The fix for the unable to create a Google Account error is, unfortunately, that you have to wait and try again later.

In terms of how long to wait, we recommend you give it a couple of hours, at least.

There are a number of reasons why you are unable to create a Google Account. The most likely, however, is that the servers which handle Google Accounts are currently down.

If the servers aren’t down for maintenance, meanwhile, the issue could derive from overloaded servers or something similar.
Whatever the reason you can’t create a Google Account, the fix is simply that you need to wait and try again later. It should, hopefully, work again a couple of hours after your initial attempt.
