Unable to open RSS Feeds in Safari, I am forced to use the Mail app.

Unable to open RSS Feeds in Safari, I am forced to use the Mail app.
Since I have Safari 6.0 (OS X Lion 10.7.4 on MacBook Pro bought this year) I am being forced to use the Mail app in order to open RSS Feeds, but I do not want to use the Mail app.
Does someone please has a solution for me? People form Apple, are you reading this? It is annoying me.
Greetings

Firefox doesn't show how many unread items there are in a feed, but Safari 5.x did. I guess I have no reason to use Safari anymore.

TS2834 I've been using the mail app that came with my Mac for over a year. Out of the blue, it will not open and keeps saying "Mail cannot open because of a problem" and something about not being compatible ??? Help! I miss my mail

Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try the action that you're having trouble with again. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V).
When posting a log extract, be selective. In most cases, a few dozen lines are more than enough.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some private information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting.

Whenever I click on an email address it used to allow me to compose using the mail app. Now it opens up aol in my chrome browser. How do I change it back?

I am not sure how or when I changed the settings. I just noticed two days ago it began doing this.

Open Apple's Mail application. Go to the Mail menu and select Preferences. Select the General tab. Where it says Default Email Reader, select the Mail application rather than AOL.
Best of luck.

Safari 4.0.3 fails to open RSS feeds

hi,
on my machine safari is unable to open RSS feeds.
I just get an error saying "can't open connection".
Also in the mail application the subscribed RSS feeds don't update.
When I change the system user everything works fine,
so it seems to be a user-profile problem.
I found several posts on that via google and deleted a lot of safari system files, repaired user permissions, restarted a lot of times - but nothing helped.
The problem remained after updating to snow leopard.

Hello b:
If you have not done so, reset Safari and then trash the preference file (com.apple.safari.plist). Then restart your computer and reenter your Safari personal preferences.

Bookmarked RSS feeds in Safari now open In Mail app?

Hi updated Safari today and now when I select a bookmarked RSS feed it opens Mail. Where is this preference set? I would like to have the feed open in Safari feed reader as it did before. I see nothing for RSS in Safari prefs..... Safari Version Version 6.0 (7536.25)

Ok I see now that the ability to subscribe to RSS feeds in Safari 6 is gone. Great. Thanks Apple.

Script to open RSS feed url's and post those in the background to a webpage

Dear everyone,
Im trying to work on a script that should do:
- Read My Apple mail RSS feeds every 120 seconds
- extract a NUMBER from the links from those RSS feeds
- then post them to a website url site.com/rss.php?id=<extracted id>
- It should run totally in the background of my apple
- The links should be posted in the background also without opening any browser or safari
Is this possible?
I have my apple now 4 months and this is my first applescript project, so its a bit too much for me, ive spend several hours investigating on how to do this can someone help me out a bit please?
on idle
if application "Mail" is running then
-- read RSS feeds from apple mail
-- Extract link ID www.site.com/?id=12345
-- Post Id 12345 to http://site.com/rss.php?id=<the id>
end if
return 120
end idle

Read My Apple mail RSS feeds every 120 seconds
Start by using a different RSS application.
Mail.app doesn't provide any access to RSS feeds via AppleScript, so there is no chance of doing this with Mail.app (or, at least, no easy way to do so).
Try something like NetNewsWire instead.
Once you have a viable app, the first part is pretty straightfoward:
on idle
if application "NetNewsWire" is running then
--extract a NUMBER from the links from those RSS feeds
tell application "NetNewsWire" to set numLinks to total unread count
end if
return 120
end if=idle
From here, though, I don't know what you're trying to do. You say:
then post them to a website url site.com/rss.php?id=<extracted id>
Do you mean you want to post the number of RSS messages (since that's what you asked for earlier), or do you mean you want to re-post the RSS articles? Or do you mean you want to download the links and re-post the entire linked article?
That's three options (and there are probably more), each of which require a different approach.

It is the source of your problems, IMHO.

See rss feed in safari

How can I see my rss feeds in Safari? There seems not to be a button.

You can use App Store or appstorm.net to find RSS Reader's. There is great applications for free. Also don't know if there is but you can check Safari Extensions. There should be one.

Try downloading another app - any free app - that seems to reset something and the apps may start working again. Try that first. If that doesnt work, try these steps
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.
Reset 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 - let go of the buttons.
Close all apps. 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 hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad.

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

I just wanted to know how to stop loading of rss feeds automatically ? In prior to FF 11 the rss feeds would display if there was no internet connection

I just wanted to know how to stop loading of rss feeds automatically ? In prior to FF 11 the rss feeds would display if there was no internet connection but now in newer version it would say live bookmark failed to load and doesn't display any feeds, in previous version it would atleast display feeds but in newer version it won't display anything:(

hello Nitin1234, the handling of live bookmarks was changed quite fundamentally starting in firefox 13 & upwards in order to improve the overall performance of the browser - now rss feeds won't get updated in the background anymore but will only be fetched when you're actively accessing them. this is probably leading to the unwanted side-effect that you're experiencing, unfortunately i don't know any way around that.
nevertheless please [[Update Firefox to the latest version|update firefox to the latest version]] (16.0.1 at the moment) to stay secure on the web, since there have been many [https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html highly critical vulnerabilities fixed] since firefox 11/13!

Can you actually see that the attachment has a .jpg extension? Some mail systems strip it off (I've seen AOL do that) which makes the attachment difficult to open.
