Q: Enroll button gone

Most of my courses are private. The enroll button is no longer at the bottom of the iTunesU catalog page. Where is it? Or if it is removed, now how do we enroll people with an enrollment code?

    From the overview page's dashboard, you can click the gear icon for a particular row and select "Enroll Code".

     

    Alternatively, Navigate into a course, select the Admin tab at the bottom, Enrollment in the left-hand sidebar, then click Get Link (or copy the presented code).

     

    Does that answer your question?

    See if the following helps:

    1. Turn on the iPad and open iTunes U app.
    2. Tap Library on the upper left hand corner on the iPad
    3. Tap  + sign.
    4. Tap Enroll in a Course.
    5. Type or paste your course enroll code.
    6. Tap Agree

    the + sign is missing - how do I get it back?

    Without screenshots or a better description, it's hard to know where you are starting from.

     

    If you do not see a "+" in the top-left and you are looking at the store pages (as noted by @qqwang):

    2. Tap Library on the upper left hand corner on the iPad

    The plus will appear next to Catalog.

     

    If it still doesn't appear, check the top right-hand side for your account information. Are you logged in with your Apple ID? If not, login, and the plus button should be reactivated.

     

    Does that help?

    Hi, Thanks so much for your response. My problem is that it's not my iPad but a colleague's, so I can't post a screenshot with an iPad. I can't say for sure whether or not he was logged in. (I am a teacher trying to create an iTunesU course that other teachers, all of whom have iPad minis, can access. My own iPad has the  + sign.)

     

    What I can post is a screenshot of my iPhone4S, which looks like it has the same problem, even though I am definitely logged in with my AppleID. Is it different for an iPhone? The courses automatically showed up because I added them using the same Apple ID on my iPad mini, but there's no + sign to do it directly from the iPhone.

    As I posted in another thread:

    The enroll button has apparently been moved in the iPhone version:

    • Tap Catalog in upper left
    • Tap Featured in lower right
    • Scroll to the bottom
    • Tap Enroll
    • Enter the enrollment code

     

    I guess Apple decided they could make enrollment less obvious on the iPhone because most invitations are emailed. /shrug

     

    Regarding your colleague's iPad, I suspect he was not logged in.

     

    Does these answers solve your issues?

    Yes, it does! Thanks so much for responding. I would never have found "Enroll" on the iPhone otherwise. I'll be able to check on the colleague on Monday -  hopefully your suspicion is correct!
