  1. iOS
Performed a clean install of Sierra. I try to login to iCloud, gives me a generic error message, but System preferences show I'm logged into iCloud. I try to login in iTunes, I get error 5002. I login to my iCloud account via Safari, no problem. I check system preferences in iCloud and it shows I have 2 devices connected to this account. 1st is my iPhone - no problem. 2nd device is my hackintosh, but with my serial number from El Capitan build. Is this the crux of my problem - iCloud doesn't recognize the Sierra build? Do I simply change the Serial Number on the Sierra build to match the El Capitan build?

I've had no icloud login issues on Sierra, what system definition are you using ?

Update - I installed Sierra with sys def 14.2, El Capitan was on 13.2. Changed sys def on Sieera to 13.2, presto chango, it works. Thanks mitchellk for the rabbit trail.
