Everything is up and running including apps I install such as Microsoft word, final cut ect.  However, the stock apps like mail, FaceTime, shut down and messages, app store won't allow me to login. Any ideas on a fix. Thanks

There are many fixs for the App Store login.
You will need a genuine serial number that corrosponds to your system identifier. You also need ethernet to be recognused as built-in and en0.

I was reading around and saw that about the en0. Is there a location where my Network.plist file is at so I can set it to 0 and delete the networks and hopefully it comes back up after reboot as en0 vs en1?  Of can I just take my Lion Network.plist and stick it into my Extra folder and make it work that way?  Also, this is the first time I have heard about serials numbers matching the system identifier. I have imac 9.1 smbios installed I take it that wont work for what you are talking about?  Thanks

/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist

You will need a genuine serial number that corrosponds to an iMac9,1.
You can use Champlist to generate one.

Im not at home so I have to wait to try this after work..but when I create this new serail with that program will I replace my exisiting smbios.plist with this newly generated one?  Also, I was searching for NetowrkInterfaces.plist in that location you specified but I couldnt find the folder Preferences..would this be hidden? Thanks

[JamesLittler]

No, it's not hidden, make sure you are looking in /Library, not /System/Library, or ~/Library

I finally got my network to say Ethernet.  Now login to app store and iMessages allow me to login.  I also reinstalled the os again and all my apps work like thry should Thanks for the help
