App Store & iCloud Issue?

[CruseRocks]

Hello Olarila,

I was trying to Log in App Store, but i could not able to do so. It gives me error like: An unknown error has occurred

Even iCloud. Error: Unable to sign in because of a problem communicating with iCloud.

Please let me know how to fix it.

Thanks in advanced.

Things you should check

 

• recent Chameleon (later than r1649)
  
• ethernet set as built-in (EthernetBuiltIn=yes in /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist or DSDT patch)
  
• ethernet (on-board PCI) as en0 in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist
  
• valid serial in SMBIOS (use Chameleon Wizard to generate a valid random number)

Do i need any further changer? Thanks for your time.

Built-in ethernet must be PCI, you are using USB.

Install drivers for on-board PCI ethernet (even if you don't use it). Set PCI as en0 and USB as en1 (remove NetworkInterfaces.plist and it should be re-created like that after reboot).

Also, generate an unique serial, the one you are using is probably being used by thousands of hackintoshes.

How big the THANKS should be App Store and iCloud is working 100% fine.

Thanks once again

Hi Oldnapalm. It's a pleasure to actually write to you after reading the history of the project and understanding some of the contributions you and others have made.

I'm working on my first build, and I'm having similar issues to CruseRocks, where I see an "unknown error has occurred" at App Store.

Now following the threads, I have confirmed:

1) Chameleon build is - Chameleon 2.1svn (svn-r2033) [2012-08-03 14:18:47]

2) /Extra/org.chameleon.Boot.plist has

EthernetBuiltIn

Yes

3) /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist has

Interfaces

Ethernet Adaptor (en0)

SCNetworkInterfaceType

Ethernet

4) I have also generated unique serial numbers using Chameleon Wizard, at least 4-5 times, saving each time and verifying that it is writing to the SMBIOS file. Do the other arguments in the select screen matter?

SMBIOS Content:

SMbiosversion

APPLE 12345

SMboardproduct

Mac-F42C88C8

SMfamily

Mac Pro

SMproductname

MacPro3,1

SMserial

Omitted String

I'm sure it's something I am doing. But just wondering if you had any other ideas on what could be happening? As stated I've saved and rebooted each time, only to come back to the same error.

Many, many thanks in advance for all of your help thusfar from previous posts I've read. This has been quite the educational experience!!!

IOBuiltin

This should be true. Maybe NetworkInterfaces.plist was created before you set EthernetBuiltIn=yes? Delete the file and check how it's re-created after reboot.

Run in terminal

ioreg -l | grep -15 "AppleACPIPCI\ " | grep UID

If you see "_UID" = "1" set in org.chameleon.Boot.plist

<key>PciRoot</key>
<string>1</string>

 

SMbiosversion

APPLE 12345

This may not be related, but SMbiosversion should be something like MP31.88Z.006C.B05.0802291410

Holy crap, it works!!! Thank you! Looking good!

hi

to log in icloud and app store

must have this

chameleon one of the lasts

valid serial in smbios

ethernet must be in en0

in org.chameleon.boot

ethernetbuiltin=Yes

good hack

[kakamoti90]

Hi Artur

I used chimera latest version it is same like chameleon. I fixed according to "ethernetbuiltin=Yes" but still i cannot be able to sign in iCloud. I am sending mine "Smbios" configuration. Please check if i need to change any thing even i change my serial no according to tonycrap. If it not right then what it should be. I am using p8p67 deluxe board.

Thanks in advance.

I am also unable to log in to iCloud and or the AppStore and discovered that the value of the key IOBuiltin of my NetworkingInterfaces.plist file gets continuously changed to false after every boot.

When I change that value to true ( sudo vi .....) and reboot it is back to false after completing that reboot.

That even happens when I change the permission of that file with sudo chmod 444 to r--r--r-- So there is somewhere

some "higher authority" that plays up on me.

The single Ethernet card of my hack is shown by System Report as en0. In my org.Chameleon.Boot.plist file

EthernetBuitin value is set to yes.

I am using the Lnx2Mac's RealtekRTL81x.. drivers built into MuliBeast 5.02 with my networking functionality being 100%

without any other issues.

I am using a GA X58A-UD3R mobo i7 930 OC 4.2 gigs Disabling OC makes no difference.

Any help is most appreciated.

OK in the meantime I got it working. I added another EFI string for the Ethernet card into the

org.chamelion.Boot.plist file.

My rig Ga x58A UD3R 12gig Mushkin OC 4.2 gigs Noctua NH-D14 cooler GTX285 +8400GS

video cards iCloud,sleep,dual video cards,networking, blue ray writer, CD/DVDwriter, 12 SATA drives all with 32 meg on board cache. These together with the 2 optical drives occupy all of the 12 available SATA ports on this mobo. Tripple booting, Everything is working like a dream.

Anybody interested wanting to know how I got the 8400GS working with Mountain Lion let me know

I have a simple universal solution that many may benefit from for those legacy cards that still used to

work in Lion 10.7.5 but for which Apple dropped support under Mountain Lion.

hello

use one of last chameleon

valid serial in smbios

ethernetbuiltin=yes

ethernet in en0

if nothing of this works

insert also in org.chameleon

SystemId

**

Replace the ** with the key generated from http://www.famkruithof.net/uuid/uuidgen

good hack

Thank you very much for this post. It was really useful (when I really follow instructions) if you make it property.

Deleting NetworkInterfaces.plist was enough to fix editing problems I were experimenting.

Thank you guys for all this hard work done.
