Apple iTunes download slow

I have 2 Apple tv boxes each connected to separate tv's by a hdmi cable , the boxes are connected to the computer by wifi , the computer is connected to a Time Machine which is then connected to a modem. Box #1 is upstairs and is about 14 feet away from the computer and has quick download speeds ( I can watch a movie within minutes).  Box #2 is downstairs and is almost underneath the computer ( by about 5ft) , the download speed for this box is very slow ( about 22 hours on average) , it does show a very good signal strength. Is there any reason why this is happening

What you describe is a network issue.  Troubleshoot the network.

  • ITunes downloads SLOW

    Rebooted, reinstalled iTunes, etc.  iTunes downloads are excruciatingly slow. Been downloading iPad IOS5 for hours now, still shows 8 hours remaining ~ for just 716MB download.  I have 20Mbit cable modem, everything else is flying fast download wise.  Just did a speed test and ran @ 17.93Mbp
    Anybody else having issues?  
    Thanks

    I'm going to post this in several threads.  I hate doing that so I apologize but I hope more people can see this as it very well may be the issue for many.
    Six months ago I had a very similar issue to the one I just started having in the past couple days.  My speed tests were great and I have a 10Mbit DSL connection.  Downloads from what appeared to be anywhere were great except from Apple. Apple said there was no problem.  My ISP said there was no problem.  I was very persistant with my ISP though and after a month of my ISP insisting there wasn't a problem or that the problem was me or Apple, they finally found a problem on what they called their DS3 going back to the Main Switch on my Line Group.
    So back to the past couple of days.  Same problem.  Today I contacted the person I was in talking with six months ago at my ISP to see if it's on their end.  They just got back to me that it was indeed their DS3 again.  My download speed from Apple is back to normal.  Very odd that I was only seeing an issue with Apple's servers though.

  • ITunes downloads SLOW. It is not my PC or my connection.

    iTunes is extremely slow. It connects to the store extremely slow and it downloads extremely slow. Right now, I'm downloading an album and it's taking over 15 minutes to download each 2.5MB file.
    I'm not connected through a router, and the only firewall I use is Windows firewall, which is configured for iTunes. I haven't changed a thing for a long time, and iTunes used to work perfectly and very fast. The problem seemed to start when I downloaded iTunes 7. Every song or movie I download crawls, and connecting to the store is slow.
    With this new version of iTunes, there is a diagnostic tool. Here is a snipped of info from it:
    Windows Firewall is on.
    iTunes is enabled in Windows Firewall.
    Connection attempt to Apple web site was unsuccessful.
    The network connection timed out.
    Connection attempt to iTunes Store was successful.
    Secure connection attempt to iTunes Store was successful.
    For some reason, the network connection times out to the Apple web site.
    All of the lights are green with the diagnostic tool as well.
    Any ideas? I'm so ****** right now. I bought an expensive iPod and now iTunes decides it doesn't want to work correctly anymore!

    OK here is the deal. I am having the problem too and so is everyone else using this same ISP. I talked to a tech from my service provider and he is having the same problem. He actually called and spoke to an apple technician, after he had ran a visual trace route and identified the problem coming from an APPLE owned router, and he gave the router number to the APPLE tech. The APPLE tech actually acknowledged the problem and said that apple is working to fix the issue as they are getting the same problem from other routers as well. So the breakdown is like this, IF you are getting routed through one of those problem routers then you will have the problem. Some ISPs from different areas go differnet routes and thus have no problem. Its not your ISPs fault it is the fault of APPLE. They are supposedly getting ready to do an upgrade on a bunch of their router, this from the APPLE tech. The biggest thing is, WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG! My belief is that even though it affects a very large group, it does not affect the majority and hence APPLE has not put a priority on it. Just a guess but probably the best guess. My suggestion, keep hounding your APPLE techs and don't let them tell you it's not them but your computer or connection or ISP. GOOD LUCK!!!

  • ITunes Download SLOW!

    My iTunes has the slowest downloads, I'm on a T1 line and movies still take longer to download than they do to watch???

    I am also having the same problem. All downloads from itunes (either rentals to stream on Appletv 2 or downloads made to the computer) are incredibly slow.
    I have been having this problem for about 2 weeks

  • Why is itunes download so slow on apple tv (3 days now) but I can download same movie to computer instantly? What has changed?

    I rented a movie via itunes on my apple tv 3 days ago. I still cannot view it on my television. I have checked all internet connections, routers, speedtests..etc and have come to the conclusion that it is simply the itunes download on apple tv. I can view netflix no problem on the same apple box.
    I now have downloaded the same movie to my computer and am watching almost instantly. What is happening here? I used to rent movies on itunes via apple tv and get almost instant streaming now it's incredibly slow!

    It doubful thats its your PC per se, alot of people are reporting the store being alittle on the slow side.
    It won't last long, its just apple make all these changes 3-4 days ago, a week or 2 they will have it all str8.
    You can overlook your network setup tho, make sure the connection isn't looping around thru ports on the router and slowing you down. I doubt thats it tho, iTUnes increased the resolution of there video, so in turn the files are bigger. This is why iTUnes now has a download manager in it so you can pause things when needed

  • Apple TV iTunes super slow downloads

    I've had my Apple TV for a couple years.  Never had a single problem.  I use it to stream movies & video from the iTunes store, Netflix, Hulu, Vimeo, etc.  I have a fast broadband connection and view everything in 720p HD.  It's always worked fine.  Instant rentals have been just that... instant.
    Just this week, downloads from the iTunes store slowed to a crawl, as if I had gone back to a dial up connection.  3 1/2 hrs. to download a 40 min. show.
    I restarted ATV several times.  Nothing.  I restarted my DSL modem and Airport Extreme.  I checked for firmware updates for the AE.  All up to date.  All in good working order.  No network speed problems on any of our Macs or devices in the house.  I downloaded content from Netflix, Hulu, etc. via ATV to check if it was a network problem.  Netflix and Hulu stream fine on the ATV, just as they have in the past.  Only iTunes content is giving me this problem.
    Anyone else have this problem?  Anyone have a solution?

    Netflix adapts to the connection so that wouldn't be a good way to judge.
    If you haven't, check your actual speed (www.speedtest.net)
    Try to rule out interference, if on wifi, by using istumbler.net
    Ensure you are using your ISPs DNS

  • Another Apple TV now slow to download movies from iTunes store.

    G'Day all there is a lot of conversation from people experiencing poor download speed when renting movies from the apple iTunes store using the Apple TV (ATV) interface but no solutions I can find yet so sorry to bring it up again. I have a Gen 2 ATV on wireless (Apple time capsule modem router) which worked very well up until several months ago but now can take hours to stream a SD movie when before it took minutes. However using the same ATV to view long uTube video's they seem to work fine ie play straight away yes they are smaller over all but still play straight up rather than initial buffer like the movies, the signal strength is high the updates are all done and I've also done resets I can download the same movie to my either of Mac's beside the ATV in minutes then stream it to the ATV and watch on on my TV without a problem and also do it from anywhere else in the house so dont think using a direct network cable will help to far anyway. I am in Australia and have a 12/1mbps fibre optic connection plan and speed tests to anywhere say the same. I am using and have always used the automatic DNS setting however some net topics say changing it may help others indicate dont.

    We also are attempting to download an iTunes (TV show in our case) and we also are not able to do so tonight.  We've done it a lot in times past and it normally takes seconds to a few minutes at most to be able to start playing the show/movie.  But something has been wrong the past couple days (we're still trying to learn what's going on) and we see messages like it's going to take 44 hours and 10 minutes before we can start playing.  Obviously, that's not useable.  My guess is iTunes is swamped or having some server issues here at the holidays???  We're also seeing some strange, sporadic network issues which we never have here at our home.  So that might be complicating the issue. 
    But the answer to your question is that under normal circumstances and without the system being overwhelmed, it will typically only take a few seconds to maybe a very few minutes before enough of the movie downloads so you can begin watching it.  And from that point, you will be able to watch all ther rest of it as it will continue to download while you watch the first part...

  • Why is the itunes download so slow

    why is the itunes download so slow - I am trying to download itunes update to recognize my new ipod touch 5th generation and my pc will not even show it in itunes, in trying to download the update the speeds are so slow that it is estimating download time in days.  I have stopped and started the apple in services, but it is still unrecognized.

    you know very well it has nothing to do with itunes or the modem/router.  apple servers are very very slow and its an absolute disgrace.
    you can download from third party servers at twice the speeds (at your own risk)
    Apple is the second largest company in the world and they treat customners in this way

  • Extremely Slow iTunes Downloads

    I'm trying to rent a movie from iTunes and the download speed is obviously not 8ookb/s (my cap.) It is more like 10kb/s, or something ridiculously slow. I opened my firewall and it looks like iTunes is "scanning" my ports...I know it's supposed to use 3689 or something.
    Every second iTunes opens up the next port and uses it for something.
    Any ideas?!?! I don't want to wait 2235982735 hours to download this movie.
    I've tried disabling my firewall and everything in my router looks fine...
    Edit: I'm using windows xp, that 7 look is just a theme.

    For the last 48 hours, on my iphone 3GS, it takes 100 times longer than before to download an app, or an iTunes song, both from WiFi as well as from 3G. Even downloading a preview of a song takes 2 minutes before the preview starts. This behavior started on 2/3. I even noticed that downloading apps from my Mac takes an inordinate amount of time and I have a DOCSIS 3 (100MB/sec) connection. iTunes is the only problem. I have no problem downloading from other Apple sites (e.g. trailers)so the problem is either in the iTunes download service or with their connectivity to my ISP (Cablevision). Pls help

  • ITunes downloads are painfully slow, and using the wrong servers

    For the past few months, iTunes downloads (from a PC) have been unbearably slow, with single 60-minute TV shows taking 3-6 hours to download.  Worse, Apple has decided that I live in the middle east, rather than Vermont.  According to Task Manager, itunes is connecting to 204.2.196.136 to download files, and that server is located in Iran.
    Before anyone asks, I am using my ISP's DNS provider, located in Vermont.  So this has nothing to do with that useless Google DNS service.  How do I forge iTunes to use the right providers in the United States?
    For what it's worth, no other programs have this problem. Speedtest reports a healthy 10-12 Mb/s, Steam downloads huge files quickly, and Apple TV streaming is fine.  As far as I can tell, only iTunes store downloads are affected (from any source, including my iPad 2.)

    In my case, I think it's a combination of my isp being incredibly slow (Optus in Melbourne) and iTunes apparently throttling the download speed.  A couple of days ago, my download speed measured on speedtest.net was 0.2 Mbps!!  After phoning Optus to complain, they reset the line and the speed bounced up to about 6 Mbps.  So in that case it was definitely my isp.  But now, even with the approx 6 Mbps download speed, my iTunes downloads are taking about 3 hours just to download one 40-something minute episode.  When I do a traceroute (start, cmd, tracert itunes.apple.com, enter) the iTunes server is located in Boston, US and I'm in Ballarat, Victoria, Oz.

  • Apple TV download suddenly super-slow

    Suddenly, after more than 3 years of virtually perfect and uninterrupted service, iTunes download on Apple TV seems to have become super-slow. WHY??
    I used always to be able to stream and watch movies, TV series episodes, etc. virtually instantaneously, with few if any delays. Nothing has changed with my home ISP (30Mb download) or WiFi setup, and I have tried 'master-resetting' everything including Apple TV with a power-down-up sequence several times. However for the past 2 or 3 nights trying to watch episodes of Vikings S2 I have faced interminable waiting with 'Loading' or 'Ready to watch in 4hrs 10 mins', etc. messages.
    Please help to resolve this issue soon - it really degrades the quality of service I previously enjoyed on Apple TV and iTunes.

    Thanks alex_h1.
    However I had already tried all the troubleshooting steps defined in the link you gave except explicitly verifying DNS and network settings, which I have now done. Regrettably there is no noticeable improvement in Apple TV interminable download times, whilst itunes still works perfectly speedily downloading to our devices such as iMac, Macbook and iPad.
    Any further thoughts or suggestions would be most gratefully received.
    BR, Tony

  • Apple TV download is really slow

    HI
    My Apple TV is slow in dowlnloading movies. This has been like this for the last 2 months. I use to be able to watch a movie almost instantaneously but now have to wait up to 1hr 30mins in most cases before I can start watching it. This occurs in both HD and SD although SD is a little quicker but is still really slow. Even then it pauses part way through to continue to download the movie. I have had my broadband connection speed checked and spoken to my broadband provider (Telstra Clear) with speed check achieving a download speed of 15mbps. I have Apple TV 2. Can anyone help before reverting back to DVDs from the video shop?

    The Apple TV itself is the bottleneck.  The problem is not bandwidth.
    My home theatre system uses Apple TV for most content.  I also use a MacMini for the few DVDs I have and for EyeTV television recording.
    Same as all the posts to this thread - performance slowed badly the last few months.
    However, I notice that if I download rentals and purchased movies through iTunes on the MacMini, it works as the Apple TV did before.  That is, start the download and wait a minute or so and then watch the movie end to end without interruption.
    Also, iTunes allows me to cache the full movie if I give myself a few minutes prior to the time I want to watch something.
    Not great.  But it works.

  • Problem with itunes update.  I am running OSX v 10.4.11 and can't get itunes to update.  I had itunes 9.1.1 and when I tried ask it to update it said there was no update. sent old itunes to trash and now apple site itunes download is not working.  help...

    From Apple website when I go to itunes update to 10.3 I am not seeing the left column to download itunes 10.3.  Does anyone else have this problem?  I tried yesterday as well.  Today, I threw my itunes 9.1.1 in the trash and emptied it... and then rebooted.  What am I doing wrong?

    What operating system are you running?  I doubt it's an iPhone OS on a Mac Mini, but if you meant to choose 10.4 then you're out of luck.  http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/  At the bottom of the left hand column on this page, you'll see it requires OS X 10.5 or higher.
