I am having some issues with my hackintosh, they are not major, but a fix would be nice.
If you need my build info and other stuff just ask.
1.) i have 8gb of ram installed now and it only recognizes 4gb although on the bootloader screen it says 8gb and in the bios it does too.

2.) When i try to sign in to the app store it says "this device or computer could not be recognized, contact apple support for help"

Thanks, it is not urgent, but a fix would be great.

Consult mobo manual on the correct slots for your RAM pieces whether two piece or four piece slot configuration. Make sure RAM is being seen in system profiler under Memory.

Change your hardware list in your profile to the specs your provided. It is not hard to do.

My motherboard only has two RAM slots.
 
Try switching RAM modules and see if that works.
