RSS feeds stopped working in Safari and Mail

In Safari, if I click on the RSS box in the webpage address line I get the following error "Safari can't open the page.... The error is: 'the operation couldn't be completed. Operation not permitted' (NSPOSIXErrorDomain:1)". I have tried several websites (Apple, BBC, CNN, ...) - all with the same error
I have a similar problem with RSS feeds through AppleMail. An exclamation mark appears next to all the Mailboxes for all my RSS feeds. This used to work until a few days ago - the only upgrade that I have recently installed is Aperture 3. 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 can send / receive regular email without problem
I have tried restarting / shutting down, repairing disk permissions, selecting the 'open in 32-bit mode' for Safari, deleting the Safari.plist and the Safari.RSS.plist files, deleting and reinstalling the RSS Mail feeds - all with no effect. If I log in using a different account, I still get the problem.
I also have an iMac, also running Sno 10.6.2, Safari 4.0.4 and Apple Mail v4.2 (and upgraded to Aperture 3 at the same time as my MacBook). RSS feeds work fine on this machine in both Mail and Safari
Both computers run largely identical applications - iWork, Aperture and Intego Security Barrier. Intego is configured identically on both computers. The Security settings under System Preferences are also identical. Both machines use the same wireless broadband router. Both computers are sync'ed via MobileMe (which seems to be working fine)
I'm at a loss as to what to try next. Grateful for any help. Thanks

Hi rickb
good work on what you've tried so far... I'd suggest cleaning or removing System caches - you might try this... http://www.northernsoftworks.com/snowleopardcachecleaner.html since I've seen it recommended here before.
Failing that, although on paper it mightn't help in this case : try a Safe Boot - holding down the Shift key as your mac starts - then restart normally.

RSS Feeds not updating in safari (and Mail)

I have just realized that my RSS feeds (bookmark bar) stopped updating a few days ago. If I "view all RSS articles," nothing more recent than several days ago appears. Even when I hit "Update Now" under actions, I get nothing. I know there are recent articles becasue I sync bookmarks across two MBAs and the other is updating just fine.
As an aside, my mail feed is not updating reliably either.
I updated to 10.7.2 on friday, but my feed worked until Saturday morning. Any idea what might be casuing this issue? I'm stumped.
Thanks.

I have a similar problem. Some of my safari RSS feeds are updating whilst some aren't however if I go to the website and click on feeds again, it shows the latest ones. I think there's a bug in safari. I am running the latest version of Safari & OS X (as of this date). If anyone has a fix on this, it is greatly appreciated.

Flash has suddenly stopped working with Safari and Firefox.

I have a Wordpress blog. Suddenly, Flash has stopped working on Safari and Firefox in relation to my Wordpress module. But everything works fine from my PC laptop and other MACs owned by friends, etc. It is only on my iMac that Flash has stopped working. Any ideas?

Please read this post then provide some details. What printer model? What operating system? Do you have a 32 bit or 64 bit version?

RSS-feeds stopped working

Hello.
All of a sudden all RSS-feeds stopped loading. No RSS counts, Safari doesn't load anything when I click on one. I have tried resetting, removing the preference file, repairing permissions. Nothing seems to help.
I could add that they work perfectly well on my wife's account and a restart didn't do any good either.
I use 2.0.2 and have 152 feeds at the moment. Too many?
Anyone know what to do?

Iweb rss feed stopped working

About a week ago all of my RSS feeds made through the RSS iWeb Widget stopped working. Some research brought me here: SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier 'any' (anonymous function) www.icloud.com:1
Is Apple not supporting it anymore? That would be a disaster
Message was edited by: Idiot Media

Well yes, the fact that Apple has not supported iWeb for the last 3 years is old news!! Apple has not sold or supported iWeb for at least 3 years and iWeb has not been updated for at least 6 years.
The longer you continue to use iWeb and technology moves forward, the more likely you are to get things that don't work as expected.
Perhaps it is now time to ditch iWeb in favour of alternative software that is actually supported?
There is a lot out there - RapidWeaver, Sandvox, Freeway Pro/Express, WebAcappella 4, Flux V and EverWeb.
With most of these you can try before you buy.

APP expose/ Show desktop doesn't work in Safari and Mail

These gestures work in my other apps but not in these two mac branded and updated apps.
The lack of app expose is particularly infuriating in Safari where you can occassionally have more than one window open. Anyone else notice this? any solutions?
thanks

I get you. I am thinking more pop ups or other unintended new windows that open from time to time (Even in safari).
I liked using expose to see only my in app windows. It was an easy way to clean up clutter Mission control is there, but it shows everything.
I just dont understand why they wouldnt allow it to work. people could have the choice to use mission control or expose. They are not completely redundant processes.

What Happend to the RSS Feed feature in Safari and Mail?

It seems all the Built in RSS features in Safari and Mail have been removed in Mountain Lion? Anyone know if they are gone or moved?

The RSS feature was removed from Safari and Mail by Apple.
So they're gone.
There are 3rd party solutions you can use. NetNewsWire and Reeder are both good options on OS X, and Reeder is a great iOS client. They all use Google Reader on the back end.

RSS feeds not working in Mail

Hello Everyone,
My RSS feeds stopped working on April 12th. Two of them have given me feeds today but nothing from yesterday or the day before or the day before that. Very strange. I've tried quitting Mail, restarting my computer, control clicking on the individual feeds and folders and clicking update all feeds and the specific feeds. Any other tips?
Thank you very much!

Not sure if this counts as 'fixing' the problem; but here's what I did:
* Moved ~Library/Mail to someplace else (I picked my desktop)
* Open mail.
* Watch as .Mac pulls in the configuration that was synced to .Mac.
* Wait to download new mail (IMAP headers)
I did have to manually copy the mail rules .plist, but other than that, things seem to be working as I want them to.
Somehow, RSS started working.

RSS feeds not working.

So somehow my rss feeds stopped working. This happens for all my rss feeds (about 9) except for 2. Also one web isn't working for me either it's just stuck at the 3rd of october update... When I use a proxy the web page does work so I'm guessing the problem is there. I should clarify that I do have other mac's and pc's in the house and they are working fine, so I don't think this is a problem by my ISP. Any suggestions?? Thanks

Might give a try with Applejack...
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19596
After installing, reboot holding down CMD+s, then when the DOS like prompt shows, type in...
applejack AUTO
Then let it do all 5 of it's things.
At least it'll eliminate some questions if it doesn't fix it.
The 5 things it does are...
Correct any Disk problems.
Repair Permissions.
Clear out Cache Files.
Repair/check several plist files.
Dump the VM files for a fresh start.
As long as you don't have a USB connection in tandem with a UPS, which can cause problems.

TS3366 iOS 7: Back and Forward Gesture in Safari and Mail conflicts with Panning Gesture

Back and Forward Gesture in Safari and Mail is different than the back and forward gesture used to swipe between Home screens. The simple swipe with the thumb straight does not work in Safari and Mail, it conflicts with the Panning gesture. It should be relatively easy to improve the algorithm to allow for that gesture to work.

Indeed, swiping back from pdf pages sometimes works, but most often does not.
It seems that the swiping gesture has in all cases changed slightly. It is now necessary to swipe a little until a portion of the previous page is uncovered, and only then can one swipe back.
The fact that there is a specific way to swipe back from html pages suggests that there might be an equally specific way to swipe back from pdf pages. I am still experimenting. Meanwhile make sure no one is sitting to your right in case your trackpad flies off during a gesture trial.

Tiger cripples Safari and Mail for WiFi

I was at a Panera Bread store attempting to connect to their free WiFi access. While my airport showed a connection at full power and all airport diagnostics reported the airport connection to PANERA working fine, Safari and Mail would NOT WORK. Blank screens under Safari and Mail would not connect.
Under Panther, I had no trouble connecting to any Panera Bread WiFiÑno adjustments needed, the airport in my PowerBook just connected. But under Tiger, however, I was unable to view web pages within Safari or use Mac Mail.
After spending 20 frustrating minutes trying to get a web page to appear under Safari, I opened Internet Explorer for Mac 5.2 and much to my surprise, Panera Bread log-in web site appeared right away. Once I was on the Panera WiFi using IE for Mac 5.2, I was then able to use Safari and Mac Mail.
Can anyone explain to me why I had to use Microsoft Internet Explorer for Mac to gain access to Panera Bread's FREE WIFI site, while Safari would only display a blank page?
Can anyone explain to me why Mac Mail would not work with Panera Bread's FREE WIFI until after I had accessed the service using Microsoft's Internet Explorer for Mac?
Others have reported using FireFox to access the Panera Bread's free WiFi because Safari wouldn't display any web pages.
Under Panther, I didn't have this problem. With Tiger, it wouldn't work. Nothing!
Can anyone explain why this is happening? Or is this not considered a technical issue? It seems to be a big technical issue, especially when one needs to email critical business information and the closest WiFi to do so was not accessible under Apple software!!!!!!!!! Nope, doesn't sound technical to me.

I have a similar but not identical problem.
Everything had worked fine yesterday on my Powerbook G4 running Tiger with latest updates. Sice last night many applications (Safari, Software Update, .Mac, etc.) built into Tiger has lost internet connection through WIFI. The WIFI signal is full, provided by a D-Link wireless router. Firefox can connect to the Internet. Mail also works. But Safari, Software Update, and .Mac do not work.
The wireless router works fine for PC, and was fine with the Powerbook. It also works fine if I connect the Powerbook to it with a CAT5 cable.
I have restarted the router, cable modem, and the power book multiple times. I also renewed IP in the DHCP a few times. The problem persists. Can anyone provide any insights into the problem? Thank you in advance for your help.

My ipad safari and mail are not working. Why are they blank when I

For Safari try clearing it's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History).
You could also try closing the two apps completely : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari or Mail 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail and Safari apps to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Safari and mail does not work

Safari and mail is not working on my new iPad with iOS 5.1.1, tried every trick in the book but to no avail. Please suggest in case I want to update my ios5.1.1 as I fear that it might have corrupted somehow, what's the way to do it. I don't want to upgrade to higher iOS versions. Thanks

Close Safari and Mail app on the Task Bar and re-launch.
1. Double-click the Home button to reveal Task Bar
2. Hold Safari and Mail app down for a second or two until you see the minus sign
3. Tap the minus sign to close app
4. Tap area above Task Bar to return to Home screen

Safari says "i cannot open the page because the server cannot be found" I get this on Safari and Mail does not function. Apps work like a dream. All Windows OS are screaming. Any thoughts?

Safari and mail app not working on my iPod Touch 3rd generation.

I have an iPod touch 3rd generation and my safari and mail app won't work and it's driving me crazy! My safari app keeps crashing when I open it so that's not working, and my mail app opens up but doesnt load then crashes. Can somebody tell what to do?!!!

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
