Apple TV 3 slow to download from iCloud and connected computer.

Apple TV 3 slow to download from iCloud and connected computer. Wired via ethernet with very fast upload and download speeds. Can anyone help please? Accessing YouTube is even incredibly slow. Have reset, no joy. Have changed DNS to Google DNS, no joy.

Resolved!  Disabled BT Home Hub as wireless. Removed Devolo wireless plugs from house. Removed TP link powerline adapters (Apple TV was connected to ethernet). Set Time Capsule as the only wireless point in the house. Interestingly, if you have more than 1 access point in the house, BT Home Hub can get a little confused - so removing its wireless capability via the admin function via advanced settings basically set Time Capsule as only access point in the house). Changed DNS on Windows 7 machine to Open DNS.....(FYI, outside of US & Canada, Google DNS is pretty much useless and won't speed up your download speeds on Apple TV).  Restored Apple TV to factory settings and started again. Downloads from iCloud almost instant; downloads from shared computer almost instant; streaming from YouTube and Netflix almost instant. Happy days....

  • What is going on with Apple? I've just downloaded their Mavericks and my computer is performing so badly, I'm wondering if Mavericks is some sort of diabolical malware! How can I get Mavericks out of my computer?

    What is your year and specs of your Mac Pro?
    How much RAM installed?
    How full is your Mac's hard drive?
    Do you run any antivirus software on your Mac? Antivirus software can slow down the normal operation of OS X and have negative effects on system performance.
    Do you have apps like MacKeeper or any other maintenance apps like CleanMyMac 1 or 2, TuneUpMyMac or anything like these apps, installed on your Mac?
    These types of apps, while they appear to be helpful, can do too good a job of data "cleanup" causing the potential to do serious data corruption or data deletion and render a perfectly running OS completely dead and useless leaving you with a frozen, non-functional Mac.
    Plus, these type of apps aren't really necessary.
    They really aren't.
    There are manual methods to clear off unnecessary data off of your Mac that are safer and you have complete control over your Mac and not just leave a piece of auto cleaning software in charge of clearing off data off of your Mac.
    These apps potential of causing OS X issues outweighs the implied good and benefits these types of hard drive or memory "cleaning" apps are written to do.
    Plus, the software company's that write these apps make it hard to easily uninstall these apps if something DOES go wrong and these apps work in a way where you have no recovery or revert function to return your Mac back to its former, working state in the event something does go wrong.
    It is best to never download and install these types of apps.
    The risk to your system and data is too great a risk!

  • Pages documents very slow to download from icloud

    Purchased a new MacBook Pro. Now some Pages documents have stalled downloading from iCloud.
    How do I restart the downloads?

  • Why is my Apple tv (very) Slow at downloading from my iTunes account (homesharing)

    Why is both my apple Tv's (very) slow at downloading (buffer) from my iTunes account on my hard drive (home sharing)

    You didn't clarify where you were accessing the content from computers icon or one of the other icons (using the cloud)
    It's a coincidence. Verify interference using istumbler and try Ethernet
    If you're using the cloud there are other things to look at

  • Hello, i purchased the movie Changeling and its shows in Itunes library but will not transfer to my Ipod. It has the Icloud icon showing in the top right hand corner and if i click on play it starts to download from Icloud again and it does this each time

    hello i purchased a movie recently and it shows in my Itunes library but will not transfer to my ipod. It has the Icloud icon in the top right hand corner of the cover and if i click on play it starts to download from Icloud again and it does this each time i wish to play it, the same now happens to all my purcased movies which of course uses additional ISP download allowance. Before the recent update and lay out of Itunes this didn't happen i just purchased a movie and downloaded it then synced it to my ipod and enjoyed it. But now this latest movie purchase will not download to my ipod. I have sent the problem to Itumes and if  there is answer i havent received it. Appreciate any advice
    regards john

    Hello hotsone,
    You may need to download a lower resolution version of the movie in order for it to sync to your iPod.

  • HT204406 I download a song & then I try to drag it into a playlist & I get a warning "iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library. If you continue, my iPod will be removed from iCloud and will only be available on this computer.

    I'm sorry to see that no one has answered this. I'm hoping Apple with reply to my support request, as I'm having the same issue. I really don't want to continue with iCloud at this point.

  • Very slow video downloading from iTunes

    I have a FIOS 75Mbit connection (and get can 75Mbit on my N-router and Macbook Pro's WIFI).  But my new 1080p Apple TV is another matter. Two minute trailers take longer than 2 minutes to download. Half hour HD TV shows can take 90 minutes to download! And if I try to watch a movie I rented, Apple TV tells me it'll be ready to watch in "about 5 hours".
    So my immediate reaction is ***. Any ideas why my wireless performance is so great with my MBP and so terrible with my AppleTV (just 10 feet away)

    I stumbled across this thread looking for help with the same issue...slow to very slow movie downloads from iTunes.
    Changing the DNS, both on my iMac as well as my Airport Extreme router helped.
    I'm on Comcast and generally get around 33Mbps downloads via speedtest.net.  Based on several Namebench tests Google's Public DNS (8.8.8.8) has always been on top and I've always configured my router and Macs using the top 3 Namebench recommendations with Google at #1 position.  However while downloading movies from iTunes Activity Monitor showed very sharp "Data received/sec" rises and falls...anywhere from 4.40MB/sec to 100KB/sec or sometimes zero.  Most of the time it would start off well, but trail off to very poor and sporatic speeds after about 30 seconds.
    Per finaleMile's and other's recommendations elsewhere I removed Google Public DNS from the settings on my router and iMac and things improved with respect to stability.  Although the "top speed" of about 4.40Mbps didn't improve, downloads did smooth out and remain between about 2.30Mbps to 4.10Mbps during the entire download.  Not speedy but a marked improvement in stability and overall download time.
    Thanks for the tip!
    BTW, I've found that during regular web surfing, using Google's Public DNS is faster so I re-add it after downloading movies from iTunes.  It's a bit of a PIA, but worth it.  Wish there were a better option though.
    FWIW I tend to download rented and purchased movies to iTunes on my iMac and then play them back via my Apple TV3 rather than "stream" them directly from iTunes.  That way if there are external network problems they won't have a negative impact on our viewing experience.

  • Downloaded from iCloud to new iPhone 6.  Says it's still downloading, but I know it's done.  Cannot update software.

    New iPhone 6 downloaded from iCloud finished.  Why can't I update software?

    Software updates don't come from iCloud, they come from Apple servers. How are you trying to update?

  • So I can't download songs from my account because I now live in Mexico? How do I get my music from Icloud and down load new ones? Do I have to fly to the USA ?

    Hi gene98,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you still need to change the country for your iTunes Store account. Please review the attached article for information and instruction on how to do so.

  • I setup a new iPad air and did a restore from iCloud and only part of my camera roll downloaded?

    I setup a new iPad air and did a restore from iCloud and only part of my camera roll downloaded?

    Welcome to the Apple Community Xena1940.
    When you restore from back up, the process will restore the OS and some initial data, it will then restart and allow you to use your device while the remaining data is downloaded and restored in the background. have you allowed enough time for this to complete.

  • Why do some songs re-download from iCloud in 256 Variable?

    Some songs will download from iCloud in 256-bit, others in 256 Variable. Why that? All were uploaded/matched from Apple Lossless (ALAC).

    I don't know this for sure, since I have not seen this behavior, but this is my speculation.
    Songs that are matched will download from the iTunes Store in straight 256 Kbps, since that is how they are encoded. The VBR downloads are probably coming from tracks that are uploaded, and this is how you've got your import settings set up. Any ALAC files that are not matched will have a copy made of them and that will be uploaded so I'm guessing that whatever your import settings are is how the files will be encoded.

  • Apps gets stuck when downloading from iCloud, shows as "waiting" but never downloaded

    When I download an app already purchase from iCloud it gets stuck as waiting. It only happens with apps downloaded from iCloud as new apps download well.

    Hi there Tincho27,
    It sounds like new apps are downloading without issue, but apps that are already on your account seem to never get done Waiting. I would start by deleting any apps you have that are currently stuck:
    How to delete content you've downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, iBooks Store, or Mac App Store
    Tap and hold the app you want to delete.
    The apps will begin to jiggle.
    Tap the X on the app.
    Then sign out of the account in your Settings:
    iOS: Sign in with a different Apple ID in the iTunes Store, App Store, and iBooks Store
    Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores.
    Tap your Apple ID.
    If you see the option to Sign In, you can change your Apple ID now.
     Tap Sign Out.
    Then restart your iPhone and try downloading an purchased app again to test the issue:
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,

  • HT4859 if i download from icloud to my pc, can i then delete it from pc and return it to icloud.

    Hi
    I have just bought itunes match, but don´t really totally understand how it works.  It appears all of my records/videos are now in icloud and not on my computer or apple tv.  If I re-download something from icloud to my computer can I then delete and re-send it to icloud again, thus freeing up space on my computer?  Any help would be appreciated.

    Yes.

  • I have tried to change my User id which is an email address I no longer want to use. Now I am constantly getting requests from icloud and Apple ID for my password and cant get into my icloud account.

    I have tried to change my User id which is an email address I no longer want to use. Now I am constantly getting requests from icloud and Apple ID for my password and cant get into my icloud account.

    To change the iCloud ID you have to go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password for the old ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use.  If you don't know the password for your old ID, or if it isn't accepted, go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.
