Trying to get My Mac OSX VM Fully working. My hardware is :

 

Dell Precision 9710

2 X E5 - 2630 V3  Socket 2011-3

32 GB Ram DDR4 2133

 

Is there anything Important to add ?

 

I read every guide to make my Mac OSX 10.9 run Imessages & FaceTime unsuccessfully. Can anyone help please? iMessages I can get It to work but stay it inactive.

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?

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.

From my understanding Hackintosh is installing apple on a non apple hardware .... In this kind of install is there better chances for those 2 app's to work....?

 

Thank You, For all the help and patient as I learn the process
