Nearly perfect I have a specific usage case - I work in a multiplatform environment in which I work on the Mac and on the PC. I don't want to keep changing physical keyboards, so despite the fact that the two physical machines are next to eachother beneath my desk, I use remote desktop to view and operate the PC while working on the Mac.

Until now, most who are interested in macOS might have known everything or at least heard about the next version of macOS. The macOS Catalina is one of the most up running operating systems which has the most advanced features and update apps. This new version of the operating system which is recently out in July 2019 does everything in a quick, easy, and fairway.

In addition to Mac users who are enthusiastic about macOS, Windows users are also interested in macOS. Now without any use, there’s no benefit of their interest. With this in mind, they’ve found a working way to install macOS on Windows. The installation is process is shown by us and we’ve also shared the file.

With that, there are countless of Windows users running macOS on virtual machines such as VMware Workstation or VirtualBox. But after installation, pretty much most of the users have informed us of the features not working problem such as iMessage, iCloud, and App Store. In this article, I’ll show how to fix macOS Catalina iMessage, iCloud, and App Store problem on VMware on Windows PC.

Every time Apple announces a new operating system, Apple also reveals new awesome unique features with it such as Dark Mode. The Dark mode is one of the highlighted features in the new macOS Catalina. There are also a bunch of other features such as iCloud Drive folder sharing, Screen Time, Apple Music time-synced lyrics view, and more. You can also experience your favorite iPad apps now on your Mac. The update also improves the performance, quality, and security of your Mac.

Something else which you may notice is no more iTunes. That is the shifted with three different apps so now we have separate Apple Music, Apple TV, and Apple Podcasts. And use Finder for some of the other functions, for example, syncing iPhone. Around that, Apple has also updated its existing features such as iMessage, iCloud, App Store and more.

Fix macOS Catalina iMessage, iCloud, App Store on VMware & VirtualBox
iMessage is one of the most useful features of Apple’s ecosystem that works amazingly across all their devices. While iMessage might work fine across all the Apple devices but it doesn’t actually work well on macOS installed on VMware or VirtualBox. And the reason is also very clear. That is because it is neither supported by Apple nor it is compatible with Windows.
You can use iMessages in iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. iMessages are not available on iCloud.com. The messages are stored in the iCloud backup. So you cannot view iMessages online. But with an iPhone backup extractor, you can access iMessages, text messages on iCloud backup.
But unfortunately, as useful as it is that users would like to use it, they are failed to do so. The iMessage, iCloud, and App store doesn’t work the way you want or doesn’t work well as before so there is a simple way to fix that problem. Follow the steps below for fixing the problems of iMessage, iCloud, and App Store.
Go to the VMware or VirtualBox and look for machine files where it is located. Then head to the folder and navigate to the file with .vmx file at the end. By default, virtual machines are stored in My Documents > Virtual Machine > macOS Mojave > macOS Mojave.vmx. When you’re there, right-click on the file and open it with Notepad.
If you didn’t find Notepad there, click on Choose another app and then from there select Notepad.
When the file opened, search for board-id.reflectHost = “True”. When you find this text, change “TRUE” to “FALSE” and add a blank line below it. Add your system definitions from below to that blank line. If you don’t know how to create a system definition for your computer, check out the items below that are some system definitions.

System Definitions

  • iMac 13,2
    board-id = “Mac-FC02E91DDD3FA6A4”
    hw.model.reflectHost = “FALSE”
    hw.model = “iMac13,2”
    serialNumber.reflectHost = “FALSE”
    serialNumber = “C02H82KLDNCW”
    smbios.reflectHost = “FALSE”
    efi.nvram.var.ROM.reflectHost = “FALSE”
    efi.nvram.var.MLB.reflectHost = “FALSE”
    efi.nvram.var.ROM = “3c0754a2f9be”
  • iMac 14,2
    board-id = “Mac-27ADBB7B4CEE8E61”
    hw.model.reflectHost = “FALSE”
    hw.model = “iMac14,2”
    serialNumber.reflectHost = “FALSE”
    serialNumber = “C02KP7A9F8JC”
    smbios.reflectHost = “FALSE”
    efi.nvram.var.ROM.reflectHost = “FALSE”
    efi.nvram.var.MLB.reflectHost = “FALSE”
    efi.nvram.var.ROM = “3c0754a2f9be”
  • iMac 18,3
    board-id = “Mac-BE088AF8C5EB4FA2”
    hw.model.reflectHost = “FALSE”
    hw.model = “iMac18,3”
    serialNumber.reflectHost = “FALSE”
    serialNumber = “C02TC4YKJ1GJ”
    smbios.reflectHost = “FALSE”
    efi.nvram.var.ROM.reflectHost = “FALSE”
    efi.nvram.var.MLB.reflectHost = “FALSE”
    efi.nvram.var.ROM = “3c0754a2f9be”
  • MacBook Pro 14,3
    board-id = “Mac-551B86E5744E2388”
    hw.model.reflectHost = “FALSE”
    hw.model = “MacBookPro14,3”
    serialNumber.reflectHost = “FALSE”
    serialNumber = “C02TX2EZHTD5”
    smbios.reflectHost = “FALSE”
    efi.nvram.var.ROM.reflectHost = “FALSE”
    efi.nvram.var.MLB.reflectHost = “FALSE”
    efi.nvram.var.ROM = “3c0754a2f9be”

Once added the system definition to the macOS Catalina vmx then press Ctrl + S to save the file.

After restart, the problem will be no more longer there so enjoy. But if this method doesn’t work or you couldn’t accomplish with this method or want another method so take a look at another step below.

Next Fix: Fix macOS Catalina iMessage, iCloud, App Store on VMware & VirtualBox

This solution is if the first fix didn’t work so proceed with this. Remember not to skip the first method and directly head to this step. This is only if the first step didn’t work.

Cannot Find Mojave In App Store

To fix, download the latest version of Clover Configurator. Once installed, open it and click on SMBIOS on the left and then click on the top and bottom of the arrow shown in the image below. After selecting the macOS version (iMac 18,3, MacBook Pro 14,2) and then click “Generate New”. It will produce a new series to define the system you have chosen.

Generate New Serial Number for MacOS

By creating a new serial number, replace it with the old serial number in the macOS Catalina.vmx file. Be sure not to change somewhere else and only make this change. Other changes make break machine.

Fix Apps Not Opening on macOS Catalina

If you received an error message while opening Clover Configurator or any other program, click Ok to close the error window.

Click the Allow or Open button anyway and open the app.

That was the method I did to fix iMessage and iCloud and App Store on VMware. I recommend using the first method first. If it didn’t work, try for the next one. In the final fix, I’ve shown and fixed the problem of not opening apps which requires some permission. I’ve also done allowing third-party apps in a separate tutorial.
