Sat1600 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 Specs: I7 4800mq 24gb ram firepro m6100 240gb ssd(windows) 500gb HDD (mojave) I used @frankenstein efi floder. I changed smbios following tutorials online. config.plist is set to imac 14,2. I checked the serial on "every mac" and "checkmycoverage" as instructed by the tutorials. Ethernet is en0. The message I am getting is "cant connect to imessage on this mac at this time". What am I doing wrong? clover folder attached CLOVER.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eC//FrEaK Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 How old is your Apple-ID? Many people report that a newly registered Apple-ID is not working for iMessage and FaceTime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted July 30, 2019 Administrators Share Posted July 30, 2019 Never quite understand the choice for iMac14,2 SMBIOS. Is it for graphics? Wouldn't Haswell-based MacBookPro11,x SMBIOS be more appropriate? Anyway, your Clover config is probably not appropriate; try the modified configs instead and report back. iMac_Config.plist.zip MBP_Config.plist.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people report that a newly registered Apple-ID is not working for iMessage and FaceTime. Fairly new. Although I did try with my kids apple ID. That one is a little older. I can try my apple ID on a real Mac I guess and see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sat1600 Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 Hi, thanks so much for your help. I tried both of those configs and I am still getting the same message. i am a noob when it comes to hackintosh. I noticed that the serial number and the board serial number are different in the configs you posted. should they be the same? (aside from the last five digits) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted July 30, 2019 Administrators Share Posted July 30, 2019 No, of course, the serial numbers should not be identical. Coming back to your Clover setup, there is only a very small set of kexts in E/C/k/O. But your Clover config shows being set for kexts injection. Since I saw no FakeSMC or VirtualSMC kexts in your Clover folder, I must assume either of those are installed and cached from /L/E (or /S/L/E). That is perfectly Ok but, then, Clover kext injection will not work. What's important to establish here is whether you have your LAN interface running and set as 1st interface en0. Post your debug file and we'll know more on this matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sat1600 Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 nevmind @Hervé I figured out how to use the debug debug_15361.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Hervé Posted July 30, 2019 Administrators Share Posted July 30, 2019 Ok, so your kexts are in /L/E, including IntelMausiEthernet for your LAN card. All that's left to check now is whether that got installed as 1st interface en0 or not. It's mandatory. In case it were not, remove all interfaces from your Network PrefPane and reboot. Hopefully, the interfaces will re-install automatically at reboot, starting with LAN; if they do not, simply add them manually, starting with the LAN card.

Sat1600 Posted July 30, 2019 Author Share Posted July 30, 2019 this is what it says in system report under ethernet cards: Intel I217LM PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet: Name: ethernet Type: Ethernet controller Bus: PCI Slot: Internal Vendor ID: 0x8086 Device ID: 0x153a Subsystem Vendor ID: 0x1028 Subsystem ID: 0x05cd Revision ID: 0x0004 BSD name: en0 Kext name: IntelMausiEthernet.kext Location: /Library/Extensions/IntelMausiEthernet.kext Version: 2.1.0d5 Is there something else i need to check?

Administrators Hervé Posted July 30, 2019 Administrators Share Posted July 30, 2019 At this stage, all seems Ok on the macOS front. Must be something with your account I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
