There was a discussion but was deleted for same reason.

I share a @redleg instructions:

AFAIK, this is a generic issue with QEMU Macos guests, and relates to using a "default" or common etheret MAC address, Mac serial number and UUID.

I struggled with this for over a year starting with OSX-KVM.

I FINALLY got this sorted within the last few days in a Venture VM by doing the following:

* When creating the VM and installing, DO NOT login with or create an AppleID during installation.

* Go to https://dortania.github.io/OpenCore-Post-Install/universal/iservices.html#using-macserial .  Read from the top of the page.  I have NOT had luch with GenSMBIOS, others have, YMMV.

* CAREFULLY follow the instructions for macserial to generate the required values, which replace those in config.plist in the OF folder of the EFI partition.  Figure the values out while in the host os, then boot the vm, and from within, mount the EFI partition, edit the config.plist

* A video which helps with what to do and how within the VM is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbSq1Ns7qcQ .  This steps you through mounting the EFI partition from within MacOS, editing the plist file, and validating the serial number.

* I was careful to generate a MAC address with a proper Apple OUI.  Google Apple OUIs, pick one, and generate the remaining bytes randomly.  There are several sites which will generate the MAC for you which let you supply the OUI, just google.

* With all of the editing done, reboot.  Even if you have an existing and valid AppleID, son;t use it yet.  Attempt to generate a new one from the top entry in the control panel.  If you proceed to the point where it asks for your birthday, you have succeeeded.  Either proceed and generate a new AppleID, or cancel and log in using your existing one.
I hope this helps.......

Anyway I don't understand how to mount EFI partition because it fail for me and previous discussion was deleted before that I could try

[redleg]

Open a terminal window and type the following command: "diskutil list" This will list your installed physical disks (in the Virtual environment), each with their partitions. My installation has two physical (virtual) disks, each with the Name EFI. the first being where OpenCore lives, in my case /dev/disk0s1 Mount this EFI with the command: "sudo diskutil Mountdisk /dev/disk0s1". This should mount to /Volumes/EFI. The file you want is /Volumes/EFI/EFI/OC/config.plist.

Will need to try the above comments, but trying to login on ventura through System Settings it does give more info than I was getting before (which was basically nothing)

MOBILEME_CREATE_UNAVAILABLE_MAC

After doing GenSMBIOS on the guide linked above, I was able to login in ventura through System Settings

When signing into the app store with it, the review screen of the terms and such are blank, but if you have another window focused that is not the app store window, you can see the contents and you can still interact even when the screen is blank so you can still fill out the form

nvm you can fill out the form but now getting a contact itunes for assistance error message, will give it a couple days to see if it is just because of how frequently I was trying to sign in to the apple account to test if changes worked
