Jay, Happy Birthday! What a nice present you (and we all) have received. To provide a bit more info- on my Hack, iMessage started working yesterday, having not worked at all since Dec 15. During that time, I made no changes to my MLB and ROM, which remained "basic" values that were...

I had random generated values -- whatever Chimera had originally generated for my Hack back a year ago is what has stayed in there. I haven't not changed them.

Honestly, I'd find it pretty hard to believe that it was not intentional but that begs the question, why would they suddenly make iMessage less restrictive?

Just wanted to report that I too was able to log into iMessage today on my Hack, for the first time since Dec 15th. I made no changes to my MLB and ROM values in that time. Until today, when trying to login, I was greeted with a customer code and the contact Apple customer service message (which...

Got it. Thanks again. I thought perhaps we had to give Apple CS the ROM/MLB values for manual input into their system.

Good tip. Thanks! So how exactly do the MLB/ROM values get "whitelisted"?

Looks like we have finally started to make some consistent progress. Can anyone give some insight as to what Apple looks for when calling them with the customer code? Are they asking for MLB & ROM values? Serial numbers, etc?

Very interesting. I also was logged out of iMessage and was given the customer code and the prompt to call support. I haven't called them yet but suspect all will be fine after I call. Interesting it's affecting both of us. I wonder if there are any others that have been affected?

Hi All- I'm also having the iMessage issue. However, I did want to note that I have yet to update iTunes to 11.3.1...I am still running the old version. Edit: I tried the steps suggested above: reinstalling the FileNVRam file, deleting the nvram.plist file, and restarting. First, I tried...

I have the same board and have encountered this issue a few times. I'm pretty confident that it has something to do with the resolution that is set in the OSX settings- you need to make sure that the resolution that is picked in the system settings is one that your monitor will accept (I've...

Jay- just wanted to thank you again for your help in getting this fixed sorted out and more generally, for so diligently maintaining this guide. It's great to have such a helpful community out there for hackintoshers of all skill levels! Thanks again! Great work everyone. It's great to have...

Just wanted to update: I pulled the hardware UUID and added it to the org.chameleon.Boot.plist as the SystemId string and it worked! It actually took a few minutes for iMessage to start working. I originally thought that it did not work but a few minutes later, I received an email stating that...

Soarhevn, What is the error you're getting? Are you able to get into Messages and all of your contacts are red? Or are you having a sign in error?

I gave the killall command (+restart) a try - didn't help.

I've been trying to think of things that could cause this issue- the only thing I could think of that may make our setups "unique"...within the past few months I moved my Home folder over to a secondary hard drive. I know it's definitely speculation but maybe that's a common theme?

The OUI of my hackintosh that is not working: bc:5f:f4

Just bringing this thread back from the dead as it seems there are many of us that have been impacted by this same issue in the last week. Was this issue ever resolved when this thread was created? Link to the more recent discussion...

Shiitaki and jaymonkey, First of all, everyone's help in diagnosing and solving this is really tremendous, so thank you! I do understand the hypothesis regarding the serial number, MAC address and UUID. However, for those of us that did not make any recent changes (i.e., iMessage was working...

Understood! Makes sense.

Jaymonkey, Just to be clear (and to help in solving this problem), I'm pretty sure posts 233 and 237 refer to errors regarding signing in to iMessage (and subsequently being prompted to call Apple support), and not the inability to send messages after being able to sign in that some of us have...
