ITunes U: how do you restart stalled downloads?

Sometimes a course item will get stalled downloading, so you press the Stop button and it stops and you can press the Download button to start again. No problem. However sometimes an item gets stuck and you press the Stop button and nothing at all happens - you can't stop it, even though it's stalled.
I've tried turning Wi-Fi on and off, turning Airplane mode on and off, end-tasking the iTunes U app, even power-cycling the iPad, and it just won't allow you to Stop it. I even deleted the whole course and started again - but it got stuck downloading the same item. Because the item hasn't completely downloaded you can't even edit the course to Remove it. And of course this blocks all of the other downloads in the queue so you can't download any other content.
One item in particular that always seems to stall part way through is the following:
iPad and iPhone Application Development (SD)
9. Table Views (October 25, 2011) - SD
When iTunes U gets stalled like this, how can you get it to wake it up again?

It happened again today. Good idea, but I'm afraid it doesn't work.
Whilst in iTunes U you can swipe left-to-right on an item to bring up the Delete button it only works on items that have already been fully downloaded - no effect on items you haven't downloaded yet or that are still downloading.
What I did notice earlier while it was working, though, is that items marked for downloading in iTunes U appear in the Downloads section of the iTunes app. But this item that's stuck downloading today doesn't appear there - so it would seem that the iTunes download manager has given up trying to download it, but iTunes U hasn't figured that out yet so is still showing it as downloading.
If it helps: new iPad; iOS 5.1.1 (9B206); iTunes U 1.1.1 (410)
Looks like I'll have to do the Sync/Delete/Subscribe/Sync dance again for now...

With new iTunes 11 how do you restart podcasts that used to regular pause

With new iTunes 11 how do you restart podcasts that used to regular pause?
Before iTunes 11, a symbol would appear in individual podcast lists showing that the sender requires you to confirm that you still wish to receive their podcast. This used to occur with all my BBC podcasts once a week usually at the weekend.
Now with iTunes 11 this control seems to have disappeared. Tried all the new icons but nothing seems to do this.
Now (as its Saturday) all my BBC podcasts have stopped as there appears no way to reconfirm that I still want to automatically receive them.
Please help!

Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
With iTunes 11 you might also have a Home Videos folder inside iTunes Media.
In the simplest cases you copy the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> on the source computer to <User's Music> on the target machine, install iTunes, and it "just works"TM.
If the media folder (inside the red outline) has been split out to a separate location then you can copy the library folder (outside the red outline) as before and connect the drive holding the media so that it has exactly the same path as before. If the drive appears as D: on one system and E: on the other then the library won't be able to find the media.
The crucial file is iTunes Library.itl - this contains a record of the tracks that have been added to the library, ratings, play counts, playlists etc.

Magazine in newsstand tell me to restart and the download again. How do you restart or reload newsstand?

Hey miriamfromrockport,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like trouble with newsstand. Is it one magazine giving this error or many magazines? I would recommend that you read these articles, they may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

Itunes match how do you to select multiple songs or do you click each one

In ITunes match how do you to select multiple songs to download to pc or do you have to click each one.

First make sure you have the current version of iTunes, which is actually 10.5.1. I had to manually download it from apples website, for some reason, it wouldnt auto-update.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Once that is complete, go to the iTunes store. In the Quick Links secion to the right, you should see iTunes Match. This will prompt you to activate your subscription to iTunes match. After that it should ask you to add your computer and once youve done that, it should begin the process of scanning your library and adding it to the cloud
Alternatively, once you activate your subscription, you can also go to the Store dropdown menu in iTunes and select Turn On iTunes Match.

I cant fined the play button for a movie ive already rented... How do you restart a movie???

Once you rent it it will tell you when its 'ready to watch' and you can then hit play. You can also access it by going to the movies tab, and the poster image for the rented title will appear in the top left. You can also go to settings - general - itunes store - check for rentals.
Note: a 6mbps connection is required for instant HD rentals. If you are much lower it may take some time before you can watch. Accessing other content during this time or turning off the device will flush the rental, requiring a reload.

That usually doesn't happen (unless you do not use automatic login) unless you boot into Safe Mode. When prompted do you enter your admin password? What happens when you do that?

Hi Huntress. The phone came with only the thin card onboard. So I continued using my sim card from my present carrier. Not knowing to which carrier it was locked - actually I thought it was not locked to any carrier, as that was what I was told.
To day I have an iPhone 4 - this time from a apple shore. I just want to unlock the 3G, but I do not know who to contact. I just thought that apple could unlock such an old iPhone, if nobody else can.
I know a lot of people buy such phones, but the reality is they either are using an illegal SIM like the gevey, or they have been hacked. True unlocked phones are very expensive items as you do not get the benefit of the carrier subsidising the price as part of the terms of a contract. So anytime you see some online or ecommerce only site selling so-called "unlocked" iPhones, be aware they are almost assuredly NOT actually unlocked and either will end up not working, or the hack letting them function as unlocked will get wiped out the first time you try to update iOS.
Apple processes official unlock requests from carriers, but they will only do so if the request is sent through the proper channels from the carrier. So buying from these scam artists (yes, I do consider them scams, as they are at the very least much less than truthful about what they are actually selling you) more often then not just ends in disappointment and an unuseable phone.

BTW, this forum is for questions about iTunes U, the service Apple provides to colleges and universities where they can post educational content on the iTunes Store, and so is generally not the forum where you'll be most likely to get help with an iPod question.

Quick answer: Select all the tracks on the album, File > get info, and either give them all a single "album artist", or check the "compilation" flag (as in https://discussions.apple.com/message/17670085).
If these are from multiple-CD sets you may also need to enter the appropriate information in the disc number fields. If they are not a multiple CD set you still need to make sure the disc number fields are set correctly or all empty.
