[Fixed] Messages: An error occurred during activation. Try again.

[holyfield]

 

I installed Maveric successfully on my HP Pavilion dv7. Tested also Messages and worked. But when  i tested it first I didn't had ethernet drivers installed. Later when I installed audio and ethernet drivers I 'm unable to use Messages. I got an error: "An error occurred during activation. Try again."

 

I have tested several options, but without any luck. 

 

I'm sure that issue is related somehow to the Ethernet settings. But unable to solve issue. 

 

Any suggestions?

I haven't found a sol yet either,

worked on 10.8.5

 

upgraded to Mavericks, iMessages doesn't work.

tried NVRam fix, no go.

changed PW, added payment, tried a lot of things and no luck.

 

oh well.

I had to do the following

 

1. NVRam fix

2. Remove all Network interfaces

3. Remove /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist

4. Reboot

5. Readd your Ethernet Network Interface. This must be en0. (not en1, en2...)

 

That fixed it for me

I fixed it now.

 

• I added the moduel //Extra/modules/FileNVRAM.dylib installed.
• Removed /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist 
• Removed network interfaces from system prefs.

 

But without the success.

 

Addded into /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist Eth built in statement and voila, after reboot IMessage is fine!

<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>Yes</string>

When I go to re-add the Ethernet Network Interface in System Preferences > Network, I do not get an option to re-add ethernet.

 

Did I miss something?
