ITunes U course on a mac

Can an iTunes U course be viewed on a Mac or a PC, or on an iOS device only? I know I can see the resources in iTunesU on a Mac/PC but can an entire course be accessed this way?

If the course is public (on an institution's public facing iTunes U site), you can download the materials but you cannot see posts, outline etc. If the course is not public, there is no way that you can access any of it from MacOS X.
So far, the only way to get full access to an iTunes U course is to use the iTunes U app which is only available for iOS. I had hoped to see a MacOS X version and still hope that Apple is working on that. I doubt that we'll ever see a Windows version.

HT5100 How to watch lectures slides for an iTunes U course on my Mac?

I do watch slides on my iPod for the same course but on my Mac I have only cover and voice.
I'm using iTunes 11, btw.
Is it possible to watch slides in iTunes 11?
How to open it if so.
thanks

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?

I added a new post to my iTunes U course and it is not showing up on one of my student's iPads. She has only one Apple ID on the iPad. Any assistance is appreciated.

A new post to my iTunes U course shows up in my course both on my Mac and my iPad Air, as well as on other students' iPads, but for one single student. We have closed the app and forced shutdown. Student recently added more icloud space, but that is all. iPad is up-to-date in terms of iOS and iTunesU app. The student has only one Apple ID associated with her iPad.
We have reposted two more times. The second time the post showed up for a few seconds, but then disappeared. It does not show up under any other section (assignments, discussions, etc). Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Have you contacted Apple support?
I don't know if these will work, but you could have the student try the following:
logout of his or her iTunes U (i.e., iTunes Store) account using Settings
force-quit iTunes U
relaunch iTunes U
sign in to the newly launched app when prompted
I hope that helps!

View private iTunes U course from PC

Is it not possible to access materials as a student in a private iTunes U course from a PC? How about from a Mac but without having to go through an iPhone or iPad?
Thanks

Hello,
To access any content (info pages, posts, or materials) in a PRIVATE iTunes U course, you have to use an iOS device (iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch). PC or Mac computers WILL NOT do it.
Our college has a private iTunes U authentication server. We keep it because of this exact limitation of PRIVATE iTunes U COURSE. Our Private iTunes U collections can be assessed on iOS devices or any PC or MAC computer.
This limitation is only on PRIVATE iTunes U courses.
For the Public iTunes U courses, however, the users can access some of the Info pages (course description and outline) and the Materials (video, audio, PDF, web links) on a PC or MAC computer.
Hope this helps.

Moving iTunes Folder to a new Mac, Can't read iTunes library.itl

I'm replacing a Mac Pro (2,1) with OS 10.7.5, iTunes 11.4 with a 2012 Mac Mini with OS 10.9.3, iTunes 11.1.5. When I move the iTunes folder containing the iTunes Library to the new Mac, I get the error message "the file iTunes library.itl cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes", which is of course true. I really don't want iTunes 12. Is there a way to move iTunes 11.4 from the old Mac to the new Mac?

Hi, gokart-mozart.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You will need to rebuild your iTunes library file in order to open an older version of iTunes. Below, I have included the article that walks you through this process. Start with the section labeled Re-creating the iTunes Library file.

File will download in iTunes, then disappear (completely) on Mac (Win works!)

I am a university professor trying to get students into using iTunesU but a mess arises.
MIT's linear algebra is a fine course but on Mac (10.6) with iTunes (10.4) one lecture (LU decomposition) will download fine and then disappears forever. I checked the iTunes folders in $HOME (unix lingo for /Users/name), $HOME/Music, checked elsewhere (went to the root (aka /) and did a find ./ -name *filename* and nothing turns up. I downloaded again and went to the download directory. I see the file growing to proper size and then it simply is gone. It is not transferred properly. I tried ps -aef and saw nothing (but it may go too fast). There is nothing in the bin either.
This happens in several courses, not only MIT. Other lectures in the same directory go flawless.
Issue is a Mac 10.6 / iTunes 10.4 thing. It runs fine on a Windows machine and I can download to my iPhone from wireless at home.
Second, and related issue. Many students have iPads, iPhones, iPods. They're excellent to store some iTunesU lectures but it seems that once transferred to the iPhone from internet, there is no way to delete the files (or transfer them to Mac) !?
Thanks for the help !

Just adding my voice to this problem. I've watched iTunes try and download the same iTunes U video file about ten times and every time it completes the iTunes U list just resets and lists it as being available to download. Trying to play it straight from the downloads list has no effect.
I've tried signing in but this one particular file still refuses to download. Even deleting everything in the iTunes temporary download location and checking the permissions of that folder it is still giving me problems.
While I've been able to successfully download a couple of other videos, the one I actually want to watch refuses to work. I am desperate for help here. I've made a genius bar appointment because I have run out of ideas here.

I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

Regarding iTunes U courses, would I be able to link to books/sites (like say an amazon hardback book or link to a kindle book they can purchase and download). Considering that not all books are available on iBooks I'm hoping this is allowed.   Also the possibility on monetizing since amazon gives commission for linking.
This question is for both the uncredited (private) courses and the bigger accredited accounts.    I am a developer trying to learn how to help my area schools and also have some ideas for my own courses.    Obviously keeping within the iTunes U app would be preferred in most cases (to the learning experience) since they can take notes and see them within the app itself.
If the reply comes from a non-apple employee please let me know (or better yet, link to) where that is clarified.   I would hate to develop something just to later find out it is against the apple iTunes U agreement.

Fair question
And, to be even more fair, I have to tell you that I get that every single day. And it's getting worse (or better, depending on how you look at it).
I always try to let people know it's a long way until you get to a confortable point, a point where you can create something. And that's exactly what I am trying to do, or at least asking how/if I should do it. And then I let them know where to start. That's what I want.
Thanks.

My macbook seems to be going crazy. At certain points (and for hours) I get the oh snap page on chrome, safari doesnt work, macbook wont let me create any files or for example upload music to itunes. I restored my mac so im sure its not a malware problem.

My macbook seems to be going crazy. At certain points (and for hours) I get the oh snap page on chrome, safari doesnt work, macbook wont let me create any files or for example upload music to itunes. I restored my mac so im sure its not a malware problem. The only thing that solves it is switching off and on , but sometimes I have to do that for 6-7 times before its ok or wait for a few hours. Some help please

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

How do I transfer downloaded files from the iTunes account on PC to Mac?

My previous PC runs Windows Vista, on which I downloaded some songs from CDs into iTunes. I just bought a Macbook Pro and want to transfer those audio files. How do I do that?
As a side note, I have already figured out how to transfer the songs that I already purchased from iTunes (by syncing my iPod into the MacBook).
Thank you in advance for anybody who can help!

*I have already figured out how to transfer the songs that I already purchased from iTunes (by syncing my iPod into the MacBook).*
If the rest of the songs are still on the iPod you can transfer those to the MacBook as well. For everything else (music from CDs, other downloads etc.) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. I use Senuti but have a look at the web pages and documentation for the others too. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here (you'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos and games as well):

There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
If the other songs aren't on the iPod you can transfer from one computer to the other. These pages may be of some help:
