Hi dwarf2008,
First of all you need to subscribe to a web feed. Contact bar web feeds can be found from contacts in the contact bar. Select a Contact > Web feeds. If you don't have web feeds yet, select Options > New feed > Give the necessary info > Options > Save.
Hope this cleared the matter but please ask if you have more questions.

Bookmark bar RSS feeds randomly display only a drop shadow, no menu

Ok, I have an odd issue that just started occurring after an OS reload. When viewing my RSS feed pull-downs from the bookmark bar, they'll often-times open up 100% transparent, the only thing visible being the drop-shadow that surrounds it. The menu still works; I can still click things and it will bring up the page, but since I can't see what it is, I have no clue what I'm clicking. I can get it to be visible again by closing and re-opening the pull-down (sometimes takes a couple tries).
Nothing has changed with my browser profile since I last reloaded windows. I reloaded Windows (7 64-bit) once because my secondary HDD controller crashed on me and I reloaded windows thinking there was a faulty driver stuck in the OS (that and to get rid of the extra junk from the past several years), but later found the motherboard was going bad, so I replaced it and reloaded again (primary is 2x SSD Raid 0). I'm now running that second reload and loaded my profile the same way as before and I'm getting the issue.
To save and load the profile I did the following: FireFox menu > Help > Troubleshooting Information > Show Folder (Profile folder) then closed FF and copied the entire contents of the folder to a backup directory. Reloading the profile was the same process but copying the files back to the profile folder after closing FF. I did this on the first reload as well and had no issues, but for some reason I'm running into it now. Seems to occur more during heavy file transfer loads (such as copying from USB HDD to SSD raid). Not actually sure if that's related or not though.
Anyway, any ideas why this might be occurring?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
*Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

Try to disable transparency in Windows.<br />
Right click in a free space on your desktop.<br />
Left click on Personalization.<br />
There are four options at the bottom of the screen, choose "Window Color and Appearance".<br />

Nokia N97 Mini Contact Bar Web Feed

I see that the X6 contacts bar has a "web feed" option. I read somewhere that the N97 had one too (too bad mine fried). Is there one for the N97 Mini? Can't seem to find this.
Please help!
Thanks!

Hi,
I beleive you are using MS Outlook.
Try the following workaround.
Manual sync
Open Nokia Ovi Suite--> Sync--> Sync option--> Uncheck the sync automatically everytime you connect the device.
Then Sync--> Sync now--> Contact,
Repair the "pst" and the "ost" Outlook files as in the following location.
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\SCANPST.EXE
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\SCANOST.EXE
Right click the above mentioned exe file and 'Run' it.
NOTE
It's adviced to take a back- up of the user's Outlook folders to avoid any loss of information.
Check with Microsoft support pages for more information.

X6 contact rss feeds, how to set them up?

Hi hope someone can help.
Iv just got my nokia x6 16gig, and cant figure out how to set up the facebook rss feed for the contacts on the home screen contact bar.
Hope some one can point me in the right direction.
Tom

i managed to get it working, ended up connecting to the internet all the time, and not disconnecting afterwards but... here's how i did it
i firstly subscribed to my own & friends rss feed on facebook through firefox, it automatically puts the feed links in the bookmarks toolbar.
secondly, in ovi suite, i enabled the bookmarks and webfeeds, and then, updated by going into sync and then choose bookmarks and webfeeds.
it created a new folder in my firefox bookmarks > copied the rss feeds into that folder, and re-synced again..
then added the new feeds to my own and my friends contact card thing on the home screen... by going into the contact card, rss feeds>accept> select the relivant feed...
IT WORKS!
hope this helps, took me ages to do it, but, it works like a charm....

Nokia N8 Contact RSS Feeds

Could someone tell me if the N8 Contacts include
RSS Feeds for the Contact, i.e., Facebook... etc. like the X6?

Anyone have an image of the N8 Contact View?

Unread RSS feeds incorrect in Bookmarks bar

Since moving to 10.5 the RSS feed counts in the bookmarks bar is often incorrect. I can read each feed in the pulldown menu and all the numbers for unread feeds are gone in the pulldown, yet, in the bookmarks bar it will say 1, 2, or 3 still to be read.
To clear that number, I select View All RSS Articles, and the number sets to blank. Also, clicking on a feed that I have read and cleared will often clear the unread number to show nothing.
This does not happen every time, but usually at least once a day.

Update to the unread RSS count:
I have discovered that different RSS feeds sometimes do not show that that there are unread feeds. When I go to reading all RSS feed options, I have looked and find what are the unreads. It is always a feed that had not shown it had unread entries when I opened Safari. It seems to usually occur in the first 4 of the 19 feeds in the menu bar. I can go several days with no problems, then other days it happens almost every time I look.

Facebook feed for xpressmusic 5800 contacts bar

Hi all,
I have some contacts set up on the home screen in the contacts bar. I am trying to use the 'feeds' option for these contacts. I have spent some time today looking at how I could possibly use this feature to add facebook feeds to these contacts. I did manage to get some instructions on how to do it but those were written back in early 2009 and it looks like facebook has made some changes to their feeds/URL links hence those instructions dont work anymore.
Could anyone help me add facebook feed to the contacts on the contacts bar on xpressmusic 5800? Also I wonder if that is actually possible or not. If it is not possible then what other kind of feed Nokia was thinking that could be associated with each contact?
Thanks

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.

I am trying to create a RSS feed from scratch

So I created a button on my home page, and it is linked to this XML file. Everything works great except it only shows the item that I coded in...I want it to show ALL items.
Can I do this without having to input each item individually?
Is this how I should do it anyways with a button linking to this xml file?
I really want to have like 3-5 of the posts to auto update on my home page but I dont know how to embed the RSS into my HTML home page file.
Also, the way I have it coded, will it automatically update the new posts?
or do I have to wait for the new post and input the item into the xml file?
I am very new to the RSS feed so please help.
Thanks,
cp

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.

Nokia X6 RSS feeds error

When I want to enter RSS feeds on Nokia X6, it pops up unknown error. The RSS feeds on the contacts bars stopped responding when I want to add or remove contacts RSS feeds. I really hate this type of stupid Symbian phone, too many bugs! I'm planning to move to Android soon.

Changing RSS feed from Podcast Garden

We mistakenly has Podcast Garden support our RSS feed to itunes. The service is the bare minimum but trying to contact the site owners is impossible.
It makes me wonder why they would offer this free RSS service? Anyway, I am signing up for libsyn and I need to change the feed, I read the tutorials and I can't save the feed change on PodCast garden. Is there another way to change this or do I need to ask itunes to take down the podcast and resubmit with the need RSS feed. I appreciate any advise to can give. Thanks

Please contact me - rob (at) libsyn (dot) com - I can go over your options with you.

When I try to read my rss-feed through yandex service, the browser and the whole system freeze for a significant amount of time. This started with Firefor 5 and is very unpleasant. Thank you in advance.

When I try to download (and especially renew) a page with my rss-feed that I read with Yandex service, the browser freezes, and then the whole system freezes. It typically takes about 5-7 minutes to load a very minimalistic page, and I can't use my browser or my system during that time.
This started with the release of Firefox 5. I use it on Ubuntu. I haven't experienced similar problems with any other websites.
I have already contacted the Yandex team about the matter.
I guess it's just a little weird that one of the Yandex services won't work in Firefox, as Firefox comes with a built-in yandex-bar in many cases. And it sure is frustrating.
Thank you very much and I am looking forward to your reply.

How do I change the way Safari 6.0 uses RSS feeds?

Before I updated my safari to 6.0, I had a button with my RSS-sources in the menu bar in Safari. When I clicked one of the sources it contains, it would open in a new tab (in Safari) the RSS feed for that source.
However, ever since I've updated Safari to 6.0, it opens the RSS feed in Mail (I haven't changed any settings what so ever) in a way that is not handy for me.
In the normal preferences menu, I can't find any way to change RSS settings. And when I use the Help button, and search for RSS, I don't find anything either.
Is there anybody who knows how to solve this problem?
Thanks,
Steven

Thanks for the quick reply.
However, this didn't solve the issue. It puts a button in the menu that helps you save an RRS feed. And when you press this button, Mail opens up to store the feed.
I'd like Safari to open the RSS feeds again, like it used to.

Bookmark Bar RSS Counts Broken after 5.1.4 upgrade

Ever since upgrading to 5.1.4 none of the RSS feeds saved in my bookmarks bar are reporting the new post counts properly.
New posts are not being shown in the bookmarks bar.
After clicking on a feed the count shows up, and then won't be dismissed no matter how many times it is viewed.
If I use "View All RSS Articles" for a folder it clears the bar count, but then all the individual feeds are still badged with a count that can't be dismissed.
Is there a fix for this, or do I have to revert to an older version and hope that the next Safari update will address this?
(and please, no alternate browser recommendations)

Hi,
Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file (preferences)
Quit Safari.
Go to ~/Library/Preferences
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari. If that helped, move the .plist file to the Trash. If not, move it back to the Preferences folder.
If that didn't work, go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash. Quit then relaunch Safari to test.
~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
