ITunes U transfer scripts and how to setup groups and users

I have used the SampleCode from apple's iTunes U site to setup the transfer scripts in both Java and Perl. I know how I could use the transfer script to authenticate users, based on groups. But if I have a CS101 class, how do this.. Or essentially this..
Student@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:blah.edu.private:CS101-1230;CS102-2048
I need to give access to the students that are in those particular classes.

This video may be of assistance: Integration of Internal iTunes U Sites - http://deimos3.apple.com/WebObjects/Core.woa/Browse/new.duke.edu.1302914143.0352 7899686.3694027036?i=2078373237

My iPod / iTunes wont transfer songs and freezes

Right quick lowdown... Got iPod classic 160gb last Summer. Transferred all music onto it eventually and it worked perfectly until a few months ago. It randomly crashed when sync'ing one time and then was unable to function properly without crashing thereafter. I sent it back, there was a fault and i got a replacement just the other day.
So tried sync'ing my new iPod. Sync'd like hundred songs or so then stopped with (-69) error coming up. Tried Sync'ing again and it added some more songs then got same error message. Kept trying and then eventually it wiped all songs off iPod that it had sync'ed before. Everytime i try to sync it comes up with a random error message (-53) (-48) (-49) (-120) etc. Lost track of all the errors it's given me.
I have since tried manually transferring songs and some go on without a problem, whereas others cos iTunes and my iPod to freeze. I then get a message saying iTunes is not responding and when i safely remove my iPod it sometimes scrubs everything that was on it, sometimes it doesn't
I read somewhere else i could have corrupt files preventing me from being able to transfer and Sync. The fact is i didn't have trouble before (i used first ipod for months with no problems) and recently been using an old ipod mini while i sorted out my broken classic and it has worked fine with no problems. I've been updating iTunes every time the updates come available.
Can anybody provide any help??? Why has my iPod all of a sudden refused to transfer some songs? Is it likely that corrupt songs are somehow now preventing me from transferring tracks or is there something wrong with this iPod too? Or could there be another fault?
Thanks in advance

How to setup for multiple users accessing same share?

Hi!
Recently picked up Mac Mini Server and have some configuration questions related to sharing files & information over the internet. Whenever possible, prefer to use the built-in features & tools, not 3rd party tools.
My setup & needs are this:
- Have folders & sub-folders with files to share.
- Wish to give individuals access to the shared folders, each with their own account (and access logging).
- Shared folder and files should be visible via web to authenticated users only (so no special client or setup is needed).
Right now, have added a Website via Server.app that points to the folder with files to share, and that works somewhat, but doesn't support individual user accounts separately?
Thought maybe to setup VPN but that seems like massive overkill for this (and is a pain in the butt for non-technical users to setup).
Editing httpd.conf for user support is a possibility, but seems /etc/apache2/httpd.conf only applies to the default web server (on port 80) not the one i set up in Server.app?
Can anyone recommend the best approach, given the above needs?

I have a related question. i created 2 websites/domains then i went to users and created 2 seperate "network" users then i went to ftp and selected each website and added only user A to site A and user B to site B. what's weird is that when i try to ftp using either of the users it seems to land on the same site. i looked at shared security for the folders and it only shows user a on site a folder and user b on site b folders. am i doing somehitng wrong or is this how it works in mountain lion server? i just want to give the domain owner ftp access so they can manage their files and only thier files. i also had to turn on open directory so that it would not create a local user but a network user. do i need to turn that off and just deal with having a bunch of local users as ftp user? i want to host multiple websites on the server and NO users remote on to server besides ftp.
edit 1: i only have 1 IP running on the server which i don't think it has any affect on this but thought i mention it :-)
edit 2: i just noticed one more thing that may help. i used filezilla to remote in using both users, one at a time. it seems to allow both users in but then it shows same directories. i then created a file using the one that was not supposed to have acces and it never sows up. but if i remote desktop to server i can see the new file in the correct folder. so it may have something to d o with the directory listing.

How do I itunes to transfer music and ringtones that not purchased through itunes?

Help with transfer to itunes.

Transfer from what?
If your iPhone is now the only device holding content you want on your computer you should be able to:
Backup the device to the new installation
Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post.
Restore the device from the backup
This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

How to setup a additional user for save websurfing

i want to install a additional user just for save websurfing in dangerous webregions,
so that the access to parts of my hd contents are locked.
what do i have to consider and setup
to get this?

Hi Andy,
Create a new account, make it non-admin.
Open System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" do NOT check "allow user to administer account". Turn on your Firewall on the presets, services off.
That said, it still won't fully protect your Mac in "dangerous webregions" the only way to assure safety is to avoid them.
Here are my general rules for security:
While there are no known viruses that attack Mac OS X, it is possible (though not probable) for spyware to get onto your Mac. The best way to avoid that is by using your firewall and/or a hard wired router, downloading only from "trusted" sites, installing all security updates and being careful about what you give administrative power to. It is also recommended to run day to day tasks from a non-admin account.
Don't use Limewire or any other P2P service to download your software, get it from reputable sources. In addition, always keep at least your users backed up, preferably a clone of your entire system on a separate disk. And put your sensitive passwords, bank accounts, credit card numbers in a "secure note" in a new keychain or in an encrypted folder.

Transfer Script

I am trying to restrict access to a course page by password protecting it. I have went into the edit course page and added in custom permission added download to USHistory@urn:mace:..... Ok now i tried to go into the transfer script and add the following credential;
String[] credentialsArray = { USHistoryCredential };
String displayName = "USHistory";
String emailAddress = "[email protected]";
String username = "USHistory";
String userIdentifier = "password";
What am I doing wrong cause this isn't working.
Thanks

Hmm ... lemme see if I can explain. I'm not sure I'm going to do your question justice ... but I'll try.
The first thing to know is this: Apple does not hold any userid/password info for an iTunes U site ... with one, very very specific, exception. But that exception does not come into play for you in this instance. The basic rule of thumb is that Apple does not know any of your users ... Apple only deals with credentials.
In iTunes U, what you do is authenticate your users your own way (whatever that is ... Banner, Active Directory, LDAP with an MD5 hashed password store, Kerberos). Your authentication process basically gives a yes/no answer ... "such-and-such user is valid at our school" or "such-and-such user is not part of our school". If you get a "yes" response from your authentication system, you generate a set of credentials for your user and pass them to Apple. Based on the credentials you assign to your user, Apple grants him/her access to specific courses and iTunes U tracks.
As I am fond of saying, an iTunes U credential is like a high school hall pass. The hall pass itself is a piece of plastic or paper or cardboard ... it could be laminated ... but it only says one thing, "Let the bearer of this pass go to the lunchroom," or, "Let the bearer of this pass go to the bathroom," or, "Let the bearer of this pass go to the principal's office" ... like that. If a teacher stops a student in the hallway, he/she might ask, "Can I see your hall pass?" The teacher will not necessarily know who the student is ... all he/she needs to know is that the student has a valid hall pass. In fact, the beauty of the hall pass system is that no teacher need know the name of any particular student ... all that matters is that someone the teacher trusts gave the student a valid hall pass. iTunes U works the same way ... Apple "trusts" you to validate your users and assign them the right set of hall passes. That trust is established with your shared secret ... only you and Apple know what it is. But when Apple sees your users, it only sees credentials ... the hall passes ... it doesn't know your users' names, passwords, usernames, etc.
So you might be asking, "Hey Rich, you say that Apple doesn't care about my users, so why does the example transfer script have 'username' in it, what's up with that?" Well, the answer is that you can, if you like, tell Apple to record identity information about your users and pass it back to you later in site usage logs ... but you do not have to pass identity information at all ... you can leave "username", "e-mail", "name" ... you can leave all that stuff blank and iTunes U would still work. However, when Apple sends you your site usage logs, all you'll see is that some "visitor" downloaded a certain track at a certain time. If you want to know who that was, you have to tell Apple to record that for you by sending a username along with a credential set. But Apple does not "see" your usernames/e-mail addresses/whatnot ... all Apple cares about is that credential set. Apple merely records user info to send back to you "as is". If you send bogus user info, for example, Apple would dutifully record it in logs and send it back to you the way you sent it. But get a credential wrong, and iTunes U will not work.
So display name, username, user identifier, and e-mail address are not used by Apple at all in iTunes U. They are just recorded and sent back to you "as is" in usage logs -- they are just means for you to figure who's who when looking at logs. Apple does not encrypt them ... they are sent in the clear. For that reason, I would strongly urge you to not to send password info in that user identifier string.
To restrict access to something in iTunes U, a credential is only half the story ... in iTunes U, there is something called a "permission". A permission is the combination of a credential and an access level. For example, a permission might look like this:
Student@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:myu.edu DOWNLOAD
or:
Administrator@urn:mace:itunesu.com:sites:my.edu EDIT
When you create a permission in iTunes U, you're saying that if someone comes to a "place" in your site, and he/she bears a certain credential ("Student" or "Administrator"), that he/she should have a certain access level ("can browse and download content" or "can edit this page") for that "place". Notice how usernames/passwords aren't a part of this scheme ... if you bear the "Student" credential, you can "DOWNLOAD" whereas if you bear the "Administrator" credential, you can "EDIT". Apple does not need to know who's who ... you've already authenticated your people and told Apple about the the creds/access that should be granted. Apple trusts you because you signed the user's request with the shared secret that only you and Apple know.
Make sense?

Sharepoint 2013 setup group permissions

In my SharePoint 2013 test sharepoint site, I would like to know how the users should normally have access to the test sharepoint site. Would the user sign as themselves individually or would they sign on with a group id? Can you tell me and/or point me
to a url that will show how to setup group permissions and how the users should login?

There are two suggested ways to assign permissions on SharePoint sites:
    Using SharePoint Groups
    Using Active Directory Groups
Note: A site can be set up to either inherit permissions from the parent site, or to allow unique permissions to be set for the site. If the site is set up to inherit permissions from the parent site, you will have to Add Users or Active Directory Groups
to pre-existing SharePoint groups in the parent site.
Using SharePoint groups:
Click on “People and Groups”
Click on “New” from the drop-down menu
Select “New Group” Under “Choose the permission level group members get on this site:… ”
Select “Contribute” and click OK.
Click on “People and Groups”
Click “New”, from the drop-down menu
select “Add Users” Type in the netID(s) you wish to add
Click on “Check Names” (the netID(s) should now be underlined)
Under “Give permission”, select the group you just created and click OK.
Note: If site owners want their site to show up automatically in users' "My Links" in "My Site" then those users must be part of a SharePoint group and that group must be defined as the "Members of this Site" group.
Using Active Directory Groups:
Click on “Peoples and Groups”
Click on “New” from the drop-down menu
select “Add Users” Type in the name of the Active Directory group you wish to add
Click on Check Names (the group name should now be underlined)
Under Give Users permissions directly, select “Contribute” &click ok.
Note: You can specify multiple netID(s) or AD groups by separating the names with a semi-colon(;).
Below are list of permissions you can use for the site..
Permission Level
Description
Full Control
This permission level contains all permissions.      Assigned to the
Site name Owners SharePoint group, by default. This      permission level cannot be customized or deleted.
Design
Can create lists and document libraries, edit      pages and apply themes, borders, and style sheets in the Web site. Not assigned      to any SharePoint group, by default.
Contribute
Can add, edit, and delete items in existing      lists and document libraries. Assigned to the
Site name Members SharePoint      group, by default.
Read
Read-only access to the Web site. Users and      SharePoint groups with this permission level can view items and pages, open      items, and documents. Assigned to the
Site name Visitors SharePoint      group, by default.
Limited Access
The Limited Access permission level is designed      to be combined with fine-grained permissions to give users access to a specific      list, document library, item, or document,
without giving them access to      the entire site. However, to access a list or library, for example, a user      must have permission to open the parent Web site and read shared data such
as the theme and navigation bars of the Web site. The Limited Access permission      level cannot be customized or deleted.
NOTE You cannot assign this permission level to users or SharePoint      groups. Instead, Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 automatically assigns this      permission level to users and SharePoint
groups when you grant them access      to an object on your site that requires that they have access to a higher      level object on which they do not have permissions. For example, if you grant
users access to an item in a list and they do not have access to the list      itself, Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 automatically grants them Limited      Access on the list, and also the site, if needed.

HT1711 I recently deleted iTunes off my computer by accident, when I reinstalled it I got the new version and I can't figure out how to get my music to store on my iTunes to transfer from my iPhone to iTunes.

I recently deleted iTunes off my computer by accident, when I reinstalled it I got the new version and I can't figure out how to get my music to store on my iTunes to transfer from my iPhone to my iTunes. I goal is to get my iPod filled with the music that I have stored on my iPhone and figured the only way to do so is to use iTunes as my transfer hub. Any suggestions?

Wow you're kind of a iTunes bully. Dude the reason I am asking for advice and help is I am completely computer ********. If I knew the answer I wouldn't be asking. Anyways. Question to anyone else.
If I have no music on my iTunes at all and no music on my computer, hard drive or any other version of storage yet there is a playlist on my iPhone. While my iPhone is plugged into my PC and my iTunes is up, is there a way to swap my playlist from my iPhone to my iTunes? Directly? Without downloading some new media source or backing up my old media source from my history. The reason everything was deleted (iTunes and media source) was due to the size of everything and space it was requiring. I am simply trying to get 233 songs from A to B.
I have tried magic but it is not working.
