RSS - can't load any RSS feed

I use RSS daily. This afternoon it stopped working. My feeds stopped getting updated, and then I realized I cannot load any RSS feed in Safari.
If for example I try:feed://www.apple.com/main/rss/hotnews/hotnews.rss, I just see a blank safari window, and at the bottom it says... "contacting www.apple.com". It never times out with an error message. It just doesn't seem to be able to get the feed. This is true for all of my feeds, and any new ones I try to view.
RSS works normally in other accounts on my computer, so the problem is local to my account.
I have seen others post here with similar problems, but I can't find any answers for my issue. Anyone have any suggestions?

OK, Looks like I solved my problem. I am posting what I did here in case it helps anyone else with the same problem.
Over at Mac OSX Hints, I found the following post: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20070916123611119
-x- snip -x-
+"I have experienced this problem several times in the past few years, both on a G4 PowerBook and Intel iMac. For no reason, Safari will stop updating my RSS feed counts in the Bookmarks bar. RSS still functions and will update whenever a particular feed is selected, but the parenthetical numbers for each feed or folder do not change.+
+The fix is simple and doesn't hurt any of your RSS subscriptions. Just quit Safari, remove the Database3 file located in ~/Library » Syndication, and then launch Safari again. I move mine to the Desktop and trash it only after I've successfully restarted Safari and confirmed the problem is fixed. Safari will create a new file in its place.+
+Easy enough, but I've never seen it anywhere else online, and have forgotten it myself a few times."+
-x- snip -x-
So I followed this and moved the database3 file out of the ->Library->Syndication folder, restarted Safari, and now RSS seems to be working normally.
By the way, instead of deleting the database3 file,I just moved it to the desktop, until I can confirm that everything is working correctly, and I will delete it later.
Hope this is of some help to you if you are having similar RSS problems in Safari.

I am running 10.5.8, and just updated my java to java 5 update10. Now my firefox is missing the Java plugin, and I can't load any Java applet at all. When I try it with Safari, it hangs when certain Java applet loads. HELP!!!

Suddenly my Java plugin is missing and i can't load any Java with Firefox at all, even though i have it enabled in the browser! i've tried loading in java embedding plugin, but it doesn't work. what should i do???

It's not in Tools> Add-ons >plugins? Should be Java Plug-in 2 for NPAPI browsers 13.5.0. What are you seeing there? I don't think it's called the embedding plugin any longer.
Might try getting the Firefox 5 standalone application. Trash the current one and replace it. Doing this won't affect your Profile or any settings.

If it's enabled, how can it be missing?
If this doesn't work, ask here. No need to register. Make sure you put (Mac) in the title.

EDIT. Oops, may be different for 10.5.8. Was thinking recent Java update for 10.6. But try installing a new app anyway. In the past, this got me the latest Java plugin.

When i put firefox in offline mode, and then click on pages saved in history , it can't load any pages or any images. i put cach size to 250mb but the problem is the same, it saves history for two months, but can't load pages.

Hi there,
When I inspect your site in browser tools, I'm getting 404 errors from your page:

In general, you are correct - but also your server does need to be properly configured (and those errors above lead me to think it may not be) to serve the file types that your uploading - but it could be something else entirely. Can you zip up your composition folder, upload it to your Creative Cloud files, set it to share, and then post a link here so I can download it? If you'd rather not share it publicly, can you PM me with a link to your composition files?

I suspect you have the original, 1G iPod touch. Those can only go as high as iOS 3.1.3,
If y ohave a 2G those can go as high as 4.2.1
Identifying iPod models
To update
The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes as far as your iPod model allows
iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10.X. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later.
To more easily find compatible apps:
iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
Vintapps 3.1.3 - paid app.

BookCamp will not help
PowerPC is the processor that Apple used prior to switching to Intel. It is a very old version of Apple for which support has been dropped.
It is not Windows which is what BootCamp will allow you to install.

Can't load any apps

Can't load any apps!

You need to provide more info about your problem.
Do downloaded apps fron the iTunes store get stuck in waiting mode?
Or can't you open apps?

Can't load any email in the last 60 min

Can't load any icloud email in the last 60 min any one in Michigan hving the same problem?

Interesting. This is the first time I've seen the Mail icon change on the iCloud.com homepage. It has the universal notice or warning icon. Obviously, I'm signed in but cannot use any of the iCloud services.
I've done everything that one normally does to troubleshoot such issues: cleared cache, deleted all stored Safari website data, cleared history, closed and restarted Safari, even rebooted my iMac and iPhone after clearing and resetting all appropriate items. Also, I tried repairing disk permissions on my iMac as an outlier. Finally, I rebooted my DSL modem and Time Capsule just in case. But, as we are not having Internet connectivity or wireless issues, that was a long shot.
And yes, my system is up to date with the latest software updates. I always keep it updated. My next step is to schedule a call with Apple support as I've already gone through all the likely troubleshooting tips. Searching the Apple support website for Apple documents led me to this http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4002?viewlocale=en_US, but these are the steps I already know to do and they did not work.

Hi, Shadiamond Murray.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Sometimes a simple power cycle of the router can correct the issue that you are experiencing. However, the issue could be a little more complex. Wi-Fi routers need adjustments to settings periodically for optimized performance with the constant progression of wireless device technology. Below, I have included two articles. The first article will cover basic Wi-Fi troubleshooting regarding iOS device connection. The second article cover the recommended settings for current Wi-Fi access points.

Can't load any music onto my new iPhone 6

Hi Everyone - I just bought my first iPhone ever - the 6, 128 GB - and am really frustrated that I can't load any music onto it. I try syncing through iTunes and nothing happens. It shows me a little grey circle next to each song that's supposed to be synced. Have tried:
1. Deleting song duplicates using a software called Dupin
2. Shutting down and restarting both my Mac Air and the iPhone.
3. Unchecking 'Sync' under the music tab and then rechecking it after.
Nothing seems to be working.
Was super psyched about finally switching over from Android to IOS, and so far, it's not going so great!
Photos have synced, no problem. But no music yet.
Any suggestions? Please help!
Sh

I've been hoping 8.1.3 would fix this less than smart bug on Apple side, but no, no luck. Does anyone know the solution to this? I'd like to sync my music, please. Makes me think I should not have given up my iPhone 5 and iOS7 so fast.

Help, My iphone can't load any of the downloaded application ever since i updated my phone last night through itunes!! And its telling me that it is error 1004!

HELP!! My iphone 4 can't load any of the downloaded application such as Facebook and games etc ever since i updated my phone last night through itunes and it indicates that it has an error 1004.
Anyone has any idea how to fix this ?

If the error occurred during the update you need to redo the update, as it corrupted something on your phone. Knowledge Base article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1275 says:
Error 1004 and 1013: This error may be the result of the connection to gs.apple.com being blocked, redirected, or interrupted. Adjust your hosts file or security software to ensure that connections to gs.apple.com are not blocked. If the issue persists, try restoring on another computer with a known-good connection. If this restore is successful, you will need to contact whoever supports your install of the operating system and security software installed on your computer for assistance. If your hosts file redirects requests to gs.apple.com, you may choose to follow Can't connect to the iTunes Store, in the "The 'hosts' file may be blocking the iTunes Store" section.
This usually happens if you have used a hacking program like Tinyumbrella on your computer sometime in the past.

STILL CAN'T LOAD ANY WEBSITES IN FF, ALTHOUGH NO PROBLEMS WITH IE OR AOL. I BELIEVE I'VE TRIED EVERYTHING SUGGESTED.

Mozilla FF page loads, but no websites whatsoever will open in FF. I've checked the No Proxy box, I've turned off my Windows Firewall. There is a Firewall for my Norton, but that's been there since day 1. One day I'm doing all of my FF things with no problem; the next morning I turn the computer on & nothing in FF will work. IE works fine; AOL works fine so my internet connection is not the issue. This is the message I get no matter what website I try to open (I also copied the troubleshooting text below this): Thank you for any help - this is truly driving me nuts!
Unable to connect
Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.aol.com.
The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

An update: as mysteriously as this began last Fri., it fixed itself (apparently) today. I left my computer on when I went out early this afternoon after again trying to open all kinds of websites in FF with no luck. When I returned from my errands it was back to normal - able to open all websites again. Evidently, the firefox elves snuck into my house while I was out & fixed whatever the issue was. I'd love to know what!

Can't load any webpages but internet works

I ran into an odd issue on a work computer running OS X Mavericks 10.9.2.
Every morning when I come in, the computer is unable to load any webpages using Chrome or Safari. Other things that rely on an internet connection (but are not accessed through the browser) still work (i.e. LogMeIn Hamachi, Accessing a remote file server, etc).
I don't think it's a DNS issue. I am able to successfully ping any website. AFP requests that rely on DNS lookup also go through. But I am unable to access any website, located on the internal network or the internet even if I know the IP address.
I tried manually setting the DHCP settings and rotating the DNS servers. Still can't load webpages.
I also tried restarting mDNSresponder and it still didn't work. The only thing that works is restarting the computer.
This happens every once in a while on other computers in the office, too.
I'm stumped. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Log out under the Apple in the Menu bar.
Log into Guest
Open Safari and see if you see the same behavior
If no, it's an issue in your User's folder.
If yes, it's an base issue.
Even though you are fully updated, running the combo updater can help.
MORE INFO ON WHY RUNNING COMBO FIXES ISSUES
Apple updates available from the Software Update application are incremental updates. Delta updates are also incremental updates and are available from Apple Downloads (software updates are generally smaller than delta updates). The Combo updates contain all incremental updates and will update files that could have become corrupted.
Combo updaters will install on the same version as they're applying--no need to roll back or do a clean install.
"Delta" updaters can only take you from one version to the next. For example: 10.9.3 to 10.9.4. If somehow the 10.9.3 is missing something it should have, and that something isn't changed between 10.9.3 and 10.9.4 it will still be stale after the delta update.

Can't load any transitions in Premiere Elements 10

OK. I know this is a newbie question, but so be it.
Just installed my brand-new boxed version of Elements 10, Windows 7, 64-bit version, and I can't get any of the transitions to load. Get the perpetual hourglass symbol when I try to enter the transitions section from either the pulldown menu or the screen list. The entire section seems stuck. Am able to open all of the effects, titles, and themes, and find media clips. Just can't get any of the fades, dissolves, or other transitions to even show up on the screen, much less actually click and drag any of them into the timeline. Do I need to re-install of the entire prrogram?
I'm working on a high-definition World War II documentary and need this program to work. Have been waiting for months for the software to show up on local shelves.
Many thanks for any shared wisdom from the Forum.
Flyingtommy

Thanks for the speedy reply, Steve.
Solved the problem, after three hours on the phone with Manush at Adobe Tech Support. Simply could not have solved the issue without his patient help. I can't sing his praises any louder. He was the best.
Turns out the problem was a conflict with the fingerprint authentification software on my new HP Pavilion dv7-4273 laptop, a feature I never use on my system. After literally hours of trial-and-error, going through all of the services and startup files, even changing the resolution of the display screen and downloading new video card drivers, we find found the solution.
The transitions section now opens and displays all of the options, just like it is supposed to.
Concerning your question, I wasn't having any problems loading or viewing my video files. The HD 1080, 30 fps files from my Canon 60D DSLR and my Panasonic AVCHD video camera (HMC-40) all loaded and played back without any stutters or dropped frames. I could put clips on the time line, add titles, add effects, and edit. I just couldn't get the entire transitions section to open, much less show me the various options.
Now all of those issues have beeen resolved.
So word of warning to anybody having similar problems with Elements 10: check for system conflicts with the fingerprint authentication software.
Happy editing to everyone in the forum.

Can't load any files

Hi there,
I just got Logic and Mainstage and installed them on my MacBook. Loading up Logic works fine but when Mainstage loaded it picked up the Halion Orchestral plugin (Cubase 5 is also installed on the MacBook) and as I didn't have the copy protection dongle in at the time it came up with an error message. I cancelled the dongle error and Mainstage loaded up regardless - but I can't do anything. If I go to File > New, absolutely nothing happens and I don't have any files to load up.
Does anyone have any idea why it would do it and what to do to sort it out? Is a reinstall necessary?
Thanks very much,
Rich

Yes, you should get a window offering a choice of templates to load.
From what you say, you can't load a template from the menu bar either. I take it that you have tried plugging in the dongle & restarting MainStage.
If that is the case, it sounds as though a re-install is called for.
Before doing that, you could try repairing permissions; that often cures irritating problems like this.
The other thing you could try is to remove the MainStage plist & try running MainStage again. If neither of these options work, then re-install.
Good luck.

Why does my computer recognise my iPhone 4 as a digital camera? I can't load any audio files. Thanks

I recently bought an iPhone 4 and a month later the Apple Shop installed IOS 5. My contacts have all been backed up but I can't get the phone to load any audio files - no podcasts or music.
Thanks, Colin.

When there are photos/vidoes in the Camera Roll, the iPhone will also be recognized as a digital camera when connected to your computer.
