Accessing Public Site Manager

I've successfully migrated and published our site using Public Site Manager. How do I access PSM in order to edit the public site? When I use the admin log in the page no longer has a Public Site Manager link as it did before publishing.

The Sign In URL is the same for all iTunes U Public Site Manager sites and is: https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/DZStudio.woa/wa/SignIn
The Getting Started with iTunes U Public Site Manager FAQs are also a valuable resource for those looking to migrate their sites. https://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/DZStudio.woa/wa/SignIn

Public Site Manager Required to Publish?

Currently our site is stuck in the pre-approved status. My quess is that it's waiting on categories to be assigned, but will the site need to be converted to the Public Site Manager to be included in the iTunes store?

I thought it was taking forever for our site to be approved too. I logged into the private site and went to 'Edit Site Settings', which is where I originally submitted our site for inclusion in the iTunes Store, and there was a message waiting for me there. You may want to check there if it's been a month or two. Once I followed the steps provided I was able to access the Public Site Manager which is a whole other beast designed to manage the Public site separately. Once I completed the steps waiting for me, the message disappeared so I can't tell you exactly what it said (it's been a while too, sorry). Hopefully you have something waiting to prompt you into the next phase. Good luck!!

Locked out of Admin Acct in Public Site Manager

While trying to set up our Course Manager I managed to lock myself out of my Public Site Manager.
The last thing I did was follow some directions in the discussion forum that told me to add my Admin name as a Contributer in the PSM which I did, now when I try to log in as an Admin I get tossed into this loop.
Your Apple ID provides you with access to more than one site. To sign in, select a site name in the list below.
site.edu
site.edu
Both of those links bring me back to the main log in page where I get a message that says
Service temporarily unavailable
This has been going on since Friday. I reached out to our Apple iTunes U rep, and have not heard back from him.
Any advice from the community?
Thank you!

My issues was resolved by a Apple iTunes U manager, it was a back end issue.
I'm back into my site.

Beginning Public Site Manager

Where is the link to request the Public Site Manager? Is it supposed to be on the right side when you log in as an admin?
We are not yet listed in the iTunes U "Store" so I submitted a inclusion request last Wednesday (pre-approval status), which is supposed to make the link to Public Site Manager appear, correct?
Thanks.

Clicking the "Consider this Site for Inclusion..." button in the Edit Site Settings area of your site will notify us of your interest in creating a public site and using iTunes U Public Site Manager. We will enable migration for your site within 72 hours. We understand that you are looking to get access to iTunes U Public Site Manager. Your site will not be published to the iTunes Store. You will ultimately do this yourself in iTunes U Public Site Manager.

I cannot Publish my site after using the Publish Public Site Manager. An error, with no explanation is returned.

The problem we’re having has to do with transitioning our existing Easter I Tunes U site over to an iTunes U Public site as the instructions below tell us to do.
-          I can access the itunes U Public Site Manager fine with my ID.
-          I was able to make some changes to our existing site to get it ready for publishing it to the iTunes U public site format.
-          I can preview our existing site as a new Public Site fine from within the Public Site Manager application.
-          However, when I try to Publish it I get an error that says :   An error has occurred during the publishing of your content. Try again
Looking for some support to tell me what we’re not doing correctly to migrate our existing site over.

Here are the answers
Eastern CT State University is no longer in the iTunes U directory .    r
The have not migrated their site to iTunes U Public Site Manager. Starting June 2010 we notified all iTunes U site administrators for any site in the iTunes store that they would need to migrate their existing site to iTunes U Public Site Manager in the future. In Feb. 2011 we notified them that the deadline for migration would be April 2011 and that if they had not migrated their site would no longer appear on the list.
For Eastern CT State University to return to the list, they just need to transition over to an iTunes U Public Site Manager based site. Information on how to do so can be found here -http://deimos.apple.com/rsrc/doc/UsingiTunesUPublicSiteManager/CommonQuestions/c hapter_14_section_2.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/iTUPSM-CH5-SW2

Nick Good ?uestion!
I am the New Admin for The University of New Orleans, and after reading the response to your initial question I think we fall into the category of needing to migrate to Public site manager. But looking at the tutorial which is mainly text, I cannot follow the instructions. Do you have a screen shot of what step two because I cannot find the " iTunes U Public Site Manager in the Tools area."
Thank you!

Logging in to public site manager.

I am unable to log in to site manager? It says my apple id is invalid, however, I can log in to the itunes store with that account. I was able to get in and change my theme, etc, but cannot log in to public site manager and add users. I'm so confused!!!! How can I get an email re-sent to the manager of our iTunes U site? When I first log in, it takes me to itunes the store and I can change my theme, etc and I finally appear in the store. I was able to add another user as an admin to create a course, but my institution and my course never appear in itunes U?

Launch the Keychain Access application and search for the server name.

ITunes U Public Site Manager Application

I did not put a high enough supervisor for the Public Site manager as we are a k-12 school and high managers would have had issues even knowing how to access a course, let alone be in charge, but I have been rejected. How do I apply again?

Duncan,
I appreciate your willingness to help. The site can be found here:

I am the site administrator, and I want to add content to an existing collection. I have been adding content to existing collections since the site was created several years ago, but since the recent June 1 update to the Public Site Manager things have obviously changed and I cannot seem to find a way to add content. Maybe I am missing something obvious, but I can't seem to figure out how to do this.
As a work around, I created a new apple ID and added it as a "user" and then as a "contributor" to the collection I want to add content to. I then logged out and then in again as this new contributor, and I was able to add the content as before (the update). I was hoping that I would be able to log in as the administrator and upload content without having to use another login.

Public Site Manager - GIF files

It appears the PSM will only accept JPG or PNG files for album art. Since our current site uses GIF file in many feeds, I assume I'll have to convert all to a supported format. Question: Do I also have to manually replace each image that was manually uploaded to our iTunes U site?
Or will the new PSM pull all images from rss feeds and trash any manually uploaded images from our old iTunes U site?
thanks

Found the answer
http://deimos.apple.com/rsrc/doc/UsingiTunesUPublicSiteManager/CommonQuestions/c hapter14_section4.html
iTunes U Public Site Manager copies course images from your original course pages, *except for feed groups*, and displays the images in your new collection pages as collection art. For collections created from a feed group in your original site, include image details within the feed itself. iTunes U Public Site Manager uses elements within the feed to populate your collection page.

Odd Behavior in Public Site Manager

Greetings All;
Is anyone else experiencing unusual behavior in Public Site Manager? Specifically, after I created a new Collection and
began to add content, I began to get a "Sorry, this page is currently being edited. Please try again later." message.
Also, my session seems to "time out" almost immediately.

Hi Duncan - I work with about six collections in Wellesley College's iTunes U site. Is there any specific information that might help you?
Late last afternoon around 2-3, I was able to publish my item (essentially by going to the item which was already visible in the collection and resaving it/signing out very quickly before the timeout had a chance to get me.) After that, I had noticed that the timeouts were no longer occuring as quickly, but the next time I logged in I got an odd error when I clicked the "return to collections manager" link. Unfortunately I did not think to copy the error, though it was a white page and looked like some sort of script error.
However, when I went back to take a screenshot of it today, everything looks fine as far as I can see. No unnaturally quick timeouts or links throwing errors. (I do still get the "sorry, currently being edited" if I close the browser on a collection without properly signing out, but as far as I'm aware that is normal.)
I will try to find some new content to upload and report back if there are any problems with that. But for now it looks like we're fine here.
Best of luck with your own, Syd.

Public site manager

I need to edit my original application for public site manager. How do I do this?

Hello, Graham.
A similar situation happened here a few days ago.
I published an iTunes U course, not a collection, at 6:00 PM Thursday, June 26. It still did not show up in iTunes U Store or in our college's iTunes U site at 8:00 AM Monday, June 30. (I checked multiple times a day.) That was after over 80 hours.
I filled up a support request form in this web site: https://ssl.apple.com/support/itunes-u/public-site-manager/contact.html around 9:00 AM on Monday, June 30. Credit to Apple PSM Support, I got a reply around noon the same day informing me they did see the iTunes U Course up. I checked and it did become available in both places. So it took 80+ hours from the time it was published to the time it became available in iTunes U store and in our site.
We have over 120 courses and collections. It usually takes an hour or so and at most 24 hours for one course/collection to become available. It never needed more than a day, but this time more than 3 days.
So be patient. And you may fill up the support form also to let Apple iTunes U PSM Support team be aware.
Best.

Need to move old private site to public site manager

Rutgers would like to move all or at least most of the content of our old private site to public site manager. How do I do that?

In Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
For opening your domain file in Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

Custom Categories in Public Site Manager

Hello,
I'm currently working on transitioning our school's site using the new Public Site Manager. I understand how tagging works, building collections, categories, and tag lists. However, I've been unable to create custom categories so I'm able to best organize our content. I've read the admin guide. I keep coming back to 'How to Categorize Content' and 'Specifying an Initial Category and Sub-category', however, can't seem to find how to create my own categories. Am I overlooking instructions for customizing categories so I can properly tag our content? Any assistance in getting to this point would be amazing.
Thanks!!
Nikki

Ok, so I finally figured this part out. Go to 'Collections' and properly tag all of your content. Then go to 'Pages' and under 'Provider Page', click on the title of your institution. Under Text Lists choose to 'Add List'. Click the gear icon to edit. Give your tags a title and select everything you want to live under that section. The tags will move from 'Tags' to 'Selected Tags'. Choose Done. Now I have what I was referring to as Custom Categories, these Tag Lists appear in addition to the default categories Apple makes available to you. If you have any tags that aren't associated with a Tag List they will appear at the bottom of the 'Pages' page and it will show an 'Inactive' status for each specific tag that isn't properly associated yet. It was kinda freaking me out that there was a message saying that the following pages are inactive or scheduled to be deleted. You just need to follow through with creating a Tag List for them. I think getting used to the new terminology was hanging me up a little bit, but slowly it's all starting to make sense.
I hope this helps some of you out there who are also getting started.

Cannot Log into Public Site Manager

Hi all,
I am the primary administrator to our iTunes U account. I can log in via the iTunes U store and see/change our iTunes U channel. However, I cannot log into our iTunes Public Site Manager. I am trying to set up our initial collections and would like to use the Public Sitel Manager.
I tried logging in through this portal.

Did the banner image guidelines for Public Site Manager changed this week?

The guideline example illustration used to have the Provider Name underneath the Page Path (breadcrumb) on the top left of the banner image. What happened? We published our site (Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising) on Monday and now the Provider Name's gone and our layout is off. Looks like the image is placed lower and some of the description text is covered by the section. Take a look at these universities(U of Arizona, Full Sail U, Carnegie Mellon U,Brock U, and Albert Einstein).

iTunes U Public Site Manager no longer displays the second level provider name heading in the upper left corner of your provider page. While removing the second level provider name heading, additional space was also removed from the page, causing existing banners to overlap feature boxes. The iTunes U Team has fixed this issue and restored the previous page layout. Review "Understanding provider page image guidelines" to learn more about customizing your provider page.
-Thanks
