Can any institution be on iTunes U and can the course be restricted somehow?
Hello all,
I'm working with a client and we're pretty interested in using iPads as a learning platform in our course that we're putting together. iTunes U seems to be a great tool and we're looking at using that as well as an optional tool to add to our workflow.
Firstly, I'm curious to know if any instituion that offers a course is able to get onto iTunes U. I suppose you could even think of it as an internal company course.
I've looked around for answers and I'm still a bit confused. Some say you have to be an accredited education institution, and others say you don't have to be accredited and it's just a matter of Apple approving your institution to be on iTunes U via this page https://eduapp.apple.com/
Secondly, is there a way to restrict access to the courses you provide? The reason is that the iTunes U tools look great for managing materials and teaching a course, but we don't want just anyone being able to access the materials since the course is a paid course. We want to be able to use the tools, but somehow have only the people that actually take the course be able to access the materials on iTunes U.
As a side note, we're looking at iBooks Author to create our textbooks. We won't be selling them on the iBooks store, but we're curious if the only way to get them on the student's (institution-provided) iPads is to manually upload them through iTunes via the Books tab in the iPad sync window. Can iTunes U store textbooks?
Furthermore, we're looking at using Apple Configurator to manage the class iPads that we hand out. Does this also support loading our textbooks onto it? Or would we have to manually do them one-by-one?
Thanks for your time and any answers are appreciated!
You can make ibooks accessable by posting the files on a web server and providing your users with a hyperlink to the file. Your iOS users then can use safari to download the book. When you download the file you will be prompted to what program you want to use to view the file. Just choolse ibooks and it will save the file in your ibooks app for future use.
Note: you must add the ibooks mime type to your web server so it knows what to do wtih the file when a user reqeusts it.
I have tested and confirmed with IIS.

how do I delete photo ALBUMS from my iPHONE 4?
I sync via icloud and I can not see any folders selected in itunes.
I searched the internet and basically there is no one who has the answer (so far)
to how you delete the iphone photo library and misc albums
I have also had every iphone and I am not stupid.
charles altmanReplying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....

So i bought music on a different computer but oAn the same itunes account and on the same ipod and when i get on my original computer and i sync my ipod my purchases that were on the other computer didnt show up. How can i put them on my computer/ipod
Download them to the computer to which the iPod is synced, re-sync.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Movies currently available in the USA only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later. Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list, or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid. Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
You can re-download your available previous purchases. -

Can I buy an iTunes voucher and get the code sent straight to my email?
Can I buy an iTunes voucher and get the code sent straight to my email?
If the iTunes Store sells gift certificates in your country, yes, but you'll need to provide a credit card issued in that country to make the purchase.

I am trying to purchase albums from the iTunes store and all the website says is that the price has changed. Why can't I just use a gift card/myaccount?
If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them why the message is appearing (we are fellow users here on these forums, we won't know why) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

I'm having trouble with iTunes synching and accessing the iTunes store.
I'm having trouble with iTunes synching and accessing the iTunes store. When synching, the process tops at the back up stage, freezes and I can't close the iTunes window, need to ctrl alt del. When trying to access the store, the progress bar stops halfway. I've googled heaps and tried most of the standard answers - unistall, reinstall, etc, now looking for some help please.
This has only started a few weeks back, after working smoothly for the 2 years of owning the iPhone 3gs.
Any suggestions will be appreciated, it's getting realy frustrating.
Cheers for now,

this worked perfectly for me, with no loss of library! BUT was warned about uninstalling things in the order listed...FYI. -
I went to set up an ITunes account and entered the WRONG e-mail. After everything was complete it sent the Itunes conformation number to the wrong e-mail. I dont believe they can use it because they dont know the password it will ask them for that e-mail for the account. How do i redeem the itunes back? When i enetr the code to try and use it for my correct e-mail it says it already has been redeemed.
Go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'iTunes' in the first column; 'iTunes Store' in the second column then see if there is an appropriate place to report the problem.

"you must first sign in to iTunes Connect and sign the relevant contracts": how?
I'm trying to get my iBook (made in iBooks Author) up on the iTunes store and am stuck.
I now have an iTunes Connect account into which I can sign in. When I try to use iTunes producer, and enter my login info (which works on the browser), it tells me
"There is a problem with your login information. To use this application, you must first sign in to iTunes Connect and sign the relevant contracts."
I'm not sure what a "relevant contract" would be. I look at "Contracts, Tax, and Banking" at iTunes Connect, and there is one entry with Contract Type "Book". However, I can't request it (that is grayed out), and the "Legal Entity" pull down does not show me (as found in the "Manage Users"), but only shows "select".
I therefore can't seem to find a way to do anything to allow me to login with my book via Producer to get it "produced."
Does anyone know what is going on?
The FAQ is a blank page, the "Contact us with questions" asks you to pull down a topic and has no topics there! Very clumsy path to publishing (comparing to CreateSpace, for example). After the ease of iBooks Author it's like hitting a brick wall at 100 mph.OK, I saw the link for the help video at the bottom - it helped. I have to add a new entity. I was fooled thinking I would already be there and that the entry was me, but it is apparently a general placeholder into which numerous entities can go. For me this was not obvious at all, and I only figured that out by watching the video (which was not easy to spot!).
I'll go through the process now and hopefully no more confusions. -
I have cs4 installed on my old computer, i have since lost the disk and serial #s. Is there any way to recover this information and install the programs on my new computer? I used my old computer for college and haven't used it in awhile, now I have a job that can benefit from having those programs. I was wondering if ADOBE keeps records or something to where I can download the programs on my new MacBook and use my old serial #s.

My daughter created a movie using iMovie 11, which she has worked on for a month. When trying to save it on a jump drive she was asked to "finalize" the movie, and while this was running (quoted 13 hours!) she received an error message. Now there is no record of it at all, I have looked in trash etc. Any ideas how I could try and retrieve the file?
The file cannot be reloaded in iMovie using File > Open Recent ??
There is no trace of the file in a Spotlight search?
The project files are not under <user>/Movies/iMovie Projects ??
Finalizing creates small, medium and large version of the finished video. It does take a long time, but it should not destroy your project files.
Oh, and you really MUST have a backup of your files. You can expect to lose files if you have no other copies of them. -
I've redeemed my itunes card and at the top of the itunes stores it states "$20. in your account" but when i try and purchase a song it still comes up with my billing info and dosent pick up the card at all?? plz help me
If the amount of the purchase is close to $21.07, then you need to take into account taxes may be added.
If you go beyond the credit from a gift card the balance will be billed to your credit card account.
