Tips and Tricks
PC
Recommended browser is Firefox.
If iTunes does not accept your username (with the ufad\ prefix) and password, use Firefox to download the video lectures. Go to the RSS or Download tab and choose your class. From there, you should see the podcast listed out. Download the videos by right-clicking each .mp4 or .wmv link and saving it to your PC.
Mac
Recommended browser is Safari.
Streaming is NOT Mac compatible.
If iTunes does not accept your username (with the ufad\ prefix) and password, use Safari (not Firefox or Chrome) to download the video lectures. Go to the RSS tab and choose your class. From there, you should see the podcast listed out. Download the videos by control-clicking each .mp4 link and saving it to your Mac. Safari may try to open the RSS feed in Mac Mail. If this occurs, go to the podcast in your Mac Mail and control-click the link for the attachment in each video lecture post and save the file to your Mac before trying to watch it.
