Possible to make calls with Google Voice account through iChat?

I have a Google Voice account (have for a while now), which allows me to make calls through VOIP. I've recently lost phone service and have noticed that an option when making calls in Google Voice is through Google Chat.
Now, I can never get Google Chat to work on my Macbook, so I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to get it to work with iChat.
I have signed into my Google account through iChat, but when I make calls in Google Voice and I select to call through Google Chat, it says "Calling You" like it would if I were using my phone as the proxy, but it doesn't do anything.

I think I figured out how I want to do this.
For others in similar situations (this is assuming you HAVE a Google Voice account, which they don't give out anymore, AFAIK), go to http://www.google.com/talk/ and download the plug-in on the left. Install it, then open up your gmail in browser. On the left side, there will be a section that can let you make calls directly from your computer. SUCCESS!!

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=

Replace Nuance Voice Commands with Google Voice Search

I would like to replace the Nuance Voice Commands with Google Voice Search when i press the call button on my bluetooth stereo headset.
I do not see a way to uninstall the Nuance Voice Commands...
I do not see a way to configure the phoe so that it uses Google Voice Search instead of Nuance Voice Commands...
Factory reset defaults the phone to Nuance Voice Commands...
I would like to press the call button on my stereo headset and have more voice commands than the Nuance app provides. Has anybody found a way to change this behavior without special access?
Sorry my phone is stock and no special access...

Hi and welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
I just tested it here and i get the same result as you but i'm swedish as well.
Not sure if this has to do with how Google Maps behaves in different countries but a Google search is made when you say a voice command that's not recognized by any of the apps you have for the watch. There's a discussion about the "Navigate to" not working here and it seems Google is looking into it.
What i've also noticed myself is that some apps actually give wrong information about which voice command you should use so sometimes you have to try another phrase than the exact one the app is telling you to use.

How to sync contacts with Google Voice?

Hey everyone, I'm pretty new to the Desktop Software and need a little help. I have had my bb for over 2 years now, but I have never used the DT software for anything but a full back up do a full reset of my phone.
So he is the situation. I just signed up for a Google Voice account and replaced my sprint voicemail with the google voicemail. I want to add all my bb contacts to my gmail/google account but I don't want to do it manually. To sum things up, here are my questions (the ones that I think would solve my problem, but feel free to let me know if I'm venturing down the wrong path at anytime)
1) Is there a way to set the DT software to use Gmail/google as the application for Address Book? Right now I'm just using the Windows 7 Contacts.
2) If I can't use Gmail directly, is there another application that the DT software can link to that will save all the contacts as CSV files, and then I import them to Gmail that way? I believe Windows 7 saves them as a .contact file and Gmail says the format is invalid?
3) How do I add applications to the DT software that are available to sync the organizer data with? Currently the only options I have are Yahoo, Windows 7 Contacts, ASCII, and a 4th that I don't remember at the moment.
The usb port on my phone is going bad, so I have to do a balancing act it the cable in order to get the computer to even recognize that the phone is connected, so I really would like to get all my contacts into my Gmail account in case I have to get a different type of phone.... My patience is running thin waiting on the new Bold LOL
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hey dcdarrencrosby,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
You will not be able to use the BlackBerry Desktop Software to synchronize your contacts from BB to Google.
However if you have a Gmail account added on the BlackBerry, there is a wireless sync option that can bring your contacts over.

What's wrong with my device? It does not allow me to make calls with Skype or Viber... Can someone help?

What's wrong with my device? It does not allow me to make calls with Skype or Viber... Can someone help?

My device is a Blackberry Z30. Skype and Viber just to work fine. I had to travel abroad and turn off data services while traveling outside of the US but the applications worked just fine with Wi-Fi. Suddenly they stopped working to make calls. I can still send text messages, but when I try to do a voice or video call (in the case of skype), it only says "failed call" and when I try to call using Viber I get an error message that says the I can not use the application until I complete my GMS call which is ridiculous because I'm not using the phone other than trying to place my call through Viber. The interesting thing is that when I go the permission page in my security settings everything indicates that its on but is gray out and I do not have access to change any setting. The same in both applications. The rest of the applications are accessible to change settings. I already uninstalled skype and reinstalled it and still the same problem. I'm ready to back up everything and wipe out the device to original settings.

IPod updates 2 touch with the new software, and from the update they are not connected with Time phase. They appear calling but never they enter the calls. I make calls with other users and if one connects but in these two not from the update

iPod updates 2 touch with the new software, and from the update they are not connected with Time phase. They appear calling but never they enter the calls. I make calls with other users and if one connects but in these two not from the update

I use Firefox 95% of the time, and there's no problem with flash content (and I'm still at .55 - downloaded .64 last week but I haven't got round to making the change yet). At the rate they've been changing it recently it may well be out of date already .
I've been trying it in Safari, too with no problems apart from You Tube, but that's because I'm blocking Google cookies.
One thought does occur - if your Flash preferences are set to block all Local Storage, it may be that the problem site is trying to use Flash cookies (LSOs). I had this problem recently with the BBC iPlayer streaming content. Little Snitch notified an attempt to connect to a new URL - emp.bbci.co.uk.
If I disallowed it, no streaming; when I allowed the connection, it still wouldn't stream, so I did a bit of digging and came to the conclusion that it was trying to set a Flash cookie. When I unblocked, lo and behold - streaming resumed as normal.
I now have LSOs blocked in a more subtle way that lets the site think it's being set (but it ain't) and the streaming still works.
As for permissions repair - always repair from local; the permissions on the original disc will have been superceded by updates and new installations of Apple software.
DU needs to be reading the packages on the HD, not the (now out of date) install disc.
The recurring repair messages are normal and don't mean anything's wrong. As long as the final message is 'repair complete' there's no need to dwell on it.

Can't use keyboard with google voice after 1.3.1 update

Prior to 1.3.1, when I received a call via Google Voice, when prompted with the option to "1 take the call, 2 send to voicemail etc" I could just slide out the keyboard and hit which ever number I wanted. Now, (after 1.3.1) the keyboard seems unresponsive, and I must manually: 1) switch to keypad view 2) select the key I want.
Is anybody else experiencing this? Or has anybody already filed a grievance under the feature request section of the Palm site?
Thanks!
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

Hi there,
I am getting voice prompts to: "press 1 to take the call, press 2 to send to voice mail etc". My "1" key works just fine. It is more the delay in my ability to use it that is different between 1.2.1 and 1.3.1
Previously, I could press the key and it would work right away. I could pick up the call, or send to voicemail, etc.
Now, I press it and nothing happens, however, by the time the voice prompt returns to repeat my options, my keyboard starts to work..
I hope that's more clear!
Thanks!
Andrew

Is it possible to make photos with the Ipod nano 5G?

Is it possible to make photos with the Ipod Nano 5G?

No. But you can take a photo of the video with your Mac.
With the iPod connected to your computer, click on the iPod, open the DCIM folder & move the video file onto your desktop. Play the video & when you get to the part you want to take a picture of, put Quicktime on pause. Take a screen shot (appleshift3) or (appleshift4 for cross hair cropping) of the paused video.

Sending text with Google Voice

When I try to send a text message with Google Voice, the new line symbol on the key board (bottom right corner of the keyboard) changes to a weird :-) character but only when I am in the body of the text, it is OK in the the address line. It has been suggested that I i try not filling in the address line when I compose the message but that didn't work. Any ideas?

It's been debated over and over ad infinitum whether text messages need formatting or not. The only reason for a newline is to format text messages. I'm of the old school, just type in a text message and send, no formatting. The "weird :-)" is an emoticon denoting what it sounds like, emotions. In this case a smile.

Sync AddressBook with Google (separate account)

i would like to get my google contacts (these are ALL email based) synced with Address Book (these are ALL phone based) but I don't want to mix up the email addresses with the phone numbers and vice versa.
someone please tell me i can do this...
thanks.

You can only sync with the iCloud account which was entered first into your preferences. You won't be able to do what you want with iCloud. If you're not in the habit of frequently changing contacts one of you could expord your contacts as a vCard and the other could import that into their Address Book.
In Address Book on your Mac, click one contact in the 'All' list then hit command-a to select all. From the File menu choose Export>vCard. Copy it to the other Mac.
On the other Mac choose Import from the File menu and select the vCard.
You might be able to sync your contacts with Google (free account) instead of iCloud: I don't know how reliable this is.

Oh no! I'm sorry to hear you had problems in the are you're in AkJohnDye. I checked your coverage and I do see we have an extended 4G coverage. This means you're able to use your phone but it needs to be activated in a 4G LTE Verizon Wireless coverage zone. I apologize.

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.
