Hi guys,

Whenever my Mac starts up, this error message (below) appears. I have tried clearing iCloud cache, logging out and in, tested with vanilla installation, the problem still persists

The error does not affect iCloud functionalities though, all my safari tabs, calendar, notes etc still syncs.

My build:
Screen Shot 2016-08-12 at 18.17.02.png
Clover v2.3k r3543
El Capitan 10.11.5
Gigabyte GA-H97-D3H LGA 1150
Intel Core i7-4790
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 760
Corsair Vengence 1600 4x4 GB

Kexts:
AppleIntelE1000e.kext
CodecCommander.kext // for audio for sleep
FakeSMC.kext
GenericUSBXHCI.kext // for USB3
USBInjectAll.kext // for USB3
realtekALC.kext // for audio

Followed most of the build from http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/success-msi-z97-gaming-7-on-10-11-4-with-clover.189190/ with some modifications.

Has anyone encountered similar problems?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi KONKY1,

Sorry if I didn't make it clear. I have tried that and it will sign in normally. But after the next reboot the message will appear again.

Nope. I have a different serial

Looks like mhatayama & BreBo's suggestions have worked:

I used Clover Configurator -> SMBIOS -> magic wand -> iMac 14.2 to change my serial number, as the original one was the same as http://www.tonymacx86.com/threads/success-msi-z97-gaming-7-on-10-11-4-with-clover.189190/'s build.

Then I logged out my iCloud, cleaned its folder with Fix This mac can’t connect to iCloud.

After that restarted and logged in again. I received an email from iCloud saying that I signed in on a new device.

From then on I restarted a few times and it seems like the problem has gone away!

Thanks guys!

Update 20160817:
Haven't touched the computer for 2 days. When I turned it on today, the problems comes back..

Any more help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
