Why does apple tv take hours to record

Why does Apple TV take hours to record movies?

Not sure what you mean by 'record movies'
If you are trying to rent a movie and it's taking a long time before it starts then that is due to your connection.
720P requires 6mbps for instant streaming
1080P requires 8mbps
You can switch to SD in the settings
To check your connection go to speedtest.net

  • Why does Apple.tv take hours to download a movie rented through iTunes

    I have rented a movie from ITunes and have changed the video resolution in iTunes Store to 720p HD but taking over 5 hours to download.  Is this normal as I am finding it very frustrating?  I have a Telstra Bigpond ADSL wireless connection.

    That would be dependent on your network
    What is the current connection via speedtest.net
    Make sure DNS is set to auto (settings - general - network)
    Try ethernet

  • Why does finishing syncing take hours?

    I just got an ipod touch 5 today and I am trying to set it up. I transferred my songs and now it just says finishing sync. It's been doing this for an hour or so and doesn't seem to actually be doing anything. Is finishing syncing supposed to take this long? This is my second go at this because on the first take not all my songs seem to load properly. I just got the ipod today so I shouldn't have to reset it. I am on a newish pc that runs windows 7.
    My old Ipod was a regualer ipod video 5 not a touch and it synced  fine.

    If it doesn't finish sync within a minute, hit the Sync button again.

  • Why does iPhone videos take so long to come up on the Apple TV?

    Why does iphone videos take so long to come up on the apple tv?
    1080P has a large file size but are there ways to get it to start to play faster?
    Hard wiring it into the LAN helped a bit but what is really slowing it down? WPA2?
    Thanks,

    could be the wifi speed as in 56Mbit vs. newer 300Mbit version
    or interfearing from other wifi networks which use the same channel
    or microwave or dect phones which also operate on the 2.4Ghz band

  • Why does camera roll take up all my storage data and how do i get it free for space

    why does camera roll take up all my storage data and how do i get it free for space

    You might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    You might then need to log out of your account on any iOS devices that you have  by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store (Settings > Store on iOS 5 and below) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on them
    If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • Why does apple not remove the malware Genieo

    Why does apple not remove the malware Genieo - it takes over the Safari browser even with extensions turned off - firefox works fine but the malware is still alive and kicking on my mac.  Should I just uninstall safari and hope the malware is not doing more damage in the background?

    Hi Sickof --
    Apple has never had anything to do with Genio.  It is sneakily installed with other apps you think would be helpful. It is very sickening, IMHO. 
    Here's a thread here -- It's long, I know, but it's got great information for you.

    Keep reading.  It's worth it.

  • Why does App store take me to a different country store, yet does not return me back

    Why does App store take me to a different country store, yet does not return me back.
    Im in u.s., was searching for app, was asked to change store, i did, tried downloading canadian app, was informed i had to purchase from u.s. store (is this true, even though it is a free download) then it left me there without instructions on how to return to u.s. store.
    Now ipad is stuck in canadian store. How do i return to u.s. store?

    You have to find an app that is only available in the US store.
    If the problem is on an iPad, etc:
    Go to a search engine (like google) on the iPad/iPhone Safari and type in abc app download. Then find find a link that says iTunes.apple.com/us/app/abc-player. Tap it, and it will access the App Store. Eventually, a box should pop up that asks you if you want to switch to the US store. Confirm that, and it should bring you back to the US store. You don't need to download the abc app.
    If on a computer:
    I haven't confirmed it yet, but I believe there is a flag icon at the bottom of the iTunes Store main page similar to the one at the bottom of this page that you can use to change your country.

  • When does Apple will take unlocking for Mexico (Telcel) iPhones seriously? Because That carrier give thousands of evasive responses to people that ask for an unlocking service after their contracts are done...

    When does Apple will take unlocking for Mexico (Telcel) iPhones seriously? Because That carrier give thousands of evasive responses to people that ask for an unlocking service after their contracts are done...

    This is the best invention to make people buy new devices. Why am I asking this to Apple???? Maybe I´m wrong and I have to ask to Microsoft or maybe Google? There is a law that obligates all carrier companies to unlock those devices that are off contract. But even with this, this company denies to do it. They suppor their idea in the fact that that law was published on Oct´12, so brilliantly they have solved to unluck only those devices bought after that date..... I have all those evidences but all are in spanish.....

  • Why does apple allow apps in the App Store hijack your Internet when certain websites? Why doesn't apple remove their products from the App Store?.

    Why does apple allow apps in the App Store hijack your Internet when certain websites? Why doesn't apple remove their products from the App Store?.

    Apple saw it as their responsibility since the redirection took me to the App Store. They assisted me in stopping the redirection which is occurring on many peoples iPhones. It's a have java script problem that adking is using to get you to buy their games. The websites work normal and then all of the sudden the website is taken over by adking.com.  You can no longer use the website as it immediately takes you to the App Store without ever showing a popup to cancel the redirection. They were very helpful fixing the problem should others experiencing this specifically with adking.com.
    No need to get defensive. I'm not the only one experiencing the problem Apple said.

  • Why does apple not allow 3D

    A statement from the Smithsonian: "....iPad. Although these devices technically fully support 3D graphics in the web browser, due to a restriction of Apple it is not currently possible to use the Smithsonian X 3D explorer on iOS devices." Why does Apple not allow Smithsonian X 3D to run on MAC iOS devices? It runs on other OS such as Android etc.

    John,
    If you know so little about the topic why even respond? Just to take sides? How do you even know your on the right side? Because you bought an iDevice and must obey your master?
    Firstly 63% of video on the web is not HTML5. There is no such thing as HTML5 video.
    HTML has a new tag called <video></video>. This tag allows the playback of videos converted to a specific codec. In safari it is h.264, in chrome it is VP8, in firefox it is OGG.
    Each browser can only handle their codec, so a video that runs in the enw <video> tag in safari will not run in chrome or firefox unless another video is also present that has been converted to the correct format.
    Adobe Flash can play all of them, or any one of them in any browser. Or you can just use .flv and have only one video that plays everywhere.
    As such Adobe Flash plays back h.264 video, and has been doing so way before anyone heard of HTML5. Most hardware today has built in support for this codec as well, making it the best performig codec to be used for video.
    With or without HTML5, h.264 is and has been becoming the "standard" codec for all video.
    So to say 63% of video is HTML5 is a half truth. If you only cinsider safari then yes, 63% of the videos that flash plays can also be played in safari. However that same 63% can not be seen by anyone else as they require a different codec.
    This says that h.264 is the dominant codec, because 63% of all video uses it. However you still need to support the other 37% of video which is not h.264, and you still need to support the other 63% of video for those who dont use safari.
    The best option to bring all this together is Flash. It's the one stop shop for all video across all screens.
    And Flash out performs HTML5 players 10 to 1 on every product on the planet except Apples.... where it somehow becomes a huge resource hog.... but then that may have something to do with Apple not wanting any media consumption to come from anywhere than their pocket.
