I can't wait to go home and see if this issue has affected my UP5-TH build. If Apple is collecting/blocking users on such systems, why do it through iMessage. Seems to be a soft way or generally insignificant way of blocking hackintoshes. Why not go full monty and block iTunes/icloud and software updates? While iMessage is pretty cool feature, it isn't vital.
Having said though, I'm a iMessage junky and hope this can be resolved.

I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for you buddy, but it does look like UP5-TH systems are affected the most by this recent issue, to my knowledge no one with a UP5-TH mobo has iMessage working right now.
I agree it seems odd for Apple to target iMessage and not the other eco services such as Appstore and Updates ... etc, I believe that we are looking at more than one issue though as hypothesised in post #291 we could be looking at some sort of check against S/N / MAC Addr / UUID and maybe a Black/White list against the Organizationally Unique Identifier (OUI) of each MAC address ?
Let me know how things are once you get back and we'll take it from there.
Cheers
