Safari Automatically Finding RSS Feeds

I am currently developing a website that will offer rss feeds. I have the rss link on the page, but I want Safari to autiomatically find the feed and add the RSS icon in the address bar you can click on it and go to the feed. What html coding do I have to do for this?

Try adding the following to the header:
< link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="rss feed location">
with the actual location of the RSS feed inserted between the last pair of quote marks. Remove the space after <.

RSS feeds no longer appear in Mail in Mountain Lion (nor in Safari). You'll need a separate RSS application.
BTW, this forum is for Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. The forum for OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion is this one:

Safari cannot open RSS feeds - "could not load any data from this location"

I can't seem to open any RSS feeds inside of Safari. I get this error message:
Safari can’t open the page “feed://feeds.macworld.com/macworld/all” because it could not load any data from this location.
This has happened on every single feed. I just installed Leopard. Anybody have any hints for me?

Hi
First try Safari from another User Account. When you open Safari, make sure RSS is enabled in the Safari Preferences>RSS. If you can access the feeds there then there may be corruption in either the database or RSS preference files in your Regular User Account. If no go here, then I suggest you reinstall Safari. See this thread for directions.
If the feeds work in the other user account, go back to your regular User Account: Open the Finder: Your User Account>Library>Syndication folder. Move the database3 file to the desktop, then restart Safari. Try an RSS feed. If no change, move the database file back to its original location.
Then move these two preference files in your User Library>Preferences to the desktop:
com.apple.SyndicationAgent.plist and
com.apple.Syndication.plist
Restart Safari. Again, try a feed.

Where can I find RSS Feeds on the Galaxy III?

How do I get RSS feeds on the Galaxy S III. I'm already subscribed, I just don't know where to find it and make it appear on my (lock screen) ticker like Yahoo news does which was already active on the phone when I bought it?

Choose Applications from the Finder's Go menu.

Sluggish Safari Performance, especially RSS Feeds

Hi all. Running a 1st gen 17" MacBook Pro (2.16Ghz Core Duo, 2GB RAM, 7200RPM 100GB hard drive) with all the latest software updates (10.5.3, Safari 3.1.1).
Over the past couple of months, Safari has become increasingly sluggish for me. From launching the app to completion of loading my home page (macnn.com) takes 18 seconds or more. The computer seems to hit the hard drive an awful lot while surfing, which results in a lot of beachballing and delays. What's especially bad is RSS feeds, which have become nearly useless. For example, loading engadget's RSS feed takes my computer upwards of 45 seconds, complete with a good portion of beachballing. Pretty worthless considering just loading their whole website takes seven seconds.
I've tried reinstalling Safari, which didn't help. I'd really hate to have to wipe my system entirely, but it looks like that might be what it takes.

That won't fix your problem. You'd be far better off turning off RSS in Safari and deleting any feeds you have there, and using a dedicated RSS reader such as the open source Vienna or NetNewsWire.
Try that first and see if things don't improve.

Safari 4 slower loading with RSS feeds

Don't know what happened in Safari 4 (4.0.2), but now it is much slower loading initially because of the way RSS feeds in the bookmarks bar are now being handled. I can not use the browser until all the RSS feeds have been checked. Even when clicking on an RSS item within a particular page such as CNN, the time to open that feed is significantly slower.
There has always been occasional problems with the bookmark bar for RSS feeds showing there are unread feeds, yet nothing shows unread beside the individual feeds. The problem now happens almost every day. The only solution is to choose the view all RSS feeds and find the unread items.
I am also noticing that web page loading is also much slower than it was in 3.x. Get tired of that spinning loading at the right of the address entry bar. The beach ball is more interesting because it is in color.
I have 18 Mbps broadband, so that isn't the problem, as all the slowdowns happened as soon as I started using Safari 4.
So much for snappier loading

I don't understand why you're using Safari for your RSS feeds; it's not an ideal solution compared to a dedicated RSS reader like Vienna, NetNewsWire, or Newsfire; I'd use one of those and turn off RSS feeds in Safari's preferences pane.
But Safari 4 is faster than Safari 3; it isn't for you because of a variety of factors, so let's change them and see if we can't speed things up. Here's what you can do:
Try changing your Network settings to use OpenDNS
Go to ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari and delete the contents of that folder, then use the Get Info panel to Lock the folder.
Go to ~/Library/Caches/Metadata/Safari and delete the contents of that folder, then use the Get Info panel to Lock the folder.
Go to ~/Library/Safari and delete these files:
Downloads.plist
History.plist
LastSession.plist
TopSites.plist (if you don't want to use Top Sites, Lock that file right after you restart.)
WebpageIcons.db
Restart Safari and see if your problem is solved.

Dashcode Web Widget - RSS feed only displays in Safari

Created a simple web widget in dashcode (my first experience with it) and when I deploy to the web it only works correctly in Safari. The RSS feed does not display in Explorer or Firefox. Having trouble getting it work on a windows computer and across browsers...any ideas?
http://www.divergingsoul.com/
Thank You

We were able to work around this by using jQuery to write the data we wanted into the RSS output into the "Item Description" field. And we just didn't use the "Item Description" field in the detail page at all... it worked out pretty good for us...

RSS feed no more update

Hi,
I have 2 macs in my home with the same problem.
All the rss feed i have bookmarked don't update automatically.
When i delete the pref file "com.apple.Syndication.plist", Safari update the rss feeds one times but not all 30 min like i have defined in pref.
If someone have some experience about this problem.
Thx

Welcome to Apple's user-to-user discussion forums.
Try deleting Safari's preferences file which is named "com.apple.Safari.plist". Quit Safari first. The easiest way of getting to the file is to put the filename (without quotes) in Spotlight. You will get one entry. Click on "Show All" and you can then drag the plist to the trash. Restart Safari and reenter your preferences. Let us know what happens.

How do I get the RSS Feed to work when loading onto server other than .mac?

Does anyone have any knowledge of this? I am uploading a site created in iWeb on to a Media Temple which of course, disables many key functions in iWeb. One thing it supposedly doesn't disable though, is the RSS Feed, provided you input the proper URL when publishing the site. However, after nearly 20 tries with as many variations on the url as I could think of, nothing seems to work. Anyone have any insight? Many thanks in advance.

It takes two things...
1. Entering the correct base URL in the Publish to Folder window, and...
2. Uploading the correct files to your server
Number 1
When you select "Publish to Folder", there should be a little text field where you are asked to enter in a URL. What you need to enter here is the base URL for your site, and in most cases this is simply your domain name: http://www.yourdomain.com That's it. Nothing more. iWeb will then take this URL base and generate a functioning RSS feed URL.
Number2
When you select "Publish to Folder", you are asked to specify a folder INTO which iWeb will save the files necessary for the functioning of your site. You will need to upload only the CONTENTS of this specified folder, which includes only TWO items: an index.html file & your sitefolder. You must upload only these two items to your server WITHOUT the enclosing folder (the one you told iWeb to publish into.
If you satisfy the above two conditions (and only if you satisfy these two conditions), then you will end up with a functioning, automatically generated RSS feed from iWeb on your own server. There are other ways of achieving this endpoint (a functioning RSS feed), but this is the ONLY way to get iWeb to do all the work for you.

Why iOS 6 not supported RSS Feed?

I have a page, what can i use, but iPad iOS 6 Safari not supporter RSS feed, what can i do?

Use any one of the dozens of RSS reader apps available in the AppStore.

I am trying to recover my bookmarks and mail RSS feeds+folders.

I had to do a clean install of Lion. I almost have everything back but I am missing a few of my backup files. If I can locate these remaining items, I will be done finally!
Safari bookmarks
Mail RSS feeds and mail folders
Oh
And it would be nice to locate my iTune's Artwork for my library items. Not not a deal breaker, there are just so many of them to hunt and peck for if I decide to do so.
I have looked everywhere I can think of for these with no success.

I ended up having the Apple Genius bar work on this problem for me. The plists are now hidden in the Lion software and they had to go into the basic language portion of the system and execute commands to locate and retrieve the information. However, I do have all the information back.

Rss Feed Screensaver

Does anyone know of an RSS feed screensaver which doesn't limit you to feeds on a list? The two that I have on my mac don't allow you to include custom locations for feeds and I don't know why!
Thanks,
Pete Cooke

It is possible to use custom feeds with the RSS scrensaver that comes with Tiger.
Just open safari, open the RSS feed you want to use, then add this site to your bookmaks menu.
After this, open the screen saver preferences of the RSS screensaver, and there you can chose the RSS you just bookmarked

The RSS feeds don't automatically update in Safari

I've been using safari for a number of years with my RSS feeds updating whilst giving me a number of unread articles in my bookmark bar. For a number of months this has not been updating correctly.
I read all articles but no new one appear dispite new things being posted, this can go on for days and nothing fixes it (not even restarting safari) unless I completely restart my system. I've had this problem as I've said for a few months so it has had at least one software update for lion and I think at least one for safari as well. My sofware updates are all current.
If I go to the feed page it only contains old articles that I have previously read.
Thanks

Thunderbird has hijacked Safari rss feeds - how do I stop this?

I installed Thunderbird a while back just to test its functionality. I use apple Mail.
Ever since, when I follow a link to an RSS feed in Safari, Thunderbird opens automatically. But I want to get the feed sent to Mail.
Does anyone know how Thunderbird is doing this. I can't find any options in Safari or Thunderbird to prevent this behaviour. And even when I deleted Thunderbird, Safari still tried to install it.
Please help!

Why does clicking on former RSS feeds in Safari open Thunderbird?

How do I change the way Safari 6.0 uses RSS feeds?

Before I updated my safari to 6.0, I had a button with my RSS-sources in the menu bar in Safari. When I clicked one of the sources it contains, it would open in a new tab (in Safari) the RSS feed for that source.
However, ever since I've updated Safari to 6.0, it opens the RSS feed in Mail (I haven't changed any settings what so ever) in a way that is not handy for me.
In the normal preferences menu, I can't find any way to change RSS settings. And when I use the Help button, and search for RSS, I don't find anything either.
Is there anybody who knows how to solve this problem?
Thanks,
Steven

Thanks for the quick reply.
However, this didn't solve the issue. It puts a button in the menu that helps you save an RRS feed. And when you press this button, Mail opens up to store the feed.
I'd like Safari to open the RSS feeds again, like it used to.
