Apple today announced an all-new
iTunes U app, giving educators and students everything they need on their iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch to teach and take entire courses. The all-new iTunes U app lets teachers create and manage courses — including essential components such as lectures, assignments, books, quizzes, and syllabuses — and offer them to millions of iOS users around the world. The app also gives iOS users access to the world’s largest catalog of free educational content from top universities including Cambridge, Duke, Harvard, Oxford and Stanford. And starting today, any K-12 school district can offer full courses through the iTunes U app.

Right now, I’m up to the credit card step, using the Same email as I Used to create the one in the Apple store.
If there’s one thing iTunes is good at, it’s making a royal mess of your music library. Huge libraries are often crippled by multiple copies of the same albums or songs. There are two ways to deal with the clones.
If you have a small library, consider using iTunes’ duplicate finder, which is at least efficient at finding them. For libraries over 20 gigs or so, Rinse will be much faster.
The first is less precise, but it’s also free. From iTunes, go to File > Display Duplicates or hold Option and click Display Exact Duplicates. From there, you can delete duplicates from the list by holding Command and clicking the dupes to select them, then pressing Option-Delete to kick them out of your library. Unfortunately, the songs and artists are often intermingled with each other, which makes the process gruelingly slow if you’re dealing with large libraries.
Thankfully, third-party applications can make this dupe-nuking easier. If you’re not afraid to spend $40 on an iTunes utility, Rinse is an awesome tool that won’t just remove dupes but will also find missing cover art, correct genres, and fix misspellings. To use it, simply run the app and click Add Album Art, Find Duplicates, Fix Your Songs, or Organize Genres.
Apple Corps, EMI, and Apple today announced that the Beatles, the most influential and beloved rock band in history, is now available for the first time on the iTunes Store. Starting today, the group’s 13 legendary remastered studio albums are available for purchase and download on iTunes worldwide, either as albums or as individual songs. Said Steve Jobs, Apple’s CEO, “We love the Beatles and are honored and thrilled to welcome them to iTunes.” He added, “we are now realizing a dream we’ve had since we launched iTunes ten years ago.”
iTunes 10 features Ping, a new social network for music that lets you follow your favorite artists and friends to discover what music they’re talking about, listening to, and downloading. With Ping you can post your thoughts and opinions, your favorite albums and songs, and the music you’ve downloaded from iTunes — plus view concert listings and tell your friends which concerts you plan to attend.
In just over three years, iTunes U downloads have topped 300 million — making it one of the world’s most popular online educational catalogs. A dedicated area within the iTunes Store, iTunes U offers users public access to university courses, lab demonstrations, special lectures, and more from world class institutions such as Harvard, MIT, Cambridge, Oxford, University of Melbourne, and Université de Montréal.
This is part two of my iPad review series. In this video I cover four of Apple’s included apps: YouTube, iPod, iTunes and Maps You may notice in these videos that I don’t really concentrate on the cons of the iPad. Like my iPhone review videos, I prefer more of a walkthrough style. However, I’ll be taking questions for a future video series shortly. That is when I will point out my thoughts on the pros and cons, as well as anything else worth noting. But in the meantime, enjoy these videos. There’s plenty more to come!
