y upgrading your Hackintosh to 10.7.x Lion, you’re able to access the features of iCloud. iCloud allows you to store all your data amongst any Apple device. It’s like invisible syncing; synchroning data without you noticing it. But on activation you will run into this error: “Apple ID is valid but is not an iCloud account”. Hackintosh issue? And next to iCloud, Apple also introduced Appstore and FaceTime within OS X Lion. However without proper setup, this ain’t functioning either. Let’s get that fixed!
There are 2 methods to fix the iCloud issue. An easy and quick method and a more difficult method, that will cost more time. I will explain the easy method first, when it dont works, you could use the difficult method.
1. Easy Method
- Add the following lines to your org.chameleon.Boot.plist that is located in /Extra. You could do it manually or use an app like Champlist or Chameleon Wizard.
org.chameleon.Boot.plist
<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>Yes</string>
- Update your Chameleon to a revision above 1600, where the iCloud fix is included. The best method is to install Chameleon with myHack, then you are ensured that you have the latest version.
- You need to have a ‘unique’ Serial Number in your SMBios.plist, located in the /Extra folder. You can add this lines manually:
SMBios.plist
<key>SMserial</key>
<string>C02F3630DJD0</string> (example serial number)
- Or just generate a serialnumber with Champlist or Chameleon Wizard.
- Reboot and pray!
