Jake, A couple of corrections the first part of your guide brought me to 10.9.3, and I updated my sig with my system info.

Jake, Just finished your guide, thought I would give this another shot. I'm still very new at this. I'm only at 10.9.3. Seems like I got everything up and running fairly well, here are my issues, and would appreciate your comment or guidance. 1. I did this part of the guide - "Boot with -v option to complete the customization going through the wizard" - but it didn't generate a wizard or dialog. 2. Brightness doesn't seem controllable, but I get the sense from the site that this is normal. 3. The big one I'm confused about - iMessage is not working and is now asking for a customer code. What is the proper method to setup post your guide? I've stopped attempting to do anything involving my apple id, in fear of messing something up. 4. What should I choose for proper keyboard layout? 5. When I look at the updates section, you start to loose me, and I think it's just cause I'm new. When you say "replace patched kernel with mach kernel" and there is a file to download, what's the method to do this. (I think it's assumed I would know how to do this) Really appreciate the patience and support, I've done something right...I'm posting this from Safari on the E7440, but I was really hoping to use my apple id to access the apps, iTunes purchases, and iMessage functions. Would also like to be able to update, but not sure how to. M
