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

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 is NOT WORKING with Firefox 3.6.8, you can type in & Search but clicking on next is a dead link; does nothing?

Google is NOT working on Firefox 3.6.8, suddenly today. You can type in search and get results on initial page. Clicking on 'next' link or any number links is dead. Yahoo & Bing seem to work. I do not have a Google toolbar. Very frustrating. This suddenly happened today. Please check into it.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).

Smart Talk not working with Bluetooth since update

I have been using Smart Talk for many months now on my iPhone. I have a bluetooth headset which I generally use.
This has worked fine (with the exception that when I get an incomming call it disconnects the bluetooth from the Smart Talk call).
But now, since installing version 1.28.0, Smart Talk is not working with my bluetooth headset at all. When I first make a call the headset is connected - I hear ringback tone. But as soon as the call is answered, the headset disconnects and the call is transferred to the iPhone itself. And the Smart Talk app does not give me any options to select the "audio source" (as it does if I make an ordinary mobile call).
As I almost exclusively use the headset, this latest update has made Smart Talk unusable for me.
Is there anyway I can get back to the previous version?

I worked out the problem... I'm using iPhone 4S iOS7
- Start BT Smart Talk from in car
- call someone, connects to bluetooth
- call someone else, connects to bluetooth
- call someone else, no bluetooth connection
- kill and restart BT Smart talk
- call someone, connects to bluetooth
- call someone else, connects to bluetooth
- call someone else, no bluetooth connection
3rd call, always no bluetooth.
It seems there is no way to select the output like with all other bluetooth devices too

AIM not working with messages

Hello,
My AIM account has not worked with ichat or messages in the last few months. I called Apple about this over 3 weeks ago and they said their is a glitch in the lion software and aim? However, all of my friends have no problem with their aim accounts working. I have downloaded AIM and everything works. It just does not work in ichat/messages after re-setting the password and re-adding the account. Help!

Yes, enabling and disabling the AIM account (sometimes it takes doing it a few times) seems to work. And I found elsewhere that opening activity monitor and killing off the imagent process (which then automatically relaunches) seems to work as well. Those workarounds are not permanent solutions for me though. As soon as the iMac is either restarted or shut down and then turned back on... Messages seems to be right back at square one with not being able to connect to AIM unless I use the workaround again. I just hope Apple can figure out what is going on and fix the app before it goes final.

Google talk not working on my 8310..."service not enabled for this handheld"

Hi,
I use a 8310 curve (I use a 8310 Curve software version 4.2.2.181 (Platform 2.5.0.35). My firm has an enterprise server.
I tried installing google ttalk on my device but i get an error message...."Service not enabled for this handheld".
My colleagues using the same device with the same software version did not face this problem and are able to use GTalk mobile.
Please let me know how this can be solved.
Thanks,
Jassi

It should be installed without any issue!!!
Check with your BES admin to know whether they've blocked GTalk usage for employees.
Another thing are you on AT&T? If yes then you won't be able to use Google Talk. Check this link for details.

Why does Google Search not work with FF14.0.1?

<blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.

When I use Google Search, no matter what I type in, this is all that shows up:

If I use Google Images, the search results and suggestions will show up:

If I click on Search along the top to go back to search after using Images, the web results will be displayed. I'm not sure what's wrong, as it only does it with Fire Fox. I've checked with other browsers, and Google still works with them. Does anyone have any idea what could be doing this?

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!

My Video chat is not working with messages.

When someone tries to send me an invite for a video chat the green light shows up but I do not receive and invitation window to accept it.
I am using an aim account on messages and my server settings are api.oscar.aol.com, port 443, and use SSL is checked.
In connection doctor is says my router type is port restricted and that "This computer's network setup includes one or more devices that are not fully compatible with audio and video chatting. I am not sure if this is the reason my video chat is not working.
If anyone can help me please let me know.

Hi,
Most routers can be accessed via Web Browser.
The IP shown in System Preferences > Network > Advanced Button > TCP/IP tab in the "Router IP" box is generally the one to use.
You also tend to need a User ID and Password.
Apple Base Stations are different in that they have an App in the Utilities folder that accesses the set up screens.
Your router can have different methods of opening the ports.
Port Forwarding
This tends to be the oldest of the methods.
Essentially you point a port to an IP (computer) to allow it.
A collection of ports may need to be entered one by one.
Once set up, only that computer can use those ports.
Port Triggering
This cuts down the number of ports set to be Open as it involves "listening" ports that then open further ports
iChat/Messages needs some ports to be open all the time and you set these a bit like Port Forwarding but with listing the IP to send the data to.
The A/V side can have a listening port (port 5678 for the Visible part of the Invite)
The advantage is that multiple computers can use the same ports.
DMZ (Demilitarised Zone)
This is an ON or Off setting (Enable/Disable)
It opens all the port (65535 of them) to one IP (i.e only one computer can use this.)
It is sort of like Port Forwarding Extreme
UPnP (Universal Plug 'n' Play)
A setting that allows the App to tell the router which ports to open.
This means the router can carry on doing DHCP and multiple computer can use the ports involved.
Where these setting are varies at least as much as there are manufacturers.
This is Linksys Port Forwarding (the arrows above the pic show the Others (it does not show DMZ)

ISight not Working with Messages/Facetime

I have a MacBook Pro 13 inch mid 2009 that I connect to a 22" cinema display (very old but still works beautifully) and I have an older cylindrical iSight camera mounted to the top of the cinema display (laptop is closed and cinema display is only monitor in use). It has always worked fine. I connect the iSight to a firewire hard drive and the hard drive to the fire wire port on the MacBook Pro. Today I am still able to get the isight to work in iMovie. So the camera works, the wiring works.
However, recently I haven't been able to get facetime or skype to recognize the iSight camera. Why is that? How can I facetime with my camera? I don't want to open up my laptop everytime my wife calls.
I have MacOS 10.10.2.

Skype seems to work with the iSight now but messages/facetime still does not. I get a message saying "another application is using your camera." No other application that uses the camera is open. I don't know why the first post appended that I have 10.9.4. I have 10.10.2.

Why google+ does not work with firefox?

Google+ and google drive are not working right in firefox as before

Thats because the old installed version of googletoolbar has a file named install.rdf that declares the max supported version of firefox to be 4.0.
To fix this ,just open the install.rdf file with notepad and change maxVersion from 4.0.* to 6.* (see the image i've also uploaded)
Now, in order to find the correct install.rdf file do the following:
Go to folder :
C:\Users\[your user name here]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\[sometext].default and search for the install.rdf file (im using windows 7)
Windows search will find many install.rdf files (one for each addon you have installed on firefox)
so make sure that you find the install.rdf that has the line
<em:name>Google Toolbar for Firefox</em:name>
in it.
For this install.rdf file just rename the max version as stated above , restart firefox..and vualla! Google toolbar is back!

Google MapsGL not working with Firefox 10.0.2

I tries to activate Google MapsGL in FireFox 10.0.2 but was informed that my system did not meet requirements. When I tried it using Google Chrome it worked fine, so the problem seems to be with FireFox. Any ideas?
Is this something to do with 32/64 Bit browsers? I dont know how to find out what mine is (Java seems to think its 32-bit but I don't know how to confirm in FireFox)

I've seen those Google help files but they don't seem to answer the question. As I said, if I use Google Chrome, the MapsGL works fine, but if I use FireFox it reports that system requirements are not met. Since the only difference is the use of different browsers, it must be something to do with the browser, not graphics cards, axtive-x etc.

Google calendar not working with Safari 5.1.4

I am unable to access my calendars on the Google site, getting the message "We're sorry. Google Calendar is temporarily unavailable. Please try again in a few minutes." Calendars embedded into my website are also not viewable in Safari.
Problem seems to be limited to the desktop version of Safari, as Google calendars continue to work fine in Safari iOS 5.1 and in both Firefox and Chrome.

Go into your Applications folder, right click Safari and click "Get Info". Make sure "Run in 32-bit mode" is unchecked.
