Directions for Uploading Video to iTunes U (Mac & PC)

1. Get started with the uploading process by first downloading and installing iTunes: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

2. Have your materials ready to post. Please note that only Quicktime (.mov) and MPEG-4 (.mp4) files are compatible with iTunes U. If you have another format, such as .avi, .mpg, etc., your video must be converted to Quicktime. Using Quicktime Pro ($30) is the easiest way to do this.

3. Log into iTunes U. using your network/email login info by going to http://itunes.philau.edu and clicking the “click here to launch iTunes U” link.

4. iTunes should automatically open on your computer. iTunes U will launch in the iTunes Store.

5. Select your program

6. Next, select your course

7. Once you are on your course page, choose “upload and manage files” from the right hand navigation menu. Note: you may not see any many options as pictured.

8. Clicking “upload and manage files” will launch your web browser and open the “Upload and Manage Files” page. Scroll down to the bottom of this page and click “Add New File.”

9, Click “Browse” and locate the video you wish to upload. Remember: only Quicktime videos will successfully upload.

10. Once you have chosen your video file, it will be added to the upload Queue. You will begin to see the upload progress in MB. Although iTunes accepts file sizes up to 500MB, it is important to note that these files may take VERY long to upload (especially if you are not on a broadband connection). It is highly recommended that your video is edited to a reasonable length and compressed to an acceptable video quality.
