Cannot connect to apple id using Virtual Box Mac OS High Sierra - macos

When I try connecting to the app store, itunes, etc. it returns an error that says "Unexpected error occured". That's it, nothing else.
I have a virtual machine running Mac OS High Sierra. I am using Oracle VM VirtualBox Manager. I have given my mac environment a "serial number" using VBoxManage setextradata “MacOS High Sierra” VBoxInternal/Devices/efi/0/Config/DmiSystemSerial "number" When I go to Apple>About this Mac it lists the correct serial number I assigned it too. Before hand, it would just list the serial number as 0.
My question is, how do I connect my mac environment to my apple id for app store, itunes, etc?

I changed the DNS to apples DNS
system prefs>network>advanced
Click + on the DNS entries and add 8.8.4.4
Make sure the ethernet remains green. save. Then reconnect to the appleID. It will still take a little longer to log in but it works.

Resetting the Keychain did the trick for me.
Keychain Access -> Preferences -> Reset default keychains
Then it takes a minute to log in, but does so eventually.

It took me ages, but I finally got my VM with MacOS working. I suggest really to use VMWare. I was stubborn and tried to use Virtualbox but I got no luck at all.
With VMWare I got it fully functional.
I used this code first answer and no errors!

How do I connect MacOS Lion via samba to Ubuntu?

I have an old iMac running 10.7.5. I am trying to connect to my Ubuntu file server (running 22.4.1 LTS) to save a huge amount of data before discontinuing the iMac.
Every time I try smb://192.168.1.5, I get "There was an error ... please check the server name or IP address...".
Using the same method and IP address on my Mac mini using MacOS 13.1 gets me connected without issues.
I tried using "cifs://192.168.1.5", but got the same error.
I also tried going to System Settings to turn on File Sharing (although this is for sharing files that are ON the iMac) because I read that turning this off and on might fix this issue. This is not the case.
Since I am not well versed with older Mac systems, I am unsure on how to solve this. Any ideas would be welcome.

Disable airplay in macOS Monterey

I have been running some containers and applications on some ports in mac for local development and they were working fine (Atleast in catalina and Big sur). To be more specific I was using port 7000 for running an application for local development. It seems like since some patched update of Monterey, Control centre is running Airplay on ports 5000 and 7000.
I don't use Airplay and I am fine to disable it. However after digging through internet, I haven't been able to achieve it.
One option that was recommended somewhere was to strip the permissions of AirPlayUIAgent using root access.
sudo chmod 000 /System/Library/CoreServices/AirPlayUIAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/AirPlayUIAgent
However I am not allowed to do it and I am met with an "operation not permitted"
Is there a way to disable airplay at all in Monterey? It used to be just a toggle in display preferences. Good old days.

how to fix emulator duplicate mac address?

we're a company that sells android box that has an emulator installed on it, but we're facing a duplicate mac addresses problem, this problem occurred when we started using android boxes with 5g support on it, does this cause the problem ? the emulator we install is STB emulator
It will cause problem if 2 devices are in the same local network. Even if it's not thought to be used like this your clients may want to try it and would be surprised if it doesn't work.
Tools exist to generate (via software) a random or different Mac address. macchanger for instance on Linux distributions.

Delphi - Checklist for PAServer Connection (Mac OSX)

I have spent the better part of a day trying to connect to PAServer on MAC OSX from my Windows PC with no luck. I am not sure what I am missing.
I am using Delphi 10.2 Tokyo on Windows. Trying to connect to PAServer 19.0 on a Mac Mini running macOS Sierra (10.12.4) on which I already have XCode (v8.3.2) installed along with Command Line Tools.
Both the dev machine as well as the Mac Mini are connected to the same Wifi network. I even tried connecting both machines to a different network but with the same issue.
I get the same error message every time that the connection failed. I suspect that it has something to do with the network - where the 2 machines cannot see each other, but I don't know how I can confirm this or resolve it. I have tried to search on SO as well as online but have not found anything that has helped.
Has anyone seen this issue and overcome it? Is there a set of steps I can go thru to troubleshoot this? Any help or guidance would be most appreciated!
OK - I kept trying out different things and was able to solve this issue (one way to solve it I guess).
Because it seemed like it was network related, I tried first to create a hotspot with my phone and connected the dev machine and the Mac Mini to it. The PAServer connection worked.
So I looked for a way to do this via Windows. Here are the steps I followed:
Open Settings > Network & Internet (on Windows 10)
Go into Mobile Hotspot and select Wi-Fi in the Share my
Connection From dropdown
Set a Network name and Network password
Turn on Share my Internet connection with other devices
Now on the Mac, connect to the network name we set up in step 3 and enter the password that was set. Then start PAServer on the Mac. That's it!
Now when you connect from Delphi to PAServer, the connection succeeds.
Note: Interestingly, when I was not using the mobile hotspot method on Windows, the IP address on PAServer (and on Windows) was 10.xx.xx.xx. With the mobile hotspot, the IP address is 192.xx.xx.xx.
I just configured (today) a new macos sierra with paserver. yes it's painfull :(
don't use virtualbox (it's buggy and slow), but use instead VMware, it's work like a charm. it's much more easy to have only one computer to develop than 2. also you can copy/past the log or anythink else from macosx to windows (or vice-versa) in just one click. and you will not have any internet problem or anything else ...

VirtualBox guest running OSX Mountain Lion: XCode install error

I'm trying to install Xcode in a VirtualBox Hackintosh for app development purposes. I used MultiBeast and the Xcode installation is complaining about the display, but the way VirtualBox handles displays and graphics is beyond me.
I get the following error: Xcode: CVCGDisplayLink::setCurrentDisplay didn't find a valid display -- falling back to 60Hz.
I've currently followed the installation instructions from this link. I'm not sure if it makes a difference but my host is ArchLinux with Intel Haswell with Iris Pro Graphics.
Why am I getting this error?
Hmm.. not sure if this is right or not. I did this, and it fixed something:
from http://www.macbreaker.com/2012/07/mountain-lion-virtualbox.html
You need to change the CPUID to a non-Haswell ID to fix the issue
non-booting 10.8 on a Haswell CPU:
VBoxManage modifyvm {your vm name here} –cpuidset 00000001 000106e5 02100800 0098e3fd bfebfbff
But I'm having some trouble remembering the exact chain of events. It might've been another tweak later on that got XCode to install properly.
Regardless, I feel dirty for even attempting to do this. I hoped I would never be put in a situation where I had to cheat on Linux, but it beats spending over a grand (despite that mine is top-notch) to work on a useless iPhone app. In other words, it sucks being an independent commodity producer.
I'm getting the same error, but on actual Apple hardware.
Despite that, the display link object does seem to work.
Maybe it's because it is not familiar with my Dell monitor.
