In Messages, is it possible to see when a person is typing for Google Talk account?

In Adium, when in a Google Talk account you can see when a person is typing with a little ... indicator, so you know to wait.
In Messages, that's also how it works with AIM chats - you see a chat bubble indicating the person on the other end is typing.
But in Messages, when in a Google Talk account I'm not seeing any such indicator, so I don't know whether to wait or if the person has simply gone away. Is it possible to get such an indicator in Google Talk inside Messages? If not, I'll just switch back to Adium.
Thanks,

  • Is it possible to see the photo details (CMD+I for e.g. Aperture, ISO etc.) in fullscreen view?

    Based on http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1308132?tstart=0 I decided to add each question seperately:
    Hello, I'm quite interested in buying Lightroom 5.2. I tried the RC which ran out now. Yet, I have a several questions that I can't really find good conclusive answers to, that I'd like to get answered before buying LR. Please don't write maybe like this or that (assumptions), since I don't want to start my whole workflow and then realize that I have to change everything around, so please answer, if you know for sure that something works and you are, preferably, using that method too.

    Note that if you invoke Full Screen Preview (F) from Grid Mode, then Cycle Info Display (I) doesn't work at all, no matter how many times you press "I":

    It appears that Adobe originally designed Full Screen Preview to be a special viewing mode of the underlying mode.  So if you invoke Full Screen Preview from Grid Mode, Cycle Info Display doesn't work and the arrow keys work with selections just as they do in regular Grid Mode, not as in Loupe Mode.  But according to employee Becky Sowada, Adobe is reconsidering this design; see the 9/17 thread in this topic:

  • Messages is not displaying avatars from google talk account

    I'm newer to using messages on my macbook pro. I've just recently upgraded to Mountain Lion and am loving the integration with imessage and my other chat client (google talk). Unfortunately, I'm not seeing all the nice avatars that are on my google talk account in messages. How can I get those to pull into the app? Or, if I have to, how do I add them manually?

    I too had the the same problem, but i solved it by the followin method.
    Step 1 : Enable 2 setp verification from gmail.com (https://www.google.com/settings/security)
    Step 2 : Go to Manage in Connected applications and sites tab
    Step 3 : Generate application specific password.
    Step 4 : Now go to system preferences > Mail, Contacts & Calenders > Google tab (If already) > details> enter your username and then the application specific password
    Step 5 : In iChat preferences , you'll now see the google acc with greyed out username and password and a single option of Enable this account.
    Step 6 : Now it should work

  • IChat using a Google Talk account shows XMPPErrorDomain error 6 when displaying buddy on iChat Server

    My brother uses iChat with a GMail account. I run my own iChat Server (OS X 10.6.7) with XMPP federation (cachain entry in s2s.xml commented out so that Google federation works when a self-signed certificate for iChat Server). This worked fine in the past, but I had to reset a lot of things after a migration. One of those is that I now use a different domain for my iChat Server and iChat accounts.
    After some initial problems, we can chat, video, everything. But his Buddy line for me shows "XMPPErrorDomain error 6" instead of my status. Any suggestions on what to do?

    Hi,
    iChat Server is a bit outside what I known.
    Luckily I know a man that does.
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/servers_enterprise_software/mac_os_x_ser ver_v10.6_snow_leopard
    If you use the "Refine this List" option you will see that the "old" forum of "Collaboration services" is still there.
    That will allow you to hone down to the iChat Server stuff (and some other things).
    If you post a new Question you can tag it with iChat and "Collaboration Services'
    This will make sure that Tim Harris sees it.
    He, like me, is here in the UK so expect Time Zone delays in posting replies.

  • Entered email in wrong when I was signing up for an apple account.

    Now it says my card information is already associated with that account. How do I fix this without having to deactivate my card?
    Some additional information,
    I'm not sure how I typoed my email at that time because I just thought starting a whole new application would fix it.

    Hi Kilagannon,
    If you are having problems with the paying methods section of the iTunes account, you could try buying iTunes cards. By doing so, you will be able to make an account without having any credit card/PayPal paying methods.
    1. Buy an iTunes card.
    2. Go to iTunes main page and on the right of the page you will see under Quick Links an option called Redeem.
    3. Type in the code on the card and hit Redeem.
    4. iTunes will tell you to make an account, you will have to fill in your name, e-mail address/password, secret question, address... When you get to the Paying Method section, iTunes will have automatically added a new method, in the Credit Card box, which is "None".
    You won't have to worry about credit card issues and taxes or anything.
    This is not really an answer to your question, but a suggestion to your problem.
    Try this link:

    FireFox automatically says security risk when I go to this account. But there is no problem - it is a secure site. I don't know what to do to update FireFox for this site.

  • Messages multiply when searching mail. Thx for your help!!

    Hi friends!
    I got a RMBP (10.8.1.).
    When I search my mail, suddenly, they seem to multiply. I see the same mail 20-30 times, but it has been sent only once. See attached screenshot. Also, the search results are quite random. I already deleted the mail identity and re-setup the accounts - no remendy. Accounts are google mail based.
    Any tipps HUGELY APPRECIATED - working without a search function just isn't the same!.
    Simon

    It is not clear that the problem lies in the find function. Those seeming duplicates bear a number of different timestamps.
    There have been reports of google-based mail systems creating multiple copies of a mail in the outbox during composition on Apple Mail.
    Am I right that "Papierkorb" means "Trash"? Are they all there if you look in that folder?
    The suggested bypass for the multiple-copy problem with newly composed mail is to deactivate "Store draft messages on the server" for Google-based accounts.

  • See the other person typing in iChat

    Why can't I see when some people are typing a message to me, but I can see most people typing a message to me? It's helpful to see everybody so you don't close the window while someone is responding to you

    Hi,
    If this happens to be with a Buddy List that Logs in to AIM it can be about the "Client" or App that they are using at their end.
    Not all Apps or Clients as they are sometimes called can send the info that the person is typing.
    AT the same time that is not to say that the Sender is not having problems with their end.
    It is unlikely to be your end if some are seen typing and some are not.

  • Problems using Google Talk with Messages

    Hello everybody. I have configured my Google Talk account in Messages; everything was working fine, but I came across an annoying issue.
    A friend of mine has Google Talk too: he uses Windows with Google's “official” application, together with the web plugin for Gmail. He is in my buddy list and we can chat, but we cannot make voice calls, nor use video chat: I see all buttons greyed out (except the “text chat” one).
    Any ideas to make it work?
    Thank you very much

    Hi,
    iChat or Messages to a Browser has never worked.
    He needs to get a Mac or you need to change to using a Browser.
    The Why.
    Google talk run a Jabber server.
    Most Jabber App have a module call Jingle Library that does the A/V stuff.  See Jingle
    Jingle use different A/V protocols to those used by iChat and Messages.
    The linked article seems to get changed fairly regularly.
    Currently it reads
    Jingle is an extension to the Extensible Messaging and Presence Protocol (XMPP) which adds peer-to-peer (P2P) session control (signaling) for multimedia interactions such as in Voice over IP (VoIP) or videoconferencing communications. It was designed by Google and the XMPP Standards Foundation. The multimedia streams are delivered using the Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP). If needed, NAT traversal is assisted using Interactive Connectivity Establishment (ICE).
    As of December 2009, the proposed Jingle specification has not yet been approved by the XMPP Standards Foundation, but is now a Draft Standard, meaning: "Implementations are encouraged and the protocol is appropriate for deployment in production systems, but some changes to the protocol are possible before it becomes a Final Standard."[1]
    The libjingle library, used by Google Talk to implement Jingle, has been released to the public under a BSD license. It implements both the current standard protocol and the older, pre-standard version.
    I have bolded the last part.
    This article has reads that Google (And XXMP/Jabber) "Created" the Jingle process.  In the past the wording around this has varied and the implied involvement by Google has varied along with it.
    Before that it did not mention Google in that way and also said the Google version was not that compatible with versions in other Jabber apps.
    This "Older" version would be 3 years out to date.
    iChat and Messages connect using SIP (Session Initiation Protocol) for A/V chats.
    This works with an Intervening server acting as an "Telephone Operator" at both ends to check the Acceptability or the Incoming call and the ports to be used  (it also checks that where the Visible Invite went is the person replying/Accepting).
    AS you both have Google IDs in may be simpler fro you to use a web Browser and download the Google Web Browser Plugin.
    NOTE:
    This may have issues if you use the FLASH Plugin as well.
    At one time Google Used Flash to generate the Video and it seems their plugin is very closely "related" in the way it works.
