Unable to download every other lecture for all courses!

As of 3/5/2012, I have been unable to download every other lecture (modulo 2) for every course and collection.
I'm using an iPhone 4, with iOS 5.0.1. Only iTunes U appears to be affected. I can still stream the undownloadable lectures, but am unable to download them for later viewing away from wifi/cellular service.
Is this behavior by design?
Is it a bug?
Is there any way to get the "Free" > "Download Video" links back?
Has anyone else experienced this?
Thank you for any and all help,
John

It doesn't appear to be limited to a specific provider. Courses from Yale (organic chem), UC Berkley (Chem 1a, 1al fall 2011) and MIT (Intro to Algorithms, Physics I) are all affected, for example. If I randomly browse courses, they're affected too. After looking through about 30 courses/collections, I haven't found a course or collection that isn't affected. It appears to be a modulo 2 thing, as the "Free" button is missing for every other lecture in every case (the odd lectures don't have the "Free" button, and the evens do, in every case). Only the iTunes U app appears to be affected. The iTunes app doesn't exhibit this behavior. I've tried rebooting, killing and restarting the app, deleting and redownloading the app. I've also tried touching the spot where the "Free" button should be, which results in the course streaming, instead of downloading.
The buttons render initially, and then disappear with the second refresh, when I initially navigate to a course or collection.
The system log appears to display the following messages:
SpringBoard[15] (Warning) (displayed about 5 times on a single access, not sure if this is related)
Unable to deliver SBApplicationNotificationStateChanged
wifid[25] (Error)
WiFi....Client itunesstored is background application
Any thoughts?

  • Sound drops in iTunes every other song for all speakers when a remote speaker is being used

    Ever since I've run the most recent update for Mountain Lion, Whenever I play any songs from iTunes, and one of my remote speakers is being used by Airplay, the sound volume drops as if muted for all speaker sets that are active, even for the computer speakers.  All I have to do to fix it temporarily is to hit the pause button, then play again and the sound comes back...for about one or two songs, then the same thing happens.  If I only run my computer speakers, the volume stays with no problems.
    Any Ideas?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    iTunes and iCloud and different accounts, you will need to delete both accounts from your device before adding the new details in their place.
    For iCloud go to settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit the delete button. You can then sign back in using your correct details. For iTunes go to settings >store, tap your account ID and then sign out, you can then sign back in using your correct Apple ID.

    I like and use Top Sites but it has become unsuable with this constant blacking out and reloading the thumbnails.  My MBP has not seen a problem at all.
    I have been searching every other day for over a month trying to find a fix in Windows Safari with no joy.  I want to resolve, not switch browsers. Please offer up a solution that only refreshes the Top Site thumbnails once a day or as some controlable interval.  Started about two versions ago, now on ver 5.1.5. Windows 7 64bit.
    Safari 5.1.5 for Win64 bit, Windows 7!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I think I solved the wifi connection problem, just by switching off completely the router! sounds trivial, but in this case it worked!!!
    the funny behaviour of the trackpad/cursor still persists. any suggestion???
    thanks again

    Wow, just posting and it seems that there is a solution that is working for me...
    What I've did is I turned off iTunes Match on my iPhone, then turned in on again. Now in my iTunes library on my mac I can get the duplicates to be matched or uploaded to iCloud with a right-click, add to iCloud. iTunes Match starts to check the songs and everything is done correctly. Pretty nice!

    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4623
    If you are currently running an iOS lower than 5.0, connect the iPhone to the computer, open iTunes. Then select the iPhone under the Devices heading on the left, click on the Summary tab and then click on Check for Update.
    Tip - If connected to your computer, you may need to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily.  Then download and install the iOS update. Be sure and backup your iPad before the iOS update. After you update an iPad (except iPad 1) to iOS 6.x, the next update can be installed via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer).

    If the platform is XP Prof. You have to stop the services before you de-install the modules. To complete clean up the Oracle installation, after you run the Oracle installer, you have to remove the key in Windows registery and then remove all the related directories.
    The "getting started for windows" document has a detailed instruction of how to do this (from stopping oracle services to deleting directories). I tried it at least twice, it works.
    Good luck.

  • I rented a short film on iTunes but didn't have enough space for the HD version I paid for. I was unable to download it in SD for whatever reason and cannot seem to download my purchase on my desktop iTunes. Am I missing something?

    I rented a short film on iTunes but didn't have enough space for the HD version I paid for. I was unable to download it in OR convert it to SD for whatever reason and cannot seem to download my purchase on my desktop iTunes. Am I missing something?

    When you purchase an HD movie or show, in most cases the SD copy can be downloaded from your purchases area in iTunes. On the main iTunes Store page, go to Purchases under the Quick Links and then select Movies or TV shows as appropraite. Click the "Not On This Computer" button. Uncheck the "Download HD when available" box and you should then see the SD copies of the movies/shows and be able to download them.
    Note that with digital copies from a Blu-Ray or DVD, if it comes with an HD copy, you normally cannot get the SD copy as well and have to purchase it separately if you want it.
    Regards.

    Hi @imobl,
    You sound like an Apple support guy who hasn't been able to answer my questions.
    To respond to some of the points you made,
    - I did not ignore Ocean20's suggestion. If you has read my post, you would have known that I took my phone to the apple service centre where they tried this restore on THEIR machines. I am assuming that Apple guys know how not to block iTunes. So I actually do not understand your point about me trying the hosts file changes on my machine. Do you not believe that apple tested this issue with the correct settings?
    - you also give a flawed logic of why the issue is a hardware issue. You mentioned that If I thought that the issue was with the software, i should try a restore and getting it to work. The problem is that my error (23), and many others comes up when the restore fails. And you would be astonished to know that not all errors are hardware errors. Sometimes even software errors prevent restores. Funnily enough Apple itself mention that 'in rare cases, error 23 could be hardware related'.
    - all Apple has done so far is replicate the issue. I don not know how anyone can conclude that the issue is a hardware issue.
    And by the way, I am not certain that this is a software bug. Again if you read my Posts, you will notice I only want a confirmation,/proof that the issue is hardware related as they mention..
    Please refrain do. Responding if there is nothing to add.
