Problem with Sierra and iCloud

Morpheus NS · July 14, 2016

I have successfully installed Sierra public beta on my machine from description. It runs fine but there is one problem. I cannot start certain applications (Messages, QuickTime Player, iBooks).

I've (kind of) isolated the problem to iCloud. If I do not enter my iCloud username and password in System preferences, these apps work fine. But if I choose to do it, I run into problems. I tried creating a new user, the same thing happens - as long as I don't login to iCloud everything works fine.

So, I'm guessing there is a problem with some configuration files downloaded from iCloud, but how can I find out which ones? Is there an application which can check all plists and determine which one is corrupted?

Also:

Any ideas?

Nothing? The crashed thread is always the same, attached below. vImage, ColorSync, QuartzCore... problems with graphics compatibility?

I would try to create another User in OSX and log on.

Then try the iCloud connection with that user and your AppleID.

Maybe there is some issue with your original OSX user account or profile...

Morpheus NS · July 21, 2016

I tried that earlier, but situation is the same. I can open iMessage with new user, but as soon as I enter my iCloud username and password it panics and from that moment on everything is the same as on my main account. iMessage fails as soon as I open it, iCloud system preferences panel logs me out as soon as I open it, and iBooks have trouble opening PDF's.

The obvious solution is to create new iCloud account but that would be a pain in the ***, I'd have to backup everything. enter all my passwords again and change iCloud account on my iPhone too.

al6042 · July 21, 2016

May I take a look at your config.plist from Clover?

Morpheus NS · July 22, 2016

Sure, here's the current one:

config.plist.zip

It worked very well with Yosemite and El Capitan, I never had any problems with iCloud services. Even now everything works fine apart from the iMessage issue, everything is synced.

I plan to move to iMac 13,1 SMBios, it seems to be a better fit for my current configuration because it uses an Ivy Bridge processor with similar clock speed.

Morpheus NS · July 24, 2016

iMessage works fine with all the same settings in El Capitan. The only thing different between two installations is that Sierra is installed on an SSD, and El Capitan on 7200rpm HDD.

Now I am really lost. When I enter the top message from the error report in google search there is one (literally ONE) result -> mine from this thread.

Hello. Please try this kernel patch in your config plist in KernelAndKextPatches section

 		<key>KernelToPatch</key>
		<array>
			<dict>
				<key>Disabled</key>
				<false/>
				<key>Find</key>
				<data>
				uaABAAAPMg==

				<string>10.12</string>
				<key>Replace</key>
				<data>
				uaABAAAxwA==
				</data>
			</dict>
		</array>

It should help with your problem.

Please report.

Best regards.

Morpheus NS · September 9, 2016

Thank you, @vandroiy2012! I am currently not at home to try it, but as soon as I get home from vacation I will try your patch and report back!

Morpheus NS · September 22, 2016

Hello. Please try this kernel patch in your config plist in KernelAndKextPatches section

It took a while, sorry. I managed to try it today using USB stick with the same version of Clover as on my main SSD... did not help. I get exactly the same error as before.

vandroiy2012 · September 22, 2016

You sure injecting this patch in KernelToPatch section, 'cos everybody insert it in KextToPatch))) This is KERNEL patch.

Also use latest clover!!!

Morpheus NS · September 22, 2016

It works with Clover r3763! I needed NullCPUPowerManagement.kext for some reason (kernel panic with AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext otherwise), but iMessage works fine. Thank you so much!

vandroiy2012 · September 22, 2016

It works with Clover r3763! I needed NullCPUPowerManagement.kext for some reason (kernel panic with AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext otherwise), but iMessage works fine. Thank you so much!

I think i can help you with this also

1. Delete NullCPUPowerManagement.kext

2. Add one more KERNEL patch in KernelToPatch section

			<dict>
				<key>Comment</key>
				<string>xcpm on Sierra Haswell Celeron/Pentium</string>
				<key>Disabled</key>
				<false/>
				<key>Find</key>
				<data>
				g8PEg/si
				</data>
				<key>MatchOS</key>
				<string>10.12</string>
				<key>Replace</key>
				<data>
				g8PGg/si
				</data>
			</dict>

3. Add -xcpm in BootArgs

4. Now your CPU will use XCPM mode instead of AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement and speedstep will work

5. Profit

Morpheus NS · September 22, 2016

That one didn't work, I guess because G1610 is an Ivy Bridge processor. None of the power management tweaks worked for me in the past. That's not a problem, I plan on moving to newer architecture in a couple of months anyway.

Please report.

wow .. thanks @vandroiy2012 .. :thumbsup_anim:

Try adding FakeCPUID 0x0306A0 in config.plist

It should work because we mask our Haswell Celeron with IvyBridge ID And this patch enables XCPM mode for Ivy Bridge forcing system to think that Ivy Bridge is actually Haswell Core i5 .

I have same issue with iMessage, and find this thread so useful, thank you @vandroiy2012 for the iMassage patch. Yes for some reason AICPM clover patch is not working (KP) . So, I tried manually patching the kernel with hex editor, and let clover did the job with AICPM patch. And it works!! (hope this fixed in future clover update).
