iMessage immediate logout, Facetime login failure

[zooks97]

Describe the bug
I launch Messages.app and copy or type in my Apple ID and password. They are accepted, and I get an empty window like this:

If I quickly type in the name of a contact, they are found.
However, after about a second (and before any conversations or chat histories are loaded), I'm dumped back to the login window.

When I open FaceTime.app, my Apple ID is automatically filled in, but after entering my password, I'm given a loading circle and the login fails with no error message.

Expected behavior
Login in Messages and FaceTime works.

Can you try reinstalling the package and choose to regenerate unique identifiers?

I have tried many ways to slove this problem, but it did not work at all.

[zooks97]

Can you try a different Apple ID?

I don't have another Apple ID to try, but I'll make one and give it a go.

@holygeek00, have you tried more than one Apple ID?

[holygeek00]

sure，but I failed too

I don't have another Apple ID to try, but I'll make one and give it a go.

@holygeek00, have you tried more than one Apple ID?

I have tried to use another effective series number , and it finally works. Maybe you could use GenSmbios to generate new series number,MLB and uuid.

@osy Maybe you could write this in your guide.

In my experience I've always had to call Apple support to get a newly setup hackintosh working with iMessage and Facetime. When you generate SMBIOS info it's not guaranteed Apple will recognize your system info as valid. You can try re-rolling your unique identifiers or just call Apple.

Call Apple support and tell them you can't sign into iMessage or Facetime. Tell them your spoofed serial and identifiers. If they ask where you got the computer just say from a used computer store or a family member and you've just installed the OS fresh. Tier 1 support won't be able to help you but eventually you should be transferred to a tech who can manually authorize your Apple ID sign in attempts from your spoofed machine. They've done this for two machines for me.

What can I tell them when they ask why I did spoofed serial and identifiers?

Don't tell them you did. Just say it's your mom or dad's old work machine and they gave it to you. Don't say anything like "it doesn't look like a Mac" or "It looks weird". Just tell them the year and model of what you're spoofing and the error code you're getting.

When I had to do this, I spoke with someone from Tier 1 or 2 support, they'd go "hmm that's weird..", and eventually they'd escalate the issue to someone who unblocked my serial and identifier combo. Granted this was 4-5 years ago now.

Ok. Thank you.
