Safari 3: RSS Count in Bookmark Bar not updating

Hello
My only issue so far since updating to Leopard (I think I've escaped lightly after reading some of the other posts!) is that the RSS Feed Count does not always update in the Bookmark Bar once I've read the feeds.
Refreshing the page or selecting "View all RSS articles" doesn't seem to fix the issue - but quitting Safari and restarting does fix it.
Has anyone else come across this or know how to fix it?
Tom

My RSS count seems to have resolved itself - it could just be coincidence, but I removed all the feeds I also had in Mail as well as Safari (the novelty wore off!) so now they are only in one place on my system - the bookmarks bar - and it no longer seems to get confused.
Those who also had this problem - were those same feeds in Mail too, and does it resolve itself if you delete them from Mail?

RSS Bookmarks in bookmarks bar not updating.

Just recently I've noticed that my RSS feeds are not updating. Usually when there is a new article, a number appears next to the bookmark but that is not happening here. If I click on the bookmark, it shows all the new articles but there are no numbers beside the bookmarks to let me know that the RSS feeds are updated. I've checked out a couple other threads on this topic and one suggested deleting the com.apple.syndication.plist preference file which I tried to no avail. Has anyone else found a solution to this?

Jonas,
Check out http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=2711205#2740511. I've been working through the issue there.
Since OS X 10.4.4, RSS feed counts have synchronized via .Mac sync. Something about that seems to have broken in the last month or so. I'm sorry to hear you're discovered the problem too--that means it hasn't been fixed yet.
I have found a fairly non-intrusive workaround, documented at the message linked above.

I have imported bookmarks from Safari to Firefox but the bookmarks bar does not change in Firefox and match that of Safari. That's the part I need most. Any ideas why? Also, I don't see where to choose for Firefox to be my default browser.

I use a Imac with OS 10.6.7. I've just uploaded Firefox 4. I had Firefox 3 already but do not use it often. I've been using Safari. I imported bookmarks from Safari to Firefox, but the bookmarks bar in Firefox did not change to match that of Safari, and that's where the important bookmarks are. Any ideas?
Also, I can't find where to choose Firefox as my default browser.

Copy the files from the old Profile into the new Profile, replacing the existing files that are in the new Profile. That will make your new installation just like the old one.
Or if you just want your bookmarks, copy only the '''places.sqlite''' file from the old Profile into the new Profile.

Can you remove the "View All RSS Articles" and Counter in Bookmarks Bar?

Hi There. I have a folder/drop down menus called "MyMix" in the Bookmarks Bar with several subfolders of pages I like to visit regularly. It's a silly thing but I get tired of the climbing counter of RSS articles in parentheses that sits next to it. Is there anyway to remove that functionality? I have a few other drop down menus that don't have the same problem, so not sure why this one does it. I've tried copying the folder and taking out each individual subfolder but it still keeps the RSS counter and "View All RSS Articles" link in there.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Awesome, thank you. I should've checked preferences myself. Duh.
Still curious as to why it chose that folder instead of the other one's I have to display the RSS updates but I guess that will remain a mystery.
Thanks for your help!

Safari won't safe to bookmarks bar

I've added certain pages to my Safari bookmarks bar as well as deleted a few. However, every time I re-open Safari, those bookmarks are gone and the old ones are still there.
I am getting no error messages when adding to the bookmarks bar. It shows up just fine during the session. It's not until I re-open the program that it all goes back to square one.
Thought I was losing my mind a few times!

Hello and welcome....
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Empty Cache
Quit Safari (Command + Q)
Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, from your Safari menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.
If that doesn't make a difference either, try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file.
Open a Finder window. Quit Safari if it's open. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Now launch Safari. If Safari saves Bookmarks as it should, then move the .plist file to the Trash.

Bookmark icon in Bookmark Bar not working

Safari will not allow me view my bookmarks using the Book icon on the Bookmarks bar. The first time I click on the icon, it opens a Tab with "Bookmarks" on the tab but it just sits there a spins forever. If I click the icon 2 more times, I can see the list of my bookmark Collections, but whenever I click on ANY of the collections, NOTHING shows up on the right side. My Bookmarks' pulldown menu works fine but I have a ton of bookmarks within Collections that I can no longer access.
I've tried resetting Safari. I've repaired my permissions using Disk Utility.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?
If not, would someone please give me a link to redownload Safari 3 for Mac OS 10.4.11 as only Windows users can download a copy off of Apple's website. Apple has removed the Mac version from their website as they say Apple's Software Update should download the latest version. Software Update is telling me that all my software is updated.
Thank you.
Christi

Follow the standard procedures for Mac OS X miracles:
Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility > select your start up volume > First Aid > Repair Permissions
Restart the your Mac with the Mac OS X installation CD or DVD (through holding the key C on the keyboard). There select your preferred language and then not install Mac OS X but go to the File menu and select Disk Utility. There select your normal volume > First Aid > Repair disk. Restart your Mac.
System Preferences > Users and hit the small "+" at the bottom to create a new user. Select Log out from the Apple menu and log in this new user.
If it worked in the new user, the problem is somewhere in a file in your users Library > Preferences folder.
If it did not work, check your Apple Bluetooth Software version is at 1.6 and not 1.5.

Safari 5.1.4 renaming "Bookmarks Bar" to "BookmarksBar", causing the bookmarks bar to disappear

After I upgraded to Safari.5.1.4, I noticed that my bookmarks bar was completely gone. I went into Show All Bookmarks, and I noticed under the BOOKMARKS heading on the left, there was a folder called "BookmarksBar" (without the space between Bookmarks and Bar). Thinking I did something wrong, I used drag and drop to move all the folders from "BookmarksBar" to "Bookmarks Bar". Once I did this, the bookmarks bar appeared correctly.
However, after shutting down Safari and restarting, the bookmarks bar was gone again! I did a Show All Bookmarks, and the "Bookmarks Bar" folder was again renamed "BookmarksBar". It seems now that I can't maintain my bookmarks bar between Safari sessions.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

Hi...
You mentioned both bookmarks and extensions in your orginal post on this thread > https://discussions.apple.com/message/17872836#17872836
The problem is when you start multiple threads for the same issues, we have to go back and check each thread to see what troubleshooting that's been tried that hasn't worked for you. That is time consuming not just for us but for you as well.
In case you aren't aware, we are volunteerrs. This is a user to user forum. You are not addressing Apple employees here.

Safari 6.0.5. Bookmark bar list view Problem

I am running safari 6.0.5. I have a problem with the Bookmark bar. It recently changed from a list view to a scrollable preview of websites. I would like to return to list view.

In the middle of the bottom edge of the black area in the bookmarks window, there's a "grab handle" represented by three short, faint horizontal lines. When you move the cursor there, it changes to a hand. Click and drag the grab handle upward.

Bookmarks bar not displaying

Since migrating from Mobile Me to iCloud I have lost the bookmarks bar in mobile Safari on my iPad. In the list of bookmarks I have two bookmarks bar folders, one is empty, the other contains the correct bookmarks bar links. The bookmarks bars on my two Macs are correctly populated. I suspect Mobile Safari is using the empty folder. I have tried to delete this folder but cannot. Any help would be welcome.

Did you go to Settings>Safari>Always Show Bookmarks Bar>On?
Have you tried quitting Safari and restaring the iPad?
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button.Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and holddown on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in theupper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

ITunes Play Count and Last Played not updating?

Hi All,
I have an IPOD shuffle 1GB 2nd gen, I'm using the latest ITunes 7.7.1.11, I have Windows XP SP3 intalled. On Aug 14th for some reason that was the last time ITunes Play Count and Last Played columns updated in ITunes. I listen to and recharge my shuffle everyday. When I hook my IPOD to the base it is recognized and ITunes opens and says it's syncing, then after about 30 seconds it says sync is complete, ok to disconnect, the flashing orange light goes green & everything seems correct except those 2 columns don't get updated, does anyone know how to make ITunes start updating that information again?
Thanks for any advice,
Steve

Hi Paul,
Just downloaded and installed iTunes 8.0. I played a few songs on my shuffle and synced it again, the problem remains the same, the last played & play count do not change. I wonder what happened on Aug 14th because thats the last time it worked.
Thank you again,
Steve

Play counts and "Last Played" not updating on short songs?

It looks like a lot of people have had trouble with play counts not updating with crossfade turned on. I've never used crossfade, so this doesn't bother me. However, I do have a plethora of very short tracks in my library (owing to there being many video game soundtracks with short fanfares as tracks), and I've noticed that when playing any song that's 10 seconds or less, it will show up in the "History" tab of "Up Next", but "Plays" and "Last Played" remain the same. Any other song in my library, whether it's 11 seconds long like "Got a Star Piece (part 1)" from "Super Mario RPG" by Yoko Shimomura or 11 minutes long like "I Am" from "As the World Bleeds" by Theocracy, will update its play count properly when played. Why is 10 seconds enough time to play a song and add it to my history, but not enough time to update when I last played it and make it appear in the smart playlist of recently played songs? Is iTunes 11 so obsessed with 11 that if a song isn't 11 seconds long, it doesn't consider it to be worth tracking?

I am having this exact same issue in iTunes 11 running on OSX 10.6.8.
Short tracks (less than 10sec) do not update their metadata to increase the play count. However if I play a short track on my iPod or iPhone and then sync with iTunes the play count and last played info is updated.
This really messes up my smart playlists that use playcount limiters.
I hope there is a fix for this soon.

Play count for podcasts do not update when using Smart Playlist

On my iPhone, when I play podcasts using a Smart Playlist I have noticed that neither the "play count" nor the "watched" get updated for any of the podcasts I listened to (and yes, I listen through to the end of each).
After listening to several podcasts in the Smart Playlist (letting it play from end of one into beginning of next and so on), then syncing to my PC, all of the podcasts still shows as being "unwatched" and the play count field is blank.
Problem only seems to occur when listening via Smart Playlist - which is very disappointing since the Smart Playlist is set to only include podcasts I have not yet listened to (play count is zero). If this is a bug, it makes this feature useless.
NOTE: Not sure if this would matter, but I frequently listen to podcasts at 2x speed (double).

You have the shuffle feature turned on. Since Podcasts are labelled (by iTunes) as *Skip when shuffling* (to prevent them playing while you're trying to listen to music) when one Podcasts finishes, there is nothing else left to play. If you look at the play tally, it will say 1 of 1.
Turn the Shuffle off. If you look at the play tally, it will now say 1 of x.

Clock in Menu Bar not Updating!

Hi.
I am using a month old Macbook Pro MD101 OS X Yosemite Version 10.10. Sometimes, the clock in the menu bar is not updating. I still need to click it once in order for it to be updated. The solution in this thread is not helpful because I have no iStat installed. --> Menu bar clock not updating except when clicked
The date and time is set automatically under "Apple Asia (time.asia.apple.com.)" since I'm from Asia. Timezone is set automatically as well.
Please help!

from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Log out, log back in, and test. If there's no change, put the file you moved back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Otherwise, delete the file you moved. You may need to recreate some of your settings for optional menu-bar items.

I have safari in my iPad but bookmark is not working. I can not book mark any things. How do I get back my bookmark working so that I can open the web page I have already booked marked. Thank you for your answer

I have iPad 2.
The safari bookmark was working yesterday. Today book mark is not working. I can not book mark anything.
Did I do anything to prevent stopping bookmark to store? Please help me how to get back working my bookmark. Thank you.

See if this works.
Quit the Safari app completely and reboot the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
