Many Hackintosh users running Mac OS X Lion have been unable to login to the Mac App Store, instead receiving the error, 'Your device or computer could not be verified. Contact support for assistance.' The verification issue appears to have affected the several legitimate Macs as well, though on less wide of a scale. There is no single, definite solution to this issue, but several possible workarounds are available. Read past the break to find out how to fix the error.
El Capitan Cannot Be Verified Full
Oct 02, 2020 Finally, if the above solutions do not work out for you, what you can do is download and install the operating system in macOS Safe Mode. This is only for the users that are trying to upgrade from their current version to El Capitan. This means, if you do not have macOS installed already, this will not work for you. Apr 01, 2016 “This copy of the Install OS X Mavericks application can’t be verified. It may have been corrupted or tampered with during downloading” The reason why this insane message is happening is because as of February 2016, the security certificates that validate these Mac OS X installs seems to have expired.
There are several solutions to the login error.1. Go to /Extra in your main hard drive and open the text file org.Chameleon.boot.plist with TextEdit. This is the configuration file for the Chimera bootloader (which UserDSDT uses). Add this string to the part of the file between <dict> and </dict>:
<key>EthernetBuiltIn</key>
<string>Yes</string>
Then reboot. If this doesn't solve the errors, proceed to the next solution.
2. Open org.Chameleon.boot.plist again. Add the following string:
<key>PCIRootUID</key>
<string>1</string>
If this string is currently set to 0, change it to 1. Reboot.
3. If neither of the above solutions fix the issue, open the System Preferences app and go to the Network section. On the left-hand column in the Network section, select each of the items and remove it by clicking the minus sign on the bottom of the column.
Then, go to /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration in your main hard drive and delete NetworkInterfaces.plist. Or alternatively, drag it to the desktop (as a backup, in case things go wrong).
By removing all of the Network items in System Preferences and deleting NetworkInterfaces.plist, you have effectively reset the network configuration for Mac OS X. Reboot (you may have to reconfigure your internet connection afterwards).

I installed Ink/Stitch in my native language, but the dialogue windows are displayed in English
Incomplete Translation
It is possible, that not all strings have been translated. This is indicated by some strings of text beeing in English and others in your native language.If you like to complete the translation, have a look at our description for translators.
Language Settings
We have to distinguish between the Extension menu in Inkscape and the dialogue windows.The selection of the ZIP file causes only the Extension menu to be in a certain language.The dialgoue windows are build differently. They will use the language of your operating system.If Ink/Stitch is uncertain, which language to support, it will fallback on English.You can tell Inkscape explicitly to use your native language as follows:
- Go to Edit > Preferences > Interface (Ctrl + Shift + P)
- Set your language
- Restart Inkscape
