Shibboleth integration with ITunes U

I have setup a shibboleth idp with the incommon federation. I am releasing the correct attributes to ITunes U shibboleth SP (as proven by the debug page at ITunes).
But, I am getting the following error:
"The format of the signature string is valid, but its value is not valid for the shared secret of the destination and for the received identity, credentials, and time."
The identity info does not contain any invalid characters, the credentials are normal and does not contain invalid characters, and the time is correct (idp is sync'ed by NTP).
Since I do not have access to ITunes U SP/transfer script, how do I know if the shared secret is configured properly on Apple's side?
Is it possible there is a shared secret mismatch between ITunes U and ITunes U SP/transfer script?
Here is the full debug page content (modified for privacy):

The destination string is valid and the corresponding destination item was found.
The identity string is valid and provides the following information:
Display Name I am abc_001

The time string is valid and corresponds to 2009-02-17 15:35:42Z.
The format of the signature string is valid, but its value is not valid for the shared secret of the destination and for the received identity, credentials, and time.
To verify that your signature generation algorithm is correct, try using it with a shared secret of "SHARED-SECRET-FOR-ACCESS-TESTING" (hexadecimal value 0x5348415245442d5345435245542d464f522d4143434553532d54455354494e47). When you use that test shared secret, this debug page will indicate when you have successfully generated a valid signature for it. If you are seeing this paragraph, you have not yet generated such a signature.

I've been doing some testing and it seems like this freeze happens on Tabs that have a lot of videos. I've tested areas that are mainly audio and they don't seem to lock up iTunes.

  • Synology NAS integration with iTunes

    Hi everyone,
    I just bought a Synology NAS DiskStation 212J, planning to free some space on my MacBook Pro, transfering photos, music and video to the DiskStation, which is connected to my wired network. On my network I have a Mac Mini server, connected to my living room TV, from where I want to manage all my files.
    Regarding iTunes (I have a library of around 350 gb), what I did was the following:
    1) Copied all the Itunes Media folder to the NAS DiskStation, placing it on the following folder: Music/iTunes/iTunes Media/Music
    2) I then copied to my MacMini server all of the iTunes Database files, which include the itune library.itl and others.
    3) Opened iTunes (option click) and selecter the new iTunes library.
    As expected, iTunes opened with all my playslists and names, except that the files where not found, as I moved the media folder. I tried locating 1 single music and it played ok,  once it found the path.
    4) I then changed on the preferences the location of itunes media, pointing it to the NAS.
    It's been more than 5 hours and the colored wheel keeps spining.
    Will this work? Did I do something wrong?
    Is there any other way around this?
    Thanks

    Actually I was already happy with the storage of my media files on QNAP T209, until (again) it happened:
    All of a sudden I cannot access my QNAP by Finder anymore. E.g.: I do see the main directory Public-iTunes - and that's it. I cannot see any of the files in the directory via Finder. Checking with XP notebook - all filed where they should be. Same happens to my iPhoto library...
    Is there anybody having an idea? any settings for network somewhere???
    Updated T209 OS - no improvement
    Contacted Hotline, nice guy, immidiate response, but did not find the problem...
    What is curious also: iTunes does find the files and delivers the music

  • Integrated my Itunes with limewire but won't recognize new songsHELP!

    OK. I downloaded limewire...and then i downloaded iTunes.The limewire comes with iTunes integration once you have both and when you do a folder comes up in ur itunes mainscreen about owners limewire tunes.Well i looked in the troubleshooting part and found out how to get that folder into my library so i could sort them into playlists because im not the only one that uses this computer(and you can't put them into playlists if they aren't in your library)so now once i did that and got my playlists sorted out, now when I download the new songs they go right back into my owners limewire tunes and not the library ... so it's like all that was for nothing.... PLZ HELP!!!!!!!!!!!

    That's one of the weird things.. it recognizes it maybe 10% of the time. And usually, only after I do the two-button reset. Problem is.. since it won't charge above 2%, anytime I try to do a restore or anything like that using iTunes, my device shuts off and I lose whatever progress I'd made.
    So, an update... after reading through a bunch of similar complaints (there are literally 1000's of them so there's NO WAY this isn't somehow ios7 related, thanks a lot APPLE ) I decided to try a restore in recovery mode. After 3 hours and several disconnections... I ended up having to just set it up as a new iPad, as the restore did nothing. Weirdly though... as I was doing the restore in recovery mode.. I noticed I'd gotten up to a 10% charge.. higher than it's been since September, so after setting it up as a new device, I turned it off and plugged it in using the wall charger. 2 hours later and I was up to 38%. Still not great, as my iPad, before ios7 could've fully charged twice in the amount of time it took for me to now get 28% more of a charge. And that's with a fully cleaned out device.. so that really ***** and I'm now more confused than ever.
    But I'm gonna leave it overnight charging and see what I come up with tomorrow. Sadly, when I paid $600 for it in February, I never expected to have to play "wait and see" with it...

  • ITunes integration with DJ  software

    I use a dj program called Cross and it integrates with iTunes. After creating two iTunes library the software will recognize one of the iTunes library and then upon restarting the software it shows the iTunes section as blank.  I've deleted the .xml file so that a new one would be created, I've restarted all software, restarted, computer, reinstalled the dj software- all to no avail.  Help please!  MacBook Pro 15" Mavericks, 8 GB.

    I get the feeling you need to ask the DJ software people about this since something up with their interface.  Or get very, very lucky and hope somebody here happens to use the same software in the same way as you.

  • How do I get rid of lip-sync issues with iTunes 10.2.2.12?

    Hi Everyone.
    Firstly, a very Happy Easter!
    I'm having lip-sync issues with iTunes playback on my PC. The video is largely smooth with the occaisional choppiness when the CPU is made to work hard. (Playback on my iPod Touch is fine).
    The system stats for my PC are at the bottom of the post.
    The sound is produced through a Creative Live Sound Blaster Live! 5.1 card.
    Video is through a NVIDIA Geforce 6200 with 512Mb of RAM. (All video and audio drivers are up to date).
    The physical set-up is that I have iTunes installed on the C drive and my media installed on an external USB hard-drive.This isn't just a problem with 10.2.2.12 - it's been there for the last few updates.
    I suppose my main questions are:
    Should iTunes and my media be on the same drive? (Which would mean the external drive as I'm short on space on the C drive).
    Is there some combination of settings in QuickTime that will solve this? (I've tried different combinations, but it doesn't really help).
    Is the spec (below) of my PC causing any issues.
    Here's an Easter Egg for anyone able to help!!
    All the best

  • IPad backup with iTunes 12.1.2

    After updating to OS X 10.10.3 and iTunes 12.1.2:
    Local backup of iPad in iTunes on Mac stops all the time on time-out. (wire connected)
    Sync and backup to iCloud works fine.
    Anybody else encountered this and found a solution?

    Check that you have the latest version of QuickTime (7.7.6) installed
    Try varying the Play Audio Using setting in Edit > Preferences > Advanced (you'll need to restart iTunes for changes to take effect).  Most users experiencing playback issues who've found that this resolves the issue have reported that setting this to Direct Sound works.
    If neither of these produce improvement (and assuming you're running a 64-bit edition of Windows) try installing this alternative version of iTunes:
    iTunes 12.1.2 for Windows (64-bit — for older video cards)
    The "for older video cards" label is somewhat misleading; as with the previous 12.1 and 12.1.1 releases this provides a 32-bit application with a 64-bit installed, the same as all "64 bit" versions of iTunes prior to 12.1.  As well as video card incompatibility this version may address issues with playback as well as integration with third party tools.
    For the third option, see also turingtest2's user tip on Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates for steps that may be necessary to completely remove all components of iTunes prior to re-installing.

  • HT204406 Hard Drive wiped out - Can I rebuild the library with iTunes Match?

    My hard drive and external back of my entire music library (15,000+ songs) were completely deleted. I would like to recover this in some way other than loading each single CD one at a time again. I have iTunes Match so I was wondering if there is someway for me to rebuild my library via download from the cloud or something so that I can maintain a new physical copy of the files on my computer again? Or will I have to do this from my iPod?

    Hello Mclary101,
    Thanks for your question! Im sorry to hear about your computer but it sounds like you had iTunes Match turned on before this happened. You should be able to use this article to get your music in iTunes Match re downloaded:
    iTunes: How to add a computer or iOS device to iTunes Match
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4913
    To add a computer to iTunes Match
    Open the latest version of iTunes on the computer you intend to add. You can download the latest version of iTunes here.
    Sign in with the Apple ID you use with iTunes Match.
    Choose Store > Turn On iTunes Match.
    Click the Add This Computer button.
    When prompted, enter your Apple ID password.
    iTunes will automatically begin scanning your computer's library for matches.
    A status indicator will allow you to track progress. You may also manually pause and resume the process at any time by clicking the Stop or Start button.
    Once iTunes has completed matching and uploading your iTunes library, your music in iCloud will be integrated into your local music library. A download button will appear to the right of any content that you have in iCloud that doesn't already exist on your computer.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    Sterling

  • Images not shared with Itunes

    It seems that my images stopped sharing with Itunes some months ago and i am not sure if it is broken or a setting is turned off or what?

    The integration between itunes and Aperture is messed up. It just doesn't work correctly. here's a test I did after having odd things happening with iTunes:
    - Selecting *Favorites Only* in Aperture then quitting (allowing for the sharing preview function to complete) and restarting iTunes resulted in all albums disappearing - leaving only the top level categories (empty since they're not albums). Only way to get things back was to restart Aperture, select Show All, force one preview generation, quit Aperture and restart iTunes - I mentioned forcing a preview because that's the only way I was able to recover my album list in iTunes... go figure. Note that iTunes instantly deleted all my photos from Apple TV as soon as it lost the album list, but when the list reappeared (after the procedure I described) all my previous album selections were intact and syncing put everything back.
    Another major annoyance: adding ANYTHING to Aperture (project, album, light table) will ALWAYS shift the selection in iTunes. It's as if iTunes relies on an album's order number and not its name to identify it. So everytime I import new images ( I work with dated projects) or create a new album, I need to make sure I visit iTunes as soon as I quit Aperture otherwise I end up with random or deleted images on my Apple TV.
    These are very annoying issues and quite un-Apple like. And btw, nothing like this happens with iPhoto.
    Maybe these tests will shed some light on your problems...

  • Integration of iTunes into MacOSX

    I think that there should be a way to have iTunes integrated with the top bar on MacOSX (ie. where the Battery Life, Time & Date are displayed) so that the user can access track information, change tracks and all-in-all have control over iTunes while they have another program open.

    There are many third-party programs that do this. Take a look at BravoTunes, for starters.

  • I've been trying to make an account with iTunes n everytime I get to the part of the credit card that's as far as I get because I dnt have one, how can I make an iTunes account without a credit card??

    I've been trying to make an account with iTunes n everytime I get to the part of the credit card that's as far as I get because I dnt have one, how can I make an iTunes account without a credit card??

    Where are you located?
    Just go and buy an iTunes gift card at any store in your country.
    Then follow all the steps you did, but when it asks you for the credit card number, there shoujld be a GIFT CARD option which will let you load your account witht eh funds form the gift card without providing a credit/debit card #.

  • OIM 9.1.0 Integration with Active Directory 2008 R2

    Hi,
    My customer is running Root/Child AD structure based on windows 2003 w/SP2, OIM 9.1.0 deployed under one of the child domains, and integrated with child domains controllers which runs windows server 2003 as well.
    My customer has decided to upgrade his AD to Windows Server 2008 R2 domain controllers across the entire AD Forest and still wants to integrate the current OIM v9.1.0 with AD for all of his Users provisioning and password synchronizations.
    Am not sure if current OIM version of OIM 9.1.0 is compatible and supported by OIM v9.1.0 under active directory version 2008 / R2, and not sure if it can be integrated with such AD version.
    Any guidance is really appreciated.
    Also I was thinking of such scenario but also not sure of its support ability and if OIM will keep working on such scenario, the scenario is to upgrade only the AD root domain to Windows 2008 R2 while keeping the child domain holding the OIM 9.1.0 at Windows 2003 version.
    Is this a working and supported scenario by OIM v9.1.0 ?

    I believe you question should be if the connector supports this architecture. Check out the versions supported for the connector you are using and you should be good.

  • Is anybody else having problems with itunes (10.6.3.25) and ipod touch (5.1.1)?

    Lately I've been having a ton of problems with iTunes and my iPod Touch (4th generation). Lots of error messages such as can't connect to itunes store, incompatible application, ipod detected but not identifiable, invalid response received from device, unknown errors [mostly (0xE8000001)], problem with audio configuration, etc. I've done everything I could think of. Uninstalling iTunes (with all the components) then reinstalling with the newest version (10.6.3.25), running diagnostics and such. If it does appear (about 2% of the time) then iTunes freezes and/or it won't sync. I also try to change some info (song title, artist, artwork, etc)(when it DOES come up) and it shows up on itunes but not on my ipod. My ipod appears on my computer but not in iTunes under devices like its supposed to. I've been to all the support threads I can possibly find and NOTHING has helped. I also had the latest version for the ipod touch (5.1.1). And I've never had any issues with iTunes or my iPod touch before. I know I should probably try restoring my ipod but I absolutely do not want to do that unless I have to because i have a lot of music, apps, movies, etc I'm not able to back up. Also, I'm using a Windows 7 computer. Please Please help if you can, I am frustrated because I can't do anything.

    For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    If you've already tried a complete uninstall and reinstall try opening iTunes in safe mode (hold down CTRL+SHIFT as you start iTunes) then going to Edit > Preferences > Store and turning off Show iTunes in the Cloud purchases. You may find iTunes will now start normally.

  • My 2nd gen IPOD touch will no longer sync with itunes.

    My 2nd gen IPOD touch will no longer sync with itunes.  it tells me it cannot read the contents of the ipod then it says the ipod software server cannot be contacted.  Any suggestions?

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem
    Then try restoring again.
