Esafeddie Could friend create values so I can activate Imessage ...?
Esafeddie Could friend create values so I can activate Imessage ...?
It is my experience that when everything is set up correctly then everything just works as expected (assuming that there are no errors with your iCloud/AppleID accounts).I've just been reading through this thread, especially the recent entries, and had a quick question.
@P1LGRIM, you said a bit back that if this was all set up correctly, there should be no need to call apple support. Does that include new apple ids?
That is, if I cleaned my system up (deleted imessage and icloud things), regenerated a serial and mlb etc, along with a new apple id, all through a new ip, do you think that I would be able to avoid the current customer code error?

I do not subscribe to the new AppleID Vs old AppleID theory, to me an AppleID is an AppleID.
I agree but the truth is that I am not in possession of enough of the facts to fully understand all of the processes in place.I hear what you're saying Mr.P but don't you find it strange that quite a few members still has this problem
Thanks for the reply!
I see, I might give that a go some time then. Because I know I'm creating the values correctly (show as invalid on apple's site but valid on the other). The thing that doesn't make sense is the old apple id works fine, versus the new one doesn't, but the only difference is that. That is, I created the new apple id after having successfully set everything up correctly.
Anyway, thanks again,
Zach

If a first time user buys a Mac and creates a new AppleID it works without question and does so every time, so as I see it if you set up your Hack correctly there should be very little difference.
On the face of it it makes perfect sense but it just is not true.So, I'm almost 100% sure I've followed the guide correctly, albeit using MacGen for the values. They show up as expected via the everymac/apple checks, which leads me to the what I think the difference is.
For a hackintosh, the serial is valid, but isn't registered on apples side. I suspect when you purchase a mac the serial is saved and submitted to apple, or perhaps just after production even. Thus they know the serials/some pattern in them. If it's a pattern, then we just needa figure that out.
I draw this conclusion because the new account works fine on a real mac, even after being flagged on the hackintosh. Also, the old account works flawlessly wherever. Also, from my reading and numerous calls to apple support, I know that even real macs have this issue. On my last call I spoke to a mac specialist who also said that it's because my serial isn't in the system that I get flagged. That is, my serial isn't in their support system. Sadly I had to take my 'mac' into the service center to actually get them to enter it into the system.
Hope that makes sense,
Zach
