Hi Guys
New build from scratch, consisting of
GIGABYTE Z170XGAMING5 LGA1151 ATX
INTEL CORE I5-6600K
INTEL 600P SERIES 512GB M.2 SSD
16 GB DDR4 2133
I used the Sierra installer from a 10.12.2 Mac with clover, following another poster's model. Everything is working fine. I declined to sign into iCloud at build time, and followed the Idiot's Guide to setting up iMessage. I have reached the point where the iMessage debugger gives me consistent output across system restarts. So as far as the Idiot's Guide goes, I think I am solid.
Messages was able to send messages initially to a couple of different iMessage users, but only via SMS. But SMS messages to the same users fail now.
I was able to initiate a FaceTime call a couple of times to an iPhone user (who happened to be on my home wifi network at that moment) successfully (although the audio was distorted--one end very high-pitched, one end very low pitched.)
If I type in the name of a contact in the Messages app to create a new message, the name will auto-populate to show that contact, and iMessage will appear to the right of their phone number, but then about a second later, it switches from saying iMessage to Text Message, and if I send a message, it goes SMS, not iMessage (and then gets marked "not delivered").
I am logged into my iMessages account, and it is marked enabled. I am not seeing any errors from Messages, except that if I type in a phone number that I know to belong to an iPhone, it will say that the number is not registered with iMessage.
Stuck here. Suggestions appreciated.
Thanks.
