Hi
It seems that you have already updated newsfeed before but with some errors. Would you list the content of ow_plugins/newsfeed/plugin.xml file? There is an actual version number in this file.

Hi
This is the content of plugin.xml file. I restore my site with a backup. Now works fine but I cannot update newsfeed for the error list after.

Did you restore database too? Try to remove "ow_newsfeed_tmp_action" table and try to update again?

I do it.
1. Backup all site with your hosting tool.
2. Backup with Data Exporter plugin
3. Uninstall newsfeed plugin
4. Install newsfeed plugin
5. Restore backup made with Data Exporter, with Data inporter plugin.

Hello. This problem persist. I thought I had fixed it, but not.
Can I reinstall all my site? But I think that if I restore DB, problem will be not fixed, isn't?

Well, in this way you can fully remove newsfeed plugin and install a fresh version. 
It seems your newsfeed's table were corrupted previously.

Thank you Addenster, but if I remove newsfeed plugin I will lost all content.
Can I make a backup of DB tables? What tables do you recomend?

The issue Addenster is expressing is the fact that the DB for the newsfeed has some how got corrupt so if you restore the backup its possible that this issue will continue due to your newsfeed tables being corrupt.

You could take a backup of the database, uninstall and remove newsfeed and install a fresh newsfeed from the store. Test it if it works then try to add the backup if it fails then you know its an issue with the newsfeed tables in which case you would have to sacrifice losing the newsfeed content.
