How to Fix iMessage

[bobborries]

I'm using Chameleon Wizard to generate a valid serial number, and going to "https://selfsolve.apple.com" to verify the number. I'm expecting to see the message "We're sorry, the number you have provided cannot be found in our records. Please verify the number and try again", but most of the time all I get is no reply at all.

Trying a different number I get this... "Please validate your purchase"


But I never seem to get "We're sorry, the number you have provided cannot be found in our records. Please verify the number and try again", has apple changed the response method?

I think this message is telling you that the S/N you are submitting is in their records and genuine but they have no details of the purchase being made thereby adding the message 'Please validate your purchase'. You need to keep generating and submitting a s/n until you get the message 'We're sorry the number you provided cannot be found in our records' then you'll be good to go - Good luck.

If I understand your post correctly - Your brother's Apple ID works on your Hack? but yours don't only on a genuine mac, if that is the case there is a mismatch between the security token certificate on the Hack and your Apple ID i.e. Bank details, purchasing records, address etc.

Yup, under the preferences it says account is active and I can sign in and sign out without an issue. But I can't send or receive any iMessages. It has been 24 hours and the issue has not resolved itself. I did the Chapter 3.3 thing and deleted all the necessary files but that didn't make a difference. I can only assume that when I called Apple they used the code provided by iMessages to allow me to sign in but it is not registering as a new machine using iMessage, therefore it won't send. But that's just a guess.

Hi - Are you running Clover or Chimera and have you check your values with iMessage DeBugger between a number of reboots to insure the injected values are constant between reboots, also can you post your iMessage DeBugger readout so we can see if there are any mismatches in the results - thanks.

i dunno if this can help my imessage fix but when i log into facetime i get the popup of
Facetime wants to use your confidential information stored in "IDS: emailaddress-AuthToken" in your keychain
when i click always allow i get booted out and cannot use facetime, so im guessing this is the same reason i cannot use imessage? anyone know how to fix this

Log into Apple and update your details, Debit Card/Credit Card (it is reported some people use their Paypal account) for purchasing also to prove that the account is genuine, Address and email address etc etc - Good luck.

Seems like keychain is providing corrupt ID information.
