Getting error that my "login ID or password is incorrect"

I'm trying to log into google talk account via Jabber. Was working before until I think when I updated my software recently. Now I keep getting a message titled "gmail.com Login" which says "iChat can't log in to gmail.com because your login ID or password is incorrect."
My login ID and Jabber ID is my [email protected] (which is what shows up when I log into gmail) and I'm using my gmail password.
I've followed all the instructions:
Server = talk.google.com
Port = 5223, use SSL is checked
"Automatically find server and port" and "Warn before sending password insecurely" are checked
However, after I try to login and get the above error, when I go back to Preferences, my server settings change to:
Server: gmail.com
Port: 5222
And SSL gets unchecked
Firewall is off
Have tried logging out of my google account online - didn't work
Sorry if this has been posted about already, but I haven't been able to find a solution from the posts yet.
I'm running Mac OS X (10.6.2) and ichat version 5.0.1 (743)

Hi,
Welcome to the  Discussions
The server name you are entering is the correct one.
I currently have my GoogleMail ID logged in on port 443 and have SSL ticked but AutoDiscover Server and Port Off.
(I tired turning On Auto Discover and Logged in again and the port did not change)
It sounds as if you added the Google ID as a Jabber one and that iChat 5 thinks it should be the end of your Screen Name as server. (I have not tried this is Leopard or Snow Leopard but it may prevent you adding any other jabber name to login to the Google Server).
However this was an error in iChat 3 where there was no separate option for GoogleTalk and the software tried to add the Server Name as the Suffix of the Jabber ID (hence the Google Info on this being Tiger/iChat 3 based)
You may need to Delete the Account and start again.

TS2755 Hi, I have been unable to activate my message and FaceTime. Each time I try, I get an error message saying my username or password is incorrect. But that is the same apple id I use in the App Store, and for my iCloud. What could be wrong?

Never rely upon the iTunes Store to always have your purchases. Always keep a copy of everything safe on a backup drive at home.

Try Restarting / rebooting your Mac before doing anything more drastic..

HT204053 I changed my AppleID in System Preferences, but the old ID comes up under iCloud and I get an error box saying my "ID or password are incorrect". How do I get rid of the old ID which now doesn't work with either my old or new password??

Yes that makes sense, however have you updated it at My Apple ID before trying to change it in your system preferences > iCloud settings, you must do that first.

Adobe reader (11.3.2) PDF's on ipad and getting error that the file is corrupt!!

i have the latest Adobe reader from the app store (11.3.2) however i am struggling to open PDF's on ipad and getting error that the file is corrupt!!
any help or suggestions welcome

Would you describe how you transferred the PDF file to your iPad and iPhone? Did you send it as an email attachment and open it on your iPad and iPhone?
The file may have been corrupted by Apple Mail, which is a known problem. Please see Problem #1 in the FAQ document How to avoid known PDF email attachment problems.
Would you try some experiments so that we can troubleshoot the problem? During the experiments, please use cloud storage (e.g. Acrobat.com, Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.) and avoid sending the PDF file as an email attachment.
Rename the corrupted/damaged PDF file on your iPad. For example, add "_damaged.pdf" to the file name.
Upload the corrupted/damaged PDF file to the cloud storage of your choice.
Download the corrupted/damaged PDF file from the cloud storage to your Windows or Mac desktop computer.
Open it in the desktop version of Adobe Reader XI for Windows or Mac.
Does Adobe Reader XI on your desktop computer display an error message?
Upload the (good) PDF file on your iPhone to the cloud storage.
Download the (good) PDF file from the cloud storage to your iPad.
Open it in Adobe Reader on your iPad.
Does Adobe Reader on your iPad display an error message?
We can investigate further based on what you will find.
Thank you for your help.

Not all car systems are compatible with the iPod touch. Does the documentation/website for the car system say it is compatible with an iPod with iOS 5?

Hi, I have a PPC Running OSX 10.5.4 and I want to delete the User "Guest"and "Shared"Folders on my HD, they won't let me change the permissions and I keep getting errors that say the permissions should be 0 and are 501 and having files i can't delete that go on and on ad infinitum... I think it's a virus or a corruption? Can anyone tell me or help me and let me know what I'm dealing with here or wether I'm mistaken and should leave it alone?
I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
Matt

Why do you want to delete those? What have you done so far to do that?
I doubt that Mac has a virus. On the other hand, your attempts to deleted those folders may have caused corruption.
Two other comments:
1) Is there a reason that Mac hasn't been updated to OS X 10.5.8?
2) You've been misled by the poor field labeling on this Web site into trying to type your entire post into the "subject" field. In the future, just put a short summary of your post into that field.

When checking email I now get an error message saying User name or password is incorrect...

When checking email I now get an error message saying User name or password is incorrect... Went to AT&T store and they didn't have a clue how to fix it...
I'm sure this question has been asked, but can someone point me in the right direction?

I am also having the same problem and I did go on my computer and change the password and my iPad still gives error message. Yes wish someone could help.

Why do I sometimes get a pop up that says I cannot get mail because my user name or password are incorrect. But they are correct.

Sometimes when I am not at home and I Am trying to get my email I get a pop up that says "cannot get mail because user I'd or password is incorrect". But they are entered correctly.

My Gmail account did the same to me, I had just downloaded pictures from my camera memory card and thought it had something to do with it. My son said his Gmail has done this to him off and on for three years. He said he just leaves it and comes back a hour or more later and it works fine. I tried to change my password and got my whole Gmail account snarled up in a big fur ball!! It took two weeks to get it all straightened out. I will try leaving it alone next time or just start a new account. Good Luck

Try running the combo update.

If that works and it still shows as an update, try re-indexing Spotlight.
