Bookmarks Bar Can't Do RSS Feed Maths!

Hi,
In my Bookmarks Bar I have a folder called RSS Feeds. Within that I have 6 sub-folders. Each folder contains bookmarks to RSS feeds. The problem I'm having is that Safari isn't particuarly accurate at adding up my unread RSS feed items count. For example, right now it says (2) on the Bookmarks Bar, and it says (2) next to one of the sub-folders, which is good. But then, inside that sub-folder, there is no (2) or (1)s next to any of the feeds I've subscribed to.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is it just a fact that you shouldn't use nested folders for RSS feeds?

A good solution to this problem is actually to use NetNewsWire instead of Safari's RSS reader.
NetNewsWire is an excellent free Mac OS X RSS reader. I'm really satisfied with it. Now I get an accurate unread count in the Dock (I know Mail can do that). But the best part is that it auto syncs my RSS feeds with NewsGator online, meaning that if I read RSS feeds on my iPod Touch, my iMac knows about, and vice-versa.

Can I get RSS feeds on iPod Touch?

I was on a site, and clicked on their RSS link (in .xml format), and Safari said something about the link being invalid.
So is there a way to check a sites' RSS feed on the Touch?

Maybe the link really was invalid. I suggest you try some other feeds.
There's an online feed reader at reader.mac.com. You're supposed to be able to enter the feed url directly into the Safari title bar and reader.mac.com will display it in the browser window. I've tried it with a number of feeds, with no problems. I then bookmarked the feeds and put them in a separate bookmarks folder (called "Feeds").
As far as I can see, there doesn't seem to be a way of telling whether a feed contains unread items.
I had been using the mobile version of Google Reader as my feed reader on the touch. It works pretty well but I'd like to find an alternative, mainly because I don't use Google Reader on my desktop/notebook (too much AJAX for my taste).
I like reader.mac.com but some way of telling which feeds contain unread items, before you open the feed, would be a definite improvement.

How can I transfer RSS feeds from one PC to another?

I have an old laptop using WinXP with Firefox installed and a significant number of RSS feed tabs.
I have a new laptop using Win7 Home Premium 64-bit with Firefox installed. I now want to copy the collection of RSS feeds on my old laptop to my new laptop.
Thank you!

You can backup the bookmarks to an HTML file and import that file in the new laptop.<br />
You will have to remove the unwanted bookmarks and only keep or copy/move the RSS feed bookmarks to the folder where you want them.

RSS - Live bookmark failed to load - Firefox, RSS feeds not updating

I am new to this forum, and I figure this has been covered before. However, I'm not finding an answer.
I have a Beehive workspace and go to Recent Activity to subscribe to the RSS feed. When using Firefox, I am prompted for my username and password. The RSS feed works until I quit Firefox. After restarting Firefox, I get the "Live bookmark failed to load" message.
If I try to access the feed with Safari, I have the option to enter my username and password, and then save that info in my keychain. I'm trying to determine if the reason the RSS feed isn't updating because of some authentication problem.
People using Internet Explorer have also reported problems with Beehive workspace RSS feeds not updating, so I'm trying to find a solution.
Not providing reliable RSS feeds is slowing down adoption of our workspace, and people aren't wanting to use the workspace until I've resolved the RSS issue.
Can you point me to a solution or to information on how to resolve the RSS updating issues.
Thanks.

HI,
The RSS feed is password protected as you have to be an authenticated user to access the complete system. The issue seems to be in the browser - if it does not trigger a check for username/password and then prompt if not set there is a li9mited amount we can do.
We are working on getting the subscriptions inside beehive working which will generate notifications but that will not be available for a week or so.

I want to make the adress bar smaller so that my bookmark bar can show more than three icons when placed on the same row.

I want to have about five to ten bookmark icons in the same row as the search and address bar. So i use Customize... and I put the bookmark bar on the same line. I leave the "Name"-textbox in every bookmark blank so that only the icons appear.
However, only two icons appear and the rest are displayed in a drop down menu from an arrow you click.
I don't need the address bar to take 70% of the screen. I don't want the bookmark bar to use an extra row. I just want to have five to ten bookmark icons next to my address and search bar. Is this possible?

What do you mean with "Save passwords" checkbox?
Is that box provided by an extension?

How can I export RSS feeds from Mail?

I've tried this command line apporach from http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20080319094830396 but it olny lists some of my RSS feed urls (and the output-to-web-browser version dosn't work at all -perhaps cause I've Snow Leopard 10.6.4?)
Is there any other solution?
Thanks.

I had to manually 'export' (copy and paste) the RSS feeds by:
Opening an RSS feed 'message' in Mail and then selecting View/Message/Raw Source from the Mail menu bar and then finding url details tagged with "X-Mail-Rss-Source-Url:" and then cpoy and paste them to TextEdit. Loads of fun!
_Tip: Don't use Mail for RSS feeds- ever._ Even if you only have a few feeds. When, overtime your feed list inevitably grows, it is a real pain to move those feeds to a dedicated RSS feed reader.
Use an RSS reader from the very start (like http://www.vienna-rss.org/ or http://netnewswireapp.com/ )

Can I view rss feeds on my Ipad from mail on my mac

I have all my mail accounts set up on my Ipad but I am not able to view the RSS feeds that are set up in my mail account on my macbook. Is there any way to view these on my Ipad or another device?

I don't know about iPad Mail, but there are numerous RSS feed viewers you can download from the app store such as NetNewsWire, for example.

Can I shorten RSS feeds to force users to go to my site?

If the RSS feed includes all the text of the blog post; then users won't have to visit my site to read the rest of the blog. And they won't click on my ads...
How can I change this? Can I?

Can't see RSS feeds in Mail

I've subscribed to a couple of RSS feeds in Mail (multiple times because it doesn't seem to be taking) and I'm not seeing anything about RSS in my sidebar. Is there a trick to getting them to show up and being able to read them within Mail?

OK... Back again - this is driving me crazy. I see SEVERAL posts of people having the same issues as me, but I do not see any real answers (in posts, Apple support, or just plain Google).
I do have more information though:
I now have the issue that RSS feeds either stop updating, update and bring back several old posts that I have already deleted (and cleared from the deleted messages), and RSS links disappearing and RSS showing an error (~) next to it, and finally the RSS section disappearing altogether.
I have read some suggestions to go into Finder and delete the SubPubAgent.plist file under the user directory (done that, now it has not reappeared), and to Quit the SubPubAgent process in Activity Monitor, and restart Mail (Have done this SEVERAL times, and it seems to "change" things, but doesn't fix anything). The one thing here that seems to throw up a red flag is that the SubPubAgent process shows 3 threads, and when things are going ok, it looks like it has a Virtual Memory usage of ~30MB - when things go haywire the Virtual Memory shoots up to just under 600MB, at which point I will have received the several old posts, feeds stop updating, or all the feeds just go away in the middle of my session. This 600MB Virtual Memory amount seems to be a limit that something dealing with RSS feeds is "trying" to exceed, and Mail cant handle it. But no matter how many times I try to delete messages to bring things down, they just keep coming back the next time I restart Mail.
ANY suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any support, and take care!

How Can I Block RSS Feed Ads?

In often "View All RSS Feeds" in a folder I've made of my favorite sites. I'm getting tired of dealing all the ads that are strewn between the RSS feed stories. The are not popups, they are imbedded in the list of RSS feeds. Is there anyway to prevent this?

Hello j:
The ads are probably coming from one of the RSS sites you have set up. I have only two RSS feed sites and never get what you describe. Start deleting some of the sites and see what happens.

How can I add RSS feeds to Mail in Mountain Lion?

There is no longer an option in mail in the File menu, to add RSS feeds to Mail. When I am in Safari and click on the "Reader" button it gives me directions to go to mail, and click "Add RSS Feed" in the File menu but that option is not there when I am in Mail. Any suggestions?

Safari 2.0.4 can't detect RSS feed from my site.

Good Day!
This morning I craeted and posted a short Podcast. It is located at:
www.debbierosemyers.com/resources
There is a link to the Podcast called Podcasts. When I click the link, it opens in Safari as tons of text. I cannot get it to download as anything but a text file.
When I open it in Netscape, the file downloads to my desktop and open in iTunes with no problem. My friend was also able to download it from a Windows based machine as well using Explorer. I seems to work in Firfox as well.
I just can't figure out if I created the file incorrectly or if there is somehting in Safari that I have set wrong. Can someone help me out?
Thanks!

took me a second to figure out what you were asking...plus your posted link was missing some pieces.
Anyway, you have a link to an .m4a audio file. Browsers have a set of file extension associations that tell the browser what to do when it comes across a specific file type...prompt you to download it, open another application, etc... In your browser there should be a preferences or settings area, look for something called MIME Types or File Types...most likely the .m4a file type either doesn't have anything associated with it, it's set improperly or its not in there at all.

Editing Bookmark Names for RSS Feeds

I can edit the names of all my bookmarks EXCEPT those associated with RSS Feeds. I'm not talking URLs, of course, just the aliases. Some of them are longer than I prefer and I'd like to shorten them, but clicking to edit the Bookmark name doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Hi Peter
Are you attempting to edit the RSS bookmark name via the feed found in the "All RSS Feeds" collection? If so, that won't work.
Rather, you ought to be editing the actual RSS bookmark found in either the Bookmarks Bar or Bookmarks Menu collections. Single clicking on the name ought to open the editor. Those collections are found in your Bookmark Manager (command/option/B keys).
