Mail RSS Feed Problem

Hello, I've got a problem with my RSS feeds in Mail and it's driving me nuts. I had a number of feeds which were all working properly and suddenly my craigslist feeds stopped. All previous and new feeds still work but the craigslist feeds give me the error "There was an error updating the RSS feed “santabarbara.craigslist.org” - The requested URL was not found on this server."
I thought it might be a problem with craigslist but their feed works fine in my Firefox Live Bookmarks. It only appears to not be working in Mail. It was around the time of the 10.6.4 update but I can't be certain. I'm thinking it could be some sort of cache issue for just that site but don't know how to check.
One of the feeds is http://santabarbara.craigslist.org/med/index.rss
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Rob

When you say you tried Safari & Firefox to read feeds from CraigsList, do you mean just loading the RSS URL's (e.g. http://santabarbara.craigslist.org/med/index.rss ) into the browser directly? For myself, CraigsList RSS feeds don't load in Safari 5 either but it does seem to work via Firefox 3.6.3. I bet this might have been the WebKit (Safari 5) update that broke something.
And yes, my CraigsList RSS feeds broke in Apple Mail too (which is what brought me here). I filed a Radar bug ( rdar://problem/8161076 ) to alert Apple internal people.

I am trying to recover my bookmarks and mail RSS feeds+folders.

I had to do a clean install of Lion. I almost have everything back but I am missing a few of my backup files. If I can locate these remaining items, I will be done finally!
Safari bookmarks
Mail RSS feeds and mail folders
Oh
And it would be nice to locate my iTune's Artwork for my library items. Not not a deal breaker, there are just so many of them to hunt and peck for if I decide to do so.
I have looked everywhere I can think of for these with no success.

I ended up having the Apple Genius bar work on this problem for me. The plists are now hidden in the Lion software and they had to go into the basic language portion of the system and execute commands to locate and retrieve the information. However, I do have all the information back.

Mail RSS Feeds Stopped Updating

Hi there,
In the past week, I've noticed that my Mail RSS feeds have stopped updating and I'm also unable to open/subscribe to new RSS feeds.
When I try to click on a new RSS feed in Safari, I get the following error message:
Safari can’t open the page “feed://www.vanilladays.com/feed/”. The error was: “Operation could not be completed. (Mach error 268435460 - (ipc/send) timed out)” (NSMachErrorDomain:268435460) Please choose Report Bugs to Apple from the Safari menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message.
In parallel to this, I've noticed that Safari is is also taking around 5 minutes to load (the is normal once loaded). I've got a separate topic about this.
Any ideas on what I can do to fix this? I was having these problems before I updated OSX yesterday.
Thanks for any help,
Ste

i was able to find this on another website...
CXL: Safari fails to display RSS feeds when CPU is under load or free disk space on system drive is small. That pretty much sums it up. It's annoying, too, because if Time Machine is doing its hourly backup or I'm converting video files, Safari's RSS display repeatedly fails with the same error message: "Mach errore 268451843 - (ipc/rcv) timed out" or "NSMachErrorDomain:268451843". Under the same conditions, Safari fetches and displays normal webpages perfectly fine. Filed: 5610533.
but this doesn't make sense, I have about 4.5 GB free on my startup drive....
i also found this apple thread which is about the same issue, but also has no resolution..

Where is Mail RSS feeds on Lion 10.8?

Please let me know where to find Mail RSS feeds using Lion 10.8 and Mail 6.0.
Thank you.

RSS has been completely removed from Mail and Safari in OS X 10.8. There are several third-party RSS readers available; search MacUpdate for "RSS".
BTW, this forum is for Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. The OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion forum is here:

Mail rss feed has stopped updating

my RSS feed in Mail has stopped updating. The last updates were on August 10. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Same here for a couple of weeks now. Only thing that helps is restarting mail. As seen from all the complaints here, it is a random problem and is continuing for some time now. And i think there will be no help from Apple since they have decided in there wisdom to drop the RSS feeds in the mail app all together from the newer OSX versions. I'm on OSX 10.6.8.

How to Export Mail RSS feeds to another reader

How do I go about exporting RSS feeds I have in Mail into another reader like NetNewsWire?
Thanks.

Hi Purple Cat,
Have you considered using New New Wire as a bridge between google reader and apple mail?
1) download NetNewsWire
2) configure NetNewsWire as default RSS reader
3) open NetNewsWire
4) Enable Assentive Devices
5) run terminal command to add RSS feed to NetNewsWire
6) verified correct feed to add in NewNewsWire
7) synced with google reader.
1) NetNewsWire download, put in applications folder.
2)open safari, go to safari menu, click preferences, when preferences open chose RSS. Set the pulldown menu default RSS reader to NetNewsWire
3) open NetNewsWire, make sure it's open, with no dialog box being displayed.
4) open system preferences, Click on Universal Access, check "enable access to assisted devices"
4) Open terminal, paste in the fallowing command, then press return:
IFS=$'\n';for i in $(find ~/Library/Mail/RSS/ -name "Info.plist");do open $(grep "<string>http://" $i | sed "s/.*$http[^<]*$.*/\1/;s/http/feed/"); osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to keystroke return'; sleep 20; done; say done;
NOTE: while this command runs do not click on any thing. it will take about 20 seconds between adding each RSS feed. if your speakers are on and your volume loud enough, you should hear the computer say 'done' after adding all the RSS feeds.
5) in NetNewsWire verify all the RSS are good to go, remove any you do not wish to add to google reader.
6) when your sure your ok to have the feed in NetNewsWire added to google reader:
in netnewswire go to preferences, click on the syncing icon, put in your google user name and password, Click Merge Subscriptions button, Then check "sync with google reader.

Iweb RSS feed problem

I just posted my first site with iWeb and on my home page I want to use the RSS widget to display spinets from my blog page on the same site. I have published the site to my FTP host and now the site is live. (www.thezumbacrew.com) Now that it is live, I thought I could find the RSS feed of my blog and add it to my home page RSS widget and republish. Not the case. When I go back into to iWeb to add the RSS feed it says "The feed source cannot be reached, Try again later."
I know the RSS feed from my blog works because it shows up fine in Google Reader.
Any ideas?

You have an & symbol in the URL which may be causing the problem as it is replaced by %26 by the browser....
feed://www.thezumbacrew.com/TheZumba_Crew/News_%26Events/rss.xml
Special symbols are a NO in URLS in general. Try using "News-and-Events" as hyphens are more easily seen in URLs that are underscored.

OTN RSS feed problem

I am having trouble with OTN's RSS feed. The URL given for individual items cannot be recognized. For example, for the item "Download Openworld 2003 presentation...", the URL given is "blank/ow2003/". My RSS reader fails to recognize the URL. I suspect that the URL given should be in full form instead of relative form.

Robert...we are aware of this problem and are working to have it resolved ASAP.

Solved RSS feed problem

My Rss feed stopped working in the last 30 days. I checked the mail preferences, RSS, reader. It was set to Safari, not mail. I checked mail. Closed the program and reopened. When reopened the RSS feeds were there in my mailbox! I did not change to Safari, I'm thinking a software update changed the default to Safari?

Try fixing up the validation issues...

Not promising it will help, but it's worth a shot.

Re-Uploading RSS feed problem

Hi
I uploaded our RSS feed (from podomatic) to itunes and it was all working OK but our picture wasn't showing up so I deleted the podcast from itunes. I uploaded the mix again to podomatic with the picture all working ok, got our RSS feed and have now tried to upload it again to itunes. I uploaded it over a week ago and there is still no email from ituns about it being published. I have tried a few times from 2 different itunes account and still no word from itunes about them receiving it.
I am new to podcasting so if anyone could help me it would be much appreciated!
Cheers

Hi,
This might be because the SAP Portal might be behind firewall. Ask your security person not to block this URL. You have to set the proxy settings to view this URL in the portal

RSS feed problem on 3.1 (525.13)

I've noticed that on any page that has an RSS feed available, I get a response like this:
Safari can’t open the page “feed://images.apple.com/main/rss/hotnews/hotnews.rss”. The error was: “unknown error” (CFURLErrorDomain:303)
Including Apple's own Safari Start Page. You name it, I get that. That is also including using the latest Webkit.
I've gotta have my RSS feeds, so I guess I'll downgrade to the Public Beta.

Delete the Webkit folder while Safari is not running. Restart the browser, and it worked fine. Starting with the feed from the Apple Start Page.

RSS Feed Problem with RDF files

Hi everyone,
I created a RSS feed like it is described in this weblog: Implementing A RSS Feed Reader In The Portal
Some RSS URLs work perfectly some don't work.
An example are RSS feeds like http://www.heise.de/newsticker/heise.rdf
Are .rdf files different from other RSS feeds?
How can I reference them from the portal?
Thanks,
Olaf

HI Keith,
Go to ~/LIbrary/Preferences and move the com.apple.Safari.RSS.plist file to the Trash then relaunch Safari.
See if that makes a difference. If not, from the Safari Menu Bar click Safari/Empty Cache. Relaunch Safari.
