RSS Visualizer Screensaver shows 1 jan 2001 date!

GDay all - Ive searched the other subjects here at Apple Disscussions and a few users are having the same problem as me. Since updating to Leopard, the wrong date now is displayed in the RSS Visualizer Screensaver. Even with the new 10.5.2 update, its still incorrect
Any suggestions?
Cheers

  • Rss visualizer screensaver for mountain lion, rss visualizer for mountain lion

    I got Mountain Lion but now I miss my rss visualizer screensaver how can I get this back?

    Yeah!
    That s-saver is too nice and was my favorite since OSX Tiger several years.
    Why? Why it was too necessary to remove it??? Who does it  bother to???
    I was using it much more frequently then most of all new 200+ features of new OSX.
    I don't understand whole this. Apple, you're wrong about it, you are wrong.

  • RSS Visualizer only showing 4 articles

    There is an old archived question (#10318621) concerning this topic. The resolution involves Quartz Composer.
    I used the RSS Visualizer for years on 10.4 Tiger and it showed 10 items from the RSS feed. Was this changed in the more recent versions of OS X? Do I understand correctly that it is now hard-coded and the only way to change it is to modify the code with Quartz Composer?
    If that's the solution, I'll give it a shot, but I wanted to check before mucking with the code. And I'm curious how this occurred... was it just a design change by some coder at Apple?
    Thanks all.

    Yep, me too. Just 4 articles on the RSS screensaver. Not very interesting. Tried looking in the APPALLING Apple help for an answer. Apple Help is the worst I've ever seen on any OS. It used to be so good!

  • RSS Visualizer - always shows 12/31/00, only 4 articles

    Are there any new preference options for the RSS Visualizer in the Leopard screen saver? It always shows "December 31, 2000" for the date, only 4 articles (when it used to show 10 in OS 10.4), and it seems to show the headlines in the center of the screen and then again at the bottom of the screen.
    Is this a Leopard bug?

    I am having a similar problem. My date shows correctly (though I have my date/time set to German) but it will only show me the first four articles from my feed (BBC News front page). Under Tiger of course it was 10. Alignment is also off.
    Is this broken for everyone? Too bad, I might not use this anymore.

  • RSS Visualizer screensaver has lost feed

    I set my RSS screensaver to BBC news front page but one day it had changed to apple news for some reason. I went to change it back but BBC front page had gone from the settings list. So I called up this page: http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonlineuk_edition/frontpage/rss.xml and I cant work out how to get it into the list on the screensaver settings. Some pages i've googled have said to add the page to safari bookmarks and it will automatically add it to the list but it doesn't. Others say there should be a blue icon in the safari url bar but there isn't; just an orange one. I've got the safari plugin 'saft' installed so don't know if this could be messing things up. Is there another way to get an rss url into the screensaver settings list, like a doc within the OS that i can manually paste the url into? thanks, dren.

    I upgraded to leopard and there is an option to copy and paste the rss link directly in the screen saver options. Unfortunately I have had to revert to tiger again and after installing the OS from scratch, BBC news has vanished again within the first day of using it. Weird

  • RSS Feed Screensaver disappeared after Office upgrade

    I have been using the RSS Feed Screensaver but it disappeared, along with other screen saver options, after I upgraded Office this week.
    Does anyone know how to get it back?
    Thanks,

    If you go into System Preferences and under Personal there should be a link to Desktop & Screensaver. Under the Screensaver tab choose the RSS Visualizer screensaver. Then click on the Options button under the preview.
    This is where you ensure that the RSS feed URL is correct so if anything is wrong you should be able to fix it here.

  • Will Apple ever fix the 12/31/200 date RSS Visualizer Screen Saver issue?

    I had to reopen the discussion about the RSS Visualizer:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6474304
    I realize Apple may think the rest of the world (ex. CNN, Digg, etc..) needs to change their RSS feeds, but why not fix the RSS screensaver so that it doesn't default to December 31, 2000 and show only 4 news stories for most feeds? Even most of Apples RSS feeds don't comply. And this is by design?

    Better is to send bug reports and enhancement requests to Apple via its Bug Reporter system. To do the latter, join the Apple Developer Connection (ADC)—it's free and available for all Mac users and gets you a look at some development software. Since you already have an Apple username/ID, use that. Once a member, go to Apple BugReporter and file your bug report/enhancement request. The nice thing with this procedure over submitting feedback is that you get a response and a follow-up number; thus, starting a dialog with engineering.

  • RSS Visualizer no longer shows 'Press the _ key' below headline

    My RSS Visualizer screen saver no longer displays 'Press the 1 key...', 'Press the 2 key...' etc below each headline like it used to. It's simply missing, but everything else works fine.
    I actually use that feature to read the NY Times headlines, so I'd like to get it back. I searched for other people with the problem and found nothing. Any ideas?

    Hello, I'm also on 10.7.4 and have the same problems, which started when I updated to Safari 6.0 (7536.25). I tried the "com.apple.screensaver.plist" dump, but mine was in the library/preferences folder, and it still didn't help. Also, I noticed that when I go into OPTIONS from the SYSPREFS/Desktop & Screen Saver, for the RSS FEED, there's only the Apple Hot News; CNN, NYT, Bloomberg, etc, have disappeared.
    Also, and I'm not sure if this is related, my delete button, which I used to use to navigate backwards in Safari, no longer works...(?)
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks!

  • Rss-glx not showing in gnome-screensaver-preferences?

    So, I installed rss-glx from the repositories, and I can't select as my screensaver for GNOME...
    I have xscreensaver and gnome-screensaver installed, and I'm using GNOME 2.28.  Is there something else I need to install for this to work?

    Hi, it looks from your profile that you have a G3. The RSS visualizer needs quartz, which I believe is not available on your older hardware. You can do some research on quartz. Sorry about that

  • How can I make a form show complex composite data?

    How can I make a form show complex composite data?
    We would like a form to display the following information:
    Employee Names as the columns, 1 row for each calendar day, and each item in the block containing the total sales amount (and other information) for that employee for that day.
    This would require the block to function as a (composite) crosstab report.
    Here is an example:
    We have employees: Jane, John, Jim, and Janice
    We would like to see their total sales for the following days: 5/1 .. 5/5
    Jane John Jim Janice
    5/1 50 8 10 3 30 5 20 7
    5/2 40 7 60 8 10 2 30 4
    5/3 20 3 50 8 70 9 50 9
    5/4 51 8 40 7 40 8 50 8
    5/5 10 1 20 2 90 10 10 2
    We have a table with records of each day, for each employee, and their sales for that day.
    There is a possibility our list of employees can change as well as the number of days.
    Anyone tried doing anything like this with a form? We don't want to just embed a report because we would like to include other data as well besides what is mentioned above and we would like them to be able to change some of that data. Thanks in advance for any help.

    I have a VERY similar problem where I want to have this matrix on the form with six days worth of data (three columns for each day) for my data table. I have done as Momen has suggested and created a view (using SQLPLUS):
    create table weekdays (weekday varchar2(3), date_x date);
    drop view employee_absences_v;
    create view employee_absences_v as
    select weekday,
    absence_date,
    hours,
    absence_code_lvid,
    adjustment_status_lvid
    from employee_absences ea, weekdays wd;
    that hopefully provides a row for each day of the week for my data table. The view is created OK but I'm not sure how to get it into the form properly. Also, I am using the form to CREATE rows in the data table not just SELECT and DISPLAY and there may or may not be a row of data for a corresponding day which is going to be a problem for me using this view method, I think. Let me know how this goes and if you get your form to work and how? Momen, your method appeals to me but it's not 100% clear how to get it to work in a form?

  • Finder shows incorrect modification date

    Another horrible finder bug. It showed a wrong modification date for a pdf file that I had just changed. The date shown was 22 januari, but the correct date, which was displayed only after relauching finder, was 18 februari. The shell command "ls -al" DID show the correct date. Moving up and down the directory hierarchy did not solve the problem, only a relaunch did.
    At the same time I noticed that some other files in the same directory had ridiculous modification and creation dates.  Those dates were something like 2001, 1pm, while the entire directory, including all the files in it, was created on 22 januari 2015. 
    This is similar to a bug I reported here last week, where Finder did not show a certain file at all. I am using a different computer now, so that many hardware related issues are ruled out.
    I will file a bug report. I am spending a considerable part of my time filing Yosemite bugs.

    Had the same thing on my MacBook Air with a 256gb SSD.
    Finder was showing 177gb available. Disk Utility said 54gb.
    I ran the Terminal command suggested by others. And a MIRACLE happened!
    Now Disk Utility says I have 155gb available. But Finder reports an incredible 709gb of free space... on my 256gb drive!
    It must be a blessing from Steve Jobs.

  • VAT code change in NL on 1-JAN-2001

    The highest VAT code changes from 18 to 19% in the Netherlands on the first of January. We have put all you need to do in a short checklist in Dutch below.
    BTW hoog wordt 19% in 2001
    CONSEQUENTIES IN ORACLE FINANCIALS
    Per 1 januari 2001 aanstaande verandert het BTW percentage
    voor het hoge tarief van 17,5 % naar 19%. De consequenties
    daarvan voor het gebruik van Oracle Financials zijn niet
    schokkend of omvangrijk te noemen, maar wij zetten ze toch
    graag voor u even op een rij.
    AANDACHTSPUNTEN
    * Zowel voor Accounts Payables als voor Accounts Receivables
    dient een nieuwe TAX-code met 19% BTW gecreC+erd te worden.
    Ook de system options voor de verwerking van TAX informatie
    van deze beide Oracle modules moeten op deze wijziging
    aangepast worden.
    * Afhankelijk van de werkwijze en periode indeling kan het
    raadzaam zijn om de huidige TAX-code voor de 17,5% BTW een
    einddatum voor de geldigheid mee te geven.
    * De verschillende medewerkers van de Crediteuren en
    Debiteuren moeten geC/nstrueerd worden over het juiste
    gebruik van de BTW-codes. Zeker voor de periode van de
    afsluiting van het boekjaar, is het aan te bevelen daar
    heel duidelijke afspraken en procedures voor op te stellen.
    * Verwijzingen vanuit bijvoorbeeld artikelen, vaste
    gegevens Debiteuren en Crediteuren, naar de BTW-code voor
    het hoge percentage moeten gemuteerd worden. Ook bij deze
    actie spelen duidelijke afspraken over het moment waarop
    het een en ander uitgevoerd wordt, een belangrijke rol voor
    de procedure voor de dagelijkse administratieve werkzaamheden
    tijdens de periode van de jaarafsluiting.
    STAPPENPLAN
    voor het invoeren van de gewijzigde BTW code:
    1.
    CreC+er de nieuwe BTW code in zowel AP als in AR.
    Zet de datum geldig vanaf op 01-JAN-2001.
    2.
    Zet de datum geldig tot en met van de 'oude' BTW codes in
    AP en AR voor 17,5 % BTW op 31-DEC-2000.
    3.
    Bepaal een strategie voor de periode dat beide boekjaren
    nog open staan voor mutaties. In deze periode verschuift
    het zwaartepunt van de mutaties van het oude naar het nieuwe
    boekjaar. Afhankelijk van het moment van deze omslag dienen
    ook de System Options van beide modules met betrekking tot
    de BTW codes aangepast worden, indien in de parameters een
    vaste code is opgenomen.
    4.
    Pas hierna de eventueel op Supplier site en Customer address
    niveau opgenomen BTW codes aan.
    N.B.
    Let in deze periode bijzonder goed op de mutatiedatum.
    Afhankelijk van deze datum is de oude of de nieuwe BTW code
    geldig !

    The table for tax code is T076M - maintainable using T code OBCD.  For EDI file number, execute T Code WE02 - enter IDoc number and execute (F8). In the right window pane, choose select layout -> change layout and pick up the field Interchange file reference. Guess this is what you are looking for.
    OR
    Go to transaction WE02 or WE05 enter Idoc number and choose execute. When Idoc data is displayed double click on Control Record in left pane. Choose Details tab. Interchangable file under References.
    You can also refer the entries in table EDIDC.
    Reference to interchange file:
    This field contains the reference number of the interchange file in which the EDI message was transmitted.

  • RSS Visualizer missing from 10.4.11-help?

    I have an iBook G4 with OS 10.4.11 loaded and RSS Visualizer is an option in the Preferences/Screensaver window. I also have an iMac G3 600MHz (Snow) running 10.4.11 as well and fully updated using Software Update as far as it would go. But RSS Visualizer is missing from the Preferences/Screensaver window. Anyone know why? Is it an issue between G3 and G4? If so, I'm confused as to why it wouldn't work...if anyone can explain this or help me load it, I would be eternally grateful! Thanks!
