Sometimes Necessary: Set Up Network Configuration

IMPORTANT: Make sure that your primary network is set as en0. A lot of the time, this is a major issue and is often overlooked. If you use WiFi as your primary network, it has to be en0. Open System Profiler, click Ethernet or Wifi, depending on how you receive your internet, and make sure the network is listed as en0. If not, delete NetworkInterfaces.plist and Preferences.plist in /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration. In many cases, this is unnecessary.

Open System Profiler in Spotlight In my case, I use a WiFi adapter. I have en0, so I don't have to make any changes , but if you have en1, continue.

Open a Finder window and press ⌘ + Shift + G. Then type /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration

Delete NetworkInterfaces.plist and preferences.plist, then reboot! How To Get iMessage Working on Yosemite and El Capitan

Since I have a Haswell i5 processor, the Mac closet to mine would be the iMac 14,2.
