Check System Preferences:

- iCloud is activated on both machines, you are logged in with the same ID.

Preferences in Messages app:

- There is an account with the Apple ID, and it is enabled.

- Under "You can be reached for messages at:" is at least the Apple ID and it is checked.

- Equivalent for Gtalk.

- Under General tab, "Default IM app", it's Messages.app.

Hi,


The app is called Messages.


iMessages is what the iMessage account can do to other Apple ID and iPhone numbers.


The GoogleTalk or jabber account is nothing to do with iMessages.


In iChat 4 and 5 (I can not check 3 at the moment where Jabber was added) the iChat app had the same Priority as the Web Login to Google had.


This means the Server at Google could not decide which login should get the IMs.

It would tend to default to the Last login.


The Messages app lets you set the priority for the App

Lower numbers are "better" in that they get the messages first.

You can then set up different priorities for your home computer, work computer and phone so that one will override the other so that you are never out of contact.


I would check the priorities used in Pidgin, Adium and Messages on both computers.
