Does anyone experiencing slow iTunes download?

I experience slow iTunes download in last 24 hours, keep getting connection timeout error. I wonder if it is just me or the iTunes server is facing issue? Can anyone give me some clue? Thanks

Yes! Still experiencing that error right at the end of the download. Has been happening for a few days. Have tried connecting to a different internet service provider and still have the same problem. Telstra sayits not them, iTunes helpdesk says its not them. Just have to keep on trying for now.

ITunes download is extremely slow or not working, am I the only one experiencing this, iTunes download is extremely slow or not working, am I the only one experiencing this

iTunes download is extremely slow or not working, am I the only one experiencing this, iTunes download is extremely slow or not working, am I the only one experiencing this?

I do not have a solution, just the same complaint. ***! ! I just used the iTunes store 2 weeks ago and now, after reviewing everything they asked for including ID/Pass/ Account Info etc. I can't even get into the store. I have tried asking at the Mac store and it has all been to no avail. I was perfectly happy with iTunes before all of this ********... seriously what is the issue with iTunes? They ask me to upload a new version (with no system specs anywhere that I can find on the page) and then say it can't utilized because of system inadequacy. It is exceedingly frustrating.

Does anyone experienced bad quality when burning a DVD?

Does anyone experienced bad quality when burning a DVD?
Using OS 10.6.8 and Magiv Video in iDVD, I am having a hard time creating a decent DVD. The videos per se are fine, but the intro menu and menu text and images are extremely poor quality and hard to read. What is going on?

Hi my notes on this - might be of help
DVD quality
1. iDVD 08, 09 & 11 has three levels of qualities. (version 7.0.1, 7,0.4 & 7.1.1)
iDVD 6 has the two last ones
• Professional Quality
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - BEST (but not always for short movies e.g. up to 45 minutes in total)
• Best Performances
(movies + menus less than 60 min.) - High quality on final DVD (Can be best for short movies)
• High Quality (in iDVD08 or 09) / Best Quality (in iDVD6)
(movies + menus up to 120 min.) - slightly lower quality than above
About double on DL DVDs.
2. Video from
• FCE/P - Export out as full quality QuickTime.mov (not self-containing, no conversion)
• iMovie x-6 - Don't use ”Share/Export to iDVD” = destructive even to movie project and especially so
when the movie includes photos and the Ken Burns effect NOT is used. Instead just drop or import the iMovie movie project icon (with a Star on it) into iDVD theme window.
• iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not meant to go to iDVD. Go via Media Browser and as Large (NOT HD or other resolutiona as result will suffer) or rather use iMovie HD 6 from start.
3. I use Roxio Toast™ to make an as slow burn as possibly e.g. x4 or x1 (in iDVD’08 or 09 this can also be set)
This can also be done with Apple’s Disk Utilities application when burning from a DiskImage.
4. There has to be about or more than 25Gb free space on internal (start-up) hard disk. iDVD can't
use an external one as scratch disk (if it is not start-up disc). For SD-Video - if HD-material is used I guess that 4 to 5 times more would do.
5. I use Verbatim ( also recommended by many - Taiyo Yuden DVDs - I can’t get hold of it to test )
6. I use DVD-R (no +R or +/-RW) - DVD-R play’s on more and older DVD-Players
7. Keep NTSC to NTSC - or - PAL to PAL when going from iMovie to iDVD
(I use JES_Deinterlacer to keep frame per sec. same from editing to the Video-DVD result.)
8. Don’t burn more than three DVDs at a time - but let the laser cool off for a while before next batch.
iDVD quality also depends on.
• DVD is a standard in it self. It is Standard Definition Quality = Same as on old CRT-TV sets and can not
deliver anything better that this.
HD-DVD was a short-lived standard and it was only a few Toshiba DVD-players that could playback.
These DVDs could be made in DVD-Studio Pro. But they don’t playback on any other standard DVD-Player.
Blu-Ray / BD can be coded onto DVDs but limited in time to - about 20-30 minutes and then need
_ Roxio Toast™ 10 Pro incl. BD-component
_ BD disks and burner if full length movies are to be stored
_ BD-Player or PlayStation3 - to be able to playback
The BD-encoded DVDs can be play-backed IF Mac also have Roxio DVD-player tool. Not on any standard Mac or DVD-player
Full BD-disks needs a BD-player (in Mac) as they need blue-laser to be read. No red-laser can do this.
• HOW much free space is there on Your internal (start-up) hard disk. Go for approx. 25Gb.
less than 5Gb and Your result will most probably not play.
• How it was recorded - Tripod vs Handheld Camera. A stable picture will give a much higher quality
• Audio is most often more critical than picture. Bad audio and with dropouts usually results in a non-viewed movie.
• Use of Video-editor. iMovie’08 or 09 or 11 are not the tools for DVD-production. They discard every second line resulting in a close to VHS-tape quality.
iMovie 1 to HD6 and FinalCut any version delivers same quality as Camera record in = 100% to iDVD
• What kind of movie project You drop into it. MPEG4 seems to be a bad choice.
other strange formats are .avi, .wmv, .flash etc. Convert to streamingDV first
Also audio formats matters. I use only .aiff or from miniDV tape Camera 16-bit
strange formats often problematic are .avi, .wmv, audio from iTunes, .mp3 etc
Convert to .aiff first and use this in movie project
• What kind of standard - NTSC movie and NTSC DVD or PAL to PAL - no mix.
(If You need to change to do a NTSC DVD from PAL material let JES_Deinterlacer_3.2.2 do the conversion)
(Dropping a PAL movie into a NTSC iDVD project
(US) NTSC DVDs most often are playable in EU
(EU) PAL DVDs most often needs to be converted to play in US
UNLESS. They are play-backed by a Mac - then You need not to care
• What kind of DVDs You are using. I use Verbatim DVD-R (this brand AND no +R or +/-RW)
• How You encode and burn it. Two settings prior iDVD’08 or 09
Pro Quality (only in iDVD 08 & 09)
Best / High Quality (not always - most often not)
Best / High Performances (most often my choice before Pro Quality)
1. go to iDVD pref. menu and select tab far right and set burn speed to x1 (less errors = plays better) - only in iDVD 08 & 09
(x4 by some and may be even better)
2. Project info. Select Professional Encoding - only in iDVD 08 & 09.
Region codes.
iDVD - only burn Region = 0 - meaning - DVDs are playable everywhere
DVD Studio pro can set Region codes.
1 = US
2 = EU

What it turned out to be was the "quality" settings in iDVD. The total clip time was NOT over 2 hours or 4.7GB, yet iDVD created massive visual artifacts on the "professional quality" setting.
I switched the settings to "high quality" which solved the problem. According iDVD help, "high quality" determines the best bit rate for the clips you have.
I have NEVER seen iDVD do this before, especially when I was under the 2 hour and 4.7GB limits.
For anyone else, there seem to be 2 places in iDVD to set quality settings, the first is under "preferences" and the second under "project info." They do NOT seem to be linked (i.e. if you change one, the other is NOT changed). take care, Mario
TO GET IT TO WORK SLIGHTLY FASTER
• Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-Up hard disk
• No other programs running in BackGround e.g. Energy-Saver
• Don’t let HD spin down or be turned off (in Energy-Save)
• Move hard disks that are not to be used to Trash - To be disconnected/turned off
• Goto Spotlight and set the rest of them under Integrity (not to be scanned)
• Set screen-saver to a folder without any photo - then make an active corner (up right for me) and set
pointer to this - turns on screen saver - to show that it has nothing to show

It depends on your device. For my devices it ranged from 1.1 - 1.3GB.

The Huntress,
I am aware of the Terms of Use of this forum.
On the contrary I suggested NOT to go on that route.
Didn't provide support didn't discuss, just mentioned.
Also mentioned the risk of losing warranty, performance and battery life.
Our friend Vince will probably find a solution like the one I mentioned and that's the reason I mentioned that there is availabl, BUT NOT recommended.
I am not an native english speaker, but I think it is quite obvious that the post is against jailbreaking.
Cheers.

my PC and iPod plus backup were all stolen saturday. does anyone know whether iTunes keep a record of our purchases?

No unless you makea habit of loosing all your content... Apple tends to be forgiving the first time, but after that its fair game, since your not actually purchasing the right to own the music.

Slow iTunes downloads from Ariport Expess when used as a range extender

I am having trouble with iTunes downloads - especially large files - when my Mac Book is connected to the internet through my Airport Express, which is acting as a range extender. If I take the Mac Book to the area in my house where the Airport Extreme is the wireless source, downloads are no problem. Does anyone know what the issue might be?

Welcome to Apple's discussion groups.
Are your AirPort base stations both newer 802.11n units that support the network "extend" option?
The problem may be that the AirPort Express is too far from the AirPort Extreme. It doesn't matter how strong a signal your Mac receives from the Express if the Express receives a weak signal from the Extreme. Ideally the Express should be half way between the Extreme and where you want to use your Mac.
You can use the advice in this thread to investigate the signal and noise levels that the AirPort Express sees:

Extremely slow iTunes download

Recently, my iTunes has been EXTREMELY slow at downloading things as small as a podcast. I'm currently trying to download a podcast and it says that there is 24 minutes remaining on 88.2 MB podcast. Can anyone explain to me what's going on?

Oh, thanks! I also noticed that I can't listen to the 30 second samples any more because the stream always interrupts Seems to be a problem with iTunes Europe
Are there any more information available... when will the problem be solved (maybe some Apple employees are reading the Discussions too

Does anyone know where to download service repair manual 4 all thing mac

There was page on the apple web where you can download a service repair manual. I think is on the apple support page. There was service source package for almost every machine out there. For some reason all I can find now is the user guide
Has that page been move? It was accessible before. Does anyone know where I might find this page? I Google it and I see people selling the service source which was meant to be free.

for which machine? they never fully released a total service guide PDF for most macs to the public, just for certain parts. you have to be an apple authorized service provider to get these types of manuals.
the only other option is to find DIY guides done by others for whatever task you have at hand.

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

Does anyone know how to download the Beyonce visual album from a CD onto iTunes?

So I bought the disc version of the Beyoncé album and it comes with an audio and a visual. When I put the visual into the computer, it launches into DVD player. Is there a way to download the videos onto iTunes? (I know that you can digitally purchase the videos on iTunes but I don't want to pay again for videos I already bought.) Thanks for any help you can give!

Can't say for sure but I very, very, strongly suspect you have to get the video component via digital download. iTunes does not support any kind of "ripping" from DVD, nor conversion from DVD format files to those used by iTunes. Check if any kind of digital download code is included.

Slow itunes Download - nothing helps

Using Itunes on Windows 7 (64). Downloads take ages (650 MB Video Episode more than an hour). Using a 150 M/Bit line, wired, not wifi. Nothing helped from the forum. Already opened some ports, tried the DMZ, made a new library...
Anyone got a new idea about this? I think its not a software but apple server problem, but proof me wrong.

Just as a reference that your issue may be unique, I downloaded
6 SD movies this morning between 5:30AM and 8:AM EST. I have
the 15 megabit Comcast service. Also, wasn't continuously downloading
during this period, i.e. when I would finally notice one was done, I would
start the next.
Also, were you doing simultaneous downloads or only downloading
only one item at a time? This can "seem" to slow things down as
it is a attempting to deliver multiple items at once, and bandwidth
is shared between them.

Fix for SLOW Itunes Downloads

First I want to say for the last four years I have been very satisfied with Apple. Until IOS 6 Crashed thier entire system.
In the last four years I have purchased 2 Mac Pros, 9 Mac Minis, 12 Ipads, 6 Iphones, and 4 Ipods.
First of all any compentent person knows when it is the ISP provider and when it is not, anyone can run a speed test.
Here is my FIX.
1. Purchase PC Laptop
2. Download and install Itunes.
3. Rent Movie
4. Enjoy that Movie the same evening.
Apple FIX THE PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

update: its no longer working. even if no security at all or on Wifi B, slow as ****. sometimes only 9kbps. this is insane
