Launching an iTunes U course via an URL scheme

Hi,
I'm trying to figure out if it's possible to launch a particular course in the iTunes U app via Launch Center Pro. There's the URL scheme itm-itunesu:// that launches the library. I was hoping that there's a way to append the specific URL for the course, so I could launch right into the course.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

Hello dmfny,
The requirements I see are:
Valid Apple ID (Learn more about Apple ID)
Safari 6.1 or later on a Mac
Mozilla Firefox 12 or later on a Mac or PC
Google Chrome 28 or later on a Mac or PC
That from
Access and manage courses online with iTunes U - Apple Support
Note you may not have unlimited enrollment and storage without an iTunes U Public Site as when I check it out, if I click Learn More at "Your Apple ID is not affiliated with an institution with an iTunes U public site. I see:
Being affiliated with an institution with an
iTunes U public site allows you to request
your iTunes U Public Site Manager
administrator to publish your courses in the
iTunes U catalog. Published courses have
unlimited enrollment and storage. If your
institution does not have a public iTunes U
site, learn how your institution can apply for
one.
Take care,

AIR iOS URL Scheme

I'm developing an AIR for iOS app for my client to run on an iPad, and my app needs to be able to launch other apps using a URL scheme, and also to be launched by another app, by receiving a URL scheme from it. From what I have read, it would appear that AIR for iOS apps can receive and respond to URL schemes, but they cannot send URL schemes to launch other apps, due to security restrictions.
Does anyone know if it is possible to both send and receive URL schemes?

Yes, you can.
Open installed "Wikitude" app can be done via this script
import flash.events.MouseEvent;
btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, callURL);
function callURL(e:MouseEvent):void{
    navigateToURL(new URLRequest("wikitude://"));
Same way you can open your app from any other. In example above Wikitude app it's URI id. The same as below iPadARIconAppB
Here is part of Application-xml.xml descriptor from my old project:

You need to change CFBundleURLName to your app ID by my sample and CFBundleURLSchemes put there your own app name.
If you want open your app from any other - you must open "iPadARIconAppB://" and if you need pass params - just make "iPadARIconAppB://myparams" and read it via Invoke from Adobe Air.
Air is great and allow many things

What is the URL for the itunes u course manager?

what is the URL for the itunes u course manager? the one on the Apple site returns a page not found

https://itunesu.itunes.apple.com/coursemanager/

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!

ITunes u course manager log in

I am unable to log into iTunes u course manager on ipad3. I get a message that my browser is not supported but I am using safari

You are welcome, WonderProfessor.
Updating iTunes may not be the reason at all. It could very well be the Support Team has fixed the problem, which i think is the case.
Also, I learned i should report EACH problem to iTunes U Support Team using its Report Form:
https://ssl.apple.com/support/itunes-u/public-site-manager/contact.html
I used the Report Form a couple of months ago to report a different problem. One tech support person responsded and I have been emailing to that individual via email about a few more issues since then. This, however, is NOT a good practice. Reporting each problem using the report form will help the iTunes Support Team to prioritize the work based on urgency.
Anyway, I am releaved it is working now. Thank you. And thanks to the iTunes U Support Team and iTunes U Editors.

HT5100 Joining an iTunes U course

I have a student that whenever he clicks on my course code I email him, the course doesn't install on iTunes U it just opens up Safari and has a message to go and download iTunes even though he has it installed on his iPad. If he clicks to install it just goes to iTunes and shows "Open". What is wrong?

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?

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?

On my iPad, when I try to open a movie I purchased from iTunes, I get "The requested URL was not found on this server."

On my iPad, when I try to open a movie I purchased from iTunes, I get "The requested URL was not found on this server." It's on my laptop but when I play it there, it 'jerks' every couple of seconds. How can I fix both these issues? Thanks!!

Select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History on your computer.

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 ipod touch(4th gen)no longer syncs to itunes 10.7 via USB

My ipod touch(4th gen)no longer syncs to itunes 10.7 via usb. i knew it didn't work via wifi with the new updates but this is too far. i can't see it in itunes at all anymore. i restarted my ipod already still with no results. the only thing i did is create and delete playlist from the ippd and deleted others from itunes as well. i've done it before but this time i assume it's led to this. any suggestions?

Disregard. It seems i just needed to install an optional update with windows update. either that or just restart my computer instead of my ipod. silly me.

My ipod nano isn't syncing when I try and change the setting in manually, but is however syncing when I launch the itunes by plugging it in. I'm wondering if anyone has had this issue and/or had been able to fix the problem?

Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
From the notes for the release:
iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
• Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
• Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
• Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
• Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

The main part of the safari page is grey and won't respond/can't type in any commands. I can move back through the previous pages, and even open new ones via the URL, but can't get onto the main part of the page and I can't get onto the 9 page option. !?

Help, please.

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
