Getting Truphone to work with Google Talk to make a free call

I'm trying to make a free call from my iPhone to my home computer using Truphone.
I installed Truphone on my iPhone and I have a Google Talk account on my Mac using Jabber in iChat. I'm trying to get the two the communicate with each other to make a phone call. Truphone requires me to call Google Talk using this number/code: [email protected] to invite it to engage in a phone call with the iPhone. Once the invite is accepted, then it will work - it says. Problem is that i cannot add this letters ([email protected]) on my iPhone to the mobile number field, only numbers. I am able to do it on my Mac and sync it to my iPhone, but for some reason the @ symbol gets dropped out of it and it won't work otherwise.
Has anyone had this same issue and was able to get it to work? Or...has anyone been able to get Truphone to be able to call their Mac using wifi to make a free call?

I sent a question to Truphone regarding this issue and this was their response. Bummer.
Dear K D,
Unfortunately it is not currently possible to dial SIP addresses
([email protected]) using the Truphone iPhone client. This includes calling
Google Talk addresses.
The Truphone service for the iPhone is an outbound calling solution. When
you're connected to Truphone you're able to make cheap Truphone calls over the
Internet. Please note that inbound calls will be received via your mobile/cell
network and not via Truphone.
New Truphone accounts for the iPhone won’t be assigned a separate Truphone
number. Instead your outgoing caller id will be presented as your
mobile/cellular number that you entered during the installation process.
Calls to other Truphone users who are using Nokia devices are free when both
parties are online.
If you have any further queries please reply to this email for assistance.
Regards,
The Truphone Support Team

Ichat not communicating with google talk

My iChat suddenly stopped working with google talk with a message stating that "iChat can't communicate with the Jabber Account [email protected]: could not communicate to host xmpp.l.google.com". I have tried to delete my google acct and add it back in but with little success. Other things I have tried are changing the server settings, clicking the SSL box on and off, restarting my mac, and turning my Wifi off and on. I tried to open up the Jabber Account on my roommate's computer and it worked fine. It is unusual as my Jabber Account was working fine yesterday and then it suddenly stopped working. Please help!
Thank you!

While we all have MacBooks in this forum not all of us use iChat. There's an iChat Support Community where everybody uses iChat. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

No Video With Google Talk on Droid 3

Just got my wife the new Droid 3 that's running Android 2.3.4. This is the version of Android that is supposed to support video with Google Talk. Tried starting Talk and only thing I can do is messaging with Talk. No video option like on my Thrive tablet.
What's the Deal Google?Verizon/Motorola?

I know how software works and how companies have a habit of delivering products before they are ready, i.e. "get the device approved for software that is loaded on a device".
Based on what I found on the Motorola frequently asked questions page, see below, It appears that Motorola tried but right now it's in Google's & Verizon's court. Because of Google's urge to keep their products a step ahead of their competitors, I'd be surprised if it was them holding up approval.
Google Talk video chat
DROID 3 by Motorola will not support Google Talk videochat at the time of market launch. We are excited about the potential of videochat to enrich the Motorola smartphone experience, and we are working actively with Google and Verizon Wireless to enable this feature as soon as possible.
While we do not endorse or guarantee these solutions, or provide support for them, some owners have reported success using a 3rd party Android Application like "Tango". You can search the Android Market for 3rd party applications that are available that will enable you to video chat.

While working with Google Documents Safari Version 7.1 on OS X 10.9.4 crahses all the time

While working with Google Documents Safari Version 7.1 on OS X 10.9.4 crahses all the time
Now I am working with FireFox
Today I have noticed that FireFox had this Google Talk pop-up
Maybe this pop-up Google Talk is what is causing Safari 7.1 to crash Attached JING of Google Talk pop-up on FireFox
So, back to SAFARI 7.1..how to stop this pop-up from crashing Safari 7.1

You downloaded a beta copy of 7.1 because the current version is 7.0.5. There was a mixup yesterday and 7.1 was accidentally made available for downloading. Do you have a backup you can restore from to get 7.0.5?
You can also try running the combo update to see if it will restore it.

Ichat can't communicate with google talk account

hey there, I keep getting the following error from my ichat; "Ichat can't communicate with google talk account Gmail." Not sure why I am getting this. My ichat has worked fine in the past. Anyone have any idea what's going on? I've already gone into settings and deleted the ichat account and re-installed it. that didn't work...
please and thank you!

HI,
Did you change the password at Google and forget to do it in iChat ?
Is Talk still Enabled at your Google Account Settings ?
In re-adding the account you ar using the "right" ending (@gmail.com or @googlemail.com) ?
Try deleting com.apple.ichat.Jabber.com
You will need to do this in the Finder
Use the Go Menu.
Hold th ALT key and select th Library
Open Preferences
Find the .plist and Drag to Trash
Restart iChat.

Since installing the latest FF version 14.0.1 the search boxes on the home page don't work with google

The normal google page works fine, but the search boxes on the home page (below firefox logo and the one top RH corner) just go nowhere unless you change the search provider using the dropdown, to yahoo or bing etc, in whcih case it searches fine - just won't work with google, which I prefer to use. I have an older version 3.6.13 on another desktop and that still works fine.
Any ideas team?

golden-grace, to answer some of your questions:
* Firefox 3.6 is no longer supported and will no longer be updated for security vulnerabilities or any other updates.
*On resetting '''browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone''': It's normal for the "welcome to Firefox" tab to open and for that preference to revert back to user-set and show Firefox 14.0.1 afterwards.
*On deleting the chromeappsstore.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder and then resetting that preference again: You can open the Profile folder from the Firefox Help -> Troubleshooting Information page. See the [[Profiles]] article for more information.
* On installing new search engines from http://mycroft.mozdev.org that simply adds new search providers to the [[Search Bar|Search Bar]]. It does not install a new search bar. You will still have a single Search Bar and the "normal" Google will still be listed.
Getting back to Google not working from the about:home homepage or from the upper right corner search box, you said,
''the page tab changes to "connecting" and the little circle starts revolving, just as though it is looking for the page as normal and at the bottom of the home page the message appears "waiting for www.google.com"''. You also said in your original post that, ''The normal google page works fine.'' Which normal google page is that?
If you can go to www.google.com directly, and it works fine:
I would try removing Google from the list of search providers and then use the "Restore Defaults" button in the Search Bar "Manage Search Engine List" dialog to add it back to the list, then select it again as your default. The [[Search Bar|Search Bar]] article explains in detail how to do that. (Alternately, try the [https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/ Search Reset] add-on. This should also add back Google and set it as the default.)
If you try going to www.google.com but it never connects, that's a whole other issue. Putting that aside for now, if you would rather use google.co.uk from the Search Bar, you can install it <u>as an additional choice from the Search Bar drop-down menu</u>, by going here:
* http://mycroft.mozdev.org/google-search-plugins.html ... where it's listed as '''''Google UK - the Web (google.co.uk) by Mycroft Project'''''. (You will still have a single Search Bar and the "normal" Google will still be listed.)
If you try going to www.google.com but it never connects, you could troubleshoot that by following the [[Basic Troubleshooting]] article (I would start with clearing cookies and cache) but all of these steps may be frustrating for you. Another option is to simply reset Firefox (which saves your bookmarks, passwords, and some other essential data) to see if that resolves the problem. You can do that from the Firefox Help -> [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/provide-detailed-information-for-firfox-issues#w_accessing-the-troubleshooting-information-page Troubleshooting Information page]. For details, read the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article. You can then go to http://mycroft.mozdev.org/google-search-plugins.html and select your preferred Google search engine to use from the Search Bar.

How does GPS work with Google Maps?

So far I always use GPS with Google Maps and do not understand other usage. I find it is very useful for some places where I do not know exactly where it is. I do not really know how it is working. I learnt that the built-in GPS receiver must be working in an opening field - seeing the sky. I find it works in shopping malls, offices, cars, etc. where they cannot see the sky. I got the answers from my friends that A-GPS, cellular network and internet are replaced with GPS to provide the location or search your target if the location cannot see sky. It sounds the GPS is not much useful as more than 50% of actual usage without seeing the sky. Can someone shed some light on to me how my iPhone 4 is working with Google Maps in real life.

It starts by getting a quick rough estimation of your location using nearby cell towers or WiFi hotspots (if WiFi is on). Then it gradually pinpoints your location to a greater degree of accuracy as the various GPS satellites register your location.
Obviously, no GPS system can work if the device cannot "see" the satellites well. That's governed by the laws of physics, which is why the iPhone also uses cell towers and WiFi hotspots to assist.

Based on what you've posted, your computer does not have the right tuner. You need a QAM tuner to record locals from FiOS, or a CableCard tuner to record all local and cable channels from FiOS.
QAM tuners to record local channels only
This requires Windows Vista or Windows 7
Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-2250
SiliconDust HDHomeRun (info on a sale)
CableCard tuner to record local and cable channels
This requires Windows 7 + one CableCard from Verizon for $3.99/mo
ATI TV Wonder Digital PC CableCard Tuner (records one channel at a time) -- $200-$250 on ebay
Ceton MOCUR tuner (records four channels at a time) -- coming in early 2010 for $400-$600
Make sure your computer has Windows 7 Home Premium (or better) installed. That's necessary to support CableCard tuners.

I need help with ISIGHT! I can't get it to work with MSN!

HI,
My issue is this... I have AIM/AOL and I am able to see myself on webcam.. however noone else can unless they HAVE a webcam... My first question is- "DO you have to have a WEBCAM on both ends for both people to see you?" Does the person I am chatting with HAVE to have a webcam to see me? If so WHY? They should atleast be able to see ME if I want them to... Also if they are using windows for PC platform... can they use a pc webcam and still connect with me through my isight although I am on a mac?
My second major ISSUE is.. WHY is the isight only compatible with AOL/AIM? I was told when I bought this it would be compatible with MSN Messenger for windows AND the MAC version... I have both and the isight does not show up on it... CAN ISIGHT be connected to msn messenger for MAC??? PLEASE help me!
I called APPLE tech support and they couldn't even help me! They told me to call Microsoft! Anyhow- one guy did say he was able to get his ISIGHT working with the MSN messenger for MAC platform.. do you have ANY idea how to do that?? The thing is ALL my freinds are on PC's and have MSN messenger..
ALSO- someone on mac rumors told me to look for a guy names RALPH! Said you know A LOT about mac and pc compatibility! PLEASE HELP
Bottom line - I want to use isight with msn so my msn pc friends can share webcam... I also have virtual pc software... is it easier to just get a pc webcam and do it through there? ( i tried that and it didn't work either) i need major TECH SUPPORT!
THANK YOU

Microsoft's Messenger for Mac (MSN) does not support webcams at all.
I have found the best alternative to MSN to be aMSN with macam for the webcam driver (it is a cheap usb webcam). Both are free open source projects. I guess if you use an iSight you will not need macam.
aMSN can be found here: http://amsn.sourceforge.net/
macam can be found here: http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/
The speed is substantially faster and it is far more stable than Mercury in my experience.
The only difficulty is the camera is often shown as being "in use by another application". To counter this I start macam, then plug in the camera (or unplug and plug back in). Then I start aMSN.

I have a Mac Mini and I can't get it to work with my Ricoh Aficio MP 161. Any ideas?

The latest Apple driver support begins with the MP 171.
Here is Ricoh's official driver download page specifically for the Afico MP 161. Note that new drivers for this device were released on Aug 2, and include Lion and Mountain Lion.
Hopefully, this will solve your device issues.

My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes. I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes. There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE. How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

My iPod Classic is seen by Windows but not by iTunes. I have reset it, gone to disk mode and it won't show up in iTunes. There appears to be music on it in a file called MUSICSAVE. How can I get this to work with iTunes again?

1. Update iTunes to the latest version. Plug in your iPod. If iTunes still can't recognize it, then in iTunes in the top left corner click help> run diagnostics. On the box that comes up, check the last two things. Click next and it should identify your iPod.
2. Click on your windows start menu. Type in "services". Click on it and when it pops up, on the bottom of it click on "standard". Now Scroll down to find "Apple Mobile Device" Right click it when you see it and click on "Start". When it has started, close iTunes and replug in your iPod and it should show up.
3. Check the USB cable
4 Verify that Apple Mobile Device Support is installed
5. Restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and verify that the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver is installed.
6. If you just want to add some photos, songs and movies from computer to your devices, you can use an iTunes alternative to do the job
7. Check for third-party software conflicts.
