stellarola Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 **FOR THOSE WHO'VE TRIED EVERYTHING TO LOGIN TO ICLOUD/MESSAGES AND CAN'T. USE THIS KEXT** http://cl.ly/3T2m2U2n332O ^ PlatformUUID.kext -------------------------------------- I tried every solution and combination to fix the issue. I could log into the Mac App Store and iTunes Store, however I couldn't login to iCloud or Messages account. I kept getting a message saying "This is an Apple ID but not a valid iCloud account." For some reason my Hardware UUID was causing a conflict and using the built-in UUID changer in Chameleon's boot.plist wasn't able to change my UUID either. This kext will force the UUID to change. Be sure to install it to S/L/E and not E/E. BEFORE: AFTER: Godspeed. PS - Thanks to Superhai for making this kext! -stell Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/284806-problem-cant-login-to-icloud-but-app-store-works/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
p.H Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 It seems this kext is quite old. For UUID issues, I set Systemid in chameleon.plist file and everything is just fine.

juanerson Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Hi Stellarola, first of all I want to say thank you very much for all your contributions to the community. Then, in my case I fixed the problem just following this tip by the master bcc9 to generate a valid - customized system UUID: As of 10.7, you should have a SystemId defined as the 1340 doesn't have a UUID defined in its SMBIOS and booting hangs for a minute or so without it. I recommend you customize the template value I provided with the output from uuidgen (run from a terminal window). http://www.insanelym...ps-1340-laptop/ So, from my org.chameleon.Boot.plist I have for example: SystemId 6858A18D-0C0E-9EEE-7FB9-C5F600323428 Best regards. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/284806-problem-cant-login-to-icloud-but-app-store-works/#findComment-1871472 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill give it another shot tomorrow to verify.

From my personal experience, either value is fine to the Systemid as long as it's the same all the time. 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/284806-problem-cant-login-to-icloud-but-app-store-works/#findComment-1871502 Share on other sites More sharing options...
stellarola Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 Well, odd thing happened. It didn't create the UUID I wanted it to create with "SystemId" string. I'm not too worried about that, it at least allowed me to login to Messages and fixed the original conflict. FTW.

But as you keep this id unchanged, no matter which hack you're running as long as this systemid is the same, the HardwareUUID would be the same. chameleon may have other methods to create HardwareUUID while clover will make your HardwareUUID be the exact one you set in Systemid That's all my personal experience.

SwithDrawn Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Just wanted to say that creating a UUID via uuidgen as described in the linked thread and putting it into org.chameleon.Boot.plist as the SystemID string solved this problem for me on 10.9.1, Chameleon 2.2 r2281.
