For the past few days I’ve had absolutely the most annoying bug in my Snow Leopard system. Despite having every message read, in every mail box, the dock icon still shows that damned red alert batch.

Here’s how to fix that…

Go into Mail.app and create a new Smart Mailbox with the following settings:

Now, it may take a little while for the app to find all those messages, especially since it’s not excluding your junk folders.

After the spinning gear is gone, right click and select “Mark All Messages as Read”

If that doesn’t work, and 99% of the time it will, find the one mailbox with that mysterious unread message, and go to Mailbox > Rebuild:

While not an “official” fix yet, I found a way to fix the Vimeo settings for the Lifestream plugin.

This will allow you to use the Vimeo extension in the Lifestream plugin. I’ve already contacted the developer and posted the fix in the support forums here as well:

You have to find this file in your plugin:
/wp-content/plugins/lifestream/inc/extensions.php

Scroll down to where the Vimeo class starts on line 954.

On lines 913 – 926, you’ll want to change the following:

function get_videos_url()
{
return 'http://www.vimeo.com/user'.$this->options['user_id'].'/videos/rss';
}

function get_likes_url()
{
return 'http://www.vimeo.com/user'.$this->options['user_id'].'/likes/rss';
}

function get_public_url()
{
return 'http://www.vimeo.com/user'.$this->options['user_id'];
}

To this:

function get_videos_url()
{
return 'http://www.vimeo.com/'.$this->options['user_id'].'/videos/rss';
}

function get_likes_url()
{
return 'http://www.vimeo.com/'.$this->options['user_id'].'/likes/rss';
}

function get_public_url()
{
return 'http://www.vimeo.com/'.$this->options['user_id'];
}

You’ll notice the important part is taking the ‘user’ part off the end of the url. Vimeo no longer uses that format for RSS feeds (or anything), and that’s why you’re getting XML errors trying to add Vimeo to Lifestream.
