Password to update RSS feed

Hi,
Since a few months I've been getting this little pop-up window asking for a name and password to update RSS feeds (see below). This window did not appear before and the problem is that (1) it does not accept my .mac password and (2) I don't know which other password/username it might be asking for.
I am using Safari on an Intel iMac.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Best,
WSpiff
Enter your name and password to update the RSS feed.
To update the RSS feed "Filmkes", you need to log in to the area "idisk.mac.com" on rss.mac.com. Your password will be sent in clear text.
Login failed. Please re-enter your name and password for the area "idisk.mac.com" on rss.mac.com.

HI,
I really would feel very unsafe giving the password to my iMac on Twitter.com!!
They mean your Twitter username and password, not your administrator account on your iMac. Have you signed up for a Twitter account in the past???
To update the RSS feed "http:/twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline.rss", you need to log in to the area "Twitter API" on twitter.com. Your password will be sent in clear text.
When you type in the username and login and see: Remember this password in my keychain.
That's right. Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities) stores all your usernames and passwords for you.

  • Error updating RSS feed, email and calendar

    About 2 weeks ago my Droid X running Gingerbread, stopped updating RSS feeds, email and calendar but other apps/widgets seem to work fine.
    If I go in to the RSS feed and try to subscribe to a new feed I get the following error message, "Can't add news subscription now. Try again later."
    Also noticed that Check for update gives "Check for update is not available at this time. Try again later."
    My thought was to try to manually reinstall Gingerbread.  Followed instructions found on other forum sites but when trying to reload GB from recovery I get the following error:
    "Installing update...
    assert failed: file_get.prop("/system build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "verizon/shadow_vzw/cdma_shadow/shadow:2.2.1/VZW/23.340:user/ota-rel-keys, release-keys" || file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "verizon/shadow_vzw/cdma_shadow:2.3.3/4.5.1_57_DX5-18/110410:user/release-keys"
    E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip

    I am trying to avoid a factory reset of the phone but would appreciate any help/suggestions that anyone has.

    Hello tjoreilly,
    Thanks for providing your experience on refreshing the RSS feeds on your device. Based on the information you have given and what Cody21 previously stated, I recommend as factory reset also. Before doing a reset, I suggest verifying that your contacts are saved on Gmail and/or backup assistant and calendars are backed up on your Gmail account. This is  to ensure that your personal info can easily be restored after the factory reset. Any digital media, like pictures and videos, will be saved on your memory card & won't be erased unless you wish to do so.
    Once the reset is done, try to access and update your RSS feed to your preference to confirm that the issue is resolved. If so, please respond to this posting so other can benefit from your experience. If not, then feel free to elaborate on your experience after the reset so we can further assist. 
    Thank you...

  • IWeb wont update RSS feed

    Im currently working on my website at www.ottoferdinand.com
    I have already published it and have 5 blog entry on the web. As you can see i put the rss feed link in front of my web, but the feed just wont update. It will only show the first 3 blog entry. How can I fix it? To make the rss feed updated properly each time I add new blog entry??
    Thanks.

    The method for transferring iTunes to another feed is described here:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/podcast.html#move
    However as this involves adding a tag to the feed you cannot do it in iWeb itself. You could do it this way:
    Download your feed and open it in TextEdit in PLAIN TEXT MODE, not Rich Text which is often the default.
    Add the tag as described in my page.
    Re-upload the feed using an FTP program. Do not subsequently make any amendments in iWeb for two weeks.
    Alternatively email Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com and ask them to move it (give them the URL of your Store page and both feed URLs) - there's no guarantee they will but they have done for some people.

  • Alternate ways to update RSS Feed URL in iTunes Store

    Hey all,
    Ok, so I am having issues with updating my iTunes Store RSS URL. Here's the storyin a nutshell. If any of you have experience with this i would really appreciate some help, because I have been stuck for week now.
    I started my podcast using Podbean.com as a host, and when I first submitted my podcast URL to th iTunes Store, I used the RSS URL that podbean gave me which was http://unfilteredandrew.podbean.com/feed/. A few weeks later, I decided to move my host to SquareSpace, therefore I have a new RSS URL for the podcast now. I understand the directions frovided by Apple on how to change the URL by inserting the <itunes:new-feed-url> tags into the XML file. This is where the problem lies. Podbean.com is not able to instert this tag into my the XML file (its a long story, I have been dealing with thier incompitent customer service for weeks now). Let's assume for now that this method is not optional.
    SO my question to you guys is - is there another way to update the RSS URL feed? Currently the iTunes Store see's  http://unfilteredandrew.podbean.com/feed/as my RSS feed, but I want it to see the NEW one which is: http://andrewunfiltered.squarespace.com/podcast?format=rss
    Please help!!
    Kellen

    Ignore the 301 redirect - this is really intended for other rss readers than iTunes.
    If you are creating a feed somehow and submitting that to Feedburner, which then passes it on to iTunes, and if you can add the tag to that original feed it will also appear in the Feedburner feed and the redirect will take place.
    If you are creating the feed only in Feedburner by entering details, there you cannot directly edit the feed - I don't know whether Feedburner provides a way of doing this: most online podcast creation services don't.
    If that's the case then you will have to abaondon the old feed. You should attempt to get the old podcast removed from the Store - instructions here (though there have been a number of reports that iTunes Store staff are simply not bothering to carry out this process) - and submit your new feed as an entirely new podcast. You will probably need to make a small change in the title, as a bug in the Store software may tell you that the podcast has already been submitted: and of course you will lose any subscribers or comments.

  • Web Service call to update RSS feed

    Is there any webservice method to force an iTunesU RSS feed update?

    Yes, that is the way we are currently doing it now.
    Since we are storing content locally, our faculty members can just "drag and drop" their mp3 files into the appropriate directories on a server. We are trying to eliminate the step of having a faculty member touch the feed.
    Hopefully this feature will be added soon.
    Thanks

  • ITunes not updating RSS feed.

    I am hoping someone will be able to help me figure this out:
    After a hiatus of several months, I have started releasing new podcast episodes. The last episode in the iTunes store directory was Nov. 14, 2012.
    In the last week I have released 2 new episodes, but since the content was time sensitive I backdated them. I changed the Nov. 14 podcast to July 20 and then added a September 15 and a February 22, 2013 episode.
    The changes show up through iTunes software, but not in the iTunes store. It still shows the last episode as being Nov. 14, 2012. It has been 4 going on 5 days without any changes.
    Also, iTunes is not displaying my podcast logo, even though I have uploaded a 1400 X 1400 jpeg.
    I have checked and the podcast feed validates without a problem.
    I am at a loss as to what to look for or try next. If anyone has any ideas I would be very appreciative for any advice.

    Thank you.

    Hi Roger,
    I contacted Apple and received this confusing reply (cut and paste below). It is confusing on 2 counts; 1) My feed validates just fine and 2) within minutes of receiving it, iTunes updated my feed to show 2 missing episodes.
    Still, the artwork is not showing and I posted another (backdated) episode over a week ago and it still hasn't shown up in the store yet either.
    I am wondering if I should resubmit my feed as the Apple support email suggests but do not want to loose my current subscribers.
    Any thoughts?
    This is the email I received from Apple:
    Dear Malcolm,
    Welcome to iTunes Store Customer Support. My name is Abdul and I will be happy to assist you.
    I'm sorry to hear that you have been unable to get your podcast listed on the iTunes Store. Addressing your concern is important to me.
    Malcolm, it appears that your podcast's RSS feed is not validating. To help find the problem, you may want to use a feed validator, such as this one:
    http://www.feedvalidator.org
    You can get help with many specific issues, learn how to test a feed, and view a sample feed in the iTunes Making a Podcast page:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html
    If you can successfully subscribe to your podcast and listen to each of the episodes, try resubmitting the feed to the iTunes Store. If you receive a message that the feed has already been submitted, the iTunes Store is detecting that the podcast is a duplicate. Please follow these steps to resubmit the podcast:
    1) Change the title and link fields of your RSS feed to something other than what they are now.
    2) Resubmit the podcast feed via iTunes.
    3) Once you have successfully submitted the podcast, you can change the title and link fields back to what they were.
    If you're still having trouble, consider consulting the Apple Discussions forums, which have a wealth of information about specific issues. Click Producing Podcasts in the Pro Digital Production area of this page: http://discussions.apple.com
    I hope the above information will help you.
    If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us and we will be happy to assist you.
    Have a nice day!
    Sincerely,
    Abdul

  • Mail has completely stopped updating RSS feeds

    I have numerous RSS feeds subscribed to in Mail, and they have all stopped updating (for several days now).
    Trying to manually tell them to update does nothing. Also, if I try and add new feeds, it doesn't even grab the articles in the new feeds.
    Anyone know how to reset this?

    Unfortunately I don't have a great answer for you.
    Once I found the folder inside the root level Library/Syndication. Another time I found it inside Users/Library/Syndication. When I had the problem, I trashed this folder, then relaunched Mail.
    I still have the problem once in a while, and either Syndication folder has not been re-created. When it happens, I quit and relaunch Mail, and it seems to clear it up.
    It's really a pain in the neck. I don't know what's causing it. I don't know what else to suggest if you've already trashed both/either Syndication folders and then quit and restarted Mail.

  • RSS - Live bookmark failed to load - Firefox, RSS feeds not updating

    I am new to this forum, and I figure this has been covered before. However, I'm not finding an answer.
    I have a Beehive workspace and go to Recent Activity to subscribe to the RSS feed. When using Firefox, I am prompted for my username and password. The RSS feed works until I quit Firefox. After restarting Firefox, I get the "Live bookmark failed to load" message.
    If I try to access the feed with Safari, I have the option to enter my username and password, and then save that info in my keychain. I'm trying to determine if the reason the RSS feed isn't updating because of some authentication problem.
    People using Internet Explorer have also reported problems with Beehive workspace RSS feeds not updating, so I'm trying to find a solution.
    Not providing reliable RSS feeds is slowing down adoption of our workspace, and people aren't wanting to use the workspace until I've resolved the RSS issue.
    Can you point me to a solution or to information on how to resolve the RSS updating issues.
    Thanks.

    HI,
    The RSS feed is password protected as you have to be an authenticated user to access the complete system. The issue seems to be in the browser - if it does not trigger a check for username/password and then prompt if not set there is a li9mited amount we can do.
    We are working on getting the subscriptions inside beehive working which will generate notifications but that will not be available for a week or so.

  • RSS Feeds are not updating in Mail

    For a few weeks now my RSS feeds in Mail have not been updating at all.  The settings for checking and updating RSS feeds have not been changed.
    Is this a mail issue or an ISP issue?

    I know this thread is almost as old as I am but I'm speaking to the folks who may encounter this question through a web search.
    Are you running network filtering software such as Little Snitch? That should be the first thing to check. The settings on the software (whatever it is you're using) could be blocking the feeds.
    I use Little Snitch and if I have "Silent Mode" turned on I don't receive any RSS feeds. There may also be a connection here to any anti-virus software you have installed. An aggressive setting in anti-virus software might be preventing RSS feeds from updating.
    Hope this helps.

  • RSS Feeds Do Not Update

    I'm not certain when this happened, exactly, but Safari no longer updates the RSS news feeds to which I'm subscribed and no longers puts in parentheses the number of new articles. This is bookmark bar-wide. Yes, I've checked to make certain the RSS Preference is set to do so (I haven't changed it). I even deleted a few of the Folders and recreated them with the RSS News subscriptions. No joy. I'm running Safari 2.0.3 (417.8) on a G4 Powerbook with 1GB of RAM running OS 10.4.4. The only software I've installed/changed has been the upgrade to iLife 06 and iWork 06. I'm competely stumped on this one.

    Timothy,
    I recently posted some links which were apparently helpful for another poster:
    This fix worked for :nathan:
    Guy Parrot tried this.
    Enter "Updating RSS Feeds" into the Search Discussions" field on this page for more suggestions.
    I can usually cure the problem by changing the All/Today/Last Seven Days/This Month/Last Month selection in "Recent Articles."

  • Rss feeds on home screen

    I belatedly have been able to update to belle here in Australia since last week, and I have now lost the ability of updated rss feeds on the home screen. In the nokia conversations article 'Nokia Belle: Six ways to use six screens' from the 12/04/2012 it clearly shows on the second screen example an enourmous orange and white rss feed widget. Why can't I find it on my phone?! Also when I press the store button in the add widget or add short cut screen it tells me that that page is not available and to try again. Will there ever be some more widgets to fill the home screens up with? I probably should wait for the ones that have been on anna that are not on belle to be replaced first!

  • Rss Feed Dead

    Hi! For the past couple of days, in Mail 4.2, there is a little warning triangle next to the RSS Feed for Apple Hot News. The message I get is: "The RSS feed could not be updated because no associated URL was found. This feed will no longer receive new articles."
    I used the Update RSS Feeds command, but nothing changes. In Mail Preferences, under RSS Feeds, my Default Reader is Mail, and is set to check for updates every day and remove articles manually. The only download I've done recently is Safari 5.0 earlier in the week, though I use Firefox 3.6.3 as my browser.
    Any suggestions on how to clear this up?

    Go to File>Add RSS Feeds, check 'Specify URL for a Feed' and copy this URL in:

  • Release 15- RSS feed

    I dont know how many of you guys have seen release 15 yet but i have got access to it on our Staging instance.
    They have included a feature of RSS feed on the home page .
    i had a question on this . The Rss feed which we are using is from a website which allows the user to view feeds only after logging on to the website.
    I have included the url of the RSS Feed on the home page of Siebel and can view the news website on my home page .
    I was wondering is there a way where i can supply the user name and password in the URL itself so that the users are directly logged on to the news website as soon as they login in to Siebel CRM ?

    You can try putting the URL of that RSS feed into your browser directly, then try logging in to that website. After logging in, if the URL in the browser now includes the username and password, then it means that the website accepts those URL parameters. You can then use the full URL including the username/password in your RSS feeds configuration.
    Otherwise, logging into the RSS feed from On Demand would not be possible at this time.
