App Store Download Speed became Slower

I am not sure what is wrong with the App Store now. It is taking longer than usual to download apps/games. It used to take 30-45 secs to download an app. However, it is now taking 15-20 mins, which is quite irritating when you needing the app almost immediately.
Since I'm living in Asia, during the day as other parts of the world are sleeping, the download speed became fast or moderate. When it is night time here and it's day time in some parts of the world, the speed became slower or moderate.
I wonder if any of you are having the same problem and the situation occured to you.

I don't see the problem. 2 hours only to wait?

  • Mac App Store download speed very slow...

    I have been trying to download the App Store updates OS X Update 10.10.3 and OS X Yosemite Recovery Update to my iMac for the past several days.  When opening the Mac App Store, I click on updates and they appear.  However, when I select 'download' my download speed slows to the point of less than 1 MB per minute.
    I seem to remember this happening when Yosemite was first released, but after a few days, I had no problem downloading Yosemite from the App Store.
    This only occurs when trying to download from the Mac App Store.  When I download iOS App updates to iTunes I do not have the same problem so it seems to be only affecting the Mac App Store.
    My internet speed is fine.  I can download fine from other websites, just not the Mac App Store. 
    After searching online, I found one solution that looked promising:
    Finder->Applications->Utilities->Keychain Access->Preferences->Certificates->Certificate Revocation List- Changed from Best attempt to OFF.
    Unfortunately for me this had no effect so I changed the setting back.
    I then looked for a way I could download the files from outside the Mac App Store & found this:
       Apple - Support - Downloads
    When downloading from Apple Support downloads page, my downloads were very fast.  The Yosemite 2 GB Combo update took about 15 minutes, a far cry from the App Store which would have taken hours. 
    Is there some setting I need to change to increase the download speed from the Mac App Store or is it just overloaded servers?  Why then can I download the files from the support page and not run into the same slow speeds?  Updating iTunes was also giving me very slow download speeds, so again, I went to the Apple Support Downloads & clicked the link to download the latest version of iTunes.  The file downloaded in about a minute.
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Apple servers are overloaded. Instead of using App Store, use safari to download the updates manually from apple websites.
    Here's a link for OS X 10.10.2 Combo Update.
    OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 Combo Update
    I had the same issue and downloaded manually from this link. It took me about 30-40 minutes. I'm using a 5mb connection. Your 40mb connection should be faster.
    As for the iOS updates, you will have to download them from your iOS devices, because there are no standalone updates for iOS. Alternatively after you update your Mac, use iTunes to download iOS updates by connecting your iOS devices with your Mac. That should be faster than downloading through your iOS devices.

  • App store download speed

    I'm downloading a game from the App Store. It's a little over 7GB. It's downloading really slow. At first I thought it was my ISP. I checked through speedtest.net and I was getting 12MB/sec and the Activity Monitor is receiving data at 1.5MB/sec. I'm only downloading one app. 2 hours to go so far. Can anyone help?

    I don't see the problem. 2 hours only to wait?

  • My Apple ID don't sign in sometimes, and my app store download speed is very low

    I recently upgraded my iOS to 7.0.4 and I am trying to download app from appstore. I had no problem in first 2-3 days but then my download speed decreased and I couldn't sign in properly to my apple ID. Now its all off and I cant sign in anymore.
    I have no problem when I use my PC to sign in to Apple ID but I can not sign in through my IPAD 2.

    Ok let me summazite my case :
    In Office via wifi or enernet
    1. My account failed to login
    2. The other family account no issue
    In Office via hotspot from my iPhone using 3G
    1. all accounts are working
    At Home either wifi or 3G - No issue at all
    I called Apple in Hong Kong, they said there are many users reporting the same problem, and they are investigating. Suggested me to reset the router and changing password, both do not solve .

  • How does one save App Store downloads to a flash drive?

    I live in South Africa, where Internet access is expensive/slow compared to the rest of the world.
    For this reason, I would like to backup my App Store downloads so I can do a clean install every few years.
    I've downloaded GarageBand which has been saved in my applications folder.
    I have not run the installer yet.
    In applications, the file GarageBand.app has been created.
    If I right click on the file, I can copy it, but right clicking again doesn't give me a paste option.
    Any idea how to save this file to a flash drive?
    I'm running Mavericks

    There is no digital rights management scheme used in the Mac App Store aside from the fact that all apps/games are coded with the user's Apple ID and the Mac on which one wishes to use an app/game must be authorized to use that Apple ID's content.
    The only difference in this case is that my thumb drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled) because it is my bootable USB installer for Mavericks. But as you can see it works fine.

  • IPhone app store downloading problem

    I have iPhone app store downloading problem (iOS 5). I could not download or update any software successfully from yesterday. Every app shows "waiting for download" but nothing happen for two days. It seems my app store does not connect to server. I use same account in my iPad, but it works normal. So, what happen to my iPhone? Please help me!

    Hold the home button and lock button for 10 seconds to reboot the iPhone.

  • When I go to update my software using the app store download, it always asks for the previous user's ID, not mine.  Please help!

    When I go to update my software using the app store download, it always asks for the previous user's ID, not mine (my IT guy at school's-I am a faculty with admin priviledges).  I have signed in as me, have set the main preferences login user as me,and everywhere on the laptop I can use my apple ID except here.  It always shows me a greyed out ID of my IT.  How can I reset this to my ID? It doesn't give me an option to change the user ID, only a link to reset password.  I reset it, but it did not change the problem.  Can someone help me?

    It's not an ID problem, it's an ownership problem.
    When someone uses their personal Apple ID to buy and download content, the content is licensed to them and has their Apple ID engrained in it's DNA. It is an anti-piracy program. And when that personal Apple ID is used to setup a new Mac, it involves the Mac itself, the shipping OS and any pre-installed apps as well.
    It's not the correct way to handle Macs that belong to a business or an institution. And had it been handled correctly they would not now be in this predictument needing a drastic remedy.

  • Download speed will slow to nothing. Must continually manually pause and resume to force the connection to the download to complete. How to fix?

    Have recently tried to download multiple files from multiple locations. These files will show up as downloading in the download manager. After 5-10 seconds, the download will slow to a crawl. In the window for the download manager, it will state that the download still has a download speed. When reviewing the time and progress, as well as monitoring my actual inbound/outbound internet traffic, I can conclude the download does not have any actual download speed remaining (that is, 0 kilobytes/sec).
    To complete the download, I must manually click on the file being downloaded, force it to pause and then force it to resume. This will cause the download to actually download again for about 5-10 seconds before the download manager states that the download speed is slowing down (when in fact it goes back to 0 kilobytes/sec). This process must be repeated until the file is fully downloaded.
    Also observed is that there will suddenly be more of a connection, downloading just a bit of the file, before going back to 0 kbps. This will happen every so often and is much slower than manually pausing/resuming. If left to its own devices for long, it also has a chance that it will decide that the file is complete and report that it has the full file size of the download. Review of the actual downloaded file shows that the file is incomplete for the supposed size of the download.
    This should not be an issue with internet usage. There is no inbound/outbound traffic for my connection when the download speeds hit 0kbps. Loading webpages during this time load fine, only the download is unstable.

    Problem Solved!!! :) No need Of Any AntiVirus !
    Got back into '''Firefox 5.0.1''' !!
    Its Working Great!

  • Where does iCloud app store downloaded attachments on iOS device?

    I am wondering where iCloud app store downloaded attachments? I downloaded a rather large PDF for viewing and would like to get rid of it. Thank you.

    Dahveed
    Got it. So the Lion installer will be in my apps folder? the reason I'm asking is because I want to be able to create a bootable DVD so I can do a clean install. I have the instructs per OSX Daily. The instructs were from Apple devs on how to make a bootable DVD as they were doing with the pre-GM's. Thanks!

  • IMac Mavericks App Store Download Recycle on Lock Screen?

    Hello.
    I've been searching for as precise a description of my issue as I could find, but haven't found it. So, I'm putting it here for commiseration and, mostly, help.
    Brand new iMac, running Mavericks. In the App Store, clicked "Purchases." Started to download (via Wifi) what's needed. One or two of the smaller apps downloaded fine, but the larger ones (e.g. GarageBand, Keynote, and Final Cut Pro) kept "recyling," by which I mean, they would get a quarter or a third of the way done, then go right back to zero. AppleCare seemed to help by saying "It's really just downloading the larger applications in packets, so it's probably just going back to get the next packet and, when it does, it goes back to zero."). After doing a few things they suggested, it seemed to work a bit better, but that was not, in fact, the case.
    This  morning, our Administrator (it's a corporate machine) went around our security by connecting my hard-wired to ethernet. The next larger app or two downloaded fine, but when I got to Final Cut, the same problem, again. Thinking the download may be recycling (going back to zero) on (or just before) lock screen, I disabled the lock screen password protection. Final Cut Pro is now about to finally finish downloading, all at once. There were no "recycling to get packets" or any other interruption of the process.
    Question:
    Will app store downloads be interrupted when the computer goes to lock screen? This seems to be the case. If this is, in fact, true, what can I do to fix this? I'd prefer not to have to disable the lock screen each time I wish to download a large file. Seems kind of bogus, no?
    Also, FYI, bluetooth is off.

  • Are App Store Downloads Disk Images?

    Pardon the ignorance but I have never used the App Store.
    I assumed that the apps you downloaded would be in the form of disk images (.dmg) but something I read recently suggested that this wasn't the case and the apps were simply downloaded and automatically installed on your computer rather like Software Updates in Leopard and SL.
    If this is the case, it appears that if your computer is erased or replaced, the app will need downloading again, which I assume will be easy (and free!) as the App Store should have the record of the original sale.
    Is that correct?
    However, you are usually allowed to have one copy on a desktop and another on a laptop. How does one go about that?
    If the app is a simple self-contained one it should be easy enough to drag and drop it to the second computer, but that won't work with more complex apps that use various "hidden" files or folders.
    I have always made backup hard copies (DVDs) of all my apps for obvious security reasons and it appears that this will no longer be possible . . . . or will it?
    Software Updates can be copied by whipping them out of the Updates folder before they have a chance to be intalled (and the installer deleted).
    Can a similar technique be used with App Store downloads . . . . . . . . or is that something I shouldn't be asking?

    Hi,
    If you need to re download an app follow the instructions here.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
    You can download the same app to multiple Macs without extra charge.
    Updates for apps you download from the MAS will be available in the top of the MAS window, not from Software Update. Reason being, they are from third party developers, not Apple.
    Always a good idea to backup any apps you install from the MAS to an external source for easy reinstall in case you need to reformat the drive they are stored on.
