Cameron Nicholson Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Hello Ladies and Gents, I wonder if you can help me. I am hackintoshing my laptop but I can't log into iCloud as I receive the following error "this apple id is valid but is not an iCloud account". The laptop is running the latest Yosemite 10.10.3 and is using clover as the boot loader. I have copied the MLB and Rom from my main hack which has no issues. Any ideas would be very much appreciated.

Allan Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 You are signing into iCloud (in system preferences) using the same login as you do for iCloud.com?

Yes, signing in, in system preferences with the same ID.

I just looked at my BSD name of my ethernet card and it's en1...? That could be the issue, right?

My SMBios was a MBA which makes WifI EN0, seen as I haven't changed the WiFi card I'm using Ethernet which is EN1 when using a MBA SMBios. I switched to a Mac Mini SMbios and it works perfectly.
