iTunes U Public Site Manager?

The new tools will only apply to public sites. It's my understanding that private sites will continue to work the same way as now.

Has the documentation about Public Site Manager been posted yet? I couldn't find it.

I thought Eric and Steve said it would be posted yesterday.

Puzzled,

Also looking for documentation...

I have also been unable to find the documentation.

I'm also slightly concerned because we currently have an unlaunched site, and we have decided to postpone our launch slightly and get up and running within Public Site Manager from the start. As we are unlaunched the webcast said to check the box for considering inclusion into the iTunes store and they would sort out access to Public Site Manager. I hope they realise we don't want to go live yet (we don't have enough content loaded in yet anyway), I did send an email to the itunes-u-request email address featured in the webcast.

Here is the link to the documentation for iTunes U Public Site Manager:

Thanks so much, Aiden.

Is there a PDF version as well?

"Introducing iTunes U Public Site Manager" announcement is displaying in my iTunes Windows Desktop application (fully updated) after I login, and there is no way presented to close it or exit out of this notification message. I can't get to anything on the site at all to edit/upload/manage/etc.

How can this 'notification' be removed and/or closed?

I noticed that too on my PC. I then tried it on a Mac and there is a link showing at the bottom to close it.

This "iTunes U Public Site Manager" notice should not have been sent to Windows desktop applications if it was going to completely disable access to iTunes U for those of us who don't have a MAC.

I downloaded iTunes for Windows (not MAC), so notifications/announcements delivered from Apple, Inc. should not be causing this problem.

I am disappointed that Apple didn't test this before sending out this message.

Due to the fact that I currently only access iTunes U via Apple ID in the desktop application, I am unable to do anything on our institution's site until such time as I can find a MAC from which to clear this notification.

We apologize to those of you that ran into the bug where the panel could not be dismissed. We have removed that panel and you should be able to login to your site using an Apple ID or transfer script as usual.

We currently have public content in our iTunes U site in which we use blackboard and the Plug-in from Vanderbilt to allow users to "login" with their credentials and modify only their welcome sites and not others.

Will anything like this be possible with Public Site Manager or will every administrator be able to change all public content?

Thanks

Jake

There's no PDF version.

The links in the table of contents on the left side have non-functioning links. "The webpage cannot be found."

Does anyone have an answer to this yet? We also use login credentials that limit access to a person's area only within the public content area of our iTunes U site.

Thanks!
