Why is my iChat Google Talk sending html markup?

I am using iChat on my new computer and it automatically configured Google Talk when I put in my gmail address. Things looked great until I sent a message to a PC user with a Google Talk application - it arrived to him as
<html xmlns="http://jabber.org/protocol/xhtml-im"><body style="background-color:#fee32f;color:#000000;" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica';font-size: 12px;">i'm on new computer</span></body></html>
instead of just my text - making conversation a little difficult! Is there any way to make sure I'm sending plain text, and lose all the html markup? My text shows up fine when I have Talk open in my gmail browser window, though I see the same thing he was in the transcripts archived in my gmail.

HI,
I have only heard of that in relation to iChat to IQC users.
ICQ was once owned by AIM and formed part of the same "Service"
That is to say it logged in to the same Servers and ICQ names could be added to an AIM Buddy list and vice Versa
ICQ has since been sold off to some Russians and has it;s own servers although can still be "AIM Buddies"
The point is though, that IQC users do not have stylised Balloons or Bubbles for their text Chats and cannot deal with the extra info that is sent.
Basically it is HTML to form the Balloon and colour it and the Font.
I have never seen a Post to say the the PC app called GoogleTalk had this issue
In earlier versions (iChat 4 and 5) there was an Add-on called Chax that could remove the HTML for ICQ chats but it does not work in iChat 6
Google and AIM have both added methods of "Automatically" adding Buddies from the other service to their Buddy lists
I am wondering if the GoogleTalk app has  an "ICQ mode" that is enabled.

  • IChat + Google Talk: shrinks google's buddy icon. Any fix?

    I use iChat for google talk. Unfortunately, every time I start up iChat, the buddy icon in iChat overrides the buddy icon on google's servers. iChat's icon must be smaller, because if i go to use google talk via web interface (in gmail, etc.), the buddy icon is very pixalated (as if google is trying to enlarge it).
    Any way to stop iChat from overriding google's buddy icon???

    Just sent this to the developer of Chax:
    Kent,
    First let me tell you that Chax is one of the best add on programs out there for the mac. I value your work and appreciate it.
    An issues that's been around for a while, and one which I wonder if you can take care of in one of the upcoming releases.
    Basically, the problem is using iChat for Google Talk. What happens is that your buddy icon in iChat ends up overwriting the buddy icon you have set on google/gmail/gtalk/etc. This is a problem because iChat's buddy icon is much smaller, pixel wise, and ends up making the icon on any of google's pages look absolutely terrible.
    Is there anything you can do to prevent iChat from overriding google's icon, or to have allow iChat to use a larger size icon (probably much more difficult).
    There have been many threads about this on apple's discussion forums and on gmail/gtalk google group forums. There is no solution.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

  • Ichat, google talk & parental controls

    I need to be able to use ichat while homeschooling my children.  But I also just recently had to turn on parental controls on my sons computer to limit the computer time.  I found that ichat through bonjour will not work.  I thought I had found a solution by signing up for a google talk account.  I did all the these steps that WuzzyBoom posted a while back:
    You can get GoogleTalk to work if you:
    1. disable the parental controls on the desired user account*
    2. log into that account*
    3. setup the GoogleTalk connection and test.
    4. log out of user account
    5. log back into the admin account
    6. enable parental control again
    7. done.
    This seemed to work except that when I turned parental controls back on and logged back into his account, there was no list of buddies online, just the chat windows showed up.  Not a big deal because he is only allowed to chat with 3 people and we had left the chat windows open so we could chat after putting the parental controls back on.  But when he closed his computer for the night,  it logged him off of ichat and this morning when i tried to tell him something through iChat it says he is offline and the chat window will not open on his computer.
    Has anyone been able to find a solution to not being able to use iChat when parental controls are on?
    thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    I have tested this before in Leopard.
    In Leopard (iChat 4.x.x) it is know that the parental Controls Limit iChat to just AIM Logins
    I had heard and was convinced I had tested that Jabber worked in Snow Leopard (iChat 5.x.x) when Parental Controls were ON.
    Currently I cannot get my Google Account to Login when Parental Controls Is On,
    The Help in Lion says this  (these two appear in the other order in Snow Leopard but say the same thing)
    Pic
    This would imply that Jabber as well as Bonjour is Still furned Off.
    What is strange is that I run Little Snitch (it tells you ports and IP address of connections) and this says iChatAgent (The support app that does the Login ) is in fact Logging in to Google.
    The iChat Preferences loses the option to Enable the Bonjour and Google account.
    Nor does the iChat Menu > Accounts allow you to select/Tick Bonjour or Google.
    And, of course, they don't appear in the Window Menu.
    NOTE
          WHen this was done in Leopard (iChat 4) with an AIM name any Buddies that were not allowed did not show Up if you left Parental Controls ON and returned to using your regular Mac User account.
    That is to say if you tested with Screen Names and IDs (Accounts) you used in your regular Mac User Account and used those in the "test" account, as I did, then any Buddies not added to the AIM Allowed Buddies (in Parental Controls) restricts the Buddy List when you come back to your regular Mac User Account.
    Based on thre Note above I notice that the AIM Account I used in both is restricted to the one Buddy that Is On line that I allowed in Parental Controls (I used an Address Book card and this listed Jabber and AIM Screen Names).
    The Google account is uneffected by the fact I entered two Names/IDs via the Address Card pick and one Manually.
    I double check things against the 7 step list you gave in the first post.
    My "Test"  Mac User Account was set up with the Google Account/ID and my AIM Screen Name as it's two Accounts (in addition to Bonjour) before I turned On Parental Controls.
    I was in the Admin Mac User Account (my Regular Login) and set Parental Controls.
    The Bonjour did not Log in ("known" Issue)
    The Google one did not and could not be made to Login from thr Preferences . Account sub option in the iChat Menu or the DOCK Icon.  The option to Show Jabber Buddies had also disappeared from the Menu Bar Icon drop down.
    I have tried resetting this whilst the Test Mac User Account was Logged in (You have to enter the Admin's Name and password to Set Parental Controls)
    I briefly managed to get the Google List to show but it was not restricted.
    When I quit iChat and re-launched it the Google option was Off again.
    I have spent some time trying different combos but on my Snow Leopard computer I cannot get Google/Jabber to display in any form when using Parental Controls.

  • IChat AV can't audio chat with Google Talk

    I'm using iChat AV 3, and I have enabled my Google Jabber account. My friend is on a PC, and has Google talk. We can IM, but we both can't start a voice chat.
    Is there anything we must do to enable voice chats? We both can talk on skype fine, and we both have headsets that work, just iChat/google talk won't let us communicate.
    Anyone have a solution? This is only till a universal binary of Skype comes out...
    Thanks,

  • Why can't I use the Google talk in ichat?

    I have MBA with ichat v 5.
    I just downloaded google talk using my gmail account.
    Now when I click on ichat and went to click on "I am available"
    a new windows appear with my gmail address and password to be typed in. When I type in my pass-word it does not!! The same windows keep reappearing to confirm my pass-word!!
    How could get my ichat working?
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    That extra lower case l is not the issue. It is the standard message when this happens.
    Is port 5223 open in your Modem or router ?
    UPnP will be OK for that.
    If it is still a problem try deleting com.apple.ichat.Jabber.plist and restarting iChat.
    This .plist is in your Home Folder/Library/Preferences which you will have to go to Manually as Spotlight does not look in there.

  • Can we do a video from iChat to a Google Talk plug-in user

    If a person I know is into using the Google Talk plug-in, which uses say [email protected] and I use iChat, can I Add Buddy entering [email protected] and invite that person to video chat?
    There may be 2 parts to this:
    1) From Leopard
    2) From Snow Leopard
    What I have seen so far:
    A friend on Leopard cannot enter [email protected] and see my name in his Buddy List. Leopard wants .mac, .me or AIM in a popup.
    In my own SL, I have entered an@gmail name in and see it appear with an AIM guy icon, but have not been able to try the chat.
    Then, if iChat to GTalk can be done, can a 3-way chat be done this way?
    I'm still trying to find someone to test with me but meanwhile maybe someone else has experience with it.
    Thanks.
    ~Deb

    What? I don't think that is correct (about the Codec). Both ichat AV and google talk video use H.264 and MPEG4 audio for their codecs.
    "http://code.google.com/apis/talk/call_signaling.html"
    "Currently, only Gmail voice and video chat supports sending and receiving video. At this time, the H.264/SVC and H.264/AVC codecs are supported. Other codecs may be supported in future versions."
    And ichat A/V
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IChat
    Additionally, video conferencing uses H.264/AVC
    And finally...Google Talk Video most certainly does NOT use Flash
    http://news.cnet.com/google-launches-video-chat-for-gmail/
    "Unlike many current video chat products, Gmail Video and Voice uses a proprietary plug-in, not Flash. The small (2MB) download supports Firefox, IE, and Chrome on the PC, and Firefox on the Mac. Support for other browsers and platforms (Linux and mobile) may come later."
    All that being said you are correct though about compatibility. Even though Apple and Google Talk videoconferencing use the same codecs for video and audio they cannot communicate with each other.

    OK... So the Apple Care support call was not that productive. They were very nice, however, they basically had no idea what I was talking about. I was generally asking about the difference in LUN handling from 10.6 to 10.7 and they gave me the canned response of "you are not using Apple Hardware so we can't really help you, we are really sorry...." This was after being transferred to the "Enterprise Storage Group" or something like that.
    So in my travels I found a tech note from another apple list which basically explains what happened between 10.6 and 10.7.
    I'm not "that hardcore" but some of you guys will really get what is going on here. I'm a bit of an IT neanderthal but what has changed as some here have pointed to is that in 10.7 the OS does its own FC multipathing.
    Here is what Manjo Radhakrishnan from Apple said...
    "10.7 does its own FC multipathing. This has changed from 10.6 which did target based multipathing ( based on WWNN ). On 10.7 this has changed to lun based multipathing ( based on the unique lun identifier in the device identification VPD page ).
    If the target supports ALUA ( Asymmetric logical unit access ), the host will do IOs only to the target ports configured as "Active-Optimized" for a particular lun. If there is no ALUA support, all paths to a particular lun will be considered active-optimized and IOs will be done across all the paths.
    Ideally if the target does not support ALUA, you should configure the luns such that a lun is visible only across the ports of one of the target controllers ( lun affinity ) to prevent lun thrashing."
    So here is the link to the thread...
    http://lists.apple.com/archives/ata-scsi-dev/2011/Jul/msg00001.html
    If someone can translate this from smart-guy into dummy-end-user and tell me how to fix my infortrend boxes under 10.7 I'll buy you a bottle of really nice tequila (or several cases of yoohoo).
    thanks!

  • How to make iChat receive google.talk chat from a web page?

    I have set up a google talk account and can login in to via iChat 5.0 on Snow Leopard to that Jabber account. I have placed a google talk applet on my web page for people to chat to me for customer service reasons. But the chat only appears if I have my iGoogle web page open and not in my iChat window, which is what I would prefer.
    The web page with the google chat link enabled is at www.federatefilms.com

  • 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
    http://www.ralphjohns.co.uk/page13.html#feedbag
    The Same thing can happen in Jabber ID (including Google)
    Previously added Buddies should be Authorized

  • Google Talk and iChat Snow Leapord

    I am trying to find out if any other people can not longer video chat with a Jabber account using gmail account to anyone else that uses Google Talk. This set up worked fine before the upgrade to Snow Leapord and iChat 5.0
    I have contacted Apple support and they will not offer support for setting up Google Talk.
    I also have a Mobile Me account and still can not seem to video chat using a specific Apple test account.
    So I looking for any help with that does use iChat and Google Talk

    Hi,
    Welcome to the    Discussions
    In iChat > Preferences > Video section Set the Bandwidth Limit drop down to 500kbps
    This may help with the Audio issue with iChat Buddies.
    Jabber Buddies not using iChat may not even be able to Video as very few Jabber Servers do this. (And they are working on their own Protocols called Jingle)
    GoogleTalk is a Jabber server but have chosen their own method to do Video (not the same Codecs as iChat)
    The Web Mail page chat option uses Flash. This seems to be compatible with the PC based Googletalk App (but not with iChat)
    These maybe more readily found solutions
    Alternatives to iChat but Video chatting In a Web Browser
    MeBeam. An option to use a Web site that create Private room for Video Chatting. Uses Flash to access your Camera and Mic.
    iVideoChat Similar setup but a somewhat corporate type look to the site. Has Public rooms as well. Again uses Flash.
    Googlemail/GoogeTalk now do a Version in a Web Browser
    Tokbox A Site that can link your existing Buddy Lists that USes Flash to Video chat in a Browser.

  • Ichat 4 + Google Talk + file transfer

    Hi!
    I'm trying to send files from iChat to iChat both with GoogleTalk
    accounts without success.
    The file transfer window displays that it is preparing but this goes
    on forever. At the receiver the file transfer windows says
    calculating.
    Both are using 10.5.2 with an up to date iChat. Firewall is off.
    ScreenSharing and Audio/Video is working fine.
    I tested it with .Mac accounts and there file transfering is working
    without any problems.
    Thanks for any hint to solve this problem. It is really bothering me.
    Cheers,
    Stefan

    I've tested this between my Google Talk account and my Jabber account. I used iChat on my Mac Mini to connect to iChat on my MacBook. Both are running 10.5.2. I found that for Jabber file transfers there are two phases. In phase 1 the Chat clients negotiate the file transfer parameters using the server as an intermediary. In phase 2 the receiver uses TCP to connect to the port from phase 1. If the connection is successful the file transfer begins. If it fails the sender can offer another IP address/port for transfer and the receiver can try again. This goes on until the sender has exhausted his list of available IP addresses and ports.
    Problems with file transfer will usually happen at phase 1. At the end of phase 1 the Chat client that wishes to send the file sends a message that details the IP address and port for the receiver. The receiver should try to connect to this IP address and port and get the file. This will fail if there is either a NAT or a Firewall between the receiver and the sender. A NAT botches the transfer because iChat doesn't do anything to try to figure out what it's real address is. A firewall botches the transfer by discarding the inbound TCP SYN packets that initiate the communication between sender and receiver. This is made worse by the fact that as sender iChat doesn't use the same TCP port for transfer all the time.
    In the end file transfer will work for two chat clients that can deliver packets between each other. Two people on the same LAN or on two seperate addresses that are neither NATed nor Firewalled. I've also got this going for people who have a VPN. iChat doesn't help you here. In fact it makes things worse by not choosing a constant port which means that arranging for transfer in your firewall policy is problematic. Ideally a chat client like Psi can be made to work. Psi allows the user to specify both the port and IP address specified in transfer.

  • 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.

  • Why doesn't the App Store have a Google Talk client FROM Google?

    An IM client without push notifications isn't an IM client. I don't know why a person wouldn't just use email as opposed to a Safari-based IM client on a device that can't run Safari+anything (or when the device is idle). Web-based Google Talk is pointless when iPhone user A has to call iPhone user B and say, "hey, let's chat in Google Talk! go to your Google Talk web site and let's start!". just ridiculous.
    What's just as silly is expecting people to give a 3rd party your Google Account credentials. From looking at the forums, plenty of people do just that which blows my mind. Think for 10 minutes all your personal information someone has if they have your Google Account credentials. More and more people are nervous at what Google might do with that info and I'm expected to share my credentials with a 3rd party I've never heard of??
    What's even more laughable are those that give their "Google Apps" credentials to those 3rd party IM services which is basically for those that use Google for their corporate email, calendar, docs, internal web sites, etc. I mean, that's grounds for dismissal in most organizations (the bottomline is that there is no Google Talk capability for the iPhone if you are a Google Apps customer, for reasons of practicality and corporate compliancy).
    Aside from blowing off steam, I'd like to know who is holding up Google from releasing a Google Talk app for the iPhone that has push notification? Is it Google that's uninterested or Apple that prohibiting them? From what little I've found and from where these two are seeming to part ways, it looks like it's Apple holding up Google from releasing this app. If that's the case, I'd like someone to confirm so I (and hopefully others) can start complaining to Apple. Right now this is the biggest reason I'm waiting for at&t to offer an Android-based device instead of buying my first iPhone. I'm tired of waiting but if Apple is holding Google at bay just for an IM client, I can see the writing on the walls and want no part of an Apple world devoid of Google apps. I just soon go with Android and benefit from the software developer that's developing the most useful apps available (google).

    Official word from Google rep:

  • 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.
