Download speed equals upload speed from iTunes store

When downloading a movie bundle from the iTunes store the download speed I attain is being equaled by the upload speed that data appears to be going to the iTunes store. Why is this? Is there a way to dedicate bandwidth to the download instead of, what appears to be a waste of bandwidth, going right back to the iTunes store?
Thanks

I have a menu bar app that shows me sends and receives, and I can see - in Activity Monitor - iTunes incrementing bytes out and in at about the same rate.

  • After downloading iOS5 cannot purchase songs from iTunes store

    After downloading iOS5 I cannot access the iTunes store on my iPhone or iPad but i can on my PC laptop.to purchase songs. Only podcasts are available. Anyone else having this problem?

    I believe that you're seeing another symptom of the iTunes store authentication problems reported elsewhere. iTunes, the store, MobileME and others are all rather integrated and a problem in one of those has affected all the rest. For instance, I am able to purchase new content but cannot authenticate the old content. Others are unable to purchase at all.
    Be patient. Apple has known about this problem since Aug 4 and I assume they're working on something. It should be days (but not hours) before they resolve it.

  • I purchased the itunes match. How do I download music that is not from itunes store?

    I have been trying to download music from my PC to the cloud. iTunes Match picked up the music I purchased from the iTunes store but did not download any of the music from my PC library. How do I download that music?

    Hi,
    I do not follow what you are trying to do. Firstly you don't download music from your PC to the cloud - you upload to the cloud!
    Where is your music? Is it on your computers hard drive? Has iTunes Match scanned your iTunes library?

  • Download error on movie rented from Itunes Store

    Hello, I have tried to download a movie i just rented from the itunes store and an error message stating that:
    There was a problem downloading "file name". The disk could not be read from or written to. Please check the connection to the network is active and try again

    Same thing here... Direct purchase of musicvideos, tv shows, etc. via Apple TV with no problem (account is valid, connection is there, content is downloaded). Musicvideos and tv shows are synced to my iTunes library and I can play the complete content on my computer. Musicvideos ARE available on ATV (just bought one via iTunes... and directly available and playable on ATV), but purchased tv shows are not available and will not sync (tv show WAS bought via Apple TV... synced to iTunes... but after changing syncing to the latest 5 episodes of tv shows I cannot stream with the online and connected iTunes library to watch my bought shows).
    Help!

  • Can't download purchased content onto ipad from iTunes Store

    I have purchased a tv series on the iTunes Store on my lap top. When I go to iTunes on my iPad it will not let me download it onto my iPad. The cloud symbol turns to a circle for a couple of seconds and then goes back to a cloud symbol. Any ideas? Thanks.

    That's good to hear.
    After some mucking about I managed to get it downloading on another computer (which is already running 10.8). Hopefully I should be able to copy it over and install.
    But I will let Apple know - potentially pretty disasterous for people.
    Thanks.

  • Purchased videos from itunes store download/upload issues

    I purchased movie from itunes store downloaded it onto my itouch works plays is fine --but when I tried to sync or drag the movie onto my windows computer into itunes or sync it with itunes cannot get the + sign only no go.  Getting frustrated--I bought this movie actually for my wife and then cannot get it onto her itouch since it will not transfer into itunes for me to get it moved/transferred onto her itouch.  Both itouch's are authorized on this computer.  I am confused--why buy the video if you cannot work with it on your devices?  Please help!

    Did you check your trash can? Did you make a backup copy of your videos that you purchased? That is something that is always reminded to users that purchase from the itunes store...to make a backup copy to their purchased music. The idea is once you buy the music and you lose it well then its gone forever. I highly doubt you can get what you purchased from the itunes music store back again without purchasing them again. But that is weird that you had the videos and and their gone now. Have you tried searching for them on your computer harddrive? Did you do a recent hard reset to your ipod? Are you manually updating your ipod and deciding what to sync and not?

  • Why is one film from iTunes Store taking over two days to download?

    Hi,
    I bought a film from iTunes store two days ago and it is still downloading, loading about 0.1 MB per ten minutes. iTunes is telling me that I have around 80-100 hours until the download is completed, which seems absolutely crazy for a film that is only two hours long. I'm beginning to lose patience and would like to know if anyone knows why it is taking so long for this film to download? And, is there a way to increase the download speed without downloading any untrustworthy files?
    Thank you,
    IsabellaAMG

    Because the people who hold the copyright to a song may be different in each country; everything on the iTunes Store is available with the permission of the copyright holder.

  • I purchased audio book from iTunes store. It shows up in my iTunes library but is not uploading to my ipod Touch, even though my computer is authorized. Any suggestions?

    I purchased an audio book from iTunes store. It successfully downloaded to my iTunes library< but will not upload to my ipod Touch, even though my computer is authorized. Any suggestions? Any and all are greatly appreciated.

    If your iTunes is set on manual sync, then you have to manually drag and drop. Otherwise every time yousyncyou'll get all changes even if you don't want it.

    how can i download an app from iTunes store, that exists just in a "swiss store". Because my account isn't allowed to download apps from other stores than a slovene. ???

    You have to be in a country, and have a billing address in that country, to download from its store. You can try requesting that the app be added to the Slovenia store, but unless the app's developer/rights-holder agrees to it then Apple won't be able to sell it there : http://www.apple.com/feedback/itunes.html
