Q: How do I verify the identity of a Macbook air? Won't let me login to iCloud because of this ...

Try to log into iCloud on my Mac air and I get this message

You cannot sign in to iCloud because there was a problem verifying the identity of this Mac. Try restarting your Mac and signing in again.

I've restarted the Mac and no change - what can I do next?

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ About This Mac
Below the "OS X" legend in the window that opens, the OS version appears. Click the version line twice to display the serial number. If the number is missing or invalid according to this web form, take the machine to an Apple Store or other authorized service center to have the problem corrected.

Go to /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/NetworkInterfaces.plist

Move the NetworkInterfaces.plist file to the Trash.

Restart your Mac.
