Hi,


As a Jabber/Google Talk account within Messages or as an Apple ID ?


If it is as a Jabber account you may need to get her to go to a Web Login and check the Name it shows.

Google tend to have either @googlemail.com or @gmail.com IDs and in iChat or Messages this can make a difference.


Also Messages logs in with SSL and Google have deemed this "Less Secure"

You have to Log in on a Web Page (I always use the Google Mail one)

Top right is your (or her) Google ID in full.

Clicking and holding this gives you some options.

One of these is Account

The chose Security

Scroll down a bit and enable "Allow Less Secure" Apps to allow SSL Logins.


IF she is using a Google Mail ID as an Apple ID then she should be using a different password for that compared to the one used with Google itself.

Make sure you have the "right" password.
