I did have the same problem but after

 

1. I added a USB wifi stick and use wireless utility to connect it to router

2. I turn on the mobileme account via the ipad ( under general, mail, add account, select mbileme for locating your ipad)

 

then go back to icloud in my mac..... now it works.

I've been having this problem on my hacint0sh. I had to create an account here cause that POS tonymac site removed my post for "talking about unreleased software".

 

What do you mean allenwkk? I've been using a USB stick for my wifi since my PC doesn't have an internal wireless card (yet). I have a cheap one from eBay, uses the Ralink chipset so I use the third party Ralink Utility for my wifi. I have an iPhone, no pads. Is there a way for me to get this working, it works great on my iPhone and on iCloud.com, just not my hackint0sh.

Well, I tried the older beta (11C55), it also gives the same error. So I started thinking its the wifi card and decided to take apart one of my old MacBooks, pull the Apple PCIe mini airport card out of it and put it inside my hackint0sh (which has a PCIe mini port) and its recognized perfectly as an airport, as expected. BUT, iCloud STILL does not work. So anyone thinking it may be because you don't have an official wireless card, think again, because this Apple AirPort card is as real as they get!

 

Still don't know what the problem is but its driving me crazy, I got a perfectly good working hackint0sh here with everything, but it just won't work with iCloud. My ethernet doesn't work on OS X, so I'm starting to think it has something to do with that. Maybe Apple can tell if you don't have an ethernet port or something.

I donot know how to make your config works... but mine is working well and log in icloud ....

my config

- Asus P6TSE built in ethernet (Realtek)

- USB wifi with Realtek 8188CUS chip (patched to make airdrop work with

defaults write com.apple.NetworkBrowser BrowseAllInterfaces 1

- updated the Chameleon to make Facetime work

I finally figured out how to get it to work. You'll need to reinstall Lion, then install the older 10.7.2 11C48 beta and iCloud beta 10, then set up iCloud and then update to the 10.7.2 11C57 beta. That seems to do the trick. Haven't tried the newest beta yet (11C62) but it works fine with the 11C57 beta).

Actually, the more I think about it it may have been the wifi card. I just reinstalled the OS again and didnt install the older beta, just the newer one and iCloud worked fine. Maybe cause I reinstalled with the airport wifi card in it worked? Either way its either the wifi card or the old beta that some how "activated" it. Good luck getting it working people!

I'm getting the 'This Apple ID is valid but is not an iCloud account.' error when trying to log into iCloud.

 

I have iCloud set up on my iPhone so the account is ok.

 

I have EthernetBuiltIn Yes defined in my org.chameleon.boot.plist.

I am using Chameleon 2.1 v1627 (I have tried chameleon 1496 and chimera 1.5.4)

I have ethernet connections on en0 and en1

I have a genuine mid-2010 nehalm MacPro5,1 serial (checked on apples self service section of their site)

 

The App store works and I can log-in and download.

 

No idea if FaceTime works as I don't have a webcam.

 

I really don't know what else to try.

 

smbios.plist:

Do I need SMboardproduct and SMfamily in smbios.plist?

 

 

EDIT:

Adding SMboardproduct and SMfamily to smbios.plist fixes iCloud.

 

This is my working smbios.plist:

</dict>
</plist>

 

I hope this helps someone as I've spent all day trying to get iCloud to login.

On my Hackintosh laptop i solved the iCloud problem by deleting the(/Library/Preferences/System configuration) :

-networkinterface.plist

-com.apple.networkidentifikation.plist

-com.apple.atheros.plist

After that i erase all of them in system preference pane (network pane) , and add them manually

Used the Ermac modified boot loader and most important I have changed the serial number in smbios( I have tried severals),and no problem here ( also app store, FaceTime work all OK)

BUT on my PC hackintosh, done all of that and still can't get the iCloud to work, app store and iTunes working OK

Im getting the message : You can’t sign in at this time , Try again later.

Any Idea? Here Im running Lion Server 10.7.2 (maybe that is the problem, but I doubt)
