Initiate a conversation GChat through Messages

I have multiple google accounts synced on my Mac. Recently, I decided to start using standard mac applications in order to keep your computer clean and have less clutter in the home screen and less open browser windows (even recently shifted from using Chrome for using Safari, which was GREAT for me).

Anyway, my question is simple: how to properly throw a gchat conversation via the messages app? I turned it on and connected and the app has even found the person in my contacts I was messaging, however when I asked if they received, they didn't. I'm sure that something is wrong and it might be a simple solution, but I'm just curious as I'm new to this use a lot of applications. Should I just download a GChat application or what?

I have OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 (upgrade to El Capitan, soon, just not do it in the middle of the work week). And Messages version 8.0 is important at all.

Thank you!

Hello

Two ways to implement.

(1) enable your Google account in system preferences > accounts Internet messages

(2) in Messages > Preferences > accounts choose Add (+ icon at the bottom of the list), and Google

In general Google ID are Google Mail IDs ending is @gmail.com or @googlemail.com

The good pair should be used (it seems that Mail with you to use is, but Google's Jabber server is more accurate).

If you are unsure connect to Google in a web browser and it will tell you on the top right.

Go to the General Section of the Messages preferences and uncheck the item subject to collect all list of buddies (accounts) in a single list.

Now go to the window Menu and display a list of contacts from Google.

This should list your buddies (use the View Menu to show offline buddies if you are not sure)

Offline buddies can be ID added to the list of bad boyfriend (Apple released IDs and Yahoo or AIM email types follow the same format will be accepted, and will be always 'offline' because they do not exist) (issued Apple ID such a @me.com or @icloud.com which can be used as valid aliases AIM).

In the contacts list, you can double-click the line that the boyfriend is to start a new cat (or put highlight and then use the icons at the bottom of the list or the Buddies Menu)

A friend who has an indicator of red square next to their name is arranged at their end to be far away.

However, in some cases, they can go offline and their status will not change but they may be not accepting offline Messages (which appear when the application starts again)

Which of these ideas could be applied?

  • Messages from a blocked number is visible with the tracking of e-mail or through message transfer applications?

    If a person that I blocked on my iPhone had to send me a text, (the phone can have an app for text of spying on this subject), and it is implemented the text forward to another device, would be the text appear with one? I really need a good answer with an honest explanation.

    It depends on how you have implemented the redirect. If you have set up through your operator (I think that such a thing is possible), then Yes. For example, if I use the app messing my carrier on my iPad, I get all the messages sent to my number of mobile directly from my career, even if I had blocked on my iPhone. If the transmission have been implemented through settings on the iPhone, not because the messages never reach the iPhone.

  • in an e-mail conversation how a message

    In Mail - when messages are linked in a conversation how I isolate them one message so that I can this message? I am using Yosemite 10.10.5 thanks

    Hi there imit57,

    Thanks for stopping by the communities Support from Apple! As I understand it, you are eager to know if there is a way forward a single message in a thread of e-mail message without including the previous messages. I will be happy to provide you with some information to answer your question.

    This article provides an overview on the answer, before and redirect options in the Mail on your Mac app:

    (Yosemite) mail: Reply to, forward or redirect messages

    This section discusses shipping more precisely:

    Respond to forward messages or redirect a message that you receive in error to another person. If the attachments contained original message, you can decide to include.

    Reply to or forward messages

    1. Select a message in the message list.

      To include only part of the original message in your reply, select the text you want to include.

      If you select the message at the top of the page during a conversation, all messages in the conversation are selected.

    2. Move the pointer on the header of the message, and then click one of the following buttons:

      • Response to meet just the sender.

      • Reply to all to reply to the sender and other recipients.

      • Front to choose the new recipients.

    3. Add your text.

      If you original message, vertical bars (called bars of citation) may appear next to him.

      You can make your text appear in the form of quotes:

      • Add quote bars to your text: choose Format > quote level > increase or Format > quote level > decrease. This will also change the quote level at which the selected text.

      • Paste the text of the quoted text: choose Edition > paste as quotation.

    4. If the attachments contained original message, decide to include:

      • Include attachments in a response: click on the button to fixation include in the toolbar of the message window, or choose the command Edition > spare part > include original attachments in response.

      • Exclude attachments an answer: click the exclude attachment on the message window toolbar, or choose Message > remove attachments.

  • When you are ready, click on the Send button .

  • If you still prefer to omit the original message in your reply, choose Mail > Preferences, click on writing, then uncheck the "Quote the text of the original message."

    If the email you trying to convey was sent later in the message thread, you can highlight other answers and click 'remove' to remove previous messages.

    Relax your day wonderful!

  • Can no longer connect to the chat Facebook through Messages

    Suddenly, Facebook connectivity works in Messages. Now, I get always the authentication dialog, with the "incorrect password" error. I tried to reset my Facebook password, delete the Facebook Jabber account in Messages and all the other fixes I could find - still no luck. If someone has had this problem, and are there solutions? I'm running OS X on a mid-2015 MBP 10.11.2.

    Hello

    It is that Facebook has removed the option.

    No-ones Facebook chat ID working.

    The Facebook chat is now all on the main page of the users.

    In other words, there is no Jabber server any more, which in turn means that applications that can Jabber like iChat, Messages and others can not access the Facebook Chat Server today disappeared.

  • Message outlook to PDF conversion: change the name of the default file to the time instead of the subject?

    I have a large amout of email that I convert to PDF using a plug-in in Adobe Acrobat Pro XI through messages Outlook 2010.  I don't want a portfolio created, rather a single pdf file.  I've been open every message and conversion to pdf format, rename the file with date/time (subject line is the default file name), can I combine PDF mutiple files in a single document.  This process would go a lot faster if I could change the file name by default at the time, rather than rename them myself.  Does anyone have an idea on how to change this setting?  Or any other ideas to make this process easier?

    Hi melrogotzke,

    In Outlook 2010, when you click on the tab 'Adobe PDF' there is an option "change Conversion settings.

    In the present, uncheck the option "Output Adobe PDF portfolio when creating a new PDF file".

    You can now select the mails in outlook and convert to PDF and all selected emails would get combined into a single pdf file.

  • How can I recover my Skype conversation to my Android phone text messages

    Hello, I deleted by mistake some conversation of text messages important Skype from my Android phone, I really need to get their feedback, suggestions?

    Sorry to hear and which is the common problem with most Skype users. In earlier versions, you are able to get the history of cats in the sqlite database, but he was no longer supported in the new version.

    As a general rule, all messages are stored in a local database file and if you find out, then it is very possible to restore deleted messages. Take a look at this tutorial (recover sms of android phone), which, I want to recover deleted files on my Android phone.

    Not sure if it works in this case, but it's worth a try if the messages of significance.

  • In a table - looping through the rows and the stored procedure call

    APEX version: 3.2.0.00.27

    Hello

    I searched the forum and tried a few things but could not make it work.

    I have a tabular presentation, developed with the help of the ATD (Cascading LOV - method of tabular presentation - AJAX - ATD )

    What I'm trying to do now:
    -After submit and validations, loop through all the lines and
    -call a stored procedure passing 3 parameters obtained from each of the lines on the form of tables. This procedure will be an update of a database table.

    On the forum, I found that I could do the loop "* FOR i IN 1..." APEX_APPLICATION.g_f03. "LOOP COUNT *" syntax.

    Only for testing purposes, I tried just to view information with the following (On Load - after a footer) process (example of Denes Kubicek == > http://deneskubicek.blogspot.com/2009/05/execute-javascript-throuhg-plsql.html):
    declare
      v_today  varchar2 (200);
    begin
    --  :P40_test := APEX_APPLICATION.g_f03(1);
    --  :P40_test2 := APEX_APPLICATION.g_f04.COUNT;
      :P40_test2 := 100;
    
      v_today := to_char (sysdate, 'dd.mm.yyyy');
    
    --FOR i IN 1.. APEX_APPLICATION.g_f03.COUNT LOOP 
    
      :P40_test := APEX_APPLICATION.g_f02(2);
    
      HTP.p ('<script type="text/javascript">');
      HTP.p (   'alert(''Today is '
              || v_today
    --          || APEX_APPLICATION.g_f04(APEX_APPLICATION.g_f03(i))
              || '.\n'
              || 'end!'');'
             );
      HTP.p ('</script>');
    
    --    :P40_test := APEX_APPLICATION.g_f02(APEX_APPLICATION.g_f02(i));
    
    --END LOOP;
    
    end;
    The foregoing would give me a ' * ORA-01403: no data found * ' message. I tried through various variants of APEX_APPLICATION.g_f0* #*, but still can't get anything to display correctly. In commenting on all the lines referring to APEX_APPLICATION.g_f0x above, the date would be are they displayed fine.

    I tried uncomment the FOR... LOOP and play with the code (defining the process runs "On submit - after calculations" and Validations), I got was a ' * ORA-06502: PL/SQL: digital error or value: character conversion number error * "message.

    Here is the script of the form in a table:
    select 
    "V"."MSLINK",                                       -- hidden (number)
    "V"."INSTALLATION_DATE",                        -- editable date picker

    Thank you

    Hi, Tan,

    I have not seen that type of object - I've only used custom types for purposes of test years ago and have never used their within Apex!

    One possibility is that the value of checksum being is based on all of the content of these fields, rather than only the part of the FEATURE. If there are other parts of the object, you could include those items as well.

    Otherwise, as you f01 KP for a record, you will need to retrieve the values of the FUNCTION in your PL/SQL code directly from the table (because the user cannot modify these fields, you can be sure that the values in the table will be still valid).

  • Unable to get list of msg sender true column. All are the same in messages from yahoo groups

    38.4 TB. I noticed then receive messages from groups of yahoo which I agree with in the list of TB message column is the same for all messages (group name - e.g. [email protected]) whicg is also the name of the recipient. So it is impossible to say who posted the message. I tried the 3rd party add-on "does not show the address ' but add the @sender column has exactly the same thing.
    I tried my old version of TB 2.0.0.24 on the same profile and message folder and this correctly displays the original sender.
    I do not know what header field to TB last gets the info From (sender) where what rules he applies for the calculation, but it is clearly not working as old tuberculosis that renders correctly the list of messages.
    It looks like the old TB gets form From (sender) X origin of the header field.
    I think that new TB must be changed or the user to give very minimal additional choices through message list columns.
    This is a show-stopper for me and I had to go back to to 2.0.0.24 so yahoo group message listss appear correctly.

    Access your address book and find where you saved this group. Then remove the name that you have registered with this group.
