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!

  • IChat NOT CONNECTING with Google TALK - Newbie

    Hi
    I have a huge problem with the Google Talk on iChat.
    I followed every step, and nothing seems to work. These are the steps I tried...I created a new jabber account and put all the necessary information like the lD and password. For the server I put 'talk.google.com.' As for the server settings, I left the port at 5223 and left all the boxes checked and 'location' as iChat.
    This is the message I keep getting...'Could not connect to host talk.google.com'
    Could the problem be the port number? as I am residing in Canada, is there another port number? or could it be a problem with jabber itself...like I have to download some additional stuff for Jabber?
    Please let me know

    HI Andrew,
    I have several Jabber accounts and have intermittent problems with all of them.
    Realistically Google seems to be the worst though, either not connecting or dropping connections every now and then.
    But also I am not using a Proxy to get this to work.
    The Jabber side of iChat does not have any Proxy options and relies on the System settings in System Preferences > Network

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Built in iSight not working with Google chat?

    Hi all,
    I recently updgraded to Mac OS X version 10.7.2 for my Intel based iMac.  Since then, the built in iSight camera does not work with Google Chat. It does work with iChat and Photobooth though.
    I reistalled the Google chat plug in (or I guess I installed it again).  I ran a check, and my software updates are current.  I tried the power down, unplug the power cord, wait 15 seconds routine, and that didn't work either.
    When I go in to Mail Settings in gmail, click Chat, and then Verify your Settings, I don't see anything in the window next to it - just black.
    Does anyone have any good ideas to help?  Using google chat is just a lot more convenient for me than using iChat...
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    For some time now the Google Web Browser Video Chat plug-in (Also and automatic part of Installing Chrome) has been an issue in relation to going to Video Chat sites that use the Flash Plug-in.
    My Flash Plug-in in Lion is version 11.1 r102
    I don't have the Google one so I could not tell you the latest from them.
    I am not sure that Google are moving very fast, if at all on this matter.
    It could be as soon as either Flash makes an update it ruins the progress Google have made.

  • Deleting event in iCal 5.0.1 not syncing with Google Calendar

    When I delete an event from iCal, it does not sync with Google Calendar.  However, when I create an event in iCal, it syncs just fine with Google Calendar. Creating and deleting events from Google Calendar syncs fine with iCal.  Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    12/13/2011 - call to google tech support
    Recent support call with Google: iCal deleting events still broken.  this is big for us.  We have users that have accounts for and/or subscribe to multiple calendars, and took a while to teach them to use iCal, so web based calendars will be foreign to them (even though I like the web based).  There is no timeline in place according to Google Tech Support.  I feel like the issue is really Apple's issue, so Google is waiting on them to fix, this type of urgency(or lack of) is right up their alley.  Oh well.
    Does anyone have any suggestions on alternate calendar apps for Mac?  Specifically for google calendars?
    "Regarding the issue about not being able to delete Google Calendar events within iCal, as mentioned it is a known issue which unfortunately we don't have a time frame to offer you.

  • My iWork (pages and keynote) are not communicating with the iCloud. I haven't changed anything and all of the sudden there is no sync happening.  My iCloud account is fine as i can create documents on my iPad and they appear on iCloud.

    my iWork (pages and keynote) are not communicating with the iCloud. I haven't changed anything and all of the sudden there is no sync happening.  My iCloud account is fine as i can create documents on my iPad and they appear on iCloud. However, when i change documents on my mac (documents that are supposed to be in the iCloud), the changes do not sync with my other devices nor with iCloud.  Even when i create new documents on my mac and save them to iCloud, all seems okay and i can access them from my mac, however they do not show up in the iCloud and i can't access them with my other devices.
    Most recent version of mountain lion updated over a month ago.  New iPad in use for over a month.
    thanks

    The same thing is happening to me, Mail was fine about an hour ago and now is rejecting correct password.  Typical when today I'm waiting some important emails!

  • My  MacBook is not communicating with my desk top to enable printing from my MacBook. I need to find out how to make that happen. I have a static IP address on my desktop but don't know what to do on the Mac Book.

    My MacBook is not connecting to the host computer for the printer. The host computer has a static IP address which is different from the IP address that the laptop is looking for. How do I change the laptop so that it looks for the host computer's correct IP? The laptop is connected to the router. I know this because I can get on the internet with the laptop.

    The host computer is Dell and the operating system is Windows 7.  The printer is an Epson, and it is wired to the host computer with a USB cable. It does have host printing turned on.
    The three have been working harmoniously for a long time.  The router had to be reset; and after that, the MacBook documents would no longer print.
    We created a new static IP address on the Dell but the MacBook is not recognizing it.  We have researched the internet trying to figure out how to make the MacBook locate and recognize the correct IP address from the Dell so they can communicate with each other.  The laptop is not communicating with the host computer because is is looking for the wrong IP.  The host IP is 192.168.1.245 and the laptop is looking for 192.168.15.237.
    I hope everything is clear.  The person who originally set it up is no longer available to help me.  Thank you for any help you may give me.

  • Help DSCC agent not communicating with AppServer or Tomcat?!

    Installing Directory Server Enterprise Edition 6.3 From Zip Distribution on system running Solaris10 11/08.
    Cannot get DSCC to work with either AppServer or Tomcat.
    Both AppServer & Tomcat deploy DSEE WAR file and I can look at things that I have manually registered via command line. Cacao agent is running it is just not communicating with AppServer or Tomcat so it cannot commit any actions such as starting and stopping directory instances or creating new directories instances within the web app.
    Is this a bug that occurs only when doing a new install using the Zip Distribution?
    The Error message I get regardless if Appserver or Tomcat is:
    "Could not contact the DSCC agent on <server>. Use the command cacaoadm to check that the DSCC agent is installed and running on port 11169."
    I changed to port 11169 because it had a conflict on default port 11162.
    Output from cacaoadm & dsccsetup commands is follows:

    I started over and installed Glassfish and everything just worked. After the fact I think the real problem was related to the server.policy file. I think this was the problem because using the default appserver 8.2 that comes with Solaris has a different path and I got this same error when tried using tomcat also. When installing glassfish it uses this default path as in the server.policy example as follows so it just worked.
    Add the following lines in the {install-dir}/domains/domain1/config/server.policy file
    // Permissions for Directory Service Control Center
    grant codeBase "file:${com.sun.aas.instanceRoot}/applications/j2ee-modules/DSCC/-"
    permission java.security.AllPermission;
    Hope this helps some as I was really stuck and confused at the time and just started playing with the stuff. Growing pains. Thanks to those that replied.
    Thanks!

  • SAP BI Client tools are not communicating with BO server

    Hi Experts,
    We've recently installed BI 4.1 . We're having few issues:
    1. When client is installed on different machine then it is not communicating with server. We've already tried few things like untick auto assign from Request server and manually assign static port but it didn't work .
    2. Our BO Server is running on AWS Cloud.
    3. Client is communicating when installed on server machine.
    4. Could you please help our how to resolve this error.
    5. CMC and BI launch pad are installed on server side as they're web browser tool and we need to install these on client machine as well. Qns is Do we need to install them or provide just URL link? If just URL like where to get these URL links.
    6. We can't see SAP Lumira and SAP Dashboard on Service market place to install. Where we can find these software on Service maket place?
    7. Could someone please send screenshot to install Dashboard, Lumira, Analysis office and Crystal report enterprise and crystal report 2013.
    8. Do we need to install all these on client machine?
    9. Could you please give me software list which should be installed on client machine?
    10. As i know there is life cycle management tool but it is not even available from server side not even on client side. Could you please recommend how it can be installed??
    Thanks in advance.

    1. When client is installed on different machine then it is not communicating with server. We've already tried few things like untick auto assign from Request server and manually assign static port but it didn't work .
    Could you confirm that you are able to ping the BO server from Client machine. Also use telnet command from commandline of  CMD in client machine. It will help to confirm that port communication is successful. Use ipaddress:cmsport for the system while logging into the client software. Update the hosts file entries at client machine with BO server name and ip address. Create an exception for BO installation location at client machine and check the results
    2. Our BO Server is running on AWS Cloud.
    3. Client is communicating when installed on server machine.
    4. Could you please help our how to resolve this error.
    5. CMC and BI launch pad are installed on server side as they're web browser tool and we need to install these on client machine as well. Qns is Do we need to install them or provide just URL link? If just URL like where to get these URL links.
    Check on the server side first where your web server is installed (I am assuming tomcat in your scenario). Use http://serverame:8080/BOE/BI and http://servername:8080/BOE/CMC (8080 is default port. If it has been changed use the correct port).
    If its working well. Perform the same activity using ipaddress:8080 at server. Next chek whether using the same URL you are able to get BILaunchPad and CMC pages and able to login from the same.
    6. We can't see SAP Lumira and SAP Dashboard on Service market place to install. Where we can find these software on Service maket place (https://service.sap.com)?

    Look into the admin guide for installation pre-requisites. These are available at Analytics Knowledge Center
    We have a drop down for all products. Look for the guide and proceed with the installation.
    8. Do we need to install all these on client machine?
    Dashboard,Lumira,analysis office, CRE and CR2013 are client tools and hence need to be installed on client machine.
    We also have CRS 2013 which is a server software and has to be downloaded from service market place. The li

    These vary according to user requirements. Check with developers for their softwares needed

    In BI4.1 LCM comes by default. It is a server application. You can find it in CMC named as Promotion management and version management.
    Use the admin guide and installation guide for all of the above. It will help you.

  • Computer not communicating with printer(s) scanner

    I recently hooked up an Officejet  J6480 wireless printer. I also have a J5780 hooked up via USB. After hours, and I mean hours,  of being on-line with Tech Support through Chat and uninstalling and reinstalling, several times, and trying numerous things, neither printer has communication with the computer for scanning. The J6480 will scan if you go through Paint so it is functioning. The J5780 I haven't tested. I have downloaded drivers and every other thing that was suggested and the computer is not communicating with the printer for scanning. I have a Dell computer Inspiron 530S and am running Windows Vista (32)  May I also say, that I disable the Firewall & Virus programs when downloading, etc. so it doesn't interfer. I have tried everything but dynamite to get the scanner to respond. I've downloaded the Patch suggested in the drivers listings and everything. Im beside myself because the J5780 scanned fine until I installed the J6480. Now the window on the printer says there are no scan settings available in the window on the printer. Chat Techs, I think, are beside themselves too. I uninstalled the J5780, installed the J6480 and then went into 'Add a Printer'. Everything went fine except the scanner. I get a message from Solution Center saying there is no communication between the computer and the scanner. I think something is missing here. If anyone knows a solution I would be more than grateful. HELP!!!!

    Did you do an L3 uninstall of all HP software and start from scratch?  The L3 uninstaller should be on the install CD's for each printer.  You may have to do a search of the CD to find it.
    Tell me what router, ISP and encryption type you are using?  Also, what kind of security software are you using?
    Have you done a WIndows Update and updated your security system?  Do that between the L3 uninstall and the re-install.
    There is a lot going on here.  I'll hang in there with you...
