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.

  • Users are not able to subscribe to RSS feed using Outlook express

    Hi,
    I have implemented RSS in one of my project .
    My project is an intranet site.
    In my project i use the rss.cfm for subscribing to the
    content.
    users are able to subscribe using IE7 & firefox but when
    users try to subscribe using Outlook 2007 or outlook 2003 . they
    are not able to subscribe.
    is there any way so that users can subscribe by their outlook
    as well ??
    Thanks & Regards,

  • 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. 

  • Not able to Enable the Custom Ribbon button On Pages in Sharepoint 2013

    Hi Team,
    Not able to Enable the Custom Ribbon button On Pages in SharePoint 2013. we have used the button edit properties section of the Pages.
    Same is working for Lists but not for Pages.
    Thanks,
    Shrikant

    Thanks for your reply.
    Right now my server is not working to get the code. will share you in some time.
    I am just thinking if page get checked out and my control is also present in the Edit properties section then do I need to specify something explicitly to enable the button. The same is working for Lists.

  • 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!

  • RSS feed in my page

    Greetings,
    I am using Java Studio Creator to create my pages and I want to add an RSS feed in certain location of my page, I get three news pulled from the particular site. I use ui script for displaying it, but when the news are displayed on the page it is sprawled over the page and is not confined to the particular section.
    Please help me with this issue, how I forma the news from RSS feed into my page.
    Regards,
    Pranabi.

    It seems to me you should be able to confine your news feeds to a specific part of the page with page fragments. The tutorial Using Page Fragments should give you a start. It's located here:

  • 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.

    Personalize Self-Service Defn should also to Yes
    Disable Self-service Personal to No

  • Updates to RSS feeds in bookmark toolbar not bold.

    I've recently installed Firefox and bookmarks and RSS feeds from IE. The RSS feeds are in my bookmarks toolbar. In IE, when the RSS feeds had updates, the item name would be bold. I thought Firefox worked the same way. What do I need to do in Firefox to get RSS feed updates to display in bold?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Downloaded Podcast RSS Episode does not stay in the original RSS feed.

    Hello,
    I just upgraded to iTunes ver. 9 on a windows XP PC. Before the upgrade my podcasts would download into the original RSS podcast feed created when I entered the initial URL. Since the update every time the new podcast’s is downloaded they dissapear from the original RSS feed and become an episode all alone within the podcast window. I want them to stay within the feed like before. I have spent hours trying to make changes under the info to try to make the podcast stay inside the original podcast folder with no luck. Before this upgrade the podcast downloads worked exactly the way I wanted them to, but since the upgrade I find it difficult to manage my selections. Is this a bug or is there some way to make the podcast group the way they used to? Any help would be appreciated. I am a new iTunes user who plans to move to the iphone in December so the configuration of iTunes is critical to this decision as I plan to synchronize my selections.
    Thanks for any help you may provide!

    i have the exact same problem... already made a post about it as well. please keep me posted if you find anything, ill do the same.
