QR code that triggers an iTunes track download?

Recently I heard of a band that created a QR code block that when imaged by a smart phone (iPhone for most of us ) caused the phone to contact iTunes, locate a particular one of the band's tracks and then caused the track to be downloaded to the smart phone for free. I have found lots of sites that will generate QR code but I have had no luck in finding out how to create the commands to effect something this complicated. Help anyone? (QR codes are the square barcode images that are starting to pop up more and more in advertising.)

Hi John,
As you say, the location property of a file track is read-only, which means precisely that: you can't re-write it, much less expect the source file to jump to a new location on your disk by changing the track's properties.
However, have a look at <a href="http://www.dougscripts.com/itunes/scrxcont.php")Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes</a>. There's a script there which claims to do what you want (search for "Broken"). It takes a different approach to the one you were thinking about, but it might be helpful. Plus there are loads of other iTunes scripts which are worth studying.

  • How can I write a code that triggers when clicking on Save button

    I want to hide certain fields inside my tracking list, if the login user is not part of the “Managers” group.
    To do so I want to add the following Page-load code inside a web part :-
    using (SPSite site = new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Site.Url))
    using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
    {SPGroup group = site.Groups["Managers"];
    bool isUser = site.IsCurrentUserMemberOfGroup(group.ID);
    if (isUser)
    {textbox.Visible=false;}}
    And the following custom code that triggers when saving the form :-
    using (SPSite site = new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Site.Url))
    using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
    SPList list = web.Lists["ListName"];web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = true;
    SPListItem item = list.Items[SPContext.Current.ListItem.UniqueId];
    txtTitle.Text = item["Title"] as string;item.Update();web.AllowUnsafeUpdates = false;
    But I am not sure where exactly I should add the custom code for the save button ? I tried writing it inside the Oninit method , but I got many errors as shown below:-
    So can anyone advice how i should write the web part to include the Page load & the custom save button code?
    second question in general is my above approach considered valid , i mean to hide/show list columns using web parts ?

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that you want to hide/show list columns based on specify the permission for Users, SharePoint Groups or Active Directory Groups.
    Here is a solution from CodePlex for your reference:

    HOW DO I REDEEM A CODE THAT I SAID LATER TO DOWNLOADING

    "All purchases have been downloaded for this Apple ID."  I took the time to read the Itunes support before posting on this board. I feel like the program is flawed for not letting me download the file that I chose to download later. Also it used up my download code. Thanks for trying to help, Chris CA, but I tried that already and it doesn't work for this situation.
    iTunes prefs > Store.
    Tick Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases.
    If it's not there, log out of iTunes store then log back in.
    Now slect Movies.
    You should see a cloud icon next to iTunes purcahses that are not on yrou computer.
    Click to download (or you can simply click Play to stream & not download).

  • How can we identify the coupon code that triggered the promotion discount in the order?

    Hi,
    As we can create the coupons and assign the promotions to them to give discounts.How can we identity the coupon code that is added the promotion which caused the discount in the order?
    Regards,
    Chede

    I'm giving you an example. Here is how you do it starting with order level promotions. OrderImpl object API below give you orderpirceinfo and second link gives adjustments.
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E35319_01/Platform.10-2/apidoc/atg/commerce/order/OrderImpl.html#getPriceInfo()
    From OrderPriceInfo which extends AmountInfo, the following method gives adjustments
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E35319_01/Platform.10-2/apidoc/atg/commerce/pricing/AmountInfo.html#getAdjustments()
    Now iterate through adjustments, to get pricingmodel(which is promotion) and coupon applied on order
    PricingAdjustment (ATG Java API)
    PricingAdjustment (ATG Java API)
    Hope this gives you an idea where to start with.

  • Several times I've downloaded albums from iTunes to find that some of the tracks did not get fully downloaded so that the track with skip to the next one. Can someone tell me why this is happening and how I can fix it?

    Several times I've downloaded an album from iTunes to find that not all of the tracks were fully downloaded so that some of the tracks will skip to the next one (instead of finishing the song). Can anyone tell me why this happens and how I can fix it?

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the tracks and try redownloading fresh copies.
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.
    (Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

  • Deleting itunes tracks that I purchased but didn't download properly and have no known file

    I purchased a new album and I had to leave for work shortly after it started downloading, so I just left my computer on to finish. It should have only taken a couple minutes to download. When I came home, only a few of the 18 tracks downloaded. The rest had the ! next to it in the faded grey and had to source file. I couldn't redownload it from iTunes as it said it was already on my computer. I updated my laptop with my purchases and then copied the songs that were missed from my laptop to my desktop. It's all good there now, but now I have a bunch of tracks on my iTunes that will not play, have no file location, and they will not delete. They are unchecked and when I right click on them to delete them, they just won't. How do I remove these tracks?

    I don't use smart playlists (don't even know what they are actually). I'm just trying to delete them from my main music library. Here's a screenshot of what I'm  looking at. Right clicking and selecting delete does nothing. The shift delete does nothing. When I go to get info and select file info, it has nothing for file location. Any suggestions?

  • Tracking downloads of our podcast on the Apple iTunes Store

    My company posted our first set of podcasts to the iTunes Store. As a content creator, is there any way that we can track the number of visits or downloads of our podcasts?

    The podcasts do not reside on Apple's servers but they provide a link to your own. Your web admin (IT department?) should have software that provides statistics on any downloads from/contacts wit your site.

  • Why does iTunes Match download songs that I skip?

    I haven't seen this question posted yet, but feel free to direct me to any pertinent posts.
    I've been using iTunes Match for the last couple days, and all in all I really enjoy the service. There is one issue that I've yet to see addressed on these boards yet though; why is iTunes Match downloading songs that I skip? I listen to all my music in random, so occasionally there will be a song I just don't want to hear at the moment. I assumed that if I don't listen to a song completely that it would not be downloaded to my device. Not true apparently. I was able to use about half a gig of data in a few hours just by skipping songs. Every song that was skipped, even if I didn't hear a single second of it, was downloaded (at an average size of 5-8 MB). I sincerely hope this is just a bug and not a 'feature'.
    Any insight on this would be appreciated.

    I have noticed this too. I filled up my phone VERY fast yesterday.
    and deleting is not easy, lots of left swipe DELETE action, took a while.

    Unless you've recently attempted to downgrade iTunes this is probably a sign of a corrupt library file. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash.

  • I downloaded a free App called ThaiPad from Bangkok Post newspaper. I downloaded on my PC running Windows 7. The Bangkok Post recommended itunes for downloading. I completed download but it would not open. I am assuming that perhaps this App. was for iPod

    I downloaded a free App. called ThaiPad from Bangkok Post newswpapers. I downloaded on my PC running Windows 7. The Bangkok Post recommended itunes for downloading. I completed the download but it would not open. I assume that this App was for iPad or iPod etc as the Bangkok Post wants to sell content,  after the free content,  via itunes store I assume. Can someone tell me if I can open this in Windows 7 and if so how. Thanks.

    Any app that you download using iTunes is for use only on iPad, iPhone, or iPod Touch, and not on a PC. It's possible they have a separate app for PC, as some companies do, but the one you downloaded via iTunes definitely will not open in Windows 7.

    Additional Information:

    Thank you for any help

    (I think the daughter got he better end of the deal!)   I believe if you change the password and user id one of the devices it will stop that from occurring. But I'm not the one to tell you how to do it; someone like "Illaass" (Illaass seems to know how to correct / fix almost anything!) will know how if you don't. Just look for the "cat" icon.

    That means you have to sign into/view your account and review you account and make sure you have a valid payment method specified in your account.
