Server encounters and error when using FaceTime on MacBook Pro but not while using on iPad

Whenever I try to use FaceTime on MacBook Pro, it tells me "the server is encountering an error processing registration, please try again later". It also says that I have the option to create a new Apple ID account in order to use FaceTime.
I don't want to create a new account, because I currently use the same account on my iPad. Is there something that I'm doing wrong, since I use FaceTime on my iPad mini now?

Hey there career change,
It sounds like you are unable to sign into FaceTime on your Mac, but on your iPad it works fine. I would use the troubleshooting steps in the following article about FaceTime for Mac:
FaceTime for Mac: Troubleshooting FaceTime
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4185
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.
Check that your email address is verified in FaceTime > Preferences.If FaceTime > Preferences shows your email status as "verifying," follow the instructions in the verification email that was sent to complete the process.
Toggle FaceTime off and on in FaceTime > Preferences.
If still unable to Sign In follow the instructions in FaceTime, Game Center, Messages on OS X: Troubleshooting Sign in
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,
Sterling

Monitor HP w2448hc needs a driver to be used with my Macbook Pro...
Highly doubtful (see next response.)
...but HP only offers download to Microsoftprograms,...
The software is likely for the built-in webcam. The monitor/screen portion of the w244hc would NOT need drivers unless it had some funky non-standard amount of pixels. But the monitor is a standard 1920x1200 which the Mac should detect if you're using the HDMI or DVI connector.
...My screen behave unstable, waves, and I need to do something. Waht do I do?
Are you using the VGA connector? VGA, being an analog signal is more likely to cause the symptoms you describe (compared to the digital signals DVI or HDMI.) Often reseating the VGA connector can help. (IOW, push the VGA connector in harder...on BOTH ends of the cable.) But VGA would also be more susceptable to signal degradation with anything greater than 1600 pixels. So if you are using the VGA connector, get the appropriate DVI adapter for your Macbook Pro as soon as you can.

Error when trying to use FaceTime on MacBook Pro with OS X Lion

I have been trying to use Facetime on my MacBook Pro that has OS X Lion, and I keep on getting an error that reads:
"The server encountered an error processing registration. Please try again later."
Can anyone help me out with the fix to this error?
I already deleted the one key with no author from the keychain access.
Thank you!

AirPlay Mirroring requires a second-generation Apple TV or later, OS X 10.8 or better and is supported on the following Mac models: iMac (Mid 2011 or newer), Mac mini (Mid 2011 or newer), MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or newer), and MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or newer). You can see which Mac you have and which operating system you are using by selecting 'About this Mac' from the Apple menu in the top left corner of your Mac and selecting the 'More Info' button.

"DTD is prohibited" error when accessing sharepoint 2013/office365 list (but not openly aware of using XML)

I've been getting a list of folders and files from Sharepoint (on Office 365) by using the following C# code...
var folders = ListFolders(libraryName, clientContext, web);
public List<Folder> ListFolders(string libraryName, ClientContext clientContext, Web web)
var list = GetDocumentLibrary(libraryName, clientContext, web);
var folders = list.RootFolder.Folders;
clientContext.Load(folders);
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
return folders.ToList();
public List GetDocumentLibrary(string libraryName, ClientContext clientContext, Web web)
var query = clientContext.LoadQuery(web.Lists.Where(p => p.Title == libraryName));
clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
return query.FirstOrDefault();
It was working fine until I rebooted my computer (it installed a Windows Update), I strongly suspect, based on some testing I've done, it is caused by http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2964358
When the *clientContext.ExecuteQuery()* statement is reached in *GetDocumentLibrary()*, the
following exception is thrown.
*An unhandled exception of type 'System.Xml.XmlException' occurred in System.Xml.dll
Additional information: For security reasons DTD is prohibited in this XML document. To enable DTD processing set the DtdProcessing property on XmlReaderSettings to Parse and pass the settings into XmlReader.Create method.*
I'm wondering how I can work around this, as I'm not consciously using System.XML, it's a background function or process when the ExecuteQuery runs.
Can I pass some additional XMLReader info to this or clientContext (I'm assuming not), so I'm not sure how to execute this query to prevent the DTD error. I have also tried accessing the list in a different manner, by using this code... (from Microsoft's MSDN
pages)
List list = clientContext.Web.Lists.GetByTitle(libraryName);CamlQuery camlQuery = new CamlQuery(); camlQuery.ViewXml = "<View/>";ListItemCollection listItems = list.GetItems(camlQuery);clientContext.Load(list); clientContext.Load(listItems);clientContext.ExecuteQuery();
This works on a computer without the KB above, however on my PC it doesn't (I get the same exception as my other code) , obviously uninstalling the KB will make things work in the short term, but its no good in the longer term. Any advice on how to avoid
this error would be greatly appreciated. I can only assume there will be a "preferred" way from Microsoft for accessing lists now this KB is implemented, but I'm clueless as to what it is.
Thanks

I've found that the issue is related to certain ISP's providing a "search assistance" page when a request returns an error due to no DNS entry matching that URL. For example, if you use Verizon in the USA, and go to www.somenonexistanturl.com, it will
"helpfully" respond to you with a search results page of possible options to match the URL you requested.
Because this is not the expected XML that the SP Client Context library was looking for (i.e., it does not have the DTD that it validates), the exception is thrown. The offending request that I have seen in my case is to the following URL: http://msoid.[my
office 365 acct name].onmicrosoft.com/FPUrl.xml
A simple resolution is to change your network connection adapter settings to use a DNS server IP other than the one auto-retrieved from your ISP, such as Google's (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4). It's not a long term fix, since you'd breaking the ability to resolve
internal resources from a private or corporate network (unless the private network is also setup with Google's IP for the DNS gateway).
While you may have not changed any of your code, I would bet that you changed how/where you access the internet from when it was working to when it stopped working.
What I am not entirely sure of is why did this start happening all of a sudden - was it a change from MSFT that broke the URL, or did the ISP(s) decide to become extra helpful with bad URLs?

I get an error when loading LR to Macbook Pro using Leopard.

I now have a Macbook Pro with Leopard and wanted to load my Lightroom 2 that I only have on my pc desktop and then get the upgrade for it on the MBP but I get an error failure and do not know where to go from here to find out what the problem is.

I am a PC user, and know nothing about Mac operating systems. Here is a link to a webpage outlining system requirements for Lightroom.

Using FaceTime with macbook pro and no video on other end

I can see and hear the person on the onther end but they can't see me. The green light next to the camera is on and I can see myself in the facetime window.

Welcome to the forum.
You did not tell us about your system's I/O, i.e. the HDD's, their size, speed, free space, controller type and how you have them allocated.
Now, how to you get the material from PrPro to Nero?
Have you tried the great authoring program, Adobe Encore? It ships with PrPro and is a wonderful program for authoring DVD's.
As a starter, I would Export as elemental/elementary streams, i.e. non-muxed, video-only and audio-only, and then Import the video-only file into Encore as a Timeline, and the audio-only file as an Asset. From the Project Panel (looks about like the one in PrPro), just drag your audio-only file to the appropriate Timeline, where it snaps into place.
Encore ships and installs with a bunch of Functional Content: Menus, Buttons, etc., and these can be easily accessed and brought into the Project from the Library Panel. You can then Edit in Photoshop for about anything that you would want.
As for why Nero might be messing up, I have never even seen that module in Nero. Maybe others can help.
Good luck,
Hunt

Dtd-is-prohibited-error-when-accessing-sharepoint-2013-office365-list-but-not

I need to update some items in a list and previously done it through a console app and using the sharepoint.client.dll but for some reason it no longer works.
When I call the clientContext.ExecuteQuery() it throws this error:-
"For security reasons DTD is prohibited in this XML document. To enable DTD processing set the DtdProcessing property on XmlReaderSettings to Parse and pass the settings into XmlReader.Create method."
I have googled this and seen others have had similar problems but changing DNS has not resolved this which did in their case.
I can probably create a sharepoint-hosted app to do it but just takes longer for such a simple update.
I have checked fiddler and can see it is requesting the FPUrl.xml and returning a 302 response.

Hi D00gle,
DTD means document type declaration. Using DTD entity expansion, it is easy to make a very small XML data stream fully expand into a very large document.
It will run parser without source limit, so the system will tell you the data has a security issue.
To fix the issue, you can set like below in your code:
XmlReaderSettings settings = new XmlReaderSettings();
settings.ProhibitDtd = false;
Here is a thread about this issue for your reference:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13854068/dtd-prohibited-in-xml-document-exception

I have MacBook Pro but I cannot use my FaceTime

I have tried but my facetime is not working.

I am using a Macbook Pro, MAC OS X 10.6.8. I downloaded Face Time through Itunes and when I try to login, I get this error message: "Could not sign in. Please check your network connection and try again." My apple ID is correct, I checked. I am using my WiFi with all other apps and I'm fine except with Face Time. Ideas?

My Macbook (13" White) that I have had for three years recently had its screen die, and so I purchased a new macbook pro, since I cannot use the screen, how do I go about getting my information off of it such as my iTunes, iPhoto and other documents?

The screen would fade into these weird pastel stripes, and if I pinched the sides a bit it would return to normal, but a few weeks ago it stopped returning to normal. I would like to get my iTunes and iPhoto contents and my documents of various sorts off of it and onto my new macbook pro. A friend of mine removed the hard drive and got the information like it was an external hard drive. Can I do this? I don't know if I can use my migration assistant application because the screen of my macbook won't let me see anything to even log into my username on the computer... Help?

Firewire disk mode.
Plug in a foirewire cable, most likely need a 6pin (400) to 9 pin(800).
on the older machine, boot it up, and hold down the t key
HDD should show up on the new computer.
If you havent booted up the new machine, you could run migration assistant whith the above steps to pull the data off.

Java error when installing Groupwise on MacBook Pro

I am trying to install Groupwise for Mac, but continue to receive an error during the installation process that indicates "Uncaught exception in main method: java.lang.unsatisfiedLinkerror:..." Can anyone helpe me? I'd like to install this software.
I'm using a MacBook Pro. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Vlad

This usually indicates a messed-up java installation or a missing JNI system library. Can you post the entire stack trace? That would help me to narrow down the problem.
The stack trace looks something like this:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: createJNI

Need to turn IPhone4 bluetooth off and on when reconnecting with my MacBook Pro with OS X 10.6.7

Any solution to this?

What happens if you just go to the Personal Hotspot settings and then try to connect? Usually going to this screen starts the hotspot if it has not been used for a while.
BTW: I have been to Lidingö. Lovely place.

Used safe start to try and fix issues with safari on MacBook Pro but it shuts down right after it stops. What can I do.

Safari kept shutting down and someone suggested trying a safe start to correct issue. All this did was create a new oils sue as my MacBook Pro OS X 10.9.1 system only begins the safe start within lay a small portion of the bar filling and then shuts down. Now I cannot even get back to my regular screen.

artbyval,
what is an “oils sue”?
Have you tried booting into your recovery partition? To do so, hold down a Command key and the R key as you start up. It should eventually show a Mac OS X Utilites menu, from which Disk Utility can be selected. In Disk Utility, select the disk that your MacBook Pro boots from (typically named “Macintosh HD”). Once the disk is selected, press the “Verify Disk” button; if it shows problems, press the “Repair Disk” button. Once the verification/repair is complete, restart normally, to see if you can login as normal. Once you can log in again, see if Safari still has the same problem with shutting down.

Get ical error msg 404 on both my MacBook pros, but not my MacPro Desktop. Same ical ver 5.02 & all are OSX Lion. Both MacBooks get ical stuck with error msg & I must force quit to get rid of window. How can I fix?

Upgraded both my MacBook Pro Laptops, the 2011 - 13" and my 2006 - 15" to OSX Lion. Then I upgraded my MacPro Desktop also to OSX Lion. No problems with MacPro, but iCal, when I open on both my laptops, constantly comes up with Error msg 404 as follows: "The Server responded with an error. The URL https://p03-caldav.icloud.com/286232046/principal encountered HTTP error 404. Make sure URL is correct." When I click OK, I just get a duplicate error message immediately and I can do nothing with iCal or my computer until I force-quit iCal.
iCal on all 3 of my mac is Ver 5.01 (1571), but only my laptops are affected with this problem. What can I do?

Facetime on MacBook Pro does not work

Facetime on my Macbook Pro which was working fine a few months ago no longer seems to want to work. It simply opens up the window and displays the facetime logo with a line through it. The preferences option from the file menu is greyed out so inaccessible. I cant sign in/out or do anything, its basically dead in the water.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Here is how to troubleshoot and fix your problem:
• If Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
   suggestions do not help you, (are you certain that you
   used the correct "reset" procedure?), yours is most likely a
   hardware problem that will require a professional fix.
   Unless you have a current backup, make one now.
Then use the final "Troubleshooting" suggestion:
"... contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service."
(Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD." Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)
• If you want to try one more thing on your own first, restart Mac
and use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions. Then
download and apply the latest Combo Update for your OS.
At present, the latest Snow Leopard Combo is here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
• Repair permissions again immediately following the system restart
   that completes the Combo update.
Properly applying the Combo version of updates can sometimes correct software problems, but, if your trouble is caused by a hardware problem, there are no user serviceable parts of the camera. Contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for hardware help.
