Problem with RSS feeds in AppleMail

If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it. I have several RSS feeds that come in through AppleMail. Every so often, it stops receiving all of the feeds (I get an explanation point next to the the RSS header). After a day or so, it will start receiving feeds again. I have no problem getting e-mails... just my RSS feeds. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

I have just experienced the same problem with RSS feeds through AppleMail. A couple of days ago (just after I had upgraded to Aperture 3 - not sure if that's relevant) the exclamation mark appeared next to all the Mailboxes for my RSS feeds, and has not disappeared. If I click on the exclamation mark I get the message "there was an error updating the RSS feed 'Apple Hot News'. The RSS feed is temporarily unavailable because an internal error occurred".
I have tried shutting down, and deleting the RSS plist - with no effect.
Other details - the problem exists on a MacBook Pro, running Sno (v 10.6.2 - all updates applied) and Apple Mail v4.2. I can send / receive regular email. I also have an iMac (also running Sno 10.6.2 and Apple Mail v4.2) - RSS feeds work fine on this machine. Both machines use the same wireless broadband router.
Grateful for any help. Thanks

I have read up, and am still having problems with RSS Feed

Greetings Everyone.
I really need some help with my RSS feed before I go insane. I would like to think I know what I am doing, but obviously there is some little (or big!) step I am overlooking.
Ok here is my site: www.drewernst.com it is hosted by asmallorange.com
My pocast is at www.drewenst.com/podcast
This is the rss feed iWeb generated: feed://www.drewernst.com/podcast/The%20Jeff%20and%20Drew%20Podcast/rss.xml
Now, from everything I have read so far - it seems that as long as you get the URL right when you are publishing to a folder, iWeb should do the rest. Also, it is important to put the whole folder containing your podcast in your root web folder otherwise it breaks the feed. Both of these things I have done. (obviously not correctly, or it would be working!)
I read Many tutorials and topics I could find about this, but it still doesn't seem to work for me. Apple suggests taking the RSS feed an pasting it into itunes under Advanced menu "subscribe to podcast" to make sure your feed is valid before submitting to itunes.
When I do this, I get an message saying "there was a problem downloading... An unknown error occurred (-50).
I tried using a feed validator and it came back with so many errors. I just don't know that much about RSS, but i have been working on this for about a month and it's driving me crazy. No one I have asked at the apple store has been any more helpful than to suggest I just buy a .mac account and do it from there(honestly the nerve. wink.) I don't need .mac, I have my own website.
Thanks in advance.
Mr. Rss Crazy,

Oh, I tried to be as detailed as possible but if I left anything important out, please just ask...I will be watching this like a hawk.

So, my web-host said that it's a problem with the RSS feed, not there hosting.
They pointed me to "Feed Validator" which I looked at before. I have a lot of errors.
http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.drewernst.com%2Fpodcast% 2FThe%2520Jeff%2520and%2520Drew%2520Podcast%2Frss.xml
Shouldn't Garageband and iWeb have taken care of these errors. I don't even know how I would correct them. I thought this was supposed to be a 1-2-3 process, like the documentation of both programs said.
Sorry if I sound sarcastic, I am just frustrated.

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?

Problem with RSS Feed & iTunes U

Hello:
The following RSS feed passes feedvalidator with two minor errors, and other feeds have these similar two minor errors but work with iTunes U.
But, the following feed doesn't work with iTunes U.
http://www.kued.org/productions/utahnow/?action=videocast&cat=4
Any suggesitons?

An additional note: the error message iTunesU is returning is:
Error
iTunes U could not update the content in this group because iTunes U could not download the specified RSS feed. Verify that the RSS feed specified in the Feed URL is available, and then try again.
Clearly the feed is "available", and is in fact error free:
http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kued.org%2Fproductions%2 Futahnow%2F%3Faction%3Dvideocast%26cat%3D4
I've been through the feed pretty thoroughly and cannot see what in it could be giving iTunesU grief.

What is the problem with my feed ?

Can anybody shows me where is the problem with this feed :

Go to this site - http://feedvalidator.org/

Has any one had problems finding RSS feeds after upgrading to 10.8?

RSS feeds no longer appear in Mail in Mountain Lion (nor in Safari). You'll need a separate RSS application.
BTW, this forum is for Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. The forum for OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion is this one:

Using a site in iWeb to publish to an external server - problems with RSS

Hi!
I have a rather odd problem. I have a .Mac account, but I also work for a non-profit organization that has asked me to handle their website. I would like to use iWeb to do that and am attempting to publish the site to an external server. However, I also want to use iWeb to publish my own personal account pages to .Mac.
I have the site up and running, and most everything works on it except the RSS feed. I typed the url into the Publish to Server dialogue, but it has been to no avail. I wonder if it has to do with the fact that I am not publishing ALL of my sites to this server, just one of the sites. (When I invoke the Publish to Server command, it creates a master index and folders for each of the sites. Then, I have been discarding all of them except for the folder of the site I want to publish, which I have to name "public_html" to conform with our domain provider's requirements. This works great, except the RSS feed is broken when I do this.
I know I can use a seperate log-in account and re-make the entire webpage there, but I consider that to be a last resort and I am looking for a better method than this.
Any suggestions? The site is http://www.oatag.org

Then, I have been
discarding all of them except for the folder of the
site I want to publish, which I have to name
"public_html" to conform with our domain provider's
requirements. This works great, except the RSS feed
is broken when I do this.
When you break the site structure by changing names of folders you also break the link for the RSS feed.
I find it hard to believe you are really required to change the name of the folder like that. Instead you should be inserting into the folder called public_html the following two things: the folder published by iWeb which has the same name as your site does inside iWeb, plus the index html file published alongside it. To make sure that this index.html file actually points to the site you are uploading, make sure this site is at the top of the list inside iWeb before publishing.

Problem submitting RSS feed

I am trying to launch my podcast on iTunes, and I'm using a Soundcloud-generated RSS feed. But I keep getting an error message when I sumit it to iTunes: Invalid XML: Error on line 191:The reference to entity "a" must end with the ';' delimeter
The URL of the feed is http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:18637591/sounds.rss
I cannot understand how to fix this, and when I try to validate the feed, everything seems to be fine: http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.soundcloud.com%2Fu sers%2Fsoundcloud%3Ausers%3A18637591%2Fs…
Does anybody understand what is the reason behind this error?

The URL you give redirects to http://utenfilter.net/feed/ when submitted to a feed validator, but when viewed in a browser it redirects to http://utenfilter.net/ which is a web page. When subscribing the URL you gave manually to iTunes the feed comes up empty but it works with http://utenfilter.net/feed/
Evidently the Store, like the iTunes application, is reading the web page version - this does have more than 191 lines and the coding on line 191 has an 'a' variable so that's evidently the error they are reporting. The real feed doesn't have as many as 191 lines.
You need to submit http://utenfilter.net/feed/ to the Store; the URL you initially gave is not useful (all these redirects are a quick way of causing problems).

Something is wrong with rss feeds

I am using Safari 5.0.1 on OSX 10.5.8. Recently Safari stopped deleting old rss feeds. I went to Safari's preferences->RSS and clicked "Remove Now".
Now I have a problem where my system.log file is filling up with lines and lines like this:
Sep 5 13:12:02 ip-address-sanitized PubSubAgent[371]: FileDeleter: <file://localhost/Users/myusername/Library/PubSub/Feeds/d7e340ff6462708b5519d65 d3faab82ecb6c4c37/735a8fc0b5f5f498d021979b0c3fa7458b49e3cd.xml> got CFURL error -10
Looking for these files I can see they don't exist. I do find the folder, and plenty of files inside, but no file named the same.
Any ideas?

I did that, and accidentally added the bold too. But now I can't change the bold so I just left it in. This part of the log includes my ip address in every entry.

Safari 4 slower loading with RSS feeds

Don't know what happened in Safari 4 (4.0.2), but now it is much slower loading initially because of the way RSS feeds in the bookmarks bar are now being handled. I can not use the browser until all the RSS feeds have been checked. Even when clicking on an RSS item within a particular page such as CNN, the time to open that feed is significantly slower.
There has always been occasional problems with the bookmark bar for RSS feeds showing there are unread feeds, yet nothing shows unread beside the individual feeds. The problem now happens almost every day. The only solution is to choose the view all RSS feeds and find the unread items.
I am also noticing that web page loading is also much slower than it was in 3.x. Get tired of that spinning loading at the right of the address entry bar. The beach ball is more interesting because it is in color.
I have 18 Mbps broadband, so that isn't the problem, as all the slowdowns happened as soon as I started using Safari 4.
So much for snappier loading

I don't understand why you're using Safari for your RSS feeds; it's not an ideal solution compared to a dedicated RSS reader like Vienna, NetNewsWire, or Newsfire; I'd use one of those and turn off RSS feeds in Safari's preferences pane.
But Safari 4 is faster than Safari 3; it isn't for you because of a variety of factors, so let's change them and see if we can't speed things up. Here's what you can do:
Try changing your Network settings to use OpenDNS
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and delete the contents of that folder, then use the Get Info panel to Lock the folder.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari and delete the contents of that folder, then use the Get Info panel to Lock the folder.
Go to ~/Library/Safari and delete these files:
Downloads.plist
History.plist
LastSession.plist
TopSites.plist (if you don't want to use Top Sites, Lock that file right after you restart.)
WebpageIcons.db
Restart Safari and see if your problem is solved.

Problems with RSS from SDN

Hi,
I'm trying to get all the SDN-Infos via RSS into a EP6.0 SPS11. At the beginning everything worked fine. I integrated the Weblog-Content with the XML-iView. But the RSS feed regarding to the SDN forum doesn't work. I always get the following error message: "Error while using XML iView, please contact your system administrator"
What's different between the Weblog feeds and the forum feeds?
Regards
Steffen

Hello,
this problem appears with certain browser types and releases.

Problem adding RSS feeds in Mail

After upgrading to SL, I'm having some issues with adding new RSS feeds in Mail.app. Some of the feeds are being added without any problem (e.g. http://rss.support.apple.com/macos) while others can't be added (e.g. http://images.apple.com/main/rss/hotnews/hotnews.rss): when I click "Subscribe in Mail" in Safari, the Mail.app window gains focus but no other (visible) action is performed; when I try to add this new feed directly in Mail.app, there's no reaction after the "Add RSS Feed" popup window is dismissed.
I've seen a lot of issues related to Mail.app in SL in this forum but I haven't found anything similar to this problem. Any hints on debugging/solving this issue?
TIA for any answers.

OK, I now resolved this issue. I removed the ~/Library/Mail/Envelope Index file, re-run Mail.app and after that I'm able to add all my feeds back to mail. I haven't tried that before so I'm not sure if it's a matter of the 10.6.1 update or just a solution to this issue.

LASERJET P2015-PROBLEMS WITH PAPER FEED

We have a HP LaserJet P2015 in the office. When the paper reaches the halfway point, the printer makes a horrible sound and will not feed the paper. Anybody have any suggestion?

So, I cranked up my old PowerBook G4 (OS 10.4.11) which has the older driver for the P2015dn and the problem remains.
I have made some progress: If I want to print with paper feed from Tray 1, I pull Tray 2 out a few inches, load the paper in Tray 1, start the print job, and the yellow Attention LED flashes indicating an error. Note that the Paper Out light does NOT come on. So I press the Go button, the Attention LED goes out, and the print job completes using the forms in Tray 1 as desired.
So I'm thinking now, What Error condition? and why does clearing it make it print?
Certainly seems like a hardware problem to me as this is NOT the way the printer is supposed to work as documenetd in the User Guide.

I found the issue, the service provided by UCM i.e. the GET_REMOTE_FEED as when checked in the source code found doesn't support https. So any request made on https will give no result.
