RSS Not Working - Trying to Fix Stopped Safari from Working

I started having problems with RSS in Safari about a week ago. Every time I tried to view an RSS feed I got a long delay and then an error message page. And it isn't picking up on the feeds I have bookmarked when they change.
I was following the advice of another thread and deleted the RSS plist file, then relaunched Safari... And now Safari freezes immediately on launch. I can't use the software at all.
Anyone got any suggestions?

HI,
I can't use the software at all.a
If Safari crashes, post a crash log.
In the meantime...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Empty Cache. When you are done with that...
From the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 5 buttons and click Reset.
Go here for trouble shooting 3rd party plugins or input managers which might be causing the problem. Safari: Add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
Since you are running Snow Leopard, make sure Safari is opening in 32-bit mode, not 64. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Also, (in that same window) make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.


Web pages now include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon cache using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
bpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
If Safari still crashes, go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari.

  • RSS not working in Mail after MobileMe instal

    The title pretty much says it all "RSS not working in Mail after MobileMe instal" The names of the RSS feeds are still there but all have the triangle error message beside them.

    you may have already tried this but in the mailbox menu at the top, try to take all accounts offline then take them all back online again. if that doesn't work you can always do a rebuild which is kind of a pain, but it usually does the trick.

  • Can I stop Safari from starting when connecting to a network on my iPad?

    Can I stop Safari from starting when connecting to a network on my iPad?
    On my home network the wi-fi connection happens automatically without opening Safari. But on my work network, when attempting to make a connection the iPad lets me enter my user name and password, but then tries to open the webpage www.apple.com, which is blocked by iPrism as entertainment, so I can't actually connect to that network. oes anyone know a fix for this problem?

  • How can I stop Safari from opening new windows unless I want them?

    Since Safari 5.02, there is no box to check in the General Preferences to stop Safari from opening a new window when I click on a link. My expectation is to only go to a new window when I want to do it. Most of my searches go down a rabbit hole and I just want to go backwards without closing page after new open page (Same problem with Tabs. I don't want new Tabs all the time either. In fact, the only time I really care about multiple open Tabs or Windows is when I need more than one Window open for data comparison or something like that...)
    This is an incredibly annoying new behavior of Safari that I want to shut off. I have 20 windows open in the Window list right now. (I regularly shut off Safari to clear up all the useless abandoned windows.) Firefox doesn't do this, but I prefer Safari.
    I tried to search this one, but maybe am not framing the question properly. See lots of discussion of forcing new tabs, but that is not what I am looking for....Can anyone help me?

    Thanks Baltwo,
    I will try it, but I don't want new pages in tabs either. I simply don't want the link to open in a new page or tab unless I ask for one. My initial trial has google links opening in new tabs. Why can't I just go down the paths on the same page like the old days? Especially after I find what I want, I will go somewhere else.
    With your recommendation, I think that instead of pages open, I will have an abundance of tabs?
    Guess I am getting inflexible in my old age. If this is the only option, it is an "improvement" that I don't like yet.
    Firefox doesn't do it.

    Ok so just installed some update to my mac book pro OS X 10.9.2 and now I dont see how to stop safari from opening new tab or windows when I do a search in yahoo and I click on a item it opens in a new tab or window.

  • I have an iphone 4 that keeps deleting my notes. How can I stop this from happening?

    I have an iphone 4 that keeps deleting my notes. How can I stop this from happening? I've had my phone over 2 years and only in the past 2 months has it started deleting notes. Now they are all deleted, but thankfully still in my email, but only on a computer.

    I guess he/she open Notes in Gmail settings. This archives (one way sync) notes in gmail account under notes label that is invisible if you are using the standard gmail setup on your iPhone. You can see it on desktop browser, Safari or gmail app in iDevice. Am I wrong?
    Sorry for bad English.

  • How can I stop safari from showing my old entries in a drop down menu?

    I want to make it clear that I am not talking about the url bar. I am refering to suggestions within a webpage where stuff is entered (for example online homeowork for college students). I cannot seem to figure out how to stop safari from filling in my old entries.
    How can I get rid of this box?

    Have you checked the Safari Preferences > AutoFill settings?  The Other forms setting is described as follows:
    Let Safari save information you enter on webpage forms, then automatically fill in the saved information when you revisit the same webpages. To view or edit your saved information, click Edit.

  • How do i stop Safari from freezing while i'm surfing the internet?

    Ok, so here's the problem. Every time I go onto Safari, it doesn't respond after i search for something on google or go on Facebook. now, i have to use Safari in Safe Mode each time and the audio is disabled so i can't watch or listen to music videos. Can someone tell me how to stop Safari from doing this? Thanks. 

    Maybe try another browser like Firefox.
    Also, try creating a new user account on your mac, and log in to that, to see if you continue to have the same problems.

  • How do I stop Safari from 'pinwheeling' whenever I am using Yahoo Mail? I really need a correct answer please.                                                                                             Mail? I need a correct answer please.

    How do I stop Safari from 'pinwheeling' whenever I try to use Yahoo Mail?
    I really need a correct answer please. Other answers have only suggested how to access Yahoo Mail without using Safari. I want to continue using Safari to access Yahoo Mail,if possible.  Thank you.

    Could be a cookie issue...
    Go to Safari > Preferences then select the Security tab then click Show Cookies
    Type yahoo in the serach field then click Remove All > Done
    Quit then relaunch Safari.
    Try accessing your Yahoo mail account.
    FYI... there is rarely a sure fire correct response for third party web based email client software. Often takes time consuming troubleshooting.

  • RSS Not Working in All Browsers Except Safari?

    I've recently used iWeb to make a website (not .mac) and has been completely Validated at w3, and passed with no errors in the coding.. except when we go to use the RSS Feed Button in Firefox for Mac, Firefor for PC, Internet Explorer for PC.. the page comes up with errors - and displays a message saying: "This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below." and simply displays the Coding. So i checked the RSS page at w3 Validator and it failed because of an Error on line 42. The line 42 is this:
    <description><a href="http://users.bigpond.net.au/bjsp1/lacc/News/F4CBD4AA-E949-44E0-A31C-61159 9D79BD8files/DSCF1400%20copy1.jpg"><img src="http://users.bigpond.net.au/bjsp1/lacc/News/Images/DSCF1400%20copy.jpg" style="float:left; padding-right:10px; padding-bottom:10px; width:130px; height:130px;"/></a>Hello Everyone! Sorry for the lack of updates - we’ve had some technical difficulties - but were back with a new design and some more user-friendly pages. <br>
    So far the only error i can see is the &lt/a&gt etc.. errors, but it could have been an error caused by a change of programs (to get the actual line i opened the file in Microsoft Frontpage) Any ideas of why it is not working in any browsers, and how to fix it?
    Thanks!

    Yes, I'm puzzled by the whole RSS thing as well.
    Clicking on RSS subscribe from my website in Firefox
    gives me the same error. But if I click on the RSS
    icon in the address bar of Firefox, it seems to keep
    track of my site updates just fine.
    That's right. I forgot that FireFox has its Live Bookmarks feature which is basically the same as an RSS reader. While the subscribe button doesn't do anything, FireFox scans a page being viewed for any RSS feeds and lets you select them via other means. RSS is just a different protocol than http and different browers handle it different ways (or not at all).
