I have a MacBook Pro and I seem to have problems with my FaceTime. It want me to enter my apple ID, but when I do it comes up with a msg that says, "The server encountered an error processing registration. Try again later." What do I need to do?

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.

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.

"Server encountered an error processing registration, Try again later"?

Have been trying for a week now to access Facetime on new Imac. After entering AppleID and password, I receive the message "The server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later". Having tried again later for the last five days, is there a way around this or am I doomed to using Skype for the rest of my life?

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

Not a solution, but was able to login at work. Then when I got back to the hotel all was fine and it works now. Just will not change IDs I guess.

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...

The Facetime can not process the registration of my Apple ID, I've tied several times, and it always says " The server encountered an error processing registration."

I had this problem and also was unable to directly access the App store and could not get iMessage to work. I disabled the firewall protection on my third party virus protection software, rebooted and was good to go. iMessage also works and I can directly access the App store, rather than enter via iTunes.

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

FaceTime gives an error message saying, "The server encountered an error processing registration."

I am using OSX 10.7.4 on a MacBook Pro. I have used FaceTime previously on this computer, but can't be sure I have used it since updating to Lion. It is version 1.1.1 and came with the operating system. I have FaceTime on an intel desktop Mac and on my iPhone. FaceTime works well on both of them. The registration error only shows up on the MacBook Pro. I have tried the common fixes:
making sure Date and Time are automatically updated
setting the DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4
looking for the invalid Keychain certificate
None of these things helped or apply. I cannot change the preferences because I cannot login to the application.
Any useful advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

I am mistrustful of the error message because I can access AOL just fine with my iPhone and with my laptop and desktop computers. In addition, during the 15 years I've been using AOL, I have never before seen this error. It is definitely an issue with my iPad. There's another attribute of the problem that I just noted: I can call up Google and tap on the AOL Mail "history tab" at the top menu bar and my mail displays correctly. However, if I tap on "AOL" from the mail page (I.e., to take me back to the AOL "Welcome" page), it times out and gives me the server error message. What gives?
