Mac OS X (GUI) app for accessing iTunes U directly

I have created a Mac OS X Core Data application that some of you might find useful. Basically, it's a tool that generates an iTunes U URL from your site URL, shared secret, user identity, etc. There are two main reasons I created the app:
1. You haven't yet setup your portal site but you'd still like to access iTunes U just the same. This is especially the case when you get that e-mail from Apple with your site info.
2. You want to test accessing iTunes U as specific users with specific permissions. My app lets you save as many identites as you'd like.
If you'd like to mess with the app, drop me a line (maito:[email protected]). If there's enough interest, I'll setup a download page.

Well, I found out a couple of things.
A nice person from Apple reported that my app must have been built on a PPC Mac. That is very true ... I never even thought to check that little checkbox in XCode that builds code as Universal. So I did that.
Problem is that on an Intel Mac, the generated string is no longer cool. I "suspect" that the culprit may be in the SHA-256 C routines Apple provided us (and upon which my code is based). There's a lot of hex in there ... so there could be a lurking endian issue buried deep insde the code. I'm checking into that.
For now, I would say, stick with Rosetta when running the app.
Also, a number of people asked for user-interface tweaks. I'll make them.

Setting up Remote Desktop Apps for access from a Mac with 2FA

Hi
Setting up Remote Desktop Apps for access from a Mac with 2FA.
I have a server 2012 remote access gateway, with remote apps published(which uses single signon), behind a 2FA connection (web based) and want to know if its possible to allow macs to connect to the remote Apps behind it. i cannot permanently remove any
of the above setup as it is a requirement.
When i connect from a mac i can login to both the 2FA and remote access web pages and see all the apps but when i click on any app it downloads it to the mac and when i try to run it using Remote Desktop App for MAC i get an error :
"httpendpointexception: 4, The non-proxy http connection failed to connect with the message: 500 internal Server Error."
I have tried with 2fa turned off for testing and get the same result.Does it support 2012 TSGW server? does it support Remote desktop apps? as i cant find a definitive answer on either.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi,
Thank you for posting in Windows Server Forum.
From Error description it seems to be a communication issue between your Mac and your RD gateway server. If you connect from extranet, you may need Remote Desktop Gateway or a VPN/Direct Access connection to your intranet, or forward port 3389 on your router.
500 Internal Server Error seems to be a HTTP related error.
The HTTP status code in IIS 7.0, IIS 7.5, and IIS 8.0
Also, please double check the settings if you have a RD gateway implemented in you intranet.
http://redmondmag.com/articles/2013/12/24/rd-gateway-in-windows-server.aspx
In Windows Server 2012 R2 RD Gateway pluggable authentication is also introduced. This allows custom authentication routines to be used with RD Gateway. For example building a two-factor solution on top of RD Gateway is now possible which allows doing token-authentication
to the RD Gateway which works seamlessly with RD Web Access or RDP file launching.
Please check below article for more information.
Windows Server 2012 R2 is coming what does this add to RDS – VDI
In addition, please provide the log file from the client for further research.

Hope it helps!
Thanks.

I am looking to start developing apps for the iTunes Store, but I have no previous experience. What is the best way for me to start on this? As in which programs and materials must I need and what I need to know. Thanks!

You will need a Mac, with OS X 10.6+ on it, to be able to develop iOS apps.
There is some info on these pages :
developer site : https://developer.apple.com
developing for iOS 7 : https://developer.apple.com/ios7/
developer support : https://developer.apple.com/support/
developer forums : https://devforums.apple.com/index.jspa (you will need to be a registered developer to access them)

Mac won't update software or access iTunes shop. Message comes up with 'not connected to the net. Check connections' error. I still have internet access. Changed my Apple ID but no result. Repaired permissions and re-installed operating system.

It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

Is there a voice recording app for ipad that shares directly via iMessage (not just email) - like voice memos does on iphone?

Does any-one perhaps know whether there's a voice recording app for ipad that shares directly via iMessage (not just email) - like voice memo does on iphone?

You can't do anything in the background of iOS. Apps are still one at a time (with a few exceptions like Music), and suspend when the app is closed. It's also against the App Store guidelines to sell apps that would allow such actions.
Though, maybe you could get your Voice Memos saved to MP3's, which can play in the background of other apps.

App for accessing remote files on a mac that you can play in another app

Hey all,
Anyone know of an app that will allow me to access files stored on a mac connected to the same wifi that I can play the file through another app in the iPhone without the file being transferred to the phone?
For example, I want to be able to access a m4v stored on my mac over wifi, within the iPhone, to be played with a video player that I can send to a TV with the composite cable.
I found NetPortal, which works quite well, but you need to transfer the file to your iphone and even then, it wont open with many apps. I tried transferring a m4v file to my phone and it only gave me goodreader as an app to open the file with. I could simply transfer the file I want to access using my USB cable to my iPhone much faster.
Simply, I want to be able to stream movies from my Mac, through my iPhone to a TV and I am finding it hard to find Apps that allow such a thing.
Any suggestions?

I already have that setup at home. I want to be able to use this when I am on the road.
I already use StreamToMe and Airvideo, but sometimes the quality is quite bad, which is mainly cause by my low upload speed. So I am looking for higher quality alternatives. I carry around a macbook air a lot so I figured I could store lots of movies for on the road to be played on other's tvs when were taking it easy.
I am always so amused by responses on this forum. The solution is always to buy something.

TS3297 Can't update apps or access iTunes store

Trying to update my apps on iPhone and iPad and can't access my iTunes store on windows 7.

Many thanks.
On PC just get the initial iTunes store opening screen but then it doesn't move on to the actual store.
With that one, I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

Need a good GUI app for capturing a watching TV

kdetv and tvtime are very good for watching TV, but both can't capture in the broadcast.
do you know a good app or frontend for capturing?

i tried XDTV, but i didn't like it, it has an ugly interface (and was wery wery slow on my A64 too!), crashed sometimes...
I tried then G4vl, its a GUI frontent to transcode, and uses the config files of xawtv, so you have to generate the channels with xawtv, then here you go...
You have to recompille transcode with --enable-v4l option in order to work with Gv4l. It much better then xdtv imho, worked pretty good 4 me.
I submitted a pkg in AUR, try it, vote for it

Mac OS X Fullscreen App for Creative Cloud

HELP! My mac os version is old for newest itunes update!

Hi, please help, I'm soooo frustrated!!
I had an older version of Itunes and was forced to install the newest 12.0.1 version, so I did, and restarted my laptop to complete installation and nothing happened - the update wouldn't get finished, so I did this about 3 times still installation wouldn't complete. Thinking this is a glitch with installation, I deleted Itunes altogether and went on itunes.com to install the new version from there. After it got installed, it told me that it requires OS X version 10.7.5 and my current one is Mac OS 10.6.8 !!! This is sooo annoying, why does Apple force ppl to get updates all the time??

If it's a PowerPC Mac, upgrading isn't possible.
If it's an Intel Mac, upgrading requires buying a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD from the online Apple Store.

Gnome SmsSend [GUI app for Smssend {already in Arch}]

http://lassauge.free.fr/smssend/en_gsmssend.htm
this is an unmainted program, that should work with SmsSend.
If someone has the time and wishes to try make a pkg out of it. The good thing is, that it won't have newer version.
"packaged once, installs forever"
as one could say paraphrasing Moon's moto

dp wrote:FYI: smssend is in my TUR
well I use TURs
I tried to make a pkg for it, but it complains about missing stuff, and the README says it should be placed inside the source of smssend to compile
maybe one day, I'm gonna fork the source

Considering the app for the iPhone is for iOS, you may have problems using it on the Mac (Mac OS X)
Two different operating sysems.
From iTunes for the touchpad app:
Requirements: Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad. Requires iOS 5.1 or later. This app is optimized for iPhone 5.
