Man, I'm getting no luck with any of these methods. I had perfectly working iMessage after the Chimera update a while back that fixed it (I think 2.0 or thereabouts) and hadn't done any updates since. Then about a week ago my iMessage suddenly quit working.
I have tried:
I'm thinking my next step might be to go ahead and try a complete reinstall of Mountain Lion, but I'd like to know what the best, most likely to work course of action would be. Does this sound right?
Should this be my next step?
I think the problem is that I'm not really clear on exactly what's happening with iMessage activation. I think I understand that it activates based on your UUID, but I'm not sure how that UUID is set or generated, or what's going wrong with my activation. Does anyone have a clearer explanation?
I have tried:
- Reinstalling Chimera with the up to date Multibeast and installing FileNVRAM. Unfortunately I installed the 1.1.3 version first without knowing it doesn't fix iMessage, but I later replaced it and that didn't help.
- Changed AppleID password
- Cleared some seemingly related p-lists
- Basically everything in the "Troubleshooting iMessage Login" article including removing all my network devices and clearing out network preference files
I'm thinking my next step might be to go ahead and try a complete reinstall of Mountain Lion, but I'd like to know what the best, most likely to work course of action would be. Does this sound right?
- Reinstall Mountain Lion from Unibeast USB drive
- Run MultiBeast to install current version of Chimera and all needed kexts
- Install FileNVRAM 1.1.2
- Log in and cross my fingers
