Google Talk not working with Messages after upgrade to Mountain Lion

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I'm no longer able to use Google Talk with the new Messages App.  It worked fine on iChat, but now I cannot enable the account.  When I try to check the enable box, it immediately unchecks itself and nothing happens.  Any suggestions?

  • Google Talk not working with Messages

    I have added the google Talk account in the messages application. But only the jabber account shows in the main window, which was there by default. Am I adding the account properly. Should Messages work like the Windows Google Talk application ?

    HI,
    This is somewhat a hangover from the iChat days.
    In Messages > Preferences > Accounts  is the GoogleTalk account listed as  Gmail item ?
    IF you highlight it and go to "Server Settings" is the server talk.google.com ?
    Now go to the Window Menu
    Select the Buddies item (you probably still have a combined list)
    The Buddy List should now appear.
    GO to the Preferences > General section and untick the item about gathering Buddy list into one list
    You may now have more than one Buddy list
    Instead of being called "Buddies" it will take on the name of the Account ....
    The exceptions to this are:-
    Generic AIM Logins will be Called AIM Buddy List if there is only one
    Generic Jabber Logins will lbe listed as "Jabber" Buddy list if there is only one Jabber list
    (you can also have Yahoo and Bonjour)
    IF in the Preferences > Accounts you add details to the Description Line  then the Buddy List gets called this
    IF you don't name or Describe the accounts and have more than one (Jabber and /or AIM) then they get named with the Screen Name or ID.
    Account and Buddy list "Named"
    This now carries over to the text entry field/box in the main Messages Window where the ID or Screen Name you will be chatting from is listed in that Text field.
    IF you only have one Jabber Account And Googletalk is a Jabber account it will read "Jabber" unless you have more Jabber accounts or add a Description

  • ITunes doesn't sync iCal with iPhone after upgraded to Mountain Lion

    iTunes doesn't sync iCal with iPhone after upgraded to Mountain Lion. I even tried to use Replace Information On This iPhone and it doesn't work. Any idea guys?

    I'm having the same problem. It's as if my iPhone and MacBook Pro now have two separate calendars.
    Basically, I have a MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion, 13", late 2011) that I sync via USB with an iPhone 4S (iOS 5.1.1). Before upgrading to Mountain Lion, all of my iCal events would sync flawlessly. But none of the events I've created in iCal (Calendars) since upgrading have synced to the iPhone. Likewise, no new events that I create on the iPhone Calendar will sync to iCal. Also, changes to an existing event (even one created before upgrading to Mountain Lion) don't get synced either.
    Everything else seems to be syncing just fine though (music, apps, contacts, etc).

  • Google maps not working with symbian belle upgrade

    guys after recent upgrade with symbian belle google maps stopped working is there any problem will belle dose it support google maps 4.1.1

    For those people still can't get Google map to work on Belle after the Wifi trick, a hard reset finally fixed mine!  (No, a soft reset did not fix mine, but you should try it first.)  Yea, it's a pain in the butt having to reinstall some apps and reconfigure preferences.  But my phone also runs smoother and the battery lasts longer, as least it seems.  I still need to turn on Wifi for Google map to start.
    Detailed steps:
    Do a full backup with Nokia Suite, just in case. (If you restore later, do not restore apps & preferences.  Otherwise, Google map won't work.)
    Put phone in Offline mode to end all calls and connections: Press Hangup > Offline
    Try Soft reset first: Settings > Phone > Phone Management > Factory Settings > Restore.
    Reinstall Google Maps.
    If soft reset didn't work, try Hard reset: Settings > Phone > Phone Management > Factory Settings > Delete data and restore
    Enjoy!

  • ICal Events on my mac not showing in reminders after upgrading to mountain lion

    after upgrading to mountin lion, all calenders on my mac are not showing in the reminders app, only calenders on icloud. The irony is all calenders created on my mac have been reclassified on iCloud. This was done automatically during the last upgrade and I chose to have my calenders on iCloud, so now they are listed twice in the iCal, however, there seems to be a difference between entries. For instance if I turn off the work calender on my mac, different things are removed than if I turn of the work calender on iCloud - i don't understand how or why this happens. In Reminders those very same calenders that are listed as iCloud on the iCal are listed as "on my mac" in the Reminder app and do not show anything. The only calenders on the Reminders app that appear under "iCloud" are the ones that I created on my iPhone. All these calenders are showing the correct entries.
    SO far not terribly impressed with Mountian Lion. I am also annoyed that it seems that I can no longer view all my entries from calender tasks at the same time like I used to be able to with Lion. This was very useful. It is now terribly inconvenient to have to check each calender and list in turn (I have nine) to be reminded, unlike in Lion with the list just to the side of iCal.
    Any help with the above problem?

  • Sound effects not working with SoundSticks after upgrade to 10.4.4

    After upgrading to 10.4.4, the sound effects of OS X, such as emptying trash, iChat effects, etc, doesn't come out from the SoundSticks (first generation, connected via USB), even though I've turned it (effects) to the highest level, and selected to have it come out of the SoundSticks.
    The effects are fine if I select Built-in Audio as sound output.

    The names are updated to the following (although the documentation doesn't reflect this):
    addDataSourceConnectionPool == createJDBCConnectionPool
    addManagedDataSource == createManagedDataSource
    addNativeDataSource == createNativeDataSource
    testDataSourceConnectionPool == testConnectionPool
    Hope it helps ...

  • Mail does not retreive messages after upgrading to Mountain Lion

    I just upgraded my work iMac (2009) to Mountain Lion last night and now it will not retreive any messages from my work email account (POP).  It was working fine yesterday (and for the past 3+ years) while I was still on Lion, but despite searching for answers and trying multiple solutions for several hours, I still cannot get it to work.  Among other things, I have deleted and then added the account back (multiple times); restarted the Mac (multiple times); and zapped the PRAM, but nothing has fixed it yet. 
    When I select "Get Mail" from that mailbox and watch the Activity Monitor, it connects to the server, says "Fetching new mail", then "Preparing to retreive new mail", but it then just disappears after about about a minute and makes the "no mail" beep.  There are no error messages, but I can see in the bottom "Mail Activity" window that it says it's downloading 40+ messages but nothing shows up.  The mail account still works on my iPhone and I can check the mail on my webmail server, so I don't think it has anything to do with the server especially since it worked fine yesterday. 
    Any insight would be much appreciated because it's driving me crazy!!

    I forgot to mention (and add a new level of strangeness) that Mail is retreiving all of my messages from my personal (AT&T) account without issue.
    And I just discovered an even bigger problem: all of my emails from my Sent and other folders from my work account are completely gone!
    I may have no choice but to revert to my Lion system as of yesteday, before I installed ML.

  • Variable Exit Not Working with Personalization After Upgrade

    We recently upgraded our BW production system from version 3.5 to 7.0. Currently, we have some web templates/reports that use date related
    user exit variables in the query. For instance, we have a date range
    variable that is populated with a 90 day rolling period in the Customer
    Enhancement RSR00001 / program ZXRSRU01.
    Before the upgrade, these variables would get populated by the Customer
    Enhancement even if the web template/page was personalized. However
    after the upgrade the, when the users try to personalize their
    page/template the date range is not populated by the user exit anymore.
    Instead, the date range that was present when personalization is being
    set.
    Seems like the sequence priority for the population of variables has
    changed with the upgrade where personalization supercedes the customer
    exit for variable population.
    As a result, all these web reports are coming with wrong dates now
    after the upgrade.

    This is due to deactivation/format change of few info objects post upgrade.
    This can be recitified by a program or by manual activation.
    With NW2004s SAP Content contains the new versions of InfoObjects 0TCTLOW, 0TCTHIGH and 0TCTIOBJVAL having type CHAR with the length 60 are delivered.
    In order to resolve the problem with personalization ensure that the right version of these InfoObjects in active. If still the old version with filed length 32 is used, it is necessary to activate these 3 InfoObjects using Administrator Workbench --> Business Content.
    When activation is completed, personalization of variables should be repeated once again in order to write the values to the DSO 0PERS_VAR.
    Program correction, I am not completely sure, but its something like RS_PERS_ACTIVATE.
    Please check.

  • Problems with computer  after upgrade to Mountain Lion.

    I've had a slew of problems after the upgrade. Opening up virtually any programs takes longer, things unexpectadly freeze and the overall performance of my computer is very poor. I even had to do a light reformat of the hard disk because the OS would not start.  After speaking with a Mac rep in L.A., I was told that my processor (Dual core 2) might not fast enough for the software. I asked him if upgrading the Ram would help and he stated that it probably wouldn't.  This is both extremely dissapointing as well as upsetting. I'm a small business and cannot change computers every 2 years.  At this point I really regret upgrading and wish that there's something I can do to bring back the older operating system that I had when I purchased the computer. I own a 2010 Mac Book Pro. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

  • Mail sorting problem after upgrading to Mountain Lion?

    I have a strange problem with Mail after upgrading to Mountain Lion.
    Before upgrading, when I tried to search my Mail Inbox for e-mails from a specific sender, the esearch results would be indexed by the name of the sender. For example: when I entered 'John Smith' in the search box in Mail, it would display a list of email from 'John Smith'
    Now after upgrading, the same query indexes the search results by the 'To' address i.e. my email address.For example: if my name is 'Steve Johnson', a search for 'John Smith' in the search box in Mail displays a list of email to 'Steve Johnson' and not from 'John Smith' which is how it used to display before.
    My emails are sorted by Date always, and I am using the default Mail view [not classic view]
    Can someone please help with a fix for this to help me get back to the original display I had while searching? Thanks in advance.

    I'm having the same problem.  It's incredibly annoying!!!  Did you find an answer?

  • After upgrading to mountain lion i keep getting an error message saying my startup disc is full. it shouldnt be full because there is barely anything on there and i was running windows with bootcamp prior to this with no issues

    after upgrading to mountain lion i keep getting an error message saying my startup disc is full. it shouldnt be full because there is barely anything on there and i was running windows with bootcamp prior to this with no issues. my computer now freezes and programs close randomly. The usual command for opening windows with bootcamp doesnt work. once in restarted my computer after it froze and it rebooted in windows automatically. i really just want to know if there is a way to take the upgrade off my laptop because it is very annoying.

    Hi Memalyn
    Essentially, the bare issue is that you have a 500GB hard drive with only 10GB free. That is not sufficient to run the system properly. The two options you have are to move/remove files to another location, or to install a larger hard drive (eg 2TB). Drive space has nothing to do with SMC firmware, and usually large media files are to blame.
    My first recommendation is this: download and run the free OmniDiskSweeper. This will identify the exact size of all your folders - you can drill down into the subfolders and figure out where your largest culprits are. For example, you might find that your Pictures folder contains both an iPhoto Library and copies that you've brought in from a camera but are outside the iPhoto Library structure. Or perhaps you have a lot of purchased video content in iTunes.
    If you find files that you KNOW you do not need, you can delete them. Don't delete them just because you have a backup, since if the backup fails, you will lose all your copies.
    Don't worry about "cleaners" for now - they don't save much space and can actually cause problems. Deal with the large file situation first and see how you get on.
    Let us know what you find out, and if you manage to get your space back.

  • On 2011 iMac, External Altec Lansing speakers no longer work after upgrading to Mountain Lion. They DO work on a lenovo machine but not my imac

    On 2011 iMac, External Altec Lansing speakers no longer work after upgrading to Mountain Lion.
    They DO work on a lenovo machine but not my iMac. reset Pram - no luck. took speakers from wife's desktop, they
    do not work when jack plugged into my iMac - Sys Prefs "SOUND" only lists "internal speakers/ built in" as available options.
    I used my altec lansing speakers on 3 macs including this one for 5-6 years.....now with Mountian Lion I can only get internal speakers???
    Ideas? Any/All help would be greatly appreciated - been going nuts with this for 2 days now.

    Hi,
    When you start Messages fro the first time you are asked for an Apple ID
    When this is verified and entered it appears in Messages Menu > Preference > Accounts and is Enabled.
    The App should have also picked on on those iChat Accounst you had before.
    These should be Enabled if they were when you last used iChat.
    Exactly which "Accounts" are logged in can be seen in Message Menu > Accounts and will include the iMessage "Account" and Bonjour.
    In the Window menu you will see CMD +0 for the Messages window and CMD+1 for the "Buddies" window which is a combined list at this stage.
    Go to the Preferences > General Section and Untick the "Collect all accounts into one list".
    This will give you separate iChat type Buddy lists.
    You can check if that account/Buddy list is set to Invisible or if in the Preferences > Accounts > Security you have settings that will block some people from seeing you as On line.
    You are saying Buddies can see you as On Line which implies they are still sending to your AIM based Names (@Mac.com is a valid AIM Screen Name)
    I am not sure from your post if you are trying to iMessage their email IDs thinking they are Apple IDs and that they are using Messages as well.
    There is no Buddy list for iMessages side
    No-one can tell you are "On Line" until they have your details in the "To" spot in Messages with the correct iMessaged contact info (iPhone Number or Apple ID)
    Obviously an Apple ID can be an email or look like one.
    In some cases they are also valid AIM Screen Names as well.
    In the case or the @mac.com name you may have linked this Apple ID to iMessages as well.

  • HT4798 username/password not working after upgrade to mountain lion

    hello, on my imac after upgrading to mountain lion my computer password and/or username seems not to work anymore: when i want to install an update or search for updates on the app store the combination i used so far, does not work anymore. i tried to find out how to reset the computer password but without too much success, and i'm a bit confused, what can i do? thanks a lot

    You went wrong at the very beginning by not erasing the hard drive of a used computer before starting to use it yourself. I suggest you do that now.
    Back up all data to at least two different storage devices.
    Boot into Recovery (command-R at startup), launch Disk Utility, and erase the startup volume. This operation will destroy all data on the volume, so you had be better be sure of your backups. Install OS X. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.
    When you reboot, you'll be prompted to go through the initial setup process. That’s when you transfer the data from one of your backups. For a walkthrough, see here:
    Using Setup Assistant
    Don't transfer the Guest account, if it was enabled on the old system.
    Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.
