Administrators Hervé Posted January 26, 2016 Administrators Share Posted January 26, 2016 I would not expect everything to run on a VM, especially tricky apps such as iMessages that rely on real hardware elements (serial numbers, Ethernet interface, etc) and for which Apple introduced locking mechanisms some time ago. Why not opt for a proper Hackintosh installation instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowee24 Posted January 26, 2016 Author Share Posted January 26, 2016 Thank You, For the answer... Though I not sure I understand the alternative you have suggested ...

Administrators Hervé Posted January 26, 2016 Administrators Share Posted January 26, 2016 You have landed on this Hackintosh forum so I take it you're aware of what a Hackintosh is, aren't you? Can you confirm your Precision model as the high-end Tower 7910 workstation (no 9710 as far as I can see)? Post your detailed hardware specs (chipset, LAN, Audio, graphics card) so that we get a better idea re: potential as a Hackintosh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In this kind of install is there better chances for those 2 app's to work....?

Administrators Hervé Posted January 27, 2016 Administrators Share Posted January 27, 2016 FaceTime will most definitely work as long as you have a supported webcam. iMessages... well it's quite complicated these days, so absolutely no guarantee I'm afraid.
