Google Chat on iChat (non gmail Google account).

Hi,
I've been trying to sign into Google Talk via iChat but it keeps rejecting the username/password. I can sign in using the Google chat web client with this ID, as well as all the other Google services associated with the account. I'm now on Lion but it was also an issue on Snow Leopard.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?
David

Hi,
My understanding is that when you go to a Google Page you can sign in top right.
Once your Name displays then you can click and hold that to see the Account Setting option.
That will lead you to a page like this
In there "Talk" should be in the My Products Section for the Chat option to work.
If iGoogle is in that section you can go to that page (your iGoogle page) and Chat should load down the left hand side.  (or the view I have set up places it there)
iChat should be set up as follows:-
iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts
Choose the Plus button at the bottom of the list.
In the pane that opens select the top item then choose Jabber as the account type.
Enter the name as it is for logging into Google.
Enter the password you use there.
Now if you have iChat 5 (And I presume iChat 6) you can then enter the Server name in the bits below the Password box
This should be made to read google.com
Click Done.
If this is iChat 4.x.x then you will not be able to change the server there
As the Account will presume the server name is the end of your Email address this will appear in the server Setting tab  (As well as the message about Logging in not woring)
Open the server settings tab and change the server name to google.com
This obviously works as an alternative to the iChat 5 method above.
This Help Page seems to say that a "Google account" will work but also has a Note to say a Gmail account is needed to use GoogleTalk.
I have certainly seen people post here to say that they have Non Gmail Google Account and have Enabled talk and then added it to iChat.  (AS described above)

  • How do I archive IMAP messages with non Gmail/iCloud account on iOS Mail.app?

    This may seem like a simple question, however I don't seem to be able to work this one out for myself. I hope you guys/girls can help!
    I have my IMAP email account setup on my iPhone (own domain name, DBmail IMAP mail server running on VPS). Email works great; I can send/receive, delete, move messages no problem.
    When I used MobileMe, Gmail or iCloud, I was given the option to "Archive mail" in the account configuration for that mail account in Settings.app. However, with a simple IMAP account, even though I have an "Archive" folder in my IMAP mailbox, which shows up with a suitable 'Archive-like' icon in Mail.app on my iPhone, I am not given the option to "Archive mail" - i.e. move a message from 'Inbox' to 'Archive' by touching the Archive button - Instead, I just get the delete button, which just moves messages to my 'Trash' folder in my mailbox.
    Up to now, I've just put this down to Mail.app on iOS lacking this functionality. After upgrading to iOS 6 this morning (which I hoped would bring this functionality) I'm starting to question whether there's a setting or a workaround that I've missed that provides this functionality. I'm not sure I understand why Mail.app on my MAC allows me to Archive mail for my simple IMAP account, but my iOS devices won't.
    Does anyone know of a way to get a simple IMAP account setup in Mail.app on iOS to 'Archive' mail, as opposed to delete? Please chime in if you have any suggestions.
    Joe

    I know this is old but it's google #1 for the relevant search and it took me a while
    Settings -> mail, contacts, calendars -> pick the imap account -> advanced 
    Move discarded emails to:
    Pick the 'archive' option
    I have no idea why, must be apple logic, but with delete being the default that's all you can do, when archive is the selection it replaces the deleted button but you can hold it down to get a delete/trash option also.

  • How can I add a Google account not connected to a GMail account to Messages in OSX Mountain Lion?

    With iGoogle going offline soon, and being myself averse to using Google+ for social networking due to what I perceive as a blatant disregard for my privacy, I'm trying to save my few Gchat contacts, as I don't have many other ways to contact these specific people. However, I'm having trouble connecting my Gchat (or Google Talk if you prefer the term) to Messages. It doesn't recognize that my google account is tied to a verizon email address, not a gmail address, and refuses to acknowledge my password as correct (even though I typed it correctly at least five times trying).
    I haven't seen anyone else having this problem, and I'd prefer to call customer support about this, but this seems to be the next best option.

    Hi,
    iChat and Messages (and for that matter any other Jabber capable App) will not accept non Google Mail Google IDs as Google Talk IDs
    When Google launched Google Talk it was only for those IDs issued under @googlemail.com or @gmail.com that were eligible.
    Later they allowed other Google IDs to Chat but only from Web Browser Logins.
    There was a period when they did seem to expand the non Googlemail IDs into the GoogleTalk fold for external apps to also allow access but this was dropped after a while.

  • Use Google Account in iChat ?

    I have signed up to a Google account (don't mix this up with Gmail account) using my .me.com email which i would like to use in Google Talk, i can signin using my web broswer and accept friends as well as chat.
    I am trying to add this to iChat and tried a number of times it does not let me sign in when i add the account via iChat. The eaisest thing is possibly just to sign up to a Gmail account but we all know what Gmails availablilty is like and that means signing up to an account something like [email protected] I would like to use on email for everything and I've spent hours scrolling through web forums to try and find the answer. I am thinking there must be a way as in Google's blog it did say that google talk is now availble to non Gmail users.
    I have also tried signing in to iChat with an old Gmail account and it works no problems....
    So my question is it possble to use iChat using a Google Account that i created using my me.com email address?
    Really noping someone can provide me the answer

    Hi,
    People that have
    [email protected]
    as their Buddy name are likely to be runniing a Jabber server.
    iChat can join the AIM Service with valid AIM Screen Names.
    These can come from a variety of sources:-
    AIM  (In fact any Company that AOL owned that offered an Name at one stage, such as Netscape, Compuserve 2000 AOL and AIM itself)
    Apple IDs ending in either @mac.com or @me.com  (Passwords need to be 16 characters of less.  Later iCloud issued @me.com names only work in iChat 6 or later )
    Email IDs from ISPs that have an agreement with AIM like Apple do.
    Note:  You can actually register any other email at AIM - and use an @googlemail.com name if you wished  (or a Hotmail one and so on).
    Jabber Service Names come from  server.
    Lets take Jabber Australia as an Example.
    You register a Name (simplyliam) and you become [email protected]
    There are many Public Jabber servers as you can see in this List
    Essentailly you become the [email protected]
    Both Facebook and Google run a Jabber server.  Both need you to enable Talk or Chat in your account settings in each site.
    Note:  Google only do this Publically for their Mail Account names  (i.e the names can be used in other apps like iChat/Messages)
    Google also do not stick to the naming format  (their server name is talk.google.com) which is why it is a separate entry in iChat.
    You can add Buddies that are AIM valid to an AIM valid Buddy List.
    You can add Buddies that are valid over Jabber to the Jabber/Google/Facebook name List.
    Although the naming formats for both include email looking IDs and will therefore be accepted in a List the Buddy will always look Off lline.
    NOTE:  I have seen cases where people have registered their GoogleMail ID was an AIM Name and they appear as AIM Buddies  (I have also seen Hotmail email names registered the same way even though they are also MSN names).
    It is so long ago that I set up my Google mail account I am not sure what email I may have used as a secondary contact address or Confirmation email address.
    (EDIT:- I looked it up and it was a dial-up account I had before that).
    As I said before, at one time you could add other types of Google account by entering them as a plain Jabber Account and then changing the server name in the iChat > Preferences > Accounts > Server settings tab to google.com
    This has not worked for about a year.
    So there is no way to Login to GoogleTalk without it being a GoogleMail name (No matter what ID was used to create it.)
    There is also no way to have the @me.com name appear instead of the Google name. (well, unless you typed in that your first name was simplyliam and your last name was @me.com when you set the account up).
    Whist a Google Name of any sort that looks like an email ID can be registered at AIM as a Screen Name it will mean that the name is an AIM Name and still would not be able to directly contact Jabber/Google/Facebook Buddies in iChat.
    I have tried to show with examples that what you wnat is not possible.
    However the broad way AIM allow other Email IDs to be used /registered as AIM valid names can supply a sort of work around in one direction (getting everyone on AIM) it does not work in ther direction you seem to want it (Somehow to use either a Non Googlemail Name or a AIM name over Google/Jabber).
    Although this may not be the answer you wanted I hope I have been clear enough.

  • Firefox 3.6.13 won't log onto gmail or google accounts, plus issues with hotmail

    Running 3.6.13 on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. Since 3.6.12, I've had hit-or-miss issues being able to log onto my gmail (no, not a password issue). When I tried loading gmail (either through the unsecure or the https version), the connection would often time out, with Firefox telling me the connection was interrupted and/or had been reset. Hotmail would load, but if I selected multiple messages to move or delete, it wouldn't work, and a notice would pop onto my hotmail session, saying that I wasn't connected to the internet.
    So I tried Chrome, and the gmail issue wasn't a problem in Chrome. But, sure enough, the Hotmail thing was still an issue in Chrome.
    After running through all the suggestions I could find here and elsewhere--including deleting cookies, cache, etc., and creating a new profile, and running in safe mode, and moving to Firefox 4 beta (same issue as 3.6.x), and a total uninstall & reinstall of Firefox--nothing worked. In fact, after upgrading to 3.6.13, gmail wouldn't load at all. I couldn't even log on to any aspect of my google accounts--so, no docs, no calendar, etc.
    So I started over, with a system wipe & reinstall of the OS. After initial install of Firefox, it *seemed* to have solved the problem. But soon after--and this was before adding any customizations other than Adblock Plus (which I have disabled on any google domain)--the problem returned. I ran through the troubleshooting again (e.g., deleting cache, cookies, creating new profile, etc.). No luck. Then I realized the culprit might be... JAVA!
    Uninstalled java, and lo! and behold, gmail loaded. But hotmail still was problematic. And gmail was still hit-and-miss, and loading slowly when it did work.
    So I went to my work computer, which is also running Win 7 Pro 64-bit, and copied all my Firefox files (install directory, profile, etc.) over to my home computer. Y'see, my work computer--despite having all the same settings and software--has no problem with gmail or hotmail. Well, those same settings applied to my home computer still were problematic. And no, it's nothing to do with my home network setup--which hasn't changed since before I started having these issues, anyway.
    So I did a complete uninstall of Java on my home system, and voila! Gmail works, doesn't take a whole lot of time to load (though it's still sluggish compared to my work computer). Hotmail is still buggy, but hey--it's hotmail.
    Unfortunately, when I then installed OpenOffice, Java was re-installed (and I'm not sure how essential having a standalone java install is for OpenOffice, so I'm holding off on any uninstall) and now I'm back to hit-and-miss gmail.
    Long story short, there is something in java (and I've tried version 21, 22, and 23) that is messing up Firefox when it comes to gmail, google accounts, and hotmail. Chrome is not affected by this in gmail or google accounts, but has issues in hotmail. IE8 isn't affected in google or hotmail.
    I hate IE8, and I'm not sold on Chrome. Don't drive me away, Firefox.
    Prior to my OS wipe & reinstall, other sites that use java--primarily for file uploading, like flickr & photo finishing businesses--were not working with Firefox 3.6.13 or Firefox 4 beta.
    Again, clearing cache, clearing cookies, creating a new profile, running in safe mode, uninstalling any individual and/or all add-ons and extensions... none of these was the answer to this problem. Even a fresh OS install didn't quite fix it. Java seems to be implicated in the problem, and I'll be posting this issue over at Oracle's forums, too.
    Other computers I have on my home network are affected by this issue, as well, but not all of them, and not to the same degree.

    I also have this problem and it just started in the last week or so. It seems to be dependent on my home network and the problem only exists with firefox. I have used chrome and IE8 with no issues. I can verify tomorrow that it only exists in my network but one thing I was able to test is that the problem exists even on my linux boot. I am totally dumbfounded with this problem and I can't find anything that will allow the gmail page to load. All other pages I have tried load fine, all be it a little slower than normal but they load. If anyone knows of a difference between firefox and all other browsers on how it goes through the router I would appreciate the info cause I don't know of any differences.

  • Communicating between iMessage and iChat with Google accounts?

    I am using iMessages and my wife is using iChat.  She signed into iChat using her Google account.  When I try to message her, it says that her account is not registered with iMessages.  Why can't I send her a message?

    HI,
    iChat can use AIM accounts, Jabber or Yahoo in iChat 6 as well as the Bonjour option.
    You cannot chat Jabber to AIM  or Yahoo to Jabber or even Bonjour to any of the others.
    It is AIM to AIM or Jabber to Jabber.
    In Messages as well as AIM, Bonjour, Jabber and Yahoo you have the ability to run an iMessages Account
    The iMessages account can send Text messages only to Apple IDs and iPhone Numbers on Apple iOS devices and those using an iMessage Account in Messages.
    A GoogleMail (GoogleTalk) ID will not be an iMessages account is used in iChat.
    That is not to say the Google Mail ID is not an Apple ID and may be used as such on an iPhone or iPad.
    You cannot iMessages any of the other services.
    You need to get an Google Mail ID, Enable Talk on the Google Settings and then enter it as an Account in Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts > Click the + icon lower left and Change the top items drop down to GoogleTalk.

  • Notes can't connect to Google Apps (not GMail!) account

    Hi,
    So I did it again! Looking in the "Mail, contacts & calendars" panel in the system preferences, I noticed that my work Google App account (my work uses Google servers to host its email) was split into two accounts, which were overlapping (both had emails ticked). So I deleted one of them, it this is when the nightmare started: each time I try to tick Notes, I get the following error message:
    "There was a problem setting up the account. Mail couldn't discover the account settings for the Mail server “myworkdomaim.com”.
    So I deleted this account too, recreated a new account in the system pref. using GMAIL as a template. When doing so, The same error message appears, except that it takes me to Mail where I am given the possibility to enter the right settings (in that case imap.google.com as imap server). However, these changes are never reflected in the Notes app. Each time I try to tick the "Notes" box in the "Mail, contacts & calendars", I get the same error.
    Of course I have tried to setup a generic account instead of a GMail one: same problem. I am taken to Mail and as soon as I input the google servers in the settings, OS X detects a GMail account and I am back to square one (or rather zero in this case).
    I have spent two hours trying to hack the bloody thing, but I simply no longer can find the plist file where the accounts are stored. Thanks to sandboxing! Brilliant!
    Anyone has an idea on how to get Notes on Google Apps to work? That would be a life saver!
    Cheers!

    I had the same problem -- error when trying to click the notes sync checkbox in notes/accounts for my gmail accounts (GMail and Google Apps)
    What fixed it:
    I noticed in my MESSAGES > PREFERENCES > ACCOUNTS I had a Jabber account in there for at least one of my Google accounts. I deleted it (don't use it).
    Went back to the NOTES accounts and the checkbox worked to sync notes with all my Google accounts, GMail and Apps.
    BAM! Don't know if it was just my system, but I hope this helps someone.

    I'm using iChat 4.0.7

    Hi,
    I had not heard that the GoogleTalk server would allow different ports.
    I was trying to make sure you had the "Right" one with the "right" server.
    If it works though.
    AS to the Name displayed.
    This is a sort of threefold thing.
    iChat first.
    At the to of the Buddy list it will show either your "Real Name" as it is in the Address Book at the My Card (Head and Shoulders icon) or the Screen Name you are using (this will be all lower case and No spaces).
    When you set up a New Screen Name at AIM on this page you will see that you can set a Display Name.
    A Display Name is only seen by your Buddies.
    iChat can see Display Names so will show spaces and Upper Case characters if they are used.
    On the top right of that same page you can Log in to the AIM Web Pages
    Once there you can use something like the Edit Password option to access your Account setting and set a Display Name

  • ALERT: Google account sync broken on webOS devices (and a fix)

    MUST READING FOR webOS USERS WHO SYNC CONTACTS WITH GOOGLE ACCOUNTS:
    Earlier this week I began having trouble with my Pre3.  It spontaneously restarted and pretty much wiped everything.  After logging back in to my webOS account, I then began having trouble logging in to my several Google accounts.  Each time, I got either an "unknown error" message or a message that my credentials were incorrect.
    A very clever webOS developer (consider throwing him some bones if you use his patch...see below) figured out that Google changes to https (whatever that means) were the culprit.  I don't understand enough of the jargon to explain it, but the issue seems to effect Google accounts (primarily contacts) which are newly added to a device or re-added after a reset or doctoring your device, more so than accounts that are already on your device.
    However, even if your existing gmail and calendar accounts still sync, you are strongly advised to check...Google contact sync is probably broken and you might not realize it.  In this condition, contacts which are newly added directly on device will not sync to google servers for backup and syncing with other devices you might have, unless you install the patch below.
    I can vouch for that.  I had added several new contacts directly on the phone during the past week, but after this week's fun & games, I found that none of the newly added contacts had ever synced to my online Google contacts, which means they didn't sync back down from google's servers onto my other devices.
    SO...GO HERE NOW:  The patch which is discussed in this linked article on webOS Nation has definitely fixed the sync problem on my Pre3.  It requires the use of webOS Quick Install.    While you're at it, install Preware using webOS Quick Install, and expand the usability and speed of your webOS device. Then install a Preware app called Internlz Pro which is installed with Preware.  Then you email the patch to yourself, click on the attachment, and Internalz Pro installs directly without having to connect to your computer.  
    Please post back in this thread if this issue has effected your phone or tablet, and if you have any problems installing the patch.  I haven't used webOS Quick Install in a long time so I had to figure it out from scratch.  I install from a MacBook and it works just fine.  There is also an on-device option called Internlz Pro which is installed with Preware directly on the phone...you email the ptch to yourself and Internalz Pro will install it.  
    HP/Palm had given its support to the webOS Homebrew Community, so let's use this information here to keep these devices healthy.  You will find much more detailed informatio in the forum linked above where the patch is located, and how to get webOS Quick Install and PreWare downloads.
    I'll also use this experience as a plug for PreWare and the really selfless developers who support our favorite OS and catch stuff like this when it happens, and turn around a patch in a day or two so that the community can benefit..  There are tons of improvements just waiting there for your webOS devices.  Tweaks.  Patches.  Enhancements of all sorts to make your webOS device run faster and jump higher.  All free, robust, and ready to keep webOS cool and relevant for many more years, for a lot of users.
    No particular skills or knowledge are needed to take advantage of PreWare.  The directions are very simple.  You already have the hardware.  This experience shows me that the webOS homebrew community still has some dedicated and pretty darned skilled developers at work for the sheer joy and pride (and a few $$ should someone toss them a few) of keeping their...our...beloved webOS alive.

  • Google account login issues

    I am recieving the error unknown error when trying to add my google account to the touchpad. I can login fine through the browser but am unable to add it to email, chat, etc...
    Troubleshooting I've done:
    1) Waited a couple days and tried again, same issue.
    2) Tried with a secondary google account i have, this one logged in fine.
    3) Changed secondary account to have same password as the primary one that is receiving the error. Unknown Error received.
    4) Changed secondary account to use various combinations of special characters from the primary account. Received error a couple times. It would appear that using a ~ in combination with ( or even )  whether there are characters in between the two, causes the account to give an unknown error. I didn't try every key combination with the tilde, but at the least the 2 above do not work.
    Post relates to: HP TouchPad (WiFi)

    Gmail account issues are discussed in this very recent thread.  You will have to install a patch written by a homebrew developer to get Gmail accounts to sync properly.
    AOL account sync has also been discussed here, have you tried the Search function?  My AIM messaging account works fine, but I don't use AOL anything else.

  • Can't connect to ichat via gmail account

    Hi!
    I can't connect to ichat via gmail account.I created a new account via Preferences window in ichat settings but still can't do it. A pop-up window is shown and it asks to enter a password as ichat cannot log in on my gmail account.I know that i enter a correct password.  has anubody such a problem? how can i find out if it is a problem with the password, or my account name.

    Hi,
