Thanks everyone for your input on this thread -- I figured that newer development would be focused on newer motherboards and that us goodies-but-oldies may struggle ... am hoping someone with a stronger will and more free time can pave the way for this motherboard to shine again. It's still a...

Hello - is anyone using Clover with GA-X58A-UD3R Rev 2.0 ? My system has been great for a long time. Except for sleep issues (that is, the never-ending-sleep) and, more recently, iMessage not working. Am getting ready to move to Yosemite and would really like to get the iCloud integration...

Thanks for the feedback; mine doesn't come up from sleep even after a short turnaround sadly. I have been shutting it down ... is just the wife complains about it not being on or having to wait for it from time to time. However: if it can't work then maybe I can come up with some conviction to...

Hi there - I haven't posted or been trolling in ages because everything just works! This is a question for folks rocking a similar build to my own which is the grandfather: GA-X58A-UD3R Rev 2.0 (FH) | i7-970. Anyone able to get it to "sleep" and "wakeup"? I can put it to sleep, but my old...

No luck with that method either. My mother in law is coming tonight and she has a MacBook. I'm going to try my luck on that and see if it's my Hackintosh that's been flagged or my account somehow.

I thought I had it! But then the error came back. What got me excited was that when I first signed in, it flipped and showed me all my linked AppleID accounts (gmail, iCloud, iPhone #) ... before, it wasn't showing me my iPhone number ... then, just when I thought I had it, the message came...

Thanks for that suggestion! How did you "log out" on your iPhone? Did you just un-select "iMessage" from within Settings::Messages ? Or did you do something under iCloud? Thanks!

Ugh. I did a full re-install just to be safe ... tried my wife's AppleID first -- logged in with no issue. Did my own: got that message again with a new validation code. Sigh. I am not sure what is going on. I wish I had another Mac Laptop to test this out with that I haven't already...

Has anyone else found a non-AppleCare solution to this error? This is happening on my machine and it's is AppleID specific (that is, I can use *other* AppleIDs on my machine and iMessage works without a hitch) ... and, sadly, for my primary AppleID I keep getting this message. I even...

That's the kind of input I needed. Thanks. I will give it a try after I clone my drive one more time. Damon

Hello - so, I'm what you'd call a very Happy Hackintosh user. My system works. And because it works, I'm loathe to update anything. I'm at 10.8.3 right now. And because it's been so long I need help! I want to get iMessage working and to do that, I understand I need to upgrade Chimera (I...

I recently got a Samsugn 840 250GB drive to replace my intel one. With this drive, I am getting 245MB/s write and 375MB/s read speeds. The write speeds seem to be at maximum but the read speeds are still below par. I'm not sure what the bottleneck is and was never able to resolve it with the...

Just wanted to update you as to my progress as to discovering why my drive wasn’t reading and writing at or near its maximum potential. First, I took the drive to a friend’s machine with Windows 7 installed (along with the new SATA III card I had purchased) and the drive tested much faster...

I believe that is the only way (reformat USB drive, re-install Unibeast); for me, it really didn't take all that long.

I did *not* enable Trim support - whoops. I will go back and try that now and see if that makes an improvement. [/s] My new PCI card should arrive tomorrow - I ordered it based on the link in this blog post. Thanks for everyone's feedback; very helpful. I will follow-up when I make...
