Google Talk For Mac Messages

Jun 19, 2017  This is a nice feature for Mac users who chat with Google Hangout and leave a web browser window open to do so, since you’ll be able to communicate and message through Google Hangouts (aka modern Google Talk) but directly in the same Messages app you use for iMessage communication on the Mac.

I figured out a solution for GTalk to work on High Sierra Go to system settings and go to Internet Accounts and delete your google account. Open Terminal find ~/Library/Preferences -name '*iChat*' -delete then rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Messages then rm -rf ~/Library/Messages and reboot Now open Messages and add your google account via Jabber. Then go to preferences in Messages and go to Accounts and go to server settings and make sure settings are as follows: Server: talk.google.com Port: 5223 Check Use SSL Then go to Account Information and Enable this account I rebooted again and then opened Messages and made sure my buddy list was there. Then I went to System Preferences and go to Internet Accounts and add your google account. Upon doing this a message popped up for me asking to Add Google Talk to Messages and WHOA it is working. I can now send and receive messages, have my calendar and everything as before.

Before this I could receive messages and see buddies but couldn't communicate with them. Hope you have the same success I did doing this. Now if I can get AIM to work I would have it all working lol. Didn't help me. Looks like in my case Messages app stores data in some other place. I started using iChat in 2013 and since then went through all upgrades up to High Sierra.

It still shows me my Google Talk Jabber account buddies, though I don't have this account neither in Messages app nor in System Preferences -> Internet Accounts. And my Apple ID account looks suspicious. It does not have a check mark for storing my messages in iCloud.

This caused serious problems until antivirus products began to detect these viruses. The automation functionality provided by VBA made Excel a target for. Belatedly took steps to prevent the misuse by adding the ability to disable macros completely, to enable macros when opening a workbook or to trust all macros signed using a trusted certificate.

Maybe this is because my Apple ID email is the same as my Google Talk 😉. Apple Footer • This site contains user submitted content, comments and opinions and is for informational purposes only.
