iCloud, App Store, FaceTime, Messages - Unable to Authenticate

[Bradamante]

I have a similar problem. Motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-Z77MX-D3H.

Thing is, I never installed a Ethernet driver since I only use WLAN. In system profiler, Ethernet is empty. Can I still use EFI_Studio? Guess not.

Using MultiBeast, which Ethernet driver should I install? The Gigabyte website only says it's a "Atheros GbE LAN chip".

I guess we are in the same boat. I only use WIFI and Ethernet is empty. THe lan chipset is not supported by OSX.

This is weird, after updated my bios app store was working just fine, then I installed EasyBeast with ALC989 audio driver non DSDT, after restart this problem occurs again. Is there a way to delete the audio driver without having to reinstall the OS?

I'm having this same issue however iTunes works fine!?!
I have the icloud issue still...

I tried making a new Smbios with Chameleon Wizard, also used my backed up one from 10.8.2 which worked fine in 10.8.2... doesn't fix icloud problem though. I can't use LAN as I don't have access to the router (Basement Suite). Anyone fix the icloud issue using Wifi? I've also changed my Apple ID password and updated my credit card info from an expired one... icloud does work on iphone and macbookpro. Tried deleting the network list and also the plist files etc... nothing has worked so far. Any help would be appreciated!


My Setup:

Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3
CPU: i5 3.3ghz 2500k
Ram: 16gb DDR3 Corsair Vengence 1600Mhz
Vid: Gigabyte AMD Radeo HD6870 1024MB
HDD: OCZ 200gb SSD
Wifi: TP-Link TL-WDN4800
OS: OSX 10.8.4

Absolutely

1. Open the org.chameleon.Boot.plist file located in /Extra directory with TextEdit.

2. Append the following XML

    <key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
    <string>Yes</string>
    <key>device-properties</key>
    <string>EFI String Placeholder</string>

3. Leave the TextEdit window open and launch the EFIStudio-1.1 App.

4. Select Ethernet from the Select Device: drop down.

5. Click Add Device, the Editor will be displayed.

6. From the Editor window click the Hex String to Clipboard button.

7. Switch back to the open TextEdit window and replace EFI String Placeholder with the EFI string you just copied.

8. SAVE and Reboot

Varying based on your settings, you final result should look something like this.

Hi guys,

tried the above fix but as the other guy, I get a black screen when I reboot, tried many times; cannot understand what has to do the adding of those 2 lines with the graphics/video not appearing....weird.

a bit peed off about not being able to access the app store, hope somebody can help.

my ethernet is the same atheros; followed every step to the letter.

thanks

Hi, I also get a black screen when I reboot as this guy and others. How can I restore my MAC or any flag to help me go in the MAC, anytime I get the black screen, I must format and reinstall Mac again . So any other solutions to sign in icloud and app store?
sorry my english

Did the EFIStudio thing and it didn't work, so I deleted my networkconfiguration.plist file and everything is working fine. Not sure if deleting the .plist file did the trick or both methods in conjunction worked. I tried deleting the networkconfig.plist file in the past and it didn't work, so I assume it was because I did both. I've been bashing my head for weeks trying to get iMessage to work, so I'm glad I found this thread.
