Can't sign in on iMessage and FaceTime after upgrading to ML

After doing a clean install of ML, I can't login anymore to iMessage and FaceTime. I'm correctly login to iTunes, AppStore and on my iPhone iMessage works good.

The error is "Il server ha rilevato un errore durante l'elaborazione della registrazione. Riprova pi tardi"

or in english

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

The problem is in ML because with Snow Leopard I hadn't a single problems. I'm on iMac 21.5'' late 2009.

Thanks

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion

IF THE STUPID PROBLEM IS THIS DIFFICULT TO SOLVE, I'LL JUST BUY A WINDOWS PC INSTEAD.

I MEAN SERIOUSLY??? Nobody has a simple SOLUTION???

The issue in this thread started in Mountain Lion.

One possible issue raised it's head at the OS X 10.8.2 update where the Serial Number was needed to be installed properly on the Logic/Mother board.

If this the issue you are shouting about (Typing in capitals) then the "fix" is simple whether you actually like it or not.

Have the the Serial Number "flashed" back to the Logic/Mother board.

Whilst the best choice is to have it done at an Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Providers (AASP) you can find sites that have one of three versions to download. (you just have to make sure you get the version that is right for your Mac. - I wouldn't use this method myself but it is out there)
