OK so I technically have iMessage working on my hack but only when I use someone else's account eg: kids account from iPad. When I use my own account I get the authentication error. Does this mean my apple I'd cannot use imessage on Mac? Because I can use my account on iPad and send imessages.

Hello there,

 

You could experiment with the SN, MLB and the SmUUID to see if that causes the problem.

 

Instructions for the SN and the MLB.

https://clover-wiki.zetam.org/Configuration/SMBIOS#smbios_serialnumber

https://clover-wiki.zetam.org/Configuration/RtVariables#rtvariables_mlb

To generate a new SmUUID, type the following command in terminal.

uuidgen

And configure the ROM if it's not.

Best regards.

As I said imessage does work but not with my account that was created on the hackintosh but each of my kids have an iPad and those accounts work on the hackintosh.

That's why I suggested the above. The other accounts were registered on valid devices and will work temporarily.

 

I could create a new account, on any hackintosh running clover, and prove to you that the hackintosh is not the reason of your problem, but I will, just, waste my time and you'll not learn anything because you don't listen, well read in current case.

 

*The above phrase may sound mean, but it's just the reality*  :) 

 

Last advice, there's a tool on the internet, iMessage Debug.

 

Best of luck.

 

I have read through the above links but i cannot get imessage to work. I regen a new serial number with clover and test it on apple selfsolve, i generate smuuid, iMessage debug is just showing me what i have previously entered. Any help on what i am doing wrong would be appreciated.

I assume you didn't change/insert the BoardSerialNumber value.

 

Take a look at the BoardSerialNumber section.

https://clover-wiki.zetam.org/Configuration/SMBIOS#smbios_boardserialnumber

MLB and BoardSerialNumber should be the same value.

 

Furthermore, you could share the config file until we find the problem. Afterwards, you should change the sensitive information.

 

Best regards.
