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 Not Adding Buddies in Google Talk account

Hi Ralph-
I recently upgraded to 10.5.8. I use Spanning Sync to sync iCal and Address Book with Google. I recently had to reset to my Google account information--delete all contacts and events and reload them to Google using Spanning Sync. I knew that I would have to re-add my Google Talk buddies in iChat. However, iChat will not add buddies. They appear, blink a few times, then disappear. Normally, Google Talk buddies appear, blink a few times, then say "Waiting for Authorization" under status. No dice. They just disappear.
Even if I invite my friends using the chat feature in Gmail through my browser, I cannot add buddies! However, my friends can add me without issue. I've done a great amount of research into the issue. I'm fairly confident its not a Feedbag 10 error and am trying to establish whether its a server issue rather than iChat.
Any input/suggestions are well appreciated.

Hi,
If they have Full names and appear in the Address Book drag them from the Address Book to iChat.
iChat checks that the First Name Last Name info is not already in the Address Book
When iChat was an AIM only client this used to be Called Feedbag (yes FeedBag) Error 10

The Same thing can happen in Jabber ID (including Google)
Previously added Buddies should be Authorized

Ovi chat with Google talk account not seamless..

With a little bit of seraching related to the above topic i didn't find many threads related to this, so its worth starting a new one.
Everytime i open Software Update application on my 5800 i see this 'Ovi contacts 1.20' so updated to it few days back all went well and to my surprise it had an option to invite Google talk accounts too, i like somthing which comes along with the device so that we dont rely on third parties too much. I found that chatting is not that seamless, when i chat with someone the message i send is not reaching them instantly nor the one coming from the other end appears on my 5800(v40), suddenly 3 to 4 chat messages pop up, this is sort of annoying the entire purpose of Instant chat or messaging is defeated, even i did one more test , opended Nimbuzz and Ovi chat and initaited a chat, message i send from Ovi to Nimbuzz comes instantly and the reverse doesn't and suddenly 3 to 4 messages pop up.
So has anyone, using Ovi contacts, facing this and found anything please reply. I haven't tested with OVI-OVI conatcts hope atleast that works instantly.
Thanks........

Hi
Have you got a AIM or .mac account
You can use iChat to talk(video) a PC on AIM, The PC must be using AIM6.1 http://www.aim.com/getaim/win/latestwin.adp?aolp=
Or Skype.
Mac version http://www.skype.com/intl/en-gb/download/skype/macosx/
PC version http://www.skype.com/intl/en-gb/download/skype/windows/

"This message has not been downloaded from the server" - Multiple devices all using Exchange Active Sync

We are having this issue across multiple IOS devices ranging from IOS version 5.x up to the latest 6.1.2. Many (not all) emails sent to the devices are unreadable and simply state: "This message has not been downloaded from the server". Microsoft believes this to be some sort of bug with the IOS devices in the way they are handling the SSL encryption.
Facts:
- Devices are connected to an Exchange 2010 SP1 Rollup 6 via Active Sync (No POP3, IMAP or SMTP)
- issue occurs on multiple IOS devices within the organization ranging from IOS 5.x up to the latest 6.1.2
- Issue occurs on both external cellular data and internal wireless networks
- Not all emails sent to the devices result in the error, but issue does tend to occur more frequently from certain senders/domains
- Using the same user account on an android phone does not result in an issue (even when receiving the exactly same email that has been sent to the IOS devices)
- Closing mail app / rebooting device does not resolve the issue
- Doesn't appear to matter what the mesage format is (can be html, plaintext, etc)
- Spent nearly 7 hours with Microsoft going through the Exchange server configuration and looking for possible causes. None have been found and all testing indicates things are setup correctly.
- This is not a case of Issue 2.3 listed here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2563324 (verified by Microsoft Support)
- If we disable SSL on the IOS device and connect via plain HTTP the messages are displayed correctly!
- If we use a different SSL certificate, the issue still occurs - so not a problem with the original cert.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what would cause this? Does the ISO devices have any sort of log that would indicate why it's reporting this error? The current error is pretty unhelpful.

GFI Have a solution for this problem. It is to do with iOS implementation of reading the message headers when SPF compliance modifications are made by GFI.

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,
doug

"This message has not been downloaded from the server"

Hello, Ever since ive had an iPhone and have used Edge to open a resaonably sized email i usually get "This message has not been downloaded from the server". Im sure this has to do with the slow Edge network timing out. How do you correct this if there is no "Download Now" button. The only solution I have found was to force quit the Mail App (Hold Home button for 6 seconds) and go back in and pray that it downloads without timing out.

There was a thread on this yesterday that stated that if there is more message it may take four to five minutes to download the entire message and/or attachments.
One poster even said that it has taken him over 30 minutes in some cases.
I have this same problem on some email and on others the entire email is downloaded, including any attachments. Since there is no communication put out by Apple regarding this anomaly, it is hard to say whether this a an Apple or provider, i.e., Google or Yahoo.

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.

My messages are not displaying, in the body of the message?

When going to mail I see messages but the body of the message does not display.

Try closing the Mail app completely and see if they show when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Mail app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

LSO_CHECK_BOOKING custom error messages are not displayed

Hi,
Good day! I am currently experiencing some problems displaying custom error messages from BADI LSO_CHECK_BOOKING. I have implemented this Badi and is appending error messages in CT_MESSAGE_TAB however when the message is displayed in portal, the custom message is not displayed. Instead, SAP displays a predefined error "Error When Creating Prebooking with the data entered..."
Is there a way for me to display my custom error message instead of the predefined SAP message?
Thanks a lot.
Cheers,
James

Hi James,
You have not mentioned, which portal you are using. Please see below, that there are differences in the learning and the admin portal:
Learning Portal:
The framework of the existing design of the Learning Portal does not
allow customer specific error messages to be displayed in the portal.
Only a generic message will be displayed when prebooking in the learning
portal if the BADI LSO_CHECK_BOOKING returns an error. The design of the
application does not expect to raise an exception from the BADI. If the
BADI processing is assumed to be unsuccessful, the messages filled by
the BADI will be ignored and a general error message will be displayed
in the portal.
So this is basically a design limitation.
Administrator Portal:
Have you tried e.g. the following notes?
SAP Note 1806593 Admin Portal: Message is not displayed while prebooking
SAP Note 1575238 LSO: BADI LSO_CHECK_BOOKING does not show warning messages

Agnes

Error Message is not displayed on the pop screen for chain end chain

Hi,
I have called a screen in one of the standard program using enhancmenets,
and i had put validations using chain and end chain, but the error message is not displayed immediately on the screen
but it is displaying as log , i want the error should come on the same screen and it should not allow till the correct values are entered , how to handle it
regards
afzal

Hi,
have you tried option "LIKE" with instruction MESSAGE.
Example:MESSAGE ID '38' TYPE 'S' NUMBER 000 DISPLAY LIKE 'E' WITH 'My Message'.
And instead of using a MESSAGE instruction, why to not use a popup ?
Like using one of these function modules (for instance):
TMS_BCU_POPUP_TO_CONFIRM
POPUP_TO_CONFIRM_STEP
POPUP_TO_DECIDE
FC_POPUP_ERR_WARN_MESSAGE
etc...
If that does not work, perhaps it's your ehancement which is not the good one or perhaps you have use a second one.

Report not displaying data from one of the infoproviders

Hi Experts,
Issue: Report not displaying data from one of the infoproviders
I have a report 'ReportA' which has multiprovider MP1 as the source.
MP1 has two Infocubes IC1, IC2 in its design.
Now, when i execute the report, data from IC1 is displayed. But no data from IC2 is displayed.
Is there a setting i need to enable in MP1 ? or is there anything else that needs to be enabled ?
Please reply.
Regards,
Suraj S Nair

Hi All,
When i display data directly from the multi provider, without any restrictions, i cannot view the data from infocube IC2.
I feel its not an issue with the Query. It must be a problem with the setting in the Multiprovider MP1.
Infocube IC2 is a copy of Infocube IC1. Multiprovider MP1 first only had IC1 in its design. It was recently IC2 was also included.
I checked the Characteristics, all of them are assigned corectly.
Now, this issue sure has something to do wiht the setting of Multiprovider or please correct me if wrong.
Regards,
Suraj S Nair

I updated my iphone 4S with iOS 6.1.3 and now my e-mails say, "This message has not been downloaded from the server". We have an Exchange server at work. ??

I updated my iphone 4S with iOS 6.1.3 and now I cannot retreive or send my e-mails. We have an Exchange server at work. I still receive the e-mails on all my devices just fine and I can see the subject headings & a small portion of the body of the e-mail, but when I open the e-mails there is no body and it reads, "This message has not been downloaded from the server". Very aggrevating and is not helping my business at ALL!! Same has happened with both iPads we own now.

Delete then add back the exchange acct on each device.

My sent messages are not displayed...what happened and how do I restore?

Warning messages are not displayed in confirmation

Hi,
We are working with SRM 5.0 classic scenario. Our issue is warning messages are not displayed whenever we press the CONFIRM or DELETE button in the confirmation, however warning messages are displayed if we press CHECK button in the confirmation.
Please suggest the solution to display the warning messages while clicking CONFIRM or DELETE button in the confirmation.
Thank you
Natarajan

Hi Muthu,
Thanks for your reply. We raised the OSS message for this issue. As per the standard system behaviour, warning messages will not be diplayed when " DLETETE" button pressed.
In the DELETE mode, the system will display only the first EXPRESS
ERROR message and not WARNING messages.
Inorder to maintain an error message as EXPRESS, the FIELD_NAME
(i.e ls_message-field_name) has to be assigned with the value
EXPRESS.
For example,
ls_message-msgty = 'E'.
ls_message-msgid = 'ZF'.
ls_message-msgno = '000'.
ls_message-field_name = 'EXPRESS'
Kindly note that in the DELETE mode, the system does not display
EXPRESS message with msgty = 'W'.
Only EXPRESS message with msgty = 'E' is recognised and displayed.
The Warning messages will be displayed only during the CHECK mode.
Thank You
Natarajan
