As I'm sure some of you know, Google had in favor of Hangouts a bit ago, however it was still working for the most part in Messages.app. I just upgraded one of my workstations to the GM today, and it looks like all 3rd party chat has been removed from Messages.app. Jabber is still there, but seems to only be the MacOS server flavor. Even Bonjour is gone.

I'd installed a few of the betas before, but never on a system that had any of my accounts setup, so I didn't notice this change. What was odd, is that the account was still there and and showed as online, but when I tried to reply to someone, it gave me an error message saying the service wasn't available (or something along those lines). I ended up having to delete the the Google accounts in Internet Accounts, and add them back to get the broken jabber GTalk accounts to disappear.

Hangouts worked great a week ago. Same hardware. Same browser. Same everything. Except I kept getting prompted to upgrade to High Sierra and finally did it and now hangouts and chrome are laggy as hell and I can't communicate with my colleagues. It's a bit bizarre that the OS upgrade would nerf my entire browser.

Also of note. Hangouts work fine with no lag on the same wifi when I'm using chrome on my fully upgraded windows 10 computer. Perhaps this is some of the supposed 'planned obsolescence' for old macbooks?

Like Lieutenant Commander Data, the Office for Mac 2011 trial is fully functional, but only for 30 days. Microsoft office free trial 2018.

Looks like an apple problem. I will explain why: 1. Everything was working fine until last night when I upgraded the OS on my home Macs.

No one else in my office on Windows 7 Professional has any issues talking to each other. Now, in GChat, I cannot see them on my windows machine. They can see me. But I do not get their messages. Avast security pro for mac trial.

I have a 'home picture (in my civvies' for GChat on my Macs. The same picture is now stuck on my Windows Gchat.

I canot revert back to my 'office picture.' My buddies have vanished from all my Mac machines. Apple Footer • This site contains user submitted content, comments and opinions and is for informational purposes only.
