Set Default RSS Reader in Mountain Lion???

So now that Mail & Safari dont have default RSS readers support, how does one change what was previously set? Somehow the program "Socialite" has been set as my default RSS Feed reader. I do NOT want to use this program for RSS feeds but cannot seem to find a way to change the default association.

Use whatever RSS reader you prefer from the very many that currently exist. Find them at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads . You can also find them on the Mac App Store. A good one is NetNewsWire 3.3.2. It's also free.

Assign new default RSS reader in Mountain Lion

How do I change the default RSS reader under Mountain Lion and Safari 6?
Removing the configuration preference from Safari 6 was a BAD IDEA!
Anyway, any help will be deeply appreciated. Thanks.

How to set default RSS reader...

Hi,
how do I set an alternative default rss reader in ML ? I've NetNewsWire installed but when I select a feed:// bookmark in Safari it still goes to the default mailer (Thunderbird) in my case. How can I make NetNewsWire the detault reader?
Cheers, Fons.

I found and used http://www.rubicode.com/Software/Bundles.html#RCDefaultApp to set NetNewsWire as the default RSS reader. All fine now.
Cheers, Fons.

How to set default reminders list in Mountain Lion

Just found this out and others might find it helpful too.
If you want to add reminders in Mountain Lion from the date view to a specific list by default, then make sure this list is the first of your lists. You can reorder lists by simply dragging them up or down. Mountain Lion by default seems to add to the first list unless you already selected a list by clicking on it.
Took me around half an hour to find out but was critical as I want reminders to add new items to my exchange account only as this is the one that syncs with my office outlook and blackberry.

Thank-you!!! I was trying to figure out how to make a list the default!!!!!

Where is RSS reader in mountain lion

After updating to Mountain Lion, am unable to read google news. Message states no RSS reader.

User/Library>Music>Audio Music Apps>Sampler instruments.
Give it a try, I'm not clear about what you're trying to achieve. I personally don't have hardly more than a few "samples" that I have edited in EXS24. So then I just import them from those projects when I want to use them in new projects.
There are much more knowledgable peeps than me, and I imagine your problem can be solved!

Looks like I got it to work by selecting a document and setting in get info. For some reason it was not working before.

For all like me who have been fooled by rss disapearing in Mountain Lion Mail

I have read lots of threads regarding the discontinued support of RSS feeds in Mountain Lion Mail, but unfortunately, after I have installed Moutain Lion (I am really angry with Apple not to have communicate on this point and to have discover it at the end of the install!).
So, after reading a lot on the subject, here's what I have made to get back everything I needed.
First, I wanted to get all my saved articles back. For this I have gone in ~Library>Mail>V2>RSS> (you have to show hidden files) Here you have the list of your old rss mailboxes. Select the ones you want to restore and drop them into a folder that's not hidden (in a folder on your desktop for example) because you won't be able to see this folder in the file selection window in the next step.
Then go to Mail->File->Import mailboxes
Select "Apple Mail". Then go to the folder previously created and select all the .mbox files you moved in.
Now you will have a new mail box with all imported subfolders and alle your saved articles. You can then rearrange them as you like.
Now, to renew your feeds subscriptions, you have no other choice than to use another rss app. And to find all your feeds links, go to ~Library>Mail>V2>RSS> or the folder previously created and in each .mbox open the info.plist file. In each file look for the string in front of "RSSFeedURLString", double click on it and copy and paste it in your new rss reader.
It's not a clean solution, it's quite long (mainly for the import of rss feeds in the new reader), it forces to have old saved articles in mail and new ones in the new app, but that's the only solution I have found.
If anyone has a better one, I think lots of us will appreciate.
PS: please accept my apologies if everything is not clear, as English is not my mother tongue

I wrote one to integrate with Mountain Lion's notifications. The iPad version is not yet available. You can download it from: http://www.etresoft.com/etrefeed

I just noticed I have to run spell check when leaving a post here. The old Safari would automatically redline misspelled words.
Seems that they are taking many things away when we upgrade- don't understand.
That is a function of the forum software. Safari 6 has nothing to do with it.

Default RSS reader option

What does the preference in both Safari > Prefs > RSS > Default RSS reader and Mail > Prefs > RSS > Default RSS reader do?
Until now I've been doing all my RSS in Safari, which is OK but not stellar.
Now that Mail supports RSS in 10.5, I'm experimenting with it there. But as far as I can tell, RSS feeds that are subscribed to in either app seem to get updated in either app. So what does the "default RSS feed" do?

Hi
When you open (expand) an RSS feed in either Safari or Mail, either Safari will go to the actual page (if set as the default), or a specific RSS Reader will open.

How do I set up a vpn on mountain lion ?

Hi, is there anyway to set up a vpn on mountain lion ? I'll be traveling to China soon where internet access is limited. Is there anyway to make a free reliable vpn myself using my home connection ?

You first have to set up the VPN endpoint on your server. The only reliable way to do that is to install OS X Server and enable the VPN service.
To run a public VPN server, you also need to do the following:
1. Give the gateway either a static external address or a dynamic DNS name. The latter must be a DNS record on a public DNS registrar, not on the server itself. Also in the latter case, you must run a background process to keep the DNS record up to date when your IP address changes.
2. Give the VPN server a static address on the local network, and a hostname that is not in the top-level domain "local" (which is reserved for Bonjour.)
3. Forward external UDP ports 500, 1701, and 4500 (for L2TP) and TCP port 1723 (for PPTP) to the corresponding ports on the VPN server.
4. Configure any firewall in use to pass this traffic.

is there a way to make Feedly.com my default RSS reader? I tried using shrook, but it wasn't a good replacement since it doesn't save the list of RSS feeds i feed it.

I am new to mac, but i keep reading about Mountain lion. I just bought my Mac book Pro less then a month ago. my current software is OS X 10.8.2, Do i already have mountain lion? How do I check to see?

As the others have stated, you're on Mountain Lion with 10.8, anything. But you can check your version of the software by going to the apple in the upper left corner of the screen and clicking it and selecting "About This Mac". That will open a box that shows your software version. Once there you can click on "More Info" that will tell you everything about your specific mac configuration.
Welcome to the Mac family.

How set default pdf reader to goodreader

how can I set default pdf reader to goodreader

You can't. Safari will open downloaded PDF's from the web by default, form there you can tap on "Open In" to transfer the PDF to Goodreader or iBooks if you choose to.

Set a default RSS reader when clicking RSS button in Safari?

When I'm in Safari and I click on the RSS button in a web page, it loads up my podcast app (Downcast) which does me no good. I use Mr. Reader for my RSS reader (it's a Google Reader client) -- how do I get Safari to load that up instead? And then presumably it would then create a new subscription feed in Mr. Reader for that RSS feed that I clicked on in Safari.

I use Reeder. I thought I had this same problem with the last version of Safari but somehow I was able to turn it off (I want to see it first and choose to add it myself to my RSS reader).
But since Mountain Lion, I haven't been able to turn it off.

How to get rss feeds in mountain lion mail

I don't see any way to get Apple RSS feeds to show up in Mountain Lion like the previous OSX. Does anyone one know how?

You don't. apple has removed the RSS feed features from Mail and Safari. You have to get a third-party RSS reader now.
