Too Many "Updated!" RSS Feeds

Hello,
I subscribed to the Google Sci/Tech News, which covers a lot of stuff, which is great... The problem is that if the author even corrects a typo, I keep getting the same story over and over and over... I tried making a rule to delete any "UPDATED!" articles, but that's not part of the title, it's the article's status. Is there a way that I can get an article just once? I hate having to delete all the feeds that were updated, just to find 50 more old ones show tomorrow as "UPDATED!". They automatically delete after one day, but if it's an update, it won't delete until the next day.
Any/all thoughts welcome. Thanks.

A lot of those feeds may have come in the initial installation (like Washington Post, if memory serves_. If you were to reset Safari, they would reappear. Deleting them is easy. Access them using the Bookmarks, Show All Bookmarks item and delete what you want as you surmised.
As to becoming unresponsive, I am doubtful, unless there are one or two badly written. I have many more than your 50 (of course not the same ones) and these rarely give me problems. The only time is when I am at work and the proxy settings cause delays along with the poor speeds. Take note of the ones you really want, then delete them all: see how that works for you. Then add the preferred feeds one by one.
I think some unresponsiveness may be due to the way some web pages are written, but the netowrks we use may also have delays and this could be a problem as well: not one but many factors could come into play.

  • Password to update RSS feed

    Hi,
    Since a few months I've been getting this little pop-up window asking for a name and password to update RSS feeds (see below). This window did not appear before and the problem is that (1) it does not accept my .mac password and (2) I don't know which other password/username it might be asking for.
    I am using Safari on an Intel iMac.
    Any help would be highly appreciated.
    Best,

    Enter your name and password to update the RSS feed.
    To update the RSS feed "Filmkes", you need to log in to the area "idisk.mac.com" on rss.mac.com. Your password will be sent in clear text.

    HI,
    I really would feel very unsafe giving the password to my iMac on Twitter.com!!
    They mean your Twitter username and password, not your administrator account on your iMac. Have you signed up for a Twitter account in the past???
    To update the RSS feed "http:/twitter.com/statuses/friends_timeline.rss", you need to log in to the area "Twitter API" on twitter.com. Your password will be sent in clear text.
    When you type in the username and login and see: Remember this password in my keychain.
    That's right. Keychain Access (Applications/Utilities) stores all your usernames and passwords for you.

  • Error updating RSS feed, email and calendar

    About 2 weeks ago my Droid X running Gingerbread, stopped updating RSS feeds, email and calendar but other apps/widgets seem to work fine.
    If I go in to the RSS feed and try to subscribe to a new feed I get the following error message, "Can't add news subscription now. Try again later."
    Also noticed that Check for update gives "Check for update is not available at this time. Try again later."
    My thought was to try to manually reinstall Gingerbread.  Followed instructions found on other forum sites but when trying to reload GB from recovery I get the following error:
    "Installing update...
    assert failed: file_get.prop("/system build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "verizon/shadow_vzw/cdma_shadow/shadow:2.2.1/VZW/23.340:user/ota-rel-keys, release-keys" || file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "verizon/shadow_vzw/cdma_shadow:2.3.3/4.5.1_57_DX5-18/110410:user/release-keys"
    E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
    (Status 7)
    Installation aborted."
    I am trying to avoid a factory reset of the phone but would appreciate any help/suggestions that anyone has.

    Hello tjoreilly,
    Thanks for providing your experience on refreshing the RSS feeds on your device. Based on the information you have given and what Cody21 previously stated, I recommend as factory reset also. Before doing a reset, I suggest verifying that your contacts are saved on Gmail and/or backup assistant and calendars are backed up on your Gmail account. This is  to ensure that your personal info can easily be restored after the factory reset. Any digital media, like pictures and videos, will be saved on your memory card & won't be erased unless you wish to do so.
    Once the reset is done, try to access and update your RSS feed to your preference to confirm that the issue is resolved. If so, please respond to this posting so other can benefit from your experience. If not, then feel free to elaborate on your experience after the reset so we can further assist. 
    Thank you...

  • Software update server showing too many updates

    We are having an issue with our Software Update Server on 10.6.8.  It has started showing too many updates to the clients.  For example, it will show the iTunes 10.5.1 update as well as iTunes 10.5 update if the 10.5 update hasn't been applied.  If iTunes is several versions behind, it will show all those updates too.  I also see this on Security Updates and Raw Compatibility updates. 
    At first I thought this was due to turing on the ability to host Lion updates, but it isn't the case.  I have since turned on SUS on a different machine and it still does this for updates.
    Anyone have a fix for this?

    Same issue with our 2008 XServe.  At 3am to 8am this morning, Software Update Server went loony & downloaded over 18GB of old updates.
    Naturally, after tracking down this was the culprit, I've gone in & temporarily disabled Copy all updates from Apple, and disabled Automatically enable copied updates.  To preserve our miniscule amount of broadband download quota remaining - it had shrunk to 500MB for the coming fortnight.
    So we'll have to data-diet.
    No idea why 18GB of old updates were downloaded out of the blue by Software Update Server.  I wonder if yesterday's release of Apple Software Installer Update 1.0 somehow adjusted the back end of update management.

  • ITunes not updating RSS feed.

    I am hoping someone will be able to help me figure this out:
    After a hiatus of several months, I have started releasing new podcast episodes. The last episode in the iTunes store directory was Nov. 14, 2012.
    In the last week I have released 2 new episodes, but since the content was time sensitive I backdated them. I changed the Nov. 14 podcast to July 20 and then added a September 15 and a February 22, 2013 episode.
    The changes show up through iTunes software, but not in the iTunes store. It still shows the last episode as being Nov. 14, 2012. It has been 4 going on 5 days without any changes.
    Also, iTunes is not displaying my podcast logo, even though I have uploaded a 1400 X 1400 jpeg.
    I have checked and the podcast feed validates without a problem.
    I am at a loss as to what to look for or try next. If anyone has any ideas I would be very appreciative for any advice.

    Thank you.

    Hi Roger,
    I contacted Apple and received this confusing reply (cut and paste below). It is confusing on 2 counts; 1) My feed validates just fine and 2) within minutes of receiving it, iTunes updated my feed to show 2 missing episodes.
    Still, the artwork is not showing and I posted another (backdated) episode over a week ago and it still hasn't shown up in the store yet either.
    I am wondering if I should resubmit my feed as the Apple support email suggests but do not want to loose my current subscribers.
    Any thoughts?
    This is the email I received from Apple:
    Dear Malcolm,
    Welcome to iTunes Store Customer Support. My name is Abdul and I will be happy to assist you.
    I'm sorry to hear that you have been unable to get your podcast listed on the iTunes Store. Addressing your concern is important to me.
    Malcolm, it appears that your podcast's RSS feed is not validating. To help find the problem, you may want to use a feed validator, such as this one:
    http://www.feedvalidator.org
    You can get help with many specific issues, learn how to test a feed, and view a sample feed in the iTunes Making a Podcast page:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html
    If you can successfully subscribe to your podcast and listen to each of the episodes, try resubmitting the feed to the iTunes Store. If you receive a message that the feed has already been submitted, the iTunes Store is detecting that the podcast is a duplicate. Please follow these steps to resubmit the podcast:
    1) Change the title and link fields of your RSS feed to something other than what they are now.
    2) Resubmit the podcast feed via iTunes.
    3) Once you have successfully submitted the podcast, you can change the title and link fields back to what they were.
    If you're still having trouble, consider consulting the Apple Discussions forums, which have a wealth of information about specific issues. Click Producing Podcasts in the Pro Digital Production area of this page: http://discussions.apple.com
    I hope the above information will help you.
    If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us and we will be happy to assist you.
    Have a nice day!
    Sincerely,
    Abdul

  • IWeb wont update RSS feed

    Im currently working on my website at www.ottoferdinand.com
    I have already published it and have 5 blog entry on the web. As you can see i put the rss feed link in front of my web, but the feed just wont update. It will only show the first 3 blog entry. How can I fix it? To make the rss feed updated properly each time I add new blog entry??
    Thanks.

    The method for transferring iTunes to another feed is described here:
    http://www.wilmut.webspace.virginmedia.com/notes/podcast.html#move
    However as this involves adding a tag to the feed you cannot do it in iWeb itself. You could do it this way:
    Download your feed and open it in TextEdit in PLAIN TEXT MODE, not Rich Text which is often the default.
    Add the tag as described in my page.
    Re-upload the feed using an FTP program. Do not subsequently make any amendments in iWeb for two weeks.
    Alternatively email Support at podcasts 'at' apple.com and ask them to move it (give them the URL of your Store page and both feed URLs) - there's no guarantee they will but they have done for some people.

  • Alternate ways to update RSS Feed URL in iTunes Store

    Hey all,
    Ok, so I am having issues with updating my iTunes Store RSS URL. Here's the storyin a nutshell. If any of you have experience with this i would really appreciate some help, because I have been stuck for week now.
    I started my podcast using Podbean.com as a host, and when I first submitted my podcast URL to th iTunes Store, I used the RSS URL that podbean gave me which was http://unfilteredandrew.podbean.com/feed/. A few weeks later, I decided to move my host to SquareSpace, therefore I have a new RSS URL for the podcast now. I understand the directions frovided by Apple on how to change the URL by inserting the <itunes:new-feed-url> tags into the XML file. This is where the problem lies. Podbean.com is not able to instert this tag into my the XML file (its a long story, I have been dealing with thier incompitent customer service for weeks now). Let's assume for now that this method is not optional.
    SO my question to you guys is - is there another way to update the RSS URL feed? Currently the iTunes Store see's  http://unfilteredandrew.podbean.com/feed/as my RSS feed, but I want it to see the NEW one which is: http://andrewunfiltered.squarespace.com/podcast?format=rss
    Please help!!
    Kellen

    Ignore the 301 redirect - this is really intended for other rss readers than iTunes.
    If you are creating a feed somehow and submitting that to Feedburner, which then passes it on to iTunes, and if you can add the tag to that original feed it will also appear in the Feedburner feed and the redirect will take place.
    If you are creating the feed only in Feedburner by entering details, there you cannot directly edit the feed - I don't know whether Feedburner provides a way of doing this: most online podcast creation services don't.
    If that's the case then you will have to abaondon the old feed. You should attempt to get the old podcast removed from the Store - instructions here (though there have been a number of reports that iTunes Store staff are simply not bothering to carry out this process) - and submit your new feed as an entirely new podcast. You will probably need to make a small change in the title, as a bug in the Store software may tell you that the podcast has already been submitted: and of course you will lose any subscribers or comments.

  • Web Service call to update RSS feed

    Is there any webservice method to force an iTunesU RSS feed update?

    Yes, that is the way we are currently doing it now.
    Since we are storing content locally, our faculty members can just "drag and drop" their mp3 files into the appropriate directories on a server. We are trying to eliminate the step of having a faculty member touch the feed.
    Hopefully this feature will be added soon.
    Thanks

  • Mail has completely stopped updating RSS feeds

    I have numerous RSS feeds subscribed to in Mail, and they have all stopped updating (for several days now).
    Trying to manually tell them to update does nothing. Also, if I try and add new feeds, it doesn't even grab the articles in the new feeds.
    Anyone know how to reset this?

    Unfortunately I don't have a great answer for you.
    Once I found the folder inside the root level Library/Syndication. Another time I found it inside Users/Library/Syndication. When I had the problem, I trashed this folder, then relaunched Mail.
    I still have the problem once in a while, and either Syndication folder has not been re-created. When it happens, I quit and relaunch Mail, and it seems to clear it up.
    It's really a pain in the neck. I don't know what's causing it. I don't know what else to suggest if you've already trashed both/either Syndication folders and then quit and restarted Mail.

  • SUS of OS X server 10.6.8 v1.1 offering too many updates to clients

    After updating our Xserve from OS X Server 10.6.6 to 10.6.8 v1.1 (comboupdater) our Software Update Server is totally "confused".
    For example there is a Client which needs 4 updates (according to SUS of Apple):
    Combo 10.6.8 v1.1
    iTunes 10.4.1
    Airport 5.5.3
    Remote Desktop Client 3.5.1
    Connected to the SUS of our xserve we get a list of 21 updates. The updates above are offered multiple times in different versions (for example iTunes 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and 10.4.1). Some more updates, which are not on the list above, are also offered (Java, Safari).
    Any idea, why our Xserve behaves such strange and how to solve the problem? Thanks for help!

    Having the same issue.  Have "Delete outdated software" checked and am using the url.
         http://su.domain_name.com:8088/index.sucatalog
    In server admin.  Overview tab say 568 updates. Updates window report total 308.  When a client goes to update it software I get 4 diferent iTunes updates. 10.2, 10.3, 10.4 and 10.4.1.  If i look through the list of updates in Server admin.  iTunes 10.4.1 only shows up.  I was going to delete the catalog files and dowloads and let it rebuild.

  • Too many updater icons

    I've got five (count 'em, five) Adobe Updater icons in my menu bar (Mac OS X 10.6.) They all tell me I need to download Extensions Manager 6.0.4; however, if I try to do so, the download fails.
    I've tried manually downloading and installing the most current version of Extensions Manager per discussion in another thread, but I've still got this flock of updater icons. I know I can disable the menu-bar icon entirely, but I don't want to do that; I just want to reset them so that I'll still get an alert the next time there's a legitimate update to download. Any ideas? Thanks.

    As noted in my original post, I already have tried the remedy suggested in message 4818581 (downloading and installing the Extension Manager update manually.)
    This did not resolve the issue of Adobe Updater icons proliferating in my menu bar. An additional icon appears every time Adobe Updater checks for updates, meaning I am now up to six icons suggesting that I update the Extensions Manager, which I already have updated manually.
    I am aware that it's possible to turn off the display of icons in the menu bar, but I want to maintain that functionality so I know when legitimate updates are available. What I want to do is get Adobe Updater back to behaving correctly, rather than spawning additional icons for the same (unneeded) update.
    Message 4726755 pertains to Windows 7 systems; as noted in the original post, I am running Mac OS X 10.6.

  • RSS Feeds are not updating in Mail

    For a few weeks now my RSS feeds in Mail have not been updating at all.  The settings for checking and updating RSS feeds have not been changed.
    Is this a mail issue or an ISP issue?

    I know this thread is almost as old as I am but I'm speaking to the folks who may encounter this question through a web search.
    Are you running network filtering software such as Little Snitch? That should be the first thing to check. The settings on the software (whatever it is you're using) could be blocking the feeds.
    I use Little Snitch and if I have "Silent Mode" turned on I don't receive any RSS feeds. There may also be a connection here to any anti-virus software you have installed. An aggressive setting in anti-virus software might be preventing RSS feeds from updating.
    Hope this helps.

  • RSS Feeds Do Not Update

    I'm not certain when this happened, exactly, but Safari no longer updates the RSS news feeds to which I'm subscribed and no longers puts in parentheses the number of new articles. This is bookmark bar-wide. Yes, I've checked to make certain the RSS Preference is set to do so (I haven't changed it). I even deleted a few of the Folders and recreated them with the RSS News subscriptions. No joy. I'm running Safari 2.0.3 (417.8) on a G4 Powerbook with 1GB of RAM running OS 10.4.4. The only software I've installed/changed has been the upgrade to iLife 06 and iWork 06. I'm competely stumped on this one.

    Timothy,
    I recently posted some links which were apparently helpful for another poster:
    This fix worked for :nathan:
    Guy Parrot tried this.
    Enter "Updating RSS Feeds" into the Search Discussions" field on this page for more suggestions.
    I can usually cure the problem by changing the All/Today/Last Seven Days/This Month/Last Month selection in "Recent Articles."

  • RSS Feeds in J2EE

    Hi,
    We are planning to develop a webapplication which includes a RSS feeds which uses a standardized XML file format allows the information to be published once and viewed by many different programs. They benefit readers who want to subscribe to timely updates from favorite websites or to aggregate feeds from many sites into one place. How we need to go about in java j2ee? Is there any JAVA API which supports this I saw JavaMediaFramework whether this is of any help. Please send few links on how we can develop this which will help me a lot.
    Thanks.

    Thanks gimbal, I am using the ROME API to create RSS feeds and publish it (standalone application). Where I am getting the updated details from the DB
    to display the updated RSS feeds results every 2 minutes using my TIMER scheduler.
    My queries are:-
    How i can publish these information in the web?
    Is it like rather than creating a stand alone desktop app. with main(String args[])
    create a servlet application which will be running in a servlet container, create an index.html for this application which will have
    the URL for RSS feeds to be accessed by the users?
    How these updated RSS feeds which is been published will be accessed by the consumer's and how we can notify these users about an
    updated RSS feeds?
    From the receiver end whether they need to install any RSS reader or aggregators to access the updated RSS feeds?
    Please clarify as you have already an idea about this as I am understanding how it works.This will be of great help.
    Thanks.
