Does iTunes U Support Windows (for Real)?

iTunes U Mavens,
Would you help?
Clarification is requested.
Last week, I was extolling the benefits of trying iTunes U to a Department Chair.
The Chair replied that they'd looked at iTunes U several months ago...and decided not to use it because it is "...only for the Apple iPad", and "...we can't exclude students who use Windows, Androids, etc."
So...many Google searches later...it seems like there was a point-in-time when iTunes U was iPad-specific--but that is no longer the case?
Candidly, after reading several iTunes U items on Apple's website...I'm confused. A few Apple artifacts seem to refer to an iPad-only technology platform while other Apple items suggest cross-platform.
Does...or does not...iTunes U support Windows? Android? Etc.
If there was an historical iPad-only context...(circa) when was that restriction relaxed? Changed?
While it seems to me iTunes U works with Windows...yet there's conflicting information. When going back to the Dept Chair...I'd like to take up-to-date, authoritative information from Apple on this mater.
Would you be so kind as to point me in a productive direction to obtain an Apple-authoritative communique on this point?
Many thanks!

The new iTunes U App and iTunes U Courses format are specifically designed to take advantage of iOS devices (iPad, iPhone, iPod touch) to teach a FULL course utilizing those mobile devices. The platform allows for the easy integration of digital books, Apps, and other materials from the iTunes Store and the web into courses. While public courses are available on desktop computers (both Mac and PC) the whole iTunes U Course experience is best on iOS Devices.  You can read about the features of iTunes U Courses at www.itunesu.com.
Previously, content on iTunes U was essentially podcast feeds. This format is still available and is known as iTunes U Collections. But, being that they are simply RSS feeds, they only support the delivery of audio, video, and PDF files.

  • HT1238 I can't run iPod utility for Windows in my Windows 8 . does this apps support windows 8 ?

    I can't run iPod utility for Windows in my Windows 8 . does this apps support windows 8 ?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    iPod Utility for Windows hasn't been updated for a long time, so it's probably not supported in Windows 8. Have you tried to run it in compatibility mode?

  • Why does Verizon not support Windows 8 for wi fi?

    Why does Verizon not support Windows 8 for wi fi?  Are they planning on supporting Windows 8?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Verizon wi fi for hot spots does not work with Windows 8.  For verification go to FAQs about Verizon Wi-Fi for FiOS Internet, 
    http://www.verizon.com/Support/Residential/Internet/fiosinternet/networking/setup/wi-fi/124650.htm , and click on How do I know if my laptop or netbook is compatible with Verizon Wi-Fi? .  Verizon wireless home network does work well with Windows 8.
    Since you can't even download the wi fi for hot spots software if you have Windows 8, I don't know how to use compatability mode to get around the problem,

  • Does iTunes 11 supports 5.1 Speakers?

    Does iTunes 11 supports 5.1 Speakers? If yes which all speakers does it support and how to activate it on iTunes?I am able to play music in 5.1 surround mode using other players such as WMP 11, VLC, GOMP, WINAMP but when I play music using iTunes it only plays in stereo mode i.e. 2.1. The side / rear speakers do not give any output.
    Specs:
    Windows 7,
    Gigabyte FX990-UD3 Motherboard with 7.1 audio on-board support using 6 3.5mm jack pins.
    Creative SBS A520 5.1 speaker system.
    iTunes 11.1 installed.

    I think you mean HandBrake. I use HandBrake and I know exactly what you're talking about. Unfortunately, sometimes HandBrake shows that there is CC available but when you rip it, the CC doesn't appear in iTunes. I notice that but there is no way around it. This only happens with newer releases (I'm positive you only see this issue in newer films). HandBrake needs to be updated to keep up with the newer encryption by DVDs. There is nothing we can do. Hope that this post answered your question.

  • Does SAP BW support Window vista.

    hi Friends,
    Does SAP BW support Window vista.
    I have got a laptop with Vista, I have installed SAP BW in external Harddisk. Can I connect with VMWare on window vista of my laptop.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Alykya

    -> what do you mean "installed on external disk"?
    sap needs to be installed locally...some parts, eg. databse files etc. can be spread over sveral disks...but on windows all information needs to be in the registry...
    you could install vmware under vista, create a new virtual machine using for example windows 2003 server and install sap into that vm...

  • Does Firefox fully support Windows 8.1 64-bit?

    the current version is firefox 26 - 27 is going to be released this week. if you download either of those, you'll just get the normal firefox browser on desktop as you're used to. firefox 28 which is also going to be released as beta this week will include a (minimalist) touch-optimized version of firefox for the windows metro ui...

  • New computer wqith Windows 7 - Does iTunes work with Windows 7

    I downloaded iTunes 9 and tried to upload my 1st CD and it never got passed a few seconds of upload before it froze up. I tried another CD and the same thing happened. So I uninstalled 9 and tried iTunes 8 because I was more familiar with that. The first CD uploaded the 1st song and then froze up. The song played quite well but I couldn't get passed the 1st song. Does iTunes work with Windows 7? TY in advance.

    No it runs just fine on Win 7 64 bit so your problem isn't that.
    Download a fresh copy of iTunes and use this : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301 to make sure you get all of the old install.
    Make sure you run disk clean up when your done so that there are no temp files around when you try with the fresh install.
    Now, making sure your using the admin account and that you've disabled any security software, try again with the new download

  • HT4335 Does Itunes have a solution for playing music in a business setting?

    Does Itunes have a solutions for playing music in a business setting?  Can you play your downloaded music in a business-overhead speakers?

    Presuming you are referring to the iTunes Store, tracks purchased from that service are for personal use only and are not licensed for use in any commercial setting. You will need to either find a commercial service to provide music (easiest by far, though perhaps not the cheapest), or buy the appropriate CDs and then obtain a license from the various rights clearinghouses for playback in commercial use.

  • Does Mountain Lion support trim for SSDs? ...

    I've been reading various forum posts and I find conflicting info. I did se several references to a tool called 'trim enabler.'
    I have a late 2012 Mac Mini with Mountain Lion and installed a Samsung 830 SSD.
    System Report shows that trim is not enabled for the drive. Does Mountain Lion support trim for these drives? How important is it to enable it?
    Thanks in advance,
    Chris

    Apple does not support the 3rd party drives.  To enable it (without installing another software package), you can visit the website:
    http://digitaldj.net/2011/07/21/trim-enabler-for-lion/
    I ran the series of commands on my Mac Pro and it did enable TRIM.
    the webpage even has a backup/back-out procedure.
    Without TRIM, my computer was running extremely slowly.  After enabling TRIM, my computer ran substancially faster.

  • Does iOS 7 Support Apps for Older Versions of iOS?

    Does iOS 7 support apps for older versions of iOS? This is my first big iOS upgrade so I wanted to be sure about this.

    Which is why I said "should" rather than "will". As there are no absolutes, I'm pretty sure there will be an app somewhere that will not run or have issues until its updated to the new iOS.
    With that said for the most part there "should" be no issues updating to a new iOS version related to having older unupdated apps, but its still possible that there can be.

    Apple has been known to make changes between the GM and public releases. It's rare, but it has happened. In addition, RoaringApps also does not test these apps themselves; they rely on user reports which may or may not be accurate or current. So while RA is a useful guide, it's not definitive. Only the app's developer should be relied upon for official information on compatibility.
    We should not discuss the GM release here, by the way, since that's still under NDA.
