Facetime doesn't work with new lion

Yeah, I have the same exact problem. It won't ever log in, producing the same exact error you get: "The server encountered an error processing registration".

Its probably a glitch in the operating system. It should be fixed by the update that shouldn't be long from now considering all the bugs people have found already.

Same problem here..

Very frustrating..

On both Macbook Pro 2010, and Black Macbook...

Neither of which had any problems running Facetime 1.0.2 on Snow Leopard 10.6.8

Now on Lion 10.7 Facetime 1.1 will not authorise me..

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

The error code is the same whichever Apple ID is used, and even if a non-existent user account is used. This seems to suggest that the bug is as likely to be with communication between Apple's servers and Facetime as it is a bug inside Lion itself.

Please sort it out Apple!

I hope so! I paid my money for this upgrade, and I expect it to work, especially FaceTime. I'm deaf, so it would be nice to have it working anytime soon. 🙂

Many threads about this. Please fix it Apple! One of the solutions to delete the Keychain Access entry titled 'Apple iPhone Device CA' does not work, because it doesnt exist on my machine!

I have the same problem.

I asked many mac users this problem in Korea. Some people don't have it. some people have it.

One guy told me the solution. It is a clean setup. It means reinstall a Lion OS.

step 1. timemachine backup

step 2. reinstall Lion with USB (not upgrade)

step 3. timemachine restore.

In my case, until now I can't try it because I don't have any external disk.

Same problem here.

I've managed to make it work, when you've set your mail adress and your password on your Mac, simply use your iPhone or iPod Touch or even your iPad, and call yourself through facetime, it should start facetime on your Mac and work.

I don't know why I had to that, but before it didn't work and now it works like a charm 🙂

Regards,

Did you install the new Lion update and now FaceTime encounters an error and will not log you in?

1. Open system preferences > Date and Time

2. Tec on set date and time Automatically > Apple Americans/U.S.

3. Open Time Zone > tec on Set time zone Automatically using current location.

4. Now Open FaceTime AND GOOOOOOOO>>>>>>>>>>>>>
