holyfield Posted October 24, 2013 Share Posted October 24, 2013 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?

coelomate Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 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.

skierdorf Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 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 1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/293036-fixed-messages-an-error-occurred-during-activation-try-again/#findComment-1958063 Share on other sites More sharing options...
holyfield Posted October 25, 2013 Author Share Posted October 25, 2013 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> Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/293036-fixed-messages-an-error-occurred-during-activation-try-again/#findComment-1958508 Share on other sites More sharing options...
colbygardner Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 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?
