store. I also re-logged in on my 2 iOS devices, and it's all good. <happy dance>
Now, if I could only figure out the screwy problem with Safari and the idsma.apple.com and appleid.apple.com servers. Meh. I can log in w/ Firefox, and at least I can actually do some damned WORK on my computer now (it's only been 4 days iof this BS)!
TL;DR, try this:
1. Make the time zone on the Mac not automatic (but correct to your time and zone), and change something in that pref. pane so that it overwrites the old prefs file.
2. Log out of iMessages, iCloud, etc., on your iOS devices
3. Un-associate your Apple ID with your computer user login (in System Preferences > Users and Groups).
4. Sign out of iCloud on your Mac.
5. Reboot.
6. Re-associate your Apple ID with your user login. If you see a caution icon next to it, double-click. Should disappear.
7. Launch iMessages and attempt to log in.
8. Then log in to iCloud via System Preferences > iCloud
If that doesn't work, do these steps, then go back to # 1, above.
9. Delete all the Apple tokens and keys in the Keychain (might break some other things--may be why I can't log in via Safari right now).
10. Reinstall Mavericks/OS X.
11. Repeat steps 1–8.
Final thoughts: My serial number did appear in System Information, and I'd never had the motherboard replaced (or anything else, for that matter) on this Mac. However, this is an Apple Certified refurbished Mac, and it could be that the motherboard was replaced before I ever even owned it. Again, my S/N displayed as it was supposed to, but it could that this was part of the problem. Seems far-fetched, but...

I can get every OS except mavericks??? Why???

We want to upgrade one of our iMacs from 10.6.8 to 10.9.0, but the installer is nowhere to be found. I can buy every OS up to 10.8 and get Yosemite for free, but I can't get Mavericks at all???
Am I missing something?

Apple removed it when Yosemite came out. Nobody on these boards will know exactly why or if it’ll be coming back.
