Unable to login to Mac App Store with my AppleID on Hackinto

[keyboardkungfu]

Hi. I think I solved my problem by accident. I'm not sure is this will be helpful to anyone else, but I figured I would pass it on.

During my attempts to get HDMI video to work, I had to do a few re-installs of Lion due to kernel panics. I was installing using Unibeast from the same USB flash drive every time. After each re-install, I would try to sign into the Mac App Store and I would keep getting the same error message. While I was transferring some downloaded files via another USB stick, I accidentally wrote over my Unibeast flash drive. So, I had to make a new one. When I installed Lion from a newly partitioned USB drive with Unibeast, I again checked to see if I can log into the Mac App Store and, to my surprise, I was able to. I was able to re-download all of my apps with no issues.

So, naturally, I thought it might have something to do with using the same Unibeast key more than once. I decided to bite the bullet and try re-installing Lion with the same USB drive copy of Unibeast that I had just used. Once installed, I again could not log in to the Mac App Store.

After making a newly partitioned USB flash drive copy of Unibeast, and another install of Lion, I was able to log into the Mac App Store again and download all of my apps.

So, my advice to anyone who is having problems with the Mac App Store is to do a fresh install with a freshly partitioned USB flash drive with Unibeast. I'm not sure why this happens, but for myself, it seems to work.

Oh, and by the way, I also finally got HDMI audio and video to work thanks to tonymac's guide.

Hope this helps.

I'm glad to hear you resolved your issue, on that positive note, I too have solved mine!

I found a suggestion by user 'Baruy' in this thread http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=169&t=28477&hilit=can't+log+into+app+store&start=20

Run EFIStudio, and then on the first drop down list, select "Ethernet". Click "Add Device" and there should be a new window that pops up with something like this on the bottom:

4b00000001000000010000003f0000000100000002010c00d041030a0100000001010600051c0101060000007fff0400160000006200750069006c0074002d0069006e0000000500000001

Open your com.apple.Boot.plist in your Extra folder (if you are using the latest boot loader, there is no com.apple.boot.plist in /Extra, you will need to add the string to /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist. as per blueridgedog) and add this hex code to the plist via text editor:

<key>device-properties</key>
<string> hex code here </string>

This alone didn't solve my issue, I had to copy
"<key>device-properties</key>
<string> hex code here </string>" (omit quotes)
to com.apple.Boot.plist as well as copy the plist info from EFIStudio:
<key>PciRoot(0x1)/Pci(0x1c,0x6)/Pci(0x0,0x0)</key>
<dict>
<key>built-in</key>
<string>0x01</string>
</dict>
to /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist as well as in my org.chameleon.Boot.plist in /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist... not sure if it needs to be in org.chameleon.Boot.plist as well but it didn't work until I added the plist hex code info:
<key>device-properties</key> <string>4b00000001000000010000003f0000000100000002010c00d041030a0100000001010600061c0101060000007fff0400160000006200750069006c0074002d0069006e0000000500000001</string>
to the /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/com.apple.Boot.plist.plist.

I hope that this helps someone else, it sure helped me.

iCloud should be working on 10.7.2.

iTunes and App store both work now, but still don't have iCloud working ...and it seems others seem to have got their iCloud working once their app store was working. And the battle goes on lol.

I know this thread is like 1,000 years old but I hope it may help someone to know that I too having tried *everything* to fix the App Store failure, met success with this little gem from Baruy, for which megathanks:

Run EFIStudio, and then on the first drop down list, select "Ethernet". Click "Add Device" and there should be a new window that pops up with something like this on the bottom:

4b00000001000000010000003f0000000100000002010c00d041030a0100000001010600051c0101060000007fff0400160000006200750069006c0074002d0069006e0000000500000001

<key>device-properties</key>
<string> hex code here </string>

In my case I added it to both files and since it works I'm not about to fiddle any more to find out which fixed it

My experience with Appstore login problem

I have struggled for two days with the login problem. My MB have 2 ethernet ports and i am using a wifi card created using this article. http://x86wifi.blogspot.in/2010/04/how-to-build-your-own-real-airport-card.html

If i remove the wifi card and reset the NetworkInterfaces.plist i could able to login. But, as soon as i insert the wifi card and reboot, It shows the login error message.

I could able to fix this issue by moving the wifi card to the first pci(the small one) slot. Also i have removed the ethernet connection(en0)cable and changed the ip from DHCP to manual giving the same IP which is reserved in the router for this computer. Now even though the en0 status shows as disconnected and only wifi is active, I am able to login to the App Store which was my ultimate goal.

Hope you guys can get some help from my experience and solve your problem.

Sudhish.

Tried Everything - Try this

I have a a GA-Z77X-UD5H mother board with two NICs. I ran into the problem as it's been described where the Ethernet interface shows up as EN1. When this happened I was unable to use iCloud or Appstore got the unable to logon to account message, as described in this thread. Keep in mind this is a ML install, I tried upgrading to Chimera 1.11.0 even and nothing worked. I got it working though when I did the logon to iCloud during the initial install of ML when your asked for your apple account, time zone and first account creation. When I did that the Ethernet got assigned to EN0, I verified this using the Network Utility. Then I was able to logon to the Appstore as well. This was a Unibeast ML install. When I did the install without logging on to iCloud during the first install sequence it always got assigned to EN1, don't know why.

This is my third Hachintosh and it gets easier every time. The new build is as follows:

GA-Z77X-UD5H
OCZ Agility 120GB SSD
Intel Core I7 3770K
G.Skill DDR3 2133 Mhz 16GB
XFX ATI Radeon HD 6850



No everything works fine and I followed up by using migration assistant to move my apps from my SL install. I keep all of my user and data files separate from my system disk, it makes migration or recovery much easier.

Good luck!!
