sisiphus00 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 Well, i keep receiving this message 'Please contact Apple Support' after installing clover and editing config.plist. It is really annoying because i do everything properly but iMessage won't work. I do not have any apple device so i can't apply the log out fix. Is anyone still having this problem? I just am about to give up, but before that i would like to ask this excellent forum, maybe there is a fix that i miss. thank you guys Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/286098-imessage-contact-apple-support-error/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

theconnactic Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 It's exhaustively said, but let's go: If you are getting "Contact Apple support", no workaround will work but one of these two below: 1) Add a valid credit card to your AppleID; 2) Log with your AppleID in legit Apple hardware, i.e.: an iPhone, iPad, a real Mac etc. No other workaround has been proven to work! There's a very well known logical fallacy, "post hoc ergo propter hoc" (after that, thus caused by that) that's behind the various claims to have the issue solved after doing this or that simple thing, when the plain fact there's no other explanation than pure coincidence to 100% of these claims. It's so true that none of these "workarounds" are reproducible. The only proven workarounds for the "Contact Apple support" are those two above. I beg forgiveness if i'm being harsh: all in all, everybody just wants to help and to be helped. But that's a so very much discussed subject by now, and guessing solutions that cannot be certified to work mostly do more harm than good. That's it. All the best and good luck! 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/286098-imessage-contact-apple-support-error/#findComment-1897375 Share on other sites More sharing options...

theconnactic Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 So you should solve other subjacent issues before even trying to get iMessage to work.

dannymichel Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 This might be a very bad thing, but I actually called Apple support and they escalated it to somewhere and said they'd call me back.

theconnactic Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Is there anybody who got it working without credit card and without an iOS device? No, the only existing workaround for it up to now is to either add a valid CC or use an iOS device. All the best!

dannymichel Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I think the problem happens when you do too many fresh installs. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/286098-imessage-contact-apple-support-error/#findComment-1898984 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampage Dev Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I think the problem happens when you do too many fresh installs. No, there was something that you were doing wrong. I reinstall on my test hdd at least 2 times a week and my fix always works.

dannymichel Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Because of the non use of a credit card. I'm not sure what you mean. I did say in an earlier post that I did update my credit card before calling them.
