Ichat with google talk and others

Is there any way I can add yahoo..google talk and aim people and see them and speak with them just by using my @me name or my aim name on Ichat version 5.0.1?
if so how..its seems complicated to do all this

No.
You can have a Buddy list based an A Google ID
You can have a separate Buddy LIst based on your @me.com name
The people you know on a Jabber Server or with Google IDs can be added to the GoogleTalk Buddy list.
AIM (And Apple) Buddies can be added to your @me.com Buddy list.
AS Defcom pointed out there is a way with a Jabber server to Link to the AIM service (And therefore get AIM/Apple Buddies into a Jabber /Googletalk Buddy list (GoogleTlak is a Jabber server)
You can not get Jabber Buddies into the AIM list.
So with just an @Me.com Buddy list you can only add those other People that login to AIM.

    hi. i am trying to set up ichat with google talk, but in the account type list, there's only AIM, mobleme, and mac.com; then there's the line and nothing else. any help on making it appear??

    Hi,
    The Jabber and Google options should be there but greyed out if Parental Controls is On for the Mac User account you are logged in with.

  • Isight works with photo booth but not in ichat or google talk or skype?

    isight works with photo booth but not in ichat or google talk or skype?

    Hi
    Is this an Internal or External iSight ?
    In iChat, in the Video Menu (This is to the right of Buddies and may read Audio) is Camera Enabled Ticked ?
    If it reads Audio open the Connection Doctor from that same menu.
    In the connection Doctor open the Capabilities tab
    Does it say your Internet Connection is too slow ?
    At this point I would need to know which iChat Version.
    However also look in the View Menu.
    Is Show VIdeo Status ticked ?  (this shows green Icons next to your Buddy Pic and those of your Buddies
    Next go to the iChat Menu > Preferences > Video Section
    Do you see a preview here ?
    Re: GoogleTalk
    Have you enabled TALK on your Google Account Settings ?
    You need to have a Google Mail ID (Not any other sort of Google ID)
    Have you downloaded the Intel only Web Browser Plug-in to do Video in a  Web Browser.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • When I use Thunderbird with Yahoo Groups, Google groups, and other email lists, I don't get a copy of my own emails back from the list (I do with Mail.app)...?

    When I use Thunderbird with Yahoo Groups, Google groups, and other email lists, I don't get a copy of my own emails back from the list. I *do* when I use Mail, so it seems like a Thunderbird thing. I'd really like to see my own emails come back to me in the conversation so that I know where my remarks fall in the discussion; it's very disorienting when you can't tell if your email has arrived at the list, or not. I can't seem to find the setting, and I've searched thru your help topics, etc., to no avail. Thanks.

    It's both gmail and mac.com email accounts, and it's all email lists -- including some privately hosted on servers, that are not Google groups, not Yahoo groups.
    I'm not sure what you mean by "saving a copy of your messages yourself" in Mail -- if I email to the lists with Mail on my laptop or iPad, I can see it on my desktop computer too, right in line with other email messages in the thread, after the list resends the message I've submitted. It's only Thunderbird that this "invisible posts" behavior happens, and it didn't use to happen this way. I used to get my emails posting right in the thread.

  • 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. 
    Here's the link to the info above: "https://motorola-enterprise.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/69514/~/droid-3---google-talk"

  • How much would it be to add 2 more lines with unlimited talk and text?

    I would like to find out how much three lines would cost with unlimited talk and text

    BE WARNED!!!!
    I was just hammered by Verizon because I added 2 lines. I brought two family members over from other carriers to our "share everything plan". The iphones we ordered came with pre-assigned numbers. The family members wanted to keep their existing numbers and Verizon said to "just have them ported over".
    We didn't want, or had any use for the numbers that Verizon assigned the two new phones. When I got the phones I called the Port center at Verizon and they walked me through getting the numbers over from the other network. They had me activate the phones and then ported the numbers over (spend about a day on the process).
    So I just got my bill and was outraged. Verizon charged me $78 for the lines of the phones they sent. I was charged $78 just to activate the line so that a number could be ported over. So now I have an extra $156 on my bill not to mention the $$$ they added on to have the numbers ported over. So adding two people to my family share plan cost me $327.

  • Sync issues with Google Calendar and e-mail alerts

    Hello,
    I'm experiencing a lot of problems with iCal while I'm trying to sync it with Google Calendar. I have correctly inserted my Google account information into iCal, but:
    when I create a new event and I disable the e-mail alert and save it, it automatically turns on the e-mail alert! Is there a way to disable by default all alerts? I have already tried to go to Settings - Advanced and select “Disable all alerts” with no result;
    all the events I create into iCal are correctly synced with Google Calendar and I can correctly read them on the web app, but in my android device they don't have the time information (they are listed as all-day events)

    GooSync would do the trick - http://www.goosync.com/
    Plz be aware that Goosync nor Google Contacts supports all field from your phone so it is not an 100% backup unfortunately

  • IPad bombs out returns to home page using Google Earth and other random Apps, why and how can I prevent it happening?

    iPad bombs out returns to home page using Google Earth and other random Apps, why and how can I prevent it happening?

    Quit/close all apps and restart the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    You can try this as well.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • Sync OSX Reminders with Google task and OSX Notes with Android's Memo

    Hi all!
    I have recently moved to OS X and I was wondering if there is a way to sync Reminders with Google Task and Notes with Android's Memo. I can see the question has been asked in past for a different OS X (I'm on Maverick) but I couldn't find a solution that works.
    I have currently my Calendar sync'ed with Google Calendar: if I choose "Accounts..." in Reminders I can tick "Mail", "Contacts", "Calendars", "Messages" and "Notes" but I can't see "Tasks".
    Is there a way to set this?
    Thanks in advance!

    Cheers for that BikeMystery. So yeah, if you mainly use Google Services then the only way to get Reminders and Notes syncing between OSX ML and your iOS deviceis to activate Notes and Reminders under iCloud and create an @me address and an iCloud calendar. That's a bit pants really.
    If you do have an Exchange or Yahoo! account set up in Mail, Contacts & Calendars does that allow Notes & Reminders to sync with iOS without iCloud?
