I also cant get imessage to work, i tried the fix, i changed my password i signed off and singed in with all my ios devices.

I also tried FileNVRAM version 1.1.2 and 1.1.3 it always gives me the error that i should contact the apple support. The costumer support code always changes, everytime i restart my hackintosh, is this normal?

I also created a brandnew apple id and added a payment method to it. it always gives me the costumer support error. the fact that it also gives me this error with a brand new apple id makes me curious.

should i contact the apple support or do you guys think this is a bad idea?

Well, never mind.

Last night I got iMessage working again. After trying the steps several times and doing a full reinstall, I changed my AppleID password, and that did the trick.

This morning, turn my computer on it asks me to sign into iMessage again, and I get the "An error occurred during activation. Try again." message again.

Also, I was just listening to a song on youtube and the sound on it cut. I tried turning the volume up and down with my keyboard and the volume noise keeps sort of sputtering. Reloaded the page and the sound is fine again, but it just seems strange.

But is there anything else I can do with iMessage? It was working yesterday...

So I now seem to be having a lot of issues.

Yesterday my brother gave me two new WD Caviar 640 GB hard drives, they are previously used and were formatted as FAT 32. I only had 1 extra Sata cable at the time, so I plugged one in.

Then I do a fresh install of Mavericks on my SSD (which has two partitions, one for Windows 7). The install went smoothly. iMessage still wasn't working, but I reformatted the new 640 HHD (still in FAT 32), and it was working fine. I can't distinctly remember doing so, but I feel that I must have rebooted at least once after the reformatting of that HDD. Later after trying the steps for the NVRAM solution a few times with no luck, I changed my password for my Apple ID and that seemed to do the trick. * I also noticed that the actual NVRAM file had a different uuid than previously (it had always been nvram.00020003-0004-0005-0006-000700080009.plist), and I believe that's what made it finally work because when I had tried to do this before the reinstall, the uuid in that file had always remained the same and didn't match the one from the smbios.plist.

This morning, I turned on my computer and it wouldn't boot up. It got through the motherboard screen, and instead of going to the boot screen it was just black with _/ at the top left corner. I unplugged the new HDD and rebooted and it started up just fine, but iMessage was no longer working. I decided to plug in the OTHER HDD. It started up fine (it was formatted in FAT 32 as well), I reformatted to get the proper name but kept it in FAT 32. I shut down and plugged both of the new 640s in and started up, and it wouldn't boot. I unplugged both, and it still wouldn't boot. I unplugged two of my other HDDs (I thought I had them all but realized I forgot one), but it started up fine. iMessage still isn't working.

But onto the real iMessage part of this. I looked in the /Extra folder, and noticed there are two NVRAM files. The correct one, and nvram.00020003-0004-0005-0006-000700080009.plist again. I deleted the wrong one and rebooted. When I opened the /Extra folder, it was there again and instead of getting the "An error occurred during activation. Try again." message, I can sign in but it says that my contacts aren't registered, so it's back to the original iMessage issue, and I believe it's because of that NVRAM file that keeps showing up.

How do I stop that from coming up again?

And if any one has any ideas about the HDDs... I'm really at a loss. I am not very experienced with computers and am not quite sure what I should be doing. I'm going to unplug all but my SSD and then try rebooting that with one other HDD at a time to see if I can figure out which ones have an issue and see if I can somehow do something about it.

@Hondamaker,

You must make sure that the boot-loader is on the active OSX startup drive and that you boot from that drive, the /Extra folder must be accessible at all times, if you use Raid or install Boot-loader to EFI partition it will not work (see work arounds in part-1 of the guide)

Many times people install OSX on a secondary drive but boot from a primary drive into windows, this will also not work. The drive that is booted by the bios must have the boot-loader and /extra folder.

If you boot using a USB stick it will not work.

All the above is the usual cause of failure to generate the nvram.uuid.plist, please note that 'uuid' in the filename should be the same as your SM UUID which is either generated by your BIOS or manually injected via SMBIOS.plist or org.chameleon.boot.plist, see part two of the guide (SID fix).

Cheers
Jay

Thanks Jay!

ROM
MLB

and the last is you need smuuid value took by DumpUefiCalls.efi, because your last 12 digits of your IOPlatformUUID doesn't match with mac address, you need to place it in to EFI/CLOVER/drivers64UEFI, then after you reboot it, look for log.txt in drivers64UEFI's folder, and find system-id value, which last 12 digits number is match with you mac address, or post log.txt file here and I'll help you

that's your main issue, you don't have MLB and ROM value, other value is fine, it doesn't matter as long as it is not a failed value, reading the first page of this guide will help you how to solve it,
btw, what loader you're using cham or clover
