[SOLUTION] An unknown error has occurred & access to the teamViewer server had been denied

[tepaks]

An unknown error has occurred when you try to access your App Store account is a problem not limited to iHack. Genuine Mac owners experience same issue regardless OS X version. There are several scenarios that can cause this problem and also several solutions:

 



- You swapped your main HDD/SSD and used cloning software in process


- You just installed OS X from scratch and OS X doesn't support your LAN natively and you are forced to use 3rd party or edited kext to make it work


- Your SMBIOS.plist doesn't contain valid serial number


- Your org.chameleon.Boot.plist doesn't contain this:





<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>

<string>Yes</string>






 

So how to solve this problem? Well luckily Apple recognise this and provides official solution:




- delete all interfaces in system preferences/network pane

- delete Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/Networkinterfaces.plist and com.apple.network.identification.plist

- reboot

- add ethernet interface in system preferences/network and configure it if necessary

- optionally add all other interfaces you might need, like firewire, com etc.

- wait a few seconds for Eth interface to initialise

- log in to your app store account and enjoy

 

iHack solution:

 

- Apply official Apple solution

- make sure you have valid serial number in SMBIOS.plist ( use Chameleon Wizard to create one )

- make sure org.chameleon.Boot.plist contains this code:


<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>

<string>Yes</string>






 

Valid SMBIOS serial number will also solve problem with TeamViewer "access to the teamViewer server had been denied"
