Mail And RSS Feeds

I've been seeing a lot of RSS apps on the appstore and on websites. I've read through some product descriptions and they all do just about the same thing: compile feeds.
Mac Mail seems to handle RSS' just fine, and other than having to update the feeds manually it seems to work without any kinks.
My question is: do these other RSS apps have something Mac Mail doesn't have, features, search options?

Hey,
So, yeah I'd read a bunch of reviews for the different RSS programs and it's after those those reviews that the question popped in my head.
It seems like they all seem to do pretty much the same thing, Mac Mail's RSS included, which is gather the RSS' as they're posted.
The reason I asked was because, already being pretty familiar with how Mac Mail's works, I thought there might be certain features the other programs offered that Mac Mail's did not offer, or that I was not aware of.
Again, after reading through the reviews it seems as if they all do pretty much the same thing.
Thanks for reading over the post and offering some advice.
Much appreciated

Java announce mailing list/rss feed available?

I am looking for a newsletter/mailing list/rss feed about java announcements that is low noise and low traffic.
What I need is a notification as soon as a new patch release of the Java SDK gets released.
For other technologies I use, these are usually the announce lists/news groups. But even after googling and searching in SDN for some time, I could not find such a list/feed for java.
Any hints/pointers to what I am looking for?
Thanks for any help

It is less my desire to GET the new releases - but I want to KNOW about new releases and the bug fixes and enhancements incorporated.

How can I import my bookmarks and RSS feeds from Flock?

I just switched over from Flock because it's too sluggish to use anymore. How do I import all my bookmarks, passwords, and RSS feeds? If I have to do it all by hand, I'm going to cry.
Also do I need a separate RSS reader to get my feeds in a nice list like Flock does it? I don't really get how Live Bookmarks are supposed to work.
Thanks. I used Firefox before moving to Flock, so hopefully switching back won't be too painful.

Hm. This was somewhat helpful. I got my bookmarks moved (although now that I see how many of them I had backed up, I'm not sure that was a good idea).
Still trying to figure out the passwords... I have my Flock profile folder and my Firefox profile folders open... it looks like I need to copy the key3.db file and the signons.sqlite file from the Flock folder to the Firefox folder, does that sound correct?
As for the RSS feeds, it looks like I'll need an external reader to make any use of the .OPML file that Flock exported for me. I'm still not really clear on how Live Bookmarks work, exactly. I see how to create and manage them, I just don't get how they function day to day. I have a ridiculous number of RSS feeds, some of which still have half a hundred posts I'm working my way through.
Any recommendations for a good Firefox compatible feed reader?
Thanks!

Rules and RSS Feeds

Is it possible to apply rules to RSS articles (such as "If message type is RSS Article and content contains [phrase or word] then move to trash")?
My attempts to do this with the RSS articles in Mail have been unsuccessful...

I agree. That is not correct. I have a rule that runs on my RSS feeds, but I can't seem to get it to run automatically. I have to force the rule to run and then it works ok. Of course if I have to do that, there isn't much reason to have a rule. Any help??

Mail and RSS

I recently bought a newer Mac which updated me to 10.5. This of course brought along an updated version of Mail. It worked great for first few days but I then began to get duplicate Apple Hot News RRS. One in the already created RSS folder, which is ideal but now I get them in my inbox to. Can anyone tell me how I get rid of the Inbox bound Apple RSS without losing the ones already destined for my RSS mailbox?

I had the same problem, I think I had accidentally dragged the RSS feeds to my inbox and the feeds also showed there.
I am at the office and not in front of my Macbook, but seem to remember that there is a checkbox to deselect from showing RSS feeds in inbox. I could be wrong as I can't remember exactly but try mail>preferences and then RSS feeds, it should be obvious to you.
This article about adding RSS feeds in inbox may help, just reverse the procedure to remove.

I will have a look later at home and post again if you have not had any luck.

Safari vs. Mail for RSS feeds?

From reading Mac Help, I see you can use both Safari or Mail for reading RSS feeds.
As I understand it, the advantage of using Safari is that you have to use Safari anyway to subscribe to and actually read the full articles, so it would seem to make more sense just to use Safari.
However, the advantage of creating a special RSS feeds mailbox in Mail is that you can have all the feeds from multiple blogs appear in a single mailbox as they are posted, instead of having to load up the feeds for each site separately in Safari.
Is this correct? Thanks.

Correct.
I prefer to use Mail to manage, and if/when I want more, I follow the link via Safari.

IWeb 08 and RSS feeds on godaddy

Hello friends - I am setting up a website to be hosted on godaddy. I had no problems uploading the site using easyiwebpublisher. However, I want to use the blog function. I set up the blob on iweb and I can read them on the site, but when I click the "subscribe to RSS" link on my page it says:
"The page you tried to access does not exist on this server. This page may not exist due to the following reasons:
You are the owner of this web site and you have not uploaded (or incorrectly uploaded) your web site. For information on uploading your web site using FTP client software or web design software, click here for FTP Upload Information.
The URL that you have entered in your browser is incorrect. Please re-enter the URL and try again.
The Link that you clicked on incorrectly points to this page. Please contact the owner of this web site to inform them of this situation."
Any help on how to get the RSS feed to work w/o mobileme?
I understand it may not work without MobileME but I wanted to know if anyone has a workaround.
One more bit of data:
When I publish to folder the pop-up has me enter the URL for my site because "iWeb uses the URL to provide an RSS feed for your blog."
Does that mean I put http://www.weirdfantasy.com/ or should I put the URL for my RSS feed page? http://www.weirdfantasy.com/WeirdFantasy/News/rss.xml
I put http://www.weirdfantasy.com/ and I get the error message.
Jawko -out...

If I upload the index.html that isn't in the sitefolder, won't it just overwrite the one in the sitefolder?
No. You can't overwrite something inside a folder with something you put outside the folder. It is normal for there to be an index.html in both places in an iWeb site.
I just did that using the godaddy FTP uploader and now I can't get to my homepage. Says it can't be found.
I recommend that you never use the uploader provided by a host, as they often result in things not being uploaded correctly. Instead use a real ftp app.

[SOLVED] Conky and RSS feeds

I'm trying to get rss feed to conky from cnn.com. I have tried:
${rss http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss feed_title}
${rss http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss item_title}
${rss http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss item_titles 10}
But I always get "Conky: Error Processing RSS data" I've tried other feed and they work, but I don't think they used *.rss, it was *.xml How do I need to fix this to work?
Thanks in advance

I tried the link and didn't work until I found out the actual problem . I have to define the update interval even though there's a default update interval, so this worked:
${rss http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss 15 item_titles 10}
or
${rss http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.xml 15 item_titles 10 } works too.

Safari and RSS Feeds

I can't access any RSS feed in OS X 10.8, and maybe other things as well. I tried to access RSS feeds and was given an error saying that there was no application for it. I tried accessing iTunes 25 New Releases and got the same error message. I have just moved to 10.8 in the last 2 days and this is the first time that I have tried to access these so I can't think of anything that I might have done that would have affected the system negatively.

IWeb, Podcasts, and RSS feeds

http://web.mac.com/realityramble
So I feel like I made a grave error in choosing iWeb to create and .mac to host my podcast. After creating the podcast page in iWeb and publishing it to .mac and the iTunes Music Store, I noticed that the podcast didn't have artwork when you find it in ITMS like it should have. I emailed ITMS and they replied that I have to manually update my RSS feed. No problem, except...
I've no idea how to do this! I know what to change and all that to add the artwork that should be there as well as the ITMS search keywords, but I have no idea where to find my RSS feed on my computer so that I can update it. ITMS email help told me to do a spotlight search on my computer but I can't find it anywhere.
iWeb doesn't tell you where the website is saved on your computer and I can't find it for the life of me.
Does anyone know how I can manually update my RSS feed? Again, I've found the page that tells me how I'm supposed to change the feed and I know what to do once I find it, but I can't find the bugger!
This seems ridiculous, and creating your site on iWeb is supposed to be the easy and fool-proof method, but it's really not and I'm really frustrated.

Hi Keith
You need to look in your iDisk (if you don't have it mounted go to System Prefs > .Mac > iDisk, and wait till it's synchronized).
Your RSS.xml file will be in a subfolder of your Web folder - open it in TextEdit, make your changes and Save.
It worked for me http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=167005059

Embedding and RSS Feeds

I am trying to move my blog from blogger (drkatiegoestomedschool.blogspot.com) to iWeb and running in to problems at every turn. The big one though is the lack of embedding within the RSS feeds. In each entry I have multiple images and will sometimes also add youtube videos.
While I can get the images and youtube videos into each entry, they are not in the RSS feed. I've tried putting the images/videos within the text and still nothing.
Is there something I'm missing? Is it even possible to do such a thing on iweb?

Permissions And RSS feeds

Hello everyone,
I have installed three RSS feeds on my main top level site. I can see it and everyone in my IT group can see it, but no one else in the company can see them. I've looked into permissions and I don't see a problem there...Is there anything I might be
missing?

Hello Gryphon6,
Can you check if the people who are not from the IT group are able to directly access the listfeed.aspx page of one of your rss feeds?
For example:
http://Server/_layouts/listfeed.aspx?List=ListGUID
If you can reproduce this I would also check the ULS logs

Safari issues with at least two sites and RSS Feeds broken

Greetings all. This is my first time posting on here, I'm also a new(er) Apple user. Finally switched from the dark side. Love the Macbook, but after so many years with a PC, I am definitely not within my element on some things. Here are my two issues:
1. On Safari (and Firefox incidentally) if I go to msnbc.com or yahoo.com I get a dysfunctional appearance. msnbc.com simply doesn't load except the outer frames. The inner content doesn't load at all. They have redesigned their site and I still only get the outer frame from the old design. On yahoo.com, it simply gives me a very bland, generic front page and tells me to upgrade to a more current browser. I'm running the most current Safari. Don't know what's wrong. I get some challenges on some other sites i visit, but nothing specific comes to mind - except maybe flash driven applications - heavy flash. They run slow or not at all.
2. I love(d) RSS feeds in Safari. All of a sudden they stopped working. It still shows unread messages - which I cannot clear - and will not load any new messages. If I try to read a feed, it gives me a error page - similar to a non-existent page/link. Not sure how to fix this.
With the first issue, being relatively new to Apple, etc, I honestly don't know if I selected some weird setting unknowingly that is causing my problems or not, etc. Don't know if I caught a virus, bug, etc. Wouldn't know how to find out if I did.
Anyone that is patient, intelligent with Apple and doesn't mind helping out a stupid new Apple user. :o) VERY MUCH APPRECIATED IN ADVANCE!

All companies are out there to make money, however much they try to disguise the fact.
GoldenShoes is partly right. However, not all sites are deliberately designed to just work in IE and Firefox; a lot of developers simply don't realise their code (or parts of it) is not functional in other browsers because at least 90% of the world's population use IE or FF. In other cases, it's just not economically viable to cater to such a tiny percent of the Internet-using population (besides, what would all those people that want to be 'different' do?!
You might want to try contacting those companies and telling them of your problems - after all, they are losing business by doing this and they may be unaware.
The other part of the argument is that FF, and IE especially, let a lot more 'bad', invalid code though to cater to their users. Opera and Safari don't really do this as much, and there is a lot of cross-browser incompatibility.

Mobile Safari and RSS feeds

Sorry if this has already been discussed - I haven't found anything on it yet.
I have a few RSS feeds bookmarked on my iPhone. Whenever I click on an article I'm unable to use the back button to return to the main feed page. I always have to result to opening up the bookmark menu and hitting the main page that way.
Does anyone else have this issue? Is this a problem for everyone?
