Facetime: which certificate does it use?

<--- Lion GM user here. don't have the cert in question in keychain access. facetime definitely not working. upgraded from SL.

I have the same problem!

"The server encountered an arror processing registration. Please try again later."

I tried many times in a few days but problem is the same!!!

Also in my Keychain Access there is NO certificate called Apple iPhone Device CA.

So that solution is not working for me!

FaceTime NOT WORKING! 😠

I tried all of the solutions mentioned above and none of them fixed the problem. Then I ran into an entirely seperate issue with all of the https site certificates being invalid. I looked up that issue and discovered that if my date and time was set wrong those certificates would not validate. I looked at date, and sure enough it was set for exactly one year ago. I check the box to set my time and date automatically, and presto... facetime worked.

SOLUTION:

I tried to find the certificate but never found it

I tried editting the hosts file, and in deed i had extra entries, erased them but still didn't worked

Then checked my date and time settings, date and time were correct but automatically updating time & date and time zone were disabled, so i enabled them AND IT WORKED !!!! 🙂

Hi There!

I have tried every solution posted in this thread to no avail. I do not see the certificate listed in keychain access. The date and time on my MBP are correct.. I tired editing host file etc.....I have tried removing and reinstalling Facetime (which it won't let me do)...the only thing I haven't tried is going back to SL.

Running Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7 (11A511 on a 17" MBP

Thanks!

Hi there .

Lion user here.

i acctually bought the facetime before the lunching of lion and the face time was working great with me. but now

when i instaled the lion, face time is not working anymore. the certificate APPLE IPHONE DEVICE CA. is not

there. so is there any other solution ?

Face time is not working 😟

Lion. Same issues. No "Apple iPhone Device, CA" cert. Date/Time settings on auto (as always). I upgraded from SL where FaceTime worked great to Lion on a new HDD.

Anyone find a fix for this yet?

i had the problem as i saied but after some times almost a month.

face time is back to normal. and it is working fine now.

My solution after going through the other fixes...

- checking host file

- deleting ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.facetime* files

....

Anyway for me the fix was .... a few days ago I had edited my Keychain Preferences, Certificates Tab to

Online Certificate Status Protocol Protocol (OCSP): Require for all Certificates

Certificate Revocation List (CRL): Require for all Certificates

Priority: Require Both

Having the above caused calls not coming in, and when I turned facetime off, I could not log back in and kept getting the failure messages as described on the FaceTime App and Console...

I changed the certificate settings to "Best attempt" for both OCSP and CRL, and Prioity to OCSP.

After making the changes as described FaceTime connected immediately.

Changing the Date and Time settings worked for me too, after installing Lion my Facetime quit working.

Thanx!!

This worked for me thanks!

I can't really belive that was such easy as simply change the time thanks for the support

Hey! im having the same problem! my facetime hasnt been working... i did what it says above but it still didnt work... and i dont have any certificate in the keychain access named Apple Iphone Device CA!
PLEASE HELP! what should i do?! i just got my imac a day or 2 before and facetime was working perfectly but now its isnt :S

Well, you could also try deleting the facetime cache.

Normally located in the ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.FaceTime

Did not see the cache mentioned anywhere, however sometimes it can get corrupted.
