Anyone else having slow movie downloads from Apple TV menu?

I have problems with slow downloading movies from Apple TV menu. I'm going on 2 hours for one movie.

I was having the same problem. Trailers took forever to play and movies took 7 hours. I unplugged my cable modem and WAP/router and plugged them back in. This reset solved the problem for me. Everything's back to fast downloads.

Anyone else having slow HD downloads?

The past few days my ATV has been taking 7-14 hours to download movies, when it used to take less than a minute to get it to start playing. I'm starting to regret not stopping by the video store yesterday...

Same thing here (Phoenix). Used to rent via ATV fairly often and the longest we had to wait before watching (HD) rentals was 5 minutes and 1-2 minutes was typical. It's probably been 5 or 6 weeks since we last rented something but I have noticed that HD movie trailers have taken a long time to buffer before playing off-and-on for the past few weeks but I thought it was just my connection or occasional slowness from the Apple side, assuming they'd prioritize bandwidth for things like rentals and purchases which might affect trailers.
Then last night (after our new baby went off to sleep early) we decided to rent a movie and it's initial estimate was 4 hours until it was "ready to watch" but that fairly quickly dropped to an hour. Decided to give it the benefit of the doubt and watch a half hour TV show and then see where it was and noticed that whenever we watched anything else (even already downloaded and synced to the ATV) the rental download would stop. The ATV is hard-wired and I have an ethernet switch where I can see it so I can easily tell when data is being transferred and it stopped within a few seconds of playing anything else and wouldn't start again on its own. Whenever we went back to the "Rented Movies" it showed the status as "Waiting to download" and I could restart it manually and it would keep, slowly, downloading so long as we didn't watch anything else on the ATV (though trailers didn't seem to affect it). By the time we went to bed 3 hours later the download was at only 51%. This morning it shows that the DL is complete, but who knows if we'll get around to watching it now.
We were really hoping to watch the movie, so I had also tried resetting the ATV, my router, and the modem just to be safe. I also ran a few tests and my internet connection could consistently maintain 15-20Mbps down and 3-4Mbps up (with actual downloads as well as with various speed test sites), so the problem definitely seems to be on the Apple side of things.
I seriously doubt that we'll rent anything else on ATV until we see that this problem has been acknowledged and addressed by Apple. Too bad, too, as we found the service to be very convenient even though it was a little pricey, but now the video store 3 miles away is once again a better value. :-/

TS2972 I have 46 movies downloaded from apple on my windows 7 PC I can only see 32 of them on my apple tv, I keep trying to share on my computer but they will not connect, any ideas?

I have 46 movies downloaded from apple on my windows 7 PC I can only see 32 of them on my apple tv, I keep trying to share on my computer but they will not connect, any ideas? Sometimes I can connect though computer and get all my movies but usually I can not connect though the network.

thank you Diesel vdub this helps but I just need to clarify - I understand about copying the intire folder ( cool thanks ) for the second part though, you are saying I can not do this if the 2nd computer does not have internet access? ( which you seem to be saying - bother! )
many thanks

Anyone else having slow download speeds ?

i am having slow download speeds ever since the apple keynote... is this the new data center speeds?... is this what we should expect from now on?

disappointing, as i liked the service from them...

Anyone else having slow wifi dl speeds from new ipad?

My download speeds on my iphone 4 on wifi are way faster than on my new ipad. Same wifi network, both devices are next to each other. On the iphone 4 download test i get around 1.15Mbps. On my new ipad, .56Mps. Something doesnt seem right and wanted to know if anyone else has experienced this slow wifi issue?

Anyone else notice slower network performance since Apple TV 3 update?

Ever since I updated the ATV to the 3 software, my download and "ready to play" times have increased dramatically. Several of the rented HD movies also stalled during playback, something that never happened with the Take 2 software. Noticing no network problems with other connected devices. I connect via Qwest DSL 8Mbit service via an Apple Airport dual band N router (late 2008). Anyone else see this slowdown?
Steve in Spokane

I'm running:
- Mac Mini running iTunes sharing a library with my AppleTV
- AppleTV running 3.0.1
- Time Capsule running the wireless network
Since the last update I've been having significant streaming problems between my iTunes library and the AppleTV. Streaming video was stopping every minute or two, downloading from iTunes Store was very slow, and even basic music streaming was stuttering regularly.
Looking at my Airport Utility client connectivity graph, I noticed that the AppleTV connection was plotting a significantly different line to my other wireless clients on the Time Capsule. Sorry, I'm not a Wireless expert, so won't try to diagnose this graph.
So I tried different wireless channels. I tried removing wireless clients. I tried rebooting all individual components. Nothing changed.
So I plugged in my Airport Express and swapped my AppleTV to a wired connection to the Airport Express operating as a wireless client in a WDS network from my Time Capsule.
Everything now works just fine. No stuttering, not dropouts, fast speeds.
My suggestion is that in the latest software for AppleTV, Apple have broken the Wireless code.

Anyone else having trouble deleting artists from Music in iOS6?

The 'slide to delete' function is seemingly buggy in the updated Music app from iOS6, some artists with longer names are harder to delete, others randomly don't respond. Anyone else?

Same here in SC. Also a Road Runner customer. Been working fine until Friday, the 20th. I was getting the broken links and really slow, but today (22nd) I can't even access it. I'm getting the network connection errors also. If I manually check for updates it comes back immediately that I'm running the current version, so I know the application can access the net. Then tried the store again and got the slow broken links home page again.

Very SLOW movie downloads from iTunes Store

I posted this in a different thread, but saw it was already answered. Thought I would post a new thread.
Downloaded and installed 9.0.1. Still having EXTREMELY SLOW download speeds on any movie downloads. I am downloading "Troy" and at this time it will take 18,000 hours to download. Something definitely is not right.
Songs download at their normal speeds. Movies take literally forever.
So 9.0.1 did not correct the problem.

I usually test around 5 as well, but sure enough I noticed a HUGE slowdown in my internet speed after an evening of downloading rentals last week. The slow speed (less than 1.5!) continued on after that and it took a tech support call to my ISP to get it "fixed".
My guess - Qwest is "throttling" video-intensive internet use. Torrent or not.
I believe Qwest automatically throttles any encrypted downloads but I don't know if AppleTV downloads are encrypted?
My speed is back up around 5 again, and I will keep a close eye on it next time I rent.

Anyone else having issues when streaming from veetle using safari over wifi?

I like many others have been having issues with my wifi on my iPhone 5 (sometimes when connected to wifi it just freezes up and I need to do a reboot or reset network settings to get it back up and running). In any case, that wasn't bothering me too much but I've noticed now that the veetle web site that I use sometimes to stream shows from on my iPhone stops showing video after a few seconds when using wifi. If i switch to my LTE connection or 3G it works fine but it's only when running with wifi that it has a problem. It will begin to stream a show properly then after a few seconds the video will cut out though the sound keeps playing. My iPad doesn't exhibit the same problems and can stream from veetle perfectly over my wifi. Anyone else out there having similar issues? This will be annoying if i'm travelling out the country and depending solely on wifi for my data and not being able to stream sports and tv shows from Veetle. Just wanted to see how commonplace this problem was. Thanks

All spring and summer Netflix/fios has been a problem. I have used a tool that goes beyond simple speed tests and gets to dividing up thE problem. It appears that the problems reside with fios, however true to form Verizon repair denies any problem (go figure) .

Is anyone else having problems with books from Lulu?

I am working on a Mac and recently downloaded Adobe Digital Editions. I have a book from Google and a free book from Adobe, both are fine. But I recently purchased two books from Lulu, an ePub for Digital Editions and a PDF for Digital Editions. When I try to download them I receive the .acsm file, but when I click on it, I get an error message in ADE of:
Error getting license
Server communication problem: E_ADEPT_IO
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the software. I tried the chat support but was not able to fix my problem. The attempted solutions were to check my clock settings (automatic and correct), download Google Chrome (ugh, my third browser, really?) and then turn off the firewall and ensure the proxy settings are set to bypass for http://adeactivate.adobe.com/. Still not successful. I keep getting the same error message. Has anyone else successfully fixed this error? Haha, old school books are looking better and better right now.

Stuck in the software time warp, eh?
First, the error message isn't described very well - and shame on Adobe for
that. If I understand it correctly, it's telling you that you can't
establish a connection with your ebook source because of security issues.
Monkeying around with ADE software isn't going to help at all, as you've
found out. Cross your fingers that something inside ADE hasn't gone awry
with all of the installs you've done.
You're in a MAC world, and I'm still a Windows guy, so I can speak only
generically about what's going on. No - you don't need a new browser.
It's probably not a clock issue either, because that's a different cryptic
error message. So, we're back to the security settings. Something isn't
right - but not being a MAC guy, I don't know what knobs to tweak.

Anyone else have their movies deleted from their computer?

Somewhere between now and last week, my computer had suddenly deleted movies I downloaded/transfered to my iTunes. Most of the movies were Digital Copies from purchased Blu-Rays. I searched my entire computer looking for each individual movie, but came with nothing. I tried checking to see if iTunes would let me redownload movies, but movies is the only thing that doesn't seem to be redownloaded. I'm worried; because 26 of my movies have suddenly disappeared from my computer and there's nothing I can do to bring them back. I purchased my MacBook Pro around May and the movies worked just fine ever since. Is there anything anyone can do to help me bring these missing movies back??

Get them from the backup copy on your backup drive.

Anyone else having a problem downloading 10.7.3?

I have tried to download this update via Software Update and also directly from the Lion support page. Each time I get an invalid checksum error. The computer is 2X3 Hz Dual Core Intel Xeon.
Download worked fine on my MacBook Air using the same network.
Thanks,
Dan

yeah, I am having a lot of problems. see my thread:

Any ideas? Thanks!

Has anyone else gotten an email supposedly from Apple saying you had missing data and to update? I went to update, gave some info only to see they wanted my credit card info and money. How do I report this and to whom. Impossible to contact Apple.

Has anyone gotten an email saying your system was missing data and to update? I went to update, gave my email and password just to find it wasn't really Apple
but, wanted my credit card and money. Did not follow up. Where and how do I report this to Apple. Seems impossible to contact them.

Forward it to [email protected] and then delete it.

Anyone else having slow or dropped connections in ARD admin 3.2 & Leopard?

Installed Leopard on my MBP Intel Core Duo 2.0, as an update not an A&I,
and I've had funny things happen with ARD 3.2 since. I can launch ARD,
and have it scan for my list of computers, but it seems to take either
a long time to scan, or spins and never finds the computer listing.
IF I Force Quit ARD 3.2, then re-launch, it then scrolls and starts populating
my lists, but then tells me access denied on several computers,
and others that it does find, it tells me they are are valid to connect, but
double clicking to connect causes the error " Failed to Connect to Computer XXXXXX".
Force Quitting again, and then relaunching ARD may bring full functionality
back, or may not, causing me to re-boot the whole MBP, which then seems
to fix the issue, until I quit ARD or the MBP goes to sleep.
Then, the nightmare happens again.
I'm thinking at this point an A&I of Leopard would fix the issue, but to be sure
any other thoughts?

I am having the same problems on a brand new Macbookpro. Installed and update ARD and the scanning is real slow and only populates a couple random computers and then finnishes.
