ITunes U RSS feeds and Firefox Live bookmark

It seems there is a problem with rss feeds and ffox live bookmarks.
I tried subscribing to - http://deimos3.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Feed/itunes.stanford.edu.1524698736 .01524698739. However I do not get the plus sign indicating there are additional items.

Apple allows you to interact with iTunes U as an administrator through an XML-based web service. It's described in the iTunes U administrators guide:
http://tinyurl.com/5nm73n
In particular, you're looking for the UpdateGroup web service directive:
http://tinyurl.com/bmh2xw
If you send Apple an UpdateGroup directive, referring to a specific group (tab) within a course that feeds from one of your RSS servers, you're asking Apple to process the feed "now" (where "now" is defined to be "as soon as possible") as opposed to having to wait for an overnight feed refresh.
Have a look at the documentation ... if you're a little bit of a developer, it should make some sense. If not, I owe someone from Apple a favor and might give you a simpler way of using the directive ... without requiring you to write code yourself.

RSS Feeds and Firefox

Im fairly new to RSS and I've just recently set up a few RSS feeds in Apple Mail...but I'm a little confused though. I thought you could actually read the article right within the Mail application. However, Mail only gives the headings and a link to "Read More". If this can't be fixed, I have no problem with that, but I would like to know how to change what browser opens up when I click on the "Read More" link. Right now, Safari opens up, but I would like to have Firefox open up instead...
Thanks!

Open Safari Preferences, go to general and set default web browser.

Subscribing to a page with Firefox Live Bookmarks launches Mac Mail?!

Can anyone PLEASE help me?! I'm going insane here. I just upgraded to Firefox 3, but the same thing was happening with Firefox 2. Any time I tried to subscribe to a page using Firefox Live Bookmarks (or do anything related to RSS feeds), my mac launches the Mail app and forces me to subscribe to the feed there. I don't even have Mail configured with any accounts anymore. Mail was set to use Firefox as the RSS reader, Safari is set to use Firefox as the RSS reader, and yet any time I click an RSS feed, it launches Mail. I've trashed my Mail preferences, but it keeps doing it!! What's going on here?! Please help, this is driving me crazy.

You might think the exact same thing happens, and that clicking an RSS link in Safari would simply launch mail and give me the same configuration screen (again, Mail is no longer configured on my computer so it always wants me to set up an account). But no! Trying to subscribe in Safari actually opens a new tab in Firefox, which loads a blank page for a few seconds, and THEN mail launches and tries to handle the RSS subscription.
I tried subscribing to a live bookmark in Firefox on a PC just to see what the behavior was supposed to look like, and saw that it loads a feedburner page with a preview of the feed, and at the top is an interface to decide what on your computer is supposed to handle feedburner feeds. I can either leave it set to Live Bookmarks, or choose any other application I want. I wonder if the same sort of thing is going on with the Mac? Somehow the Mail app got locked into being the default application for RSS feeds and I can't change it? I mean, obviously something like that is going on, I just don't know what to do about it.
I tried going into System Preferences - Default Apps to see if there was an RSS entry there, but when I try to run Default Apps, I get the message "You cannot open Default Apps preferences because it doesn't work on an Intel-based Mac." Oh.

RSS feed and DOMParser. Confused and urgent.

Hi, I'm VERY new to RSS and have decided to give this application a try.
I'm trying to create a java application that reads
http://weather.nearperfect.com/weather/world.rss/081/c00234
and prints out informations such as "Title, link, description", and etc.
However, I don't know how to use a DOMParser to read the URL.
I have tried
DOMParser parser = new DOMParser();
parser.parse("http://weather.nearperfect.com/weather/world.rss/081/c00234");but have not yet tested it with the nodes. I'd just like to ask before going in further if there is any one who has done RSS feed and DOMParser know how to do this. I'm at wits end and have been googling for few hours now.

Hi,
Thanks for the help, that is much appreciated. Sadly I'm still having the same issue. The two old dead feeds are still on iTunes after weeks of me asking for them to be removed and also after me putting the block tag into the rss feed. My new one still hasn't shown up even though it was updated on Saturday... it's really a nightmare.
Can someone please please help.
Thanks

Problems with rss feeds in Firefox.

When i enter an rss feed url into firefox, it automatically switches to safari to open the url. Firefox is my default browser; I am trying to set up rss feeds in Firefox. How do I prevent this from happening so that these urls will open in Firefox?

Same problem here... And in this thread some experience the same behavior: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 1#p1480991

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 Feeds and own domain -- sorry but this is kind of a long question

I've been reading the very useful advice on RSS feeds and how they work with your own domain name.
I am trying to update my blog to my hosted site and I can't get it to follow the RSS path so that the subscription link works. (I am getting a file not found error message.)
I updated and published the site on .mac, where it is fine. <http://web.mac.com/lisajacobs/iWeb/Immigra/Blog/Blog.html>
Then I published the site again to the same folder I used when I put the site up this morning. Since I only wanted to change the blog pages and not the entire site, I ftp'ed up the Blog folder to my own domain site <http://www.immigra.com/Blog/Blog.html>
The published web folder on my desktop has in it folders along the lines of Extraordinary_files and Extraordinary.html and so forth for the different pages of the site. However, there is no corresponding Blog.html file.
I am thinking that this missing file may be the cause of the RSS problem -- but where is it? Why didn't iWeb make it for my folder? (I have an old Blog.html file on my site but it is clearly from the last iteration of the blog, as the latest blog entry is not there.)
Or is there a different cause of the problem that I am not diagnosing? I am reluctant to ftp the entire site up every time I change the blog for two reasons 1) I made an edit to the html code on the welcome page (so that links would open a different page) and 2) it takes a really long time to upload the whole thing, which makes it a pain to have quick blog updates.\

However, when I uploaded
only the blog folder and its contents, it did not
appear on my site.
I see the last entry as May 10, so that's the old one right?
My guess would be that you did not actually upload the new blog folder. Depending on how you have things organized, you may still have your old one there somewhere, and you may have selected it by mistake with your ftp program.
I would double-check the Blog folder on your drive to make sure it has been updated, and that this is the folder you have tried to upload.
Does publishing to the folder in itself change the
entire structure so that the whole site has to be
FTP'ed up again?
No.

How to Generate an iTunes U RSS Feed (to play on Website)

I'd liked to be able to play iTunes U podcasts on my college's homepage by parsing an RSS feed containing a podcast title, description, and a media enclosure (either .mp3 or .m4a). I'd use an RSS audio player to play the file on our page. We just migrated to the iTunes U Public site manager and I'm not finding any documentation online on how to accomplish this. Is this still possible (it was possible with the private version of iTunes U or even just iTunes podcasts in general). I noted below how I used to do it below. I've tried using the same work around with Public site manager without any success. We link to our iTunes U site in iTunes, but there are some instances when we'd like to be able to play these files outside of the iTunes application. I see how you can format your RSS feed to feed podcasts into iTunes U, but I'm not finding any documentation or examples that show how to pull iTunes U content from Public site manager.
Appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks,
Bittersweet
To get the RSS feed for a tab in iTunes U (for subscribing outside of
iTunes):
1) Navigate in iTunes U to the "Course" containing your podcast.
2) Click on the tab for which you want to get the feed.
3) Right-click on the "Subscribe" button and "Copy iTunes Store URL".
4) Paste the link into a text editor to verify it matches this pattern:
http://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Feed/mycollege.edu.1303285046.013932 85954
* Note: If you right-click on the "tab" of the feed instead of the
"Subscribe" button, you get a link like this:
http://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/BrowsePrivately/mycollege.edu.
1303285046.01393285954
* That link only works inside of iTunes. To make it match the link
format above, change the "/BrowsePrivately/" to "/Feed/" as such:
http://deimos.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Feed/mycollege.edu.

Hi Alan,
Sorry for the tardiness of my reply.
In principle, a backup app much as you outline could be made. It would backup enough of a private site to allow you to restore it in a genuinely substantive way. An outline of how you would approach this would be as follows:
1. You would download full site XML. Apple has a web service API for that. This gives a sort of snapshot of the structure of your site.
2. You would traverse your site XML and download a copy of each content item in your private site. A small twist in this is that you would have to pick up extra things (course/album artwork, for example). There is no Apple API for this, but it's possible to do this other ways.
Unfortunately, I the process of creating such an app would be rough. Maybe a year ago or so, I worked on some code that would allow a person to backup a specific course/album page within a site. And I nearly finished that app, but got distracted with other stuff. If there were enough interest, I could revive that work. Unfortunately, it would have to be Mac-only, I'm afraid. I could probably tackle it in WIndows, but my OS X/iOS coding chops are a LOT stronger than they are for Windows.

RSS-Feeds and Mac OS 10.4.6 Update

It seems, that the issue with updating the RSS-Feeds in the bookmark bar automatically is not solved by the new Mac OS X update. For testing I changed syncing from hourly to automatically and now the RSS-Feeds are not anymore updated.
I think the issue with syncing the status of the RSS-Feeds is also not solved! Have anyone tested it?

I don't use the synch. option. However, my RSS feeds are updating without problem after the update. If I remember correctly, the RSS feed update was affected by synching through .Mac? Is that true?
What method did you use to update your system. As a rule, I use the combo update. If you used the incremental method, I suggest using the combo update. Remember to repair permissions via Disk Utility after the update.

RSS Feed and Podcast Categories Issue

Hey everyone,
I'm having a lot of problems publishing my podcasts with iweb. I create them on Garageband and then send to iWeb where they're part of a larger site. Anyway, they were working at one stage, but now seem not to be at all.
I ran the RSS feed through fee validator and it's telling me the categories chosen are not longer valid itunes categories. I want them in video games, but there's no choice for this when I'm going through iWeb.
The issue is that I don't know how to get to the RSS feed to edit it. I only see the iWeb format, but I want the actual source code etc to go in and change that around if possible. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks in advance
Tracy

RSS Feeds and a Today Smart Mailbox

How can I have posts from RSS feeds I am subscribed to Not show up in a Today Smart Mailbox?
I tried to add a condition to the smart mailbox but I don't see parameters that would cover not showing the feed posts.

Your Store page is at https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/drunkards-and-dragons/id602663440?mt=2
The Store isn't using the feed you linked to, but the one at
http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/34731626-drunkdnd/tracks
This has three episodes, all of which play in the Store and the two I checked downloaded on subscribing.
Your feed at http://feeds.feedburner.com/drunkdnd has four episodes; it can be subscribed to manually in the Store and the episodes download OK, so I'm not sure what the problem is. However this feed uses different episode media URLs; they are hosted on archive.org and are using https rather than http, and although the iTunes application handles them when subscribing it's possible that the Store itself is baulking at them. It would be better if you could provide a direct http URL to the files.
If you want to move the Store from using the soundcloud feed to the feedburner one you will need to add an 'itunes:new-feed-url' tag to the old feed, containing the URL of the new feed. The process is decribed in detail here:

Changing RSS feeds and a broken feed

Hey everyone. I'm changing the RSS feed for my podcast, and am wondering how to bring down the old stuff from the other RSS feed. I'm also having trouble with this new feed, iTunes keeps saying that it is having trouble downloading the episodes. I tried so many different things to try and get it to work, and I'm certain that what I have now should be working. If someone could take a look at my feed and let me know what I have to change, that would be great!

Using RSS Feeds and Podcasts

I've spent some time trying to figure all of this out but for some reason I can't quite grip how it all works, and how to do it. If anyone knows of any links that would help me how to create a podcast and use the RSS Feeds in iWeb, that would be great. Or if anyone knows an easy way to explain it.

Hi Josh,
I'm having similar problems as you -- I created a website on iWeb, and made a podcast in mp3 format that I put on the site. I wanted to submit the RSS feed to iTunes, so the podcast would be available through the iTunes store. But neither iTunes nor Feedburner recognizes the URL for the RSS feed. I'm wondering if I got the URL wrong, or if iWeb's automatically-generated "Subscribe" button doesn't work, or what. Any tips? Whatever happened with your podcast? I've spent hours and hours online trying to figure this out. Thanks!
