Can't' subscribe to RSS feed in my wiki?!?!

I am not really sure what is going on. I have a few wiki's set up and there is on (users must log in to read) that won't allow users to subscribe to the rss feed. When you click on the subscribe icon, it just freezes. I even tried manually subscribing by typing the feed address into Apple Mail, but it still didn't work. It did prompt me for the username and password, but it gets an error and there is no feed. What am I missing?

I have the same problem. My Wiki runs as a SSL secured site. The docs state:
"If you enable SSL, you must create a duplicate non-SSL site that redirects requests for podcasts or RSS feeds to the SSL site."
However I do this.
And, I don't understand why it's not possible to subscribe to a https:// secured RSS feed.

N900 won´t subscribe to rss feeds

hi guys,
the rss feed reader refuses to download any rss feeds. neither the two pre-installed ones, nor any other. once, i managed to download an opml file on my phone and using that i was able to physically add a new rss feed which however contained no posts and failed to update. all the other times pressing "subscribe to rss feed" in the browser opens the reader and after approving by pressing the "done" button it tries to connect to the feed for 1-2 min without success.
any suggestions?
thanks in advance!

actually most of the feeds don´t show up in the list. when i add one in the browser im asked in which folder it should go and need to confirm by pressing "done". after doing so the phone tries to connect to the feed but always without success. after 1 or 2 min it returns to the previous screen (choose folder and confirm by "done" button). that is, the feed is never added to the list in the first place.
when i store the opml file on the phone and open it via rss-browse i can add a feed from the file to the list but it is marked with "!" indicating the connection error although the url is correct.

Subscribe to RSS Feed - Bing Wallpaper

Hi -
I just downloaded iPhoto from the app store for Mac OS X Lion and I would like to subscribe to the bing rss wallpaper feed. I found the link http://themeserver.microsoft.com/default.aspx?p=Bing&c=Desktop&m=en-US and when I put that into the subscribe to RSS feed option in iPhoto it sets it up, but it will only download the first 5 images in the feed. It shows spots for another 143 images, but they are just boxes. I'm trying to set that up so I can rotate through the images as desktop wallpaper. Any suggestions/help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
PS - Are there any other feeds similar to what Bing offers that work well with iPhoto?

I couldn't get any photos to load in iPhoto, but it did show that there were 50+ items. I think it has to do with the way the RSS feed puts the images in enclosures. If you view such a feed in Google Reader, it wont show the pictures either, only links to the images.
So I solved my problem, which was using the images from the themeserver feed as my wallpaper, but I also use Parallels and subscribe to the feed on my Windows 7 Theme.
The Windows 7 theme stores the images in a Temporary Internet Files folder, mine was at c:\users\(username)\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Enclosure\
On the Mac side I opened my Parallels PVM package and drilled down to that location, then created an alias to that folder and put it under my Mac Pictures folder for easy finding.
Then in Sys Prefs I set this alias folder as my folder for Wallpaper images and set auto rotation.
It works ok since I run parallels, but relies on me running the VM to refresh the images.
If someone else finds a way to get the images to show in iPhoto I'd be interested. Or find a way to cache feed images (in the feed format Themserver uses) to a local folder would work too.

How do I subscribe to RSS feeds and manage RSS feeds?

I can't figure out how to subscribe to RSS feeds and manage RSS feeds?

Hi TedEvansJr,
Subscribing to a feed is pretty easy in Firefox. Just take a look at [http://kb.mozillazine.org/RSS:_Live_Bookmarks_overview_%28Firefox%29 this article] and you should be ready to go.
Hopefully this helps!

How can I get my RSS feeds to show up on my iOS devices from iCloud?

How can I get my RSS feeds to show up on my iOS devices from iCloud? The RSS feeds now show up just fine on my iMac.
On my iMac the appear in a category at the same level as In Box, Sent, etc. However the term RSS is in lighter grey like Mailboxes, On My Mac, Reminders. I use Snow Leopard 10.7.5. Any help will be appreciated as I'd like to read the feeds on my iPad 2 and iPhone 5 when I'm away from home.
Thank you.

This is helpful, but how do you get both devices to communicate to this single calendar via the iCloud?...
You did not mention that it must be through iCloud. But then, it can't really do so if you want to maintain separate Apple IDs.
So you just set up an additional calendar on your devices.
iPads, iPhone, Macs can show multiple calendars simultaneously. I have my work calendar and several personal calendars all showing simultaneously on my iPad, Mac Mini and Macbook Pro. In the case of my client, they didn't need multiple calendars. They just were going to use the one shared calendar. But I did setup the shared Google calendar and separate personal caldendars on their iPhones. (e.g.: Husband's iPhone = husband's personal Mac Cal + shared Google Calendar. Wife's iPhone = wife's personal Outlook for Windows Cal + shared Google Calendar.)

Can you add an RSS feed on an iweb blog that would allow visitors to receive new entries by email?

Can you add an RSS feed on an iweb blog that would allow visitors to receive new blog entries through their email?

RSS feeds don't do that - if they add the feed to an RSS reader (including Safari or FireFox) they will see new updates every time they check: but sending them emails on each added episode would require extra programming in the actual program, which iWeb doesn't provide. You would need to have a mailing list and send out an email manually each time you add an episode.

How Can I delete an RSS Feed in iTunes/podcasts?

I have an old rss feed that I want deleted in itunes. I have created a new rss feed and it's up and working great. I want the old one deleted.
I have used "Report a Concern" and asked itunes to delete the old feed, but nothing has happened. so I went to the files and renamed them all and re-pinged the page so itunes would realize that the feed no longer works, but that hasn't work either. I've searched the forum but can't seem to find out how to have itunes delete the old podcast feed.
Any ideas?
I realize that I should have done this a different way, but I didn't know that then... I do now.

Just to confirm that you originally had a podcast accepted in the iTunes Store, and now you have had a second version accepted with a different Store URL? The procedure you have followed is the correct one, though I don't know how long it's likely to take the Store staff to get round to removing it. Just remove the original feed from the server: it will still show in the Store, which has cached it, but obviously subscribing won't work, and the absence of the feed may encourage the Store staff to remove the Store page.

Subscribing to RSS feeds?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but with Safari RSS you can SUBSCRIBE to different website RSS feeds, so when they add something new to their rss feed I should automatically get some sort of message saying that their is something new in my Safari RSS or something like that right? I'm having trouble subscribing. for instance I want to subscribe to www.emericaskate.com/news . When i go to that site I click on the RSS Icon located in the box where I type in the website, but it seems like it only reads the RSS Feed and doesnt give me a subscription to it. Any help? I am probably just overlooking something very basic and just need a helping hand.

Ryan, Welcome to the discussion area!
Probably should ask Safari questions in the Safari discussion area.
In that area, I found the Mac 101: Safari which has a section discussing RSS feeds.

I am not able to subscribe to RSS feeds or bookmark pages

I was having trouble with my version 3 of Firefox originally. I couldn't open it because it was saying it was still running. I found the correction to that problem (something about deleting a "parent" file) only after I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. When I uninstalled Firefox I sadly lost all of my RSS feeds and bookmarks. When I reinstalled it I was updated to Firefox 4. Since that time I have not been able to subscribe to any RSS Feeds or bookmark any pages. I am completely and utterly frustrated. Please help!

I hope it works out for you. A couple of comments.
Apple does not have a way to restrict searches on safari. It just is not there. But if you search the app store for parental control, you will find at least 1 browser that does. You can use that as your normal browser, and bury safari in a folder somewhere where the kiddies wont easily find it. Read the reviews, and see if it does what you want.
As respects purchases, remember that when you make a purchase, your password remains active for 15 min. I have been reading the posts here for over a year, and there is a continued stream of folks who download an innocent free app, hand the pad to the kids, and find the invoice the next day for $200 worth of smuf berries or some such nonsense. Keep eyes open.

I can't find my RSS feeds

Hi all,
I recently got a MBP and using time machine, I switched my profile from my iMac 21.5 to the new system. It changed my username to "username1".
The first thing I noticed was that my RSS feeds were missing as the new iMail does not support RSS feeds. No problem, it's easy to locate the RSS file-at least I thought so.
I went into Time Machine, into the backup, went to this directory: /users/*username*/library/mail/v2/RSS- only to find that it doesn't exist and that all files under my old username are locked out.
So I guess I have two questions.
1: How do I get my old RSS feeds so I don't have to go through that process of subscribing all over again?
2: Do I have to change my username back to my old one? If so, how do I go about doing this without affecting any of my files/protect the files I've already created on my new MBP?
Gah!
Thanks so much for the help!

I just came across this link and am very happy to find it! http://www.macgasm.net/2012/07/30/tip-find-your-deleted-rss-feeds-in-mountain-li ons-mail-app/ It provides the code so you can at least get your list of feeds back if you used Mail for your RSS feed reader.
My question now is; what should I use instead of Mail as my feed reader? I don't know what programs actually do this.

Subscribe or RSS Feed From Thread: What's the Differen

What's the difference between subscribing to a thread and getting an RSS feed on it's?? I'm assuming subscribing to the thread is what happens when one selects "E-mail me if someone replies to this thread."? Is that right?On Internet Explorer v7, when I click?"Favorites" I get a list of RSS feeds but I don't know what they do or what to do with them.

Subscribing is done on the forum, and you can be notified by e-mail when there is a response to a thread. It will also show you your subscriptions on the front page of the forum, when you're logged in.
For more information on RSS feeds, check it's Wikipedia article. You'll need a feed reader if you want to use the RSS feeds.

How can I include the article text/body in the RSS feed of the wiki updates section?

I recently migrated from Snow Leopard Server to Lion Server. Largely, because some people had trouble accessing via their PC under SLS.
Our primary tool is the wiki.
In Snow Leopard Server, we could generate an RSS feed for specific saved searches or recent changes/updates, adjust article length in the RSS feed, etc. Using a feed burner, like Feed My Inbox, we were able to have a daily digest "emailed" to a mailing list. Whereby, we'd get an email of any wiki articles that had changed, along with text from the body, so we can see the changes to the article in the email.
With Lion Server, the only RSS "feed" we can find appears to be on the Updates page. Which is fine. Are there others?
Second, the we can't seem to change the article "length" at all. All we see on the Updates feed is the title, change date, who made the change. We used to be able to see a few sentences of the article body/text for each article...not just the title, but some of the changes.
Of course, our feed burner, now only sends along the article title in the digest...no text beyond that.
We've used the built in push notification in Lion Server, but again, that sends a nice email saying Wiki Article Title "X" has been modified by User "Y" with the date/time stamp. You can click the link to read more, but no article /body is sent.
Is there a way to generate an RSS feed/link that shows not just the recent updated titles, but the first few lines of text in the article body itself in the index/summary?
I appear to be missing an easy way to generate RSS feeds, based on search criteria. And changing the article length in the sidebar, to max, never seems to show any of the wiki article.
How can I show a portion of the wiki article body/text underneath the title of the article in the RSS feed in Lion Server? Not just the article title and changed date?

About a month ago, I spend zillion hours to migrate from Eudora to Mail.
Eudora has been wonderful to me since Day 1 back in the early 90's. But, it has been discontinued as a commercial product. I had used the Japanese version of Eudora for several years, but it did not like communicating with Exchange at work.
I tried and tried various email clients before settling on Mail.
When I pictured interactions among my Mac, iPhone, and whatever email client I choose, Mail was just the simplest way. But, Mail is not Eudora. And, I dearly miss Eudora.
If there is no way to alter the contents of received email in Mail, I would have to adopt your approach on a case-by-case basis.
Thanks for your help, though.

How can I use an RSS feed in my course?

The University System of Georgia goes to considerable effort to provide its 36 institutions with a content management system that auto-generates RSS feeds, including iTunes U-specific tags. We use it to feed content to our iTunes U public sites as well as in many other venues such as our statewide LMS. These RSS feeds also work nicely with the authenticated side of iTunes U which some faculty still use to support their classes.
So why is it that I cannot use an RSS feed in my all new iTunes U course?

Just to confirm that you originally had a podcast accepted in the iTunes Store, and now you have had a second version accepted with a different Store URL? The procedure you have followed is the correct one, though I don't know how long it's likely to take the Store staff to get round to removing it.

RSS - can't load any RSS feed

I use RSS daily. This afternoon it stopped working. My feeds stopped getting updated, and then I realized I cannot load any RSS feed in Safari.
If for example I try:feed://www.apple.com/main/rss/hotnews/hotnews.rss, I just see a blank safari window, and at the bottom it says... "contacting www.apple.com". It never times out with an error message. It just doesn't seem to be able to get the feed. This is true for all of my feeds, and any new ones I try to view.
RSS works normally in other accounts on my computer, so the problem is local to my account.
I have seen others post here with similar problems, but I can't find any answers for my issue. Anyone have any suggestions?

OK, Looks like I solved my problem. I am posting what I did here in case it helps anyone else with the same problem.
Over at Mac OSX Hints, I found the following post: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20070916123611119
-x- snip -x-
+"I have experienced this problem several times in the past few years, both on a G4 PowerBook and Intel iMac. For no reason, Safari will stop updating my RSS feed counts in the Bookmarks bar. RSS still functions and will update whenever a particular feed is selected, but the parenthetical numbers for each feed or folder do not change.+
+The fix is simple and doesn't hurt any of your RSS subscriptions. Just quit Safari, remove the Database3 file located in ~/Library » Syndication, and then launch Safari again. I move mine to the Desktop and trash it only after I've successfully restarted Safari and confirmed the problem is fixed. Safari will create a new file in its place.+
+Easy enough, but I've never seen it anywhere else online, and have forgotten it myself a few times."+
-x- snip -x-
So I followed this and moved the database3 file out of the ->Library->Syndication folder, restarted Safari, and now RSS seems to be working normally.
By the way, instead of deleting the database3 file,I just moved it to the desktop, until I can confirm that everything is working correctly, and I will delete it later.
Hope this is of some help to you if you are having similar RSS problems in Safari.
