I continue to get the message " the server encountered an error processing registration" whenever I try logging onto Facetime on my Mac! Help?
I have been browsing the disscusions on this site, and I have tried everything suggested; changing time, restarting computer, fooling around with the keychains, even trying my sisters apple id! I dont know why my Facetime has randomly stopped working and I know that there is already alot of information out there but I thought I would ask again to see if anyone had any new ideas or ways they could help! Thanks!!
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
Kim

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

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.

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 -

After instaliling lion I get this error on Facetime "The server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later."
what can I do?YES!! It worked for me too. I tried another suggestion from a different thread and my computer already had the correct host info. So for some reason, Facetime needs the date/time set to automatic.

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. -
My iMessage application stopped working. iMessage is apparently having trouble logging in using my apple_id. It works fine with my iPhone and iPad. When attempting to login to iMessage using my apple_id I get the following message "The server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later." If I try to log into the appstore, I simple get "An unknown error has occurred" Any suggestions?
Hi, see if it's one of these...

Post subject: NSURLErrorDomain error -1100 in OS X 10.8
If you check for software updates using the App Store in OS X 10.8 and get "NSURLErrorDomain error -1100" the problem may be with your Software Update preferences. This is particularly likely if you were using a custom Apple Software Update server. To solve the problem, quit the App Store, move the following two files (if present) to the trash, restart, and only then rerun App Store updates:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate.plist.lockfile

I was recently trying to upgrade to mountain lion through the app store. I have unreliable Internet from a cable company whom I will not name, but we all know who they are. My Internet dropped while downloading the upgrade. Once I went through the notorious unplug the modem/router and plugged it back in to gain Internet connectivity again, I could not resume. No matter what I did, the app store kept displaying "an error occurred." I am hoping that those with the same issue read this first to save them hours of skimming through the Internet to find a solution. Here are the steps to take:
1. Make sure you have reestablished Internet connection
2. Chances are you got frustrated when you tried to resume/unpause the download and clicked the "X" to the left. If so, select the "Store" drop-down menu from the App Store and select "View My Account." There should be an option to unhide your purchase. You know what to do.
3. There is also an option to reset all warnings for buying and downloading under "View My Account." Do this, click "Done," sign out of the App Store and quit the App Store.
4. Open the Preferences in safari and select Privacy. Select "Remove All Website Data." Just do it.
5. Launch the app store and sign in.
6. Now, if you "Check for Unfinished Downloads" everything works peachy.
I hope this helps. Not much I can do for your Internet connection though.
