Do iTunes U courses have to be free?
Hi there,
In theory, would getting people to pay online using something like paypal to allow enrolment in an iTunes U course be allowed? I realise it's not really in keeping with the idea of iTunes U, but our company are spending a lot of time creating these courses and are independent from a particular institution.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
iTunes U does not allow charging for the online courses, though an institution can create private sites accessible only to students registered in an applicable course for which the student may have to pay tuition. iTunes U is not available to private companies, however, only to educational institutions and K-12 school districts. Here's their official statement:
iTunes U is a free service available to qualifying K-12 public school districts, and private schools, as well as two- and four-year accredited, degree-granting, public or private colleges and universities.
so if you're a private company, iTunes U will not be available to you.
Regards.

iTunes says I have over 9GB free but when I sync it says I can't as i don't have enough storage and need another 1.3GB! it's driving me mad!! help!!
Check carefully. Perhaps you are trying to copy 9 GB plus 1.3 GB for a total of 10.3 GB. That would give you the message you see.

Why can't I download the waiting songs on my iTunes? I have over 2gb storage free
why can't I download the "waiting" songs on my iTunes ? I have 2gb of free storage
I'm guessing because the servers or part of the network is still overloaded by millions of other trying to do the same.
Some seem to think this helped:

How do I enter an iTunes U course code in iTunes on a PC? My teacher gave me a course code to enroll in their course (unpublished), but I don't have an iPad or iPhone. Can I use iTunes on my PC? I don't see a place to enter my enrollment code. I also tried using the link sent to enroll but it doesn't work either. Am I out of luck?
As I noted in the other thread:
There are two kinds of content available, "courses" and "collections". If you look at the iTunes U section on the iTunes Store, you'll note some are square (collection) and some have a faux wire binder and tabs (course); you can subscribe and watch collections from within iTunes, but courses only work on iOS.
The content you see in iTunes on your PC are "collections", while your teacher has created a "course". Collections are more like podcasts, with only audio or video episodes available. Courses have more structure and richer content, including assignments and iOS-specific materials like App Store links and Pages documents.
While the distinction is not particularly relevant for iOS users – one can subscribe to either type – it is admittedly confusing for desktop users since the distinction and terminology are not explicitly defined.
Does that clarify matters somewhat? -
As I've already said to get this far: I have lost a lot of tracks while syncing my iPod Touch with iTunes. I have managed to get free downloads of some of the single tracks, but when I try to download entire albums the system informs me that I have already purchased them and a pop-up window informs me I can get them back from my "Purchased" file. I would not be trying to dowload them again if they were anywhere on the iPod, would I? The other problem seems to be that with single tracks I don't know before I hit the purchase button if I have picked it from the right album and I have had to pay for it again.
I feel that I have been totally ripped off by iTunes and, apart from ranting on this forum, I don't seem to be able to let my feelings known. It's like a guy from my local record store coming round and nicking my albums and telling me that it's tough!
The point here is folks, that it was syncing two Apple sites which caused the loss of these tracks and from what I've read elsewhere this is a regular fault. And please don't tell me that it's my fault for having a pc. Apple shouldn't sell a product for pc, when it doesn't work on pc!- Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
- Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

Hi apple, I have currently got a visa $50 gift card. I put it on my iTunes account I have currently ran out of funds on the card. Now even when I try to download free apps or even update, it says it requires a new credit card. Is there a way around this
We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support nor Apple.
If you have a credit card on your account then it needs to be valid. Have you tried removing it from yoru account ? On your iPad try tapping on your id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Store on iOS 6+) and selecting 'View Apple ID' on the popup - that should give you a payments link on your account's page. -
I'm having trouble with custom ringtones. I have downloaded the free software "makeTones" and have created some ringtones. I then copied those to Mac and played them in ITunes. My Itunes library does not have a ringtones tab. I can not sync the ringtones (or I don't know how)! Please help.
Yes, the file extension is M4R. Does it matter where I save these files on my Macbook? I then opened them in Itunes and played them. I did find the Tones folder in Itunes but the Tones or Ringtones tab does not show up when I select Iphone (within Itunes). When I open the Tones folder in the Library, it is empty. Thanks in advance for your help.

When I try to update or order a new (free) App on my iPod, I'm told that my Apple ID has been disabled, yet I can log on to my Apple Account and iTunes (where I have credit). Is there a simple solution to this??
In that case, your only remaining option is to contact iTunes Support.

I have 5GBs of free space. Itunes saying not enough space to sink. Help?
My IPhone says I have 5GBs of free space. When I try and sync my music a message pops up saying I need 2.24 more GBs and that my phone won't hold all of my selections. I have already deleted 1000 songs that I had on there from my previous sync and it still doesn't work. I had 2900 songs on there before have cut it down to 1900 and still nothing. Anyway to solve this problem?
Thanks,
AMDon't delete items on the iPhone. Syncing will take care of this.
You need to delete times you have selected to sync.
Create playlist(s) and add songs, You can see how large these playlists are.
You can then sync only those playlists. -
Are there any obligations to finish iTunes U courses, tests, or exams?
Hi All,
I am interested in taking several iTunes U courses for grneral interest, but I haven't been able to find any information on my obligations in taking these courses. Once I sign up, do I have to finish the course? Will I have to take tests or exams? Will I have to do assignments? Do the courses have start and end dates? Will I get credits for taking the courses?
Thank you!iTunes U does not allow charging for the online courses, though an institution can create private sites accessible only to students registered in an applicable course for which the student may have to pay tuition. iTunes U is not available to private companies, however, only to educational institutions and K-12 school districts. Here's their official statement:

so if you're a private company, iTunes U will not be available to you.

Update my iBook materials on iTunes U course
If I publish an iTunes U course with iBook materials, how do I update the ibook if I make changes?
Forgive me, but I don't fully understand your question, so I will make two guesses.
Given that you are posting under the "iTunes U Public Site Manager", my first assumption is that you are asking this question in the context of a published, public course. In such a scenario, I believe your course can not include a "private" book, so books available on the iBookstore will automatically be updated when you push a new version to the store. (There is little barrier to publishing free books on the iBookstore, so there's no reason not to take advantage of the platform to push updates for you.)
For private courses that reference a private book, students will have to manually download the book each time you update it.
Does that answer your question? -
