Google Talk and iChat Simultaneously

I want to use Google Talk without losing my iChat A/V, ie; Jabber List plus Buddy List. I setup Google Talk in iChat via Jabber, and tried to run it beside my iChat account, but got locked out of AIM because I was 'overusing the server'. I had to deactivate the GT Account (Jabber) to regain my iChat account. Is it not possible to have both? Or is there another solution for VOiP with the Windows world?

IMac Intel Core Duo, Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Hi Joe,

Welcome to the Apple Discussions


Not quite sure what you mean here.

iChat has three Buddy Lists.

The AIM (Main "Buddy List")
The Bonjour one (if you have other Macs)
The Jabber one. (includes GoogleTalk as you say)

The AIM and the Jabber ones require that you log in to different servers.

The only problem I can envisage is if you have set the Jabber account up with using a Transport back to your AIM name.

Having said that you are in Abu Dhabi and this may be what the local ISP is saying about your usage.
The Middle Eastern ISPs have issues all of their own normally centered around "Security"
