Subscribing to Gallery - RSS feeds

I have created a number of albums in My Gallery from within iPhoto with the intention of letting the (extensive) family view them without my having to e-mail them etc. This has and is working fine. To save even more time I thought that the option to subscribe to the Galleries would be a good idea. I assumed that if you subscribed to the Gallery then every time I would change or add/delete an album etc from the Gallery this would notify anyone who was subscribed. In order to try it out I simply logged onto My Gallery via the browser (as would anyone else) and "Subscribed". This gave me an RSS feed that I added to my Bookmarks bar in the same way that I have other RSS feeds. The problem I have is that the other feeds show a number next to the title letting me know how many "unread" items I have in that folder. So if the number changes I know I have a new "item". But I don't seem to get the same notification for the RSS feed for My Gallery when I go in and add/delete/change etc a photo from within iPhoto and then re-publish. Hence it doesn't seem to be informing me of any changes..?
My idea here was for me to try it first before I try my (undoubtedly PC) other users next. But it doesn't seem to work. Is there a trick to this or a series of step I need to follow etc?
Thanks for anyone who has resolved this or can help

I was just searching through the forums trying to find an answer to the same question you are asking: how can one subsribe (aka photocast) to a flickr RSS and get a good feed that has large photos and not thumbnails...
And although I too do not have a direct answer, I do have something you might be interested in... Google!
Have you ever used Google's Picasa web albums? Well I think you will like it much better than flickr (unless you use flickr for its community where it surely wins, but I just wanted a free and easy way to photocast and I found it)
1) So first you want an easy way to upload pictures to google, which is essentially creating your photocast. To do this get google's free export feature that is a direct plug in into iphoto and works great:
http://picasa.google.com/web/mac_tools.html
2) Next, once you have easily uploaded photos navigate to the album's webpage and view it. Here you can find its RSS feed and copy that feed into any iPhoto as a photocast and bingo you have it with full size pictures rather than what flickr gives you
Limitations include:
1) Each album has its own RSS rather than an entire user one, but I like this feature over flickr's method of an entire RSS per user...
2) I tried using different compressions for uploading a single photo. From here I opened iphoto and tested the subscription feed of the photos. As it turns out, the RSS feed still generates thumbnails becaue they do not reflect the true uploaded images' sizes, BUT the size is much larger and better than that of Flickr's size making it a suitable photocasting method. But not perfect because the RSS feed does not contain the entire image as does .Mac's method...
Hope this helps,
TM

Subscribe users to RSS feed in sharepoint 2010

I want to subscribe the user group to the RSS feed for a discussion board in Sharepoint 2010 and make it an opt out feature not an opt in feature. Is this something i can do? And how.

Hi,
If a user wants to subscribe to a RSS feed of SharePoint list/library, he/she needs to access the list/library and then click RSS feed button in the ribbon to view the RSS feed in IE. After that clicking subscribe the RSS feed link to add the feeds to Outlook.
As it is needed to trigger the feed protocol to add the feed to Outlook from SharePoint, then every user needs to click the subscribe the RSS feed link.
So there is no OOB way to subscribe the user group to RSS feed in SharePoint.
Best regards.
Thanks

Can you please let me know how to subscribe to the RSS feeds.

Hello Friends – Can you please let me know how to subscribe to the RSS feeds.
Are there any read applications that are specifically designed to collect RSS feeds. Pls let me know the best ones.
Thanks

Hi,
Yo can copy the RSS link into Firefox address bar and it will open the feed and ask you which program you want to use to read the feed. There are many RSS readers out there. I use Outlook and the free Protopage (www.protopage.com).

Subscribing to Flickr RSS Feeds in iPhoto

I don't know how many people know this, but you can view RSS photo feeds directly in iPhoto. If you take someone's RSS Feed address from flickr, for example:
feed://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photospublic.gne?id=14777744@N00&format=rss200
Then in iPhoto click Subscribe to Photocast... and insert the address, then click Subscribe. All the photos in the flickr feed now show up in iPhoto! Only catch is, these appear to be just the thumbnails with no way of viewing the fullsize photos! Anyone know a way around this?

Can I find out how many people are subscribed to my RSS feed?

Just curious - I don't want to know who they are, or spam them - I'm just wondering about a count.
--drkenfp

There is no way to do this with the default RSS feed URL and iTunes, unfortunately. If you really want to see stats on your subscribers and stuff, you will need to translate your RSS feed to something like FeedBurner and then advertise that URL instead of the iWeb RSS.
Here is an example of my feed:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/dirtdoog
There are lots of stats available through FeedBurner... http://www.feedburner.com

Can't' subscribe to RSS feed in my wiki?!?!

I am not really sure what is going on. I have a few wiki's set up and there is on (users must log in to read) that won't allow users to subscribe to the rss feed. When you click on the subscribe icon, it just freezes. I even tried manually subscribing by typing the feed address into Apple Mail, but it still didn't work. It did prompt me for the username and password, but it gets an error and there is no feed. What am I missing?

I have the same problem. My Wiki runs as a SSL secured site. The docs state:
"If you enable SSL, you must create a duplicate non-SSL site that redirects requests for podcasts or RSS feeds to the SSL site."
However I do this.
And, I don't understand why it's not possible to subscribe to a https:// secured RSS feed.

I am not able to subscribe to RSS feeds or bookmark pages

I was having trouble with my version 3 of Firefox originally. I couldn't open it because it was saying it was still running. I found the correction to that problem (something about deleting a "parent" file) only after I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. When I uninstalled Firefox I sadly lost all of my RSS feeds and bookmarks. When I reinstalled it I was updated to Firefox 4. Since that time I have not been able to subscribe to any RSS Feeds or bookmark any pages. I am completely and utterly frustrated. Please help!

I hope it works out for you. A couple of comments.
Apple does not have a way to restrict searches on safari. It just is not there. But if you search the app store for parental control, you will find at least 1 browser that does. You can use that as your normal browser, and bury safari in a folder somewhere where the kiddies wont easily find it. Read the reviews, and see if it does what you want.
As respects purchases, remember that when you make a purchase, your password remains active for 15 min. I have been reading the posts here for over a year, and there is a continued stream of folks who download an innocent free app, hand the pad to the kids, and find the invoice the next day for $200 worth of smuf berries or some such nonsense. Keep eyes open.

Mail will not delete content of RSS feed in Snow Leopard OSX Mail Update

I have 2 RSS feeds that subscribe to in Safari and read in Mail. When I delete a link in the feed in Mail and they go to the Trash - all of the links reappear when I relaunch Mail ... the same link reappears in the RSS feed. I have deleted the links, quit Mail, re-subscribed to the RSS feed in Safari - but it still happens. It is as if you can never delete the links in the RSS feed. Did not have this problem prior to updating to Snow Leopard. Anyone know whey that is? Or is the RSS feature in Safari just poorly designed and inadequate?

The whole point is to use fewer apps if possible.
That said, anyone know how to copy/export the RSS feed addresses from within Apple Mail?

Create an RSS Feed to Church's Podcasts

My church posts its podcast sermons each week to iTunes Store (they are free of course). I would like an RSS Feed URL so that I can automatically get the new sermons in to Google Reader (or any other reader for that matter). Is there a way to create such an RSS feed for iTunes Podcasts? The church's website does not have an RSS Feed for this purpose.
I realize you can go the other direction, having iTunes subscribe to an RSS Feed (Advance, Subscribe to Podcast), but that is the wrong direction.
I am pretty technical, and I have searched the web and looked at things like feedburner, but don't see a way to do it.
Please advise if there is a better forum to post this in.
Thanks
Bob

Sorry - please ignore the above: that will get you your iTunes Store URL. (Comes of posting too late at night).
Start again. Go to the iTunes Store: click 'subscribe'. Go to the Podcasts section in iTunes. Control click on the line for your podcast (not an episode) and choose 'Copy Podcast URL'. That is your podcast feed URL which you can use in any other rss reader.

Rss:PubDate gives too much info to iWeb Blog RSS feed

Hi All!
Blog pages are setup in iWeb, and I've got an external "bot" that subscribes to the RSS feed from the blog. I'm grabbing the feed and stripping the {rss:pubDate}, {rss:title} and {rss:description} fields from the feed to re-format for posting in a discussion forum. (Note: no copyright issues here, as I write the blog, publish the feed, and host/admin/moderate the forum.)
I'm wondering if the {rss:PubDate} field can be stripped down to include less information in the feed? It seems the PubDate is derived from the date and time of the blog post that's feeding it. ie: I enter 12/28/1993 in the blog entry "Date" field... the RSS feed comes out with the date I entered, AND the time of day and GMT offset the post was created. I don't need the time of day and GMT offset in my forum post headlines... is there any way to put less information into the {rss:PubDate} field via the blog entry page in iWeb? I'd like my {rss:PubDate} field to read "12/28/1993" instead of "12/28/1993 04:23:57 -0800"
Ideas?
-Case

Bonjour
For RSS feed, iWeb only use the URL you write in the Site Publishings settings. Make sure that you've written http://thesnugglycactus.net/ and not https://thesnugglycactus.net/
But I don't really think that you wrote https, otherwise RSS feed would not be your only issue.

RSS feeds and tags for blog series?

Hi,
We are trying to establish a blog series for news regarding our small OS/DB platform (DB4). Granularity of Categories regarding SDN blogs is far too low to shrink the contents suitably for our target group by using RSS feeds for a Category. And I suppose there is no way to create a dedicated category for the small amount of contributions to expect.
So, the current approach is to tell people to subscribe to the RSS feed pointing to my personal account. This is only a bad workaround. I'd prefer tagging the blog series with a specific keyword so other members of our group could contribute to the series, and blog contributions to other topics by me could be filtered out.
Any suggestions? Thanks a lot,
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
My suggestion would be to use the SCN wiki
Each space has its own rss feed. I believe there is also a new way to work with specific wiki pages and labels.
I recommend you reach out to Moshe Naveh from my team and he'll assist.

Rss feed address for a wiki page

Wondering what the rrs feed url is for a group wiki- I've tried a few in mail to subscribe to but they dont seem to work. Maybe I need the password/user name somehow

I'm not running the Wiki software to check this; the following is generic RSS.
Is there an RSS icon (often an orange chicklet, though Safari shows a blue RSS chicklet) visible (somewhere) in the browser?
If so, there's an RSS feed. If not, there probably isn't. (Or your chosen browser doesn't display RSS feeds, mayhap?)
In most browsers, you can click on the RSS icon to subscribe.
If your browser doesn't have the RSS icon, you can usually determine if there is a View Source (often Cmd-U) and search for the RSS entry in the HTML text. Cut-and-paste the URL into your RSS viewer, and off you go.
Depending on the browser and how the browser and the RSS viewer is configured, clicking on the icon will subscribe to the RSS feed. (The feed will be subscribed in some RSS viewer, though maybe not the one you wanted to use.)
I don't know of a good way to get the RSS feed in Safari without either subscribing (and then fetching the URL out of the RSS stash), or without looking at the URL. I haven't found a chord that retrieves it into the paste buffer.

RSS feed, repeated password prompts

I experience this issue on both Mac OS versions that I use: Mac OS 10.5.8 with Mail 3.6 and Mac OS 10.6.4 with Mail 4.3.
I want to subscribe to an RSS feed for a blog. However, the blog and RSS feed are on a private, encrypted website. I can successfully add the RSS feed to the Mail program by...
1) In the "File" menu, select "Add RSS feeds..."
2) Paste the "feed://......" address.
3) Click "Add".
4) When prompted, enter my username/password as assigned by the website.
The RSS feed successfully appears in Mail's sidebar and the contents load.
However, later in the day it starts to fail. An exclamation mark (within a triangle) appears alongside the RSS feed. Clicking on the symbol results in the message below. I again enter the username/password, but later that same day, it will fail again, and again, and again.
"To view this feed, you need to log in to area "Mac OS X Server Web Services" on wiki.chsj23.org:443.
"Your login information will be sent securely.
"Name: ___________
"Password: __________
"This password will be stored in your keychain.
"{Cancel} {Log In}"
Thoughts?

I do not know if this is a permanent solution, but off-list I discovered something. If I access the associated website, I am of course prompted to log in. I now checked "Remember Me" via that login window, using Safari as my web browser. If I go back to "Mail", the RSS feed now works.

RSS Feed error in Google Reader

Like a number of people I have been having some publishing issues with iWeb since the introduction of MobileMe. I've managed to solve a number of them, but I still have a lingering issue.
I'm finally able to subscribe to my rss feed on my site, and it displays in Google Reader, but if you try and click on the blog entry in Google Reader it will not take you to my site. Instead it says the page cannot be found.
When it tries to redirect to my blog, from google reader, it adds "www" into the address. However, since setting up the personal domain I no longer have "www" in the address. I thought I had made all the correct adjustments in my MobileMe account and with Go Daddy. However, I still have this one lingering issue with Google Reader.
Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas on how to fix this? Am I missing something simple? Or, am I just wasting everyone's time...
Thanks.

What is your web page? The RSS Feed button is not necessary to click on in Firefox. Mainly, you will see an icon either in the address bar that looks like a satellite ( it also depennds on the theme you use) or on the bottom right hand side that lets you know there is a live feed for the page. When you click on that icon, you have the option to subscribe.

If you use firefox you'll see what I mean. However, I have the same problem but I just narrowed it down to my webhosting company, so I am switching companies soon. Just got two new domains and will be transferring this one to them.
