Apple TV Newbie - Why do I have to wait nearly an hour to download an episode?

I'm pretty technically challenged, and not sure if the problem I'm experiencing can be fixed, but I recently purchased a TV show season from iTunes and it seems to prompt me to wait at least an hour if not more to download each episode. Is this normal or is there something I can do to speed up the process? Can I download the entire season at once or am I forced to wait an hour between watching episodes?

This is dependent on your network. Check www.speedtest.net
8mbps is required for instant 1080p, 6mbps for 720P, 3mbps for SD (you can switch to SD in the settings)
There are other causes but I would check this first.

  • Why cant i download music in the Uk the same time as the USA why do we have to wait weeks and weeks to download music when other countries can download it straight away?

    #itunes store. Why cant i download music in the UK the same time as in the USA? Why do we have to wait weeks and weeks to downloand music when other fans can dowload music in other coutries when it is released in the US?

    Itunes can only provide what the owners of the distribution rights to the music provide.
    If the owner of the rights do not provide it, then itunes cannot sell it.
    You would have to ask the owners of the distribution rights in each country why they do not provide them at the same time.

  • Why do i have to wait 90 days to download music I bought with another apple ID?

    My iphone 5 is now linked to a 'business' Apple ID.   I would like to change that to a personal apple Id that i used to purchase many songs.    I did change the apple ID but when I turned on 'automatic downloads' for music, a message appeared saying:   'This device is already associated with an apple ID.  If you turn on auto-downloads, you cannot download past purchases with a different apple ID for 90 days'.      
    Why do i have to wait 90 days to use music i bought with another apple ID?   Is there another way to do this so that I don't have to wait 90 days?
    Thanks

    No. There is no getting around this limitation.

  • HT5312 Why do I have to wait for someone to respond

    Why do I have to wait for someone to respond for me to receive a rescue mail this is unacceptable I am a first time buyer and don’t have time to remember all the sully password and security questions. This just come to show that that all the problems I have been having with my iPhone 5 just carries over to the poor  design of all Apple user products.
    I will never buy an apple product again!

    Ok, well thanks for sharing. I'm certain we will miss you.

  • Why do I have to Wait 90 Days to reset to Kiehne@aps.edu

    Why do I have to wait 90 Days Why Can't you guys reset it? For me to download Purchases already Purchased

    Most of the people on these forums, including myself, are fellow users - you're not talking to iTunes Support here.
    I believe that the 90 day limit is an attempt to stop people logging into their accounts on other peoples computer's and copying and sharing purchases.
    You can try contacting iTunes Support via this link and see if they can remove the 90 day limit : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • Why do we have to wait 24 hours to download?

    why do we have to wait 24 hours to download when we need the product now to finish a project?

    Hi bca_sd,
    The download of Acrobat should not take this long.
    Are you connected to high speed internet connection?
    Please try downloading from the direct download links available at: http://helpx.adobe.com/acrobat/kb/acrobat-downloads.html
    You might also want to try downloading from a different network connection and check.

  • Why do I have two icons for iMovie '11 after downloading the update from the App Store?  Previously I had iMovie '09.

    Why do I have two icons for iMovie '11 after downloading the update from the App Store?  Previously I had iMovie '09.

    Do you see two versions of iMovie in your Application folder?
    You can drag the icons out of the dock and then drag what you want back to the dock from the Application folder.

    On the main menu, isn't there a settings icon next to the green one that says "Computer" ?

    When i Select .. Into a VARCHAR bind variable, i have to initialize the variable before, otherwise i get an ORA-1458.A bind variable in a SQL is simply a place holder. The SQL engine has no idea what data type the value for that placeholder will be. When itself needs to return a value via that placeholder to the caller, it needs to know what the limits/size of the caller's variable is that will be receiving the value from it.
    The way that the SQL engine knows what the data type and size are of a placeholder/bindvar, is by you the caller, telling it.. by binding the variable you will be using, to this placeholder.
    This bind process "exposes" the data type and size of the variable that will be used for binding (sending/receiving data).

  • I have been waiting almost 24 hours for my SIM to be activated.

    Hello, I have been waiting almost 24 hours for my SIM to be activated. When I went in store, they said that as I am an existing customer it should only take a few hours to swap my number over to my new sim card. I have been on the website to try and activate it but it says it sends a text to your old sim. The screen on my old phone is completely unresponsive and therefore I am unable to do anything on it, including reading my texts. Should I leave it til after the 24 hour deadline before calling customer services? I am at work until 9pm this evening and all day tomorrow so am worried I will not get this resolved until Thursday and I use my phone for work so need it working. I also have to travel a long distance to get there and am worried about there being a problem and not having any way of contacting anyone without my phone. Help

    Hi ,
    If the store activated your new sim then you will not have to use the online activation form.
    If you still have no service on the new sim after 24 hours please get in touch with customer service.
    Click here for contact details.
    Thanks

  • It is ridiculous that you do not have an email to customer service.  I have been waiting for an hour to chat, but it is never available.  this makes me not want to be a verizon customer.

    Think about it...
    The reason they won't use email is so they can "stretch the truth" and get away with it.  They can tell you anything you want to hear over the phone and deny it all later.  In these forums, posts can magically disappear.
    With email, they are caught between a rock and a hard place, so it will never happen.  Things said in email are much harder to go back on.

  • HT1420 Why do we have to wait 90days to authorise a computer to get past purchases?

    I have switched to my regular PC, from my laptop that is now old and not so useful. I am disappointed that now I have to wait 90 days to get all the purchases I made from my laptop to my computer. Why is this? Why can't it be that simple?

    The 90 days association to an account should only start if you use iTunes Match or automatic downloads on an account, or redownload an account's past purchases : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627 - I believe that it's an attempt to try and stop people sharing/downloading their content on other people's computers/devices.
    If you can't wait for the 90 days to complete then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can remove the association, but doing either of those three things on a different account is likely to start an association to that account instead :  http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
    If you still have your library on your laptop then you should be able to copy it over from that :http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527

  • Why do I have to wait for something that can be activated now?

    I ordered AT&T Internet and a landline only last week. Why can't at the landline be activated now? The scheduling department tells me I have to wait until Thursday August 6th. You would think something so easy could be done immediately through "the wires". I see U-Verse trucks at my apartment complex almost on a daily basis. If you can read this AT&T, can you please activate the landline for order # [edited for privacy – please do not post personal information] ASAP?!
    Thank you,

    Why are my payments for non-eBay sales pending and how can I prevent this?  If you recently started to sell with PayPal and you don’t have any selling history with us, payments you receive (except eBay payments) are now being placed into your pending balance. As long as there are no problems with the transactions, you’ll have the money within 21 days.
    Typically, you can access these payments within 7-14 days if you:Send the item to the buyer’s postal address, as shown on the Transaction Details pageMark the item as sent on the Transaction Details page and provide the dispatch details (for digital goods, mark the item as processed on the Transaction Details page).Once you complete the below requirements, you won’t be considered a new seller any more, and you should receive future payments sooner.Receive a predetermined number of paymentsWait a predetermined number of days from the date you received your first payment.You can also view your remaining requirements and confirm your identity at any time by logging in to your account and visiting the Resolution Centre.

  • Why do I have to wait between calls?

    I'll try to explain myself.  
    After making or receiving a call and hanging up I have to wait a minute or so before making another call.  If I try to make the call immediately after I hang up the previous call, the call does not go through (the screen does back to the home screen showing 'call ended').  This problem sometimes goes away after restarting the iPhone.    Has anyone else had this problem?  Is this a hardware issue? 
    My phone is an iPhone 5 32GB with less than one month of use.

    It goes away after a reset, but unfortunately the problem comes back.  Have not tried a Restore...  What would be the proper way to restore?  Should I restore from backup or do I have to add all apps one by one, add email accounts, etc.?
