Assign new default RSS reader in Mountain Lion

How do I change the default RSS reader under Mountain Lion and Safari 6?
Removing the configuration preference from Safari 6 was a BAD IDEA!
Anyway, any help will be deeply appreciated.  Thanks.

Use whatever RSS reader you prefer from the very many that currently exist. Find them at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads . You can also find them on the Mac App Store. A good one is NetNewsWire 3.3.2. It's also free.

  • Set Default RSS Reader in Mountain Lion???

    So now that Mail & Safari dont have default RSS readers support, how does one change what was previously set?  Somehow the program "Socialite" has been set as my default RSS Feed reader.  I do NOT want to use this program for RSS feeds but cannot seem to find a way to change the default association.

  • Where is RSS reader in mountain lion

    After updating to Mountain Lion, am unable to read google news. Message states no RSS reader.

    User/Library>Music>Audio Music Apps>Sampler instruments.
    Give it a try, I'm not clear about what you're trying to achieve.  I personally don't have hardly more than a few "samples" that I have edited in EXS24.  So then I just import them from those projects when I want to use them in new projects.
    There are much more knowledgable peeps than me, and I imagine your problem can be solved!

    As the others have stated, you're on Mountain Lion with 10.8, anything. But you can check your version of the software by going to the apple in the upper left corner of the screen and clicking it and selecting "About This Mac". That will open a box that shows your software version. Once there you can click on "More Info" that will tell you everything about your specific mac configuration.

  • For all like me who have been fooled by rss disapearing in Mountain Lion Mail

    I have read lots of threads regarding the discontinued support of RSS feeds in Mountain Lion Mail, but unfortunately, after I have installed Moutain Lion (I am really angry with Apple not to have communicate on this point and to have discover it at the end of the install!).
    So, after reading a lot on the subject, here's what I have made to get back everything I needed.
    First, I wanted to get all my saved articles back. For this I have gone in ~Library>Mail>V2>RSS> (you have to show hidden files) Here you have the list of your old rss mailboxes. Select the ones you want to restore and drop them into a folder that's not hidden (in a folder on your desktop for example) because you won't be able to see this folder in the file selection window in the next step.
    Then go to Mail->File->Import mailboxes
    Select "Apple Mail". Then go to the folder previously created and select all the .mbox files you moved in.
    Now you will have a new mail box with all imported subfolders and alle your saved articles. You can then rearrange them as you like.
    Now, to renew your feeds subscriptions, you have no other choice than to use another rss app. And to find all your feeds links, go to ~Library>Mail>V2>RSS> or the folder previously created and in each .mbox open the info.plist file. In each file look for the string in front of "RSSFeedURLString", double click on it and copy and paste it in your new rss reader.
    It's not a clean solution, it's quite long (mainly for the import of rss feeds in the new reader), it forces to have old saved articles in mail and new ones in the new app, but that's the only solution I have found.
    If anyone has a better one, I think lots of us will appreciate.
    PS: please accept my apologies if everything is not clear, as English is not my mother tongue

    I wrote one to integrate with Mountain Lion's notifications. The iPad version is not yet available. You can download it from: http://www.etresoft.com/etrefeed

    I just noticed I have to run spell check when leaving a post here. The old Safari would automatically redline misspelled words.
    Seems that they are taking many things away when we upgrade- don't understand.
    That is a function of the forum software. Safari 6 has nothing to do with it.

  • Hard drive packed up, but had Time Machine backup. I installed new sad and upgraded to Mountain Lion., but I can't find iPhoto library and photos or iTunes songs? Is there an answer to this?  Graham

    Hard drive packed up, but had Time Machine backup. I installed new ssd and upgraded to Mountain Lion, but I can't find iPhoto library and photos or iTunes songs? Is there an answer to this?  A backup run did not install either photos or songs. Graham

    Thanks so much but none of that helped.  It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive.  I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
    Thank you for your help and replying to this.  Guess I made my own issue!

    If the new desktop came with Mountain Lion already installed, you will have to purchase it separately for your portable. If you purchased ML for the desktop, you do not need to pay for it again.

    You need Pages 09 (Version 4) to take advantage of Mountain Lion's iCloud features. You don't say what version you have.

  • Default RSS reader option

    What does the preference in both Safari > Prefs > RSS > Default RSS reader and Mail > Prefs > RSS > Default RSS reader do?
    Until now I've been doing all my RSS in Safari, which is OK but not stellar.
    Now that Mail supports RSS in 10.5, I'm experimenting with it there. But as far as I can tell, RSS feeds that are subscribed to in either app seem to get updated in either app. So what does the "default RSS feed" do?

    Hi
    When you open (expand) an RSS feed in either Safari or Mail, either Safari will go to the actual page (if set as the default), or a specific RSS Reader will open.
