Downloading movie is slow. Any fix?

I purchased the movie Troy just now. It says that there is 4 hours remaining. This is the first movie I buy and the whole reason I purchased it was to watch it now(the DVD store is closed).
How can it take 4 hours? Thats longer than the movie! Is this possible to fix?
I am downloading it from the piratebay right now and it will be done in 10 minutes! (I don´t usually do that, but I´m not feeling guilty since I already bought it). If this is how it usually works, this was the last time I buy on itunes. But I hope this can be fixed.

Moves are very large files.  I downloaded one in standared definition and it took about 2 hours.  If yours was a HD movie it could take even longer.  If you go to http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ you can test your internet speed. Mine is about 20mbps. My guess is its just a slow internet conection. Hope that helps.

  • Keep getting error = 50 when downloading movies how do i fix

    Keep getting error =50 when trying to download movies. some have come through but i have 4 with the same message. downloading indiviually as well.

    So, the article suggests this -
    Configure your security software
    Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006, 9807, 9844. Sometimes as a result of this issue, a device might stop responding during the restore process.
    Check your security software and settings, which can block ports and prevent connection to Apple servers during update and restore.
    Did you go to the next security software link, update the time and check the ports?
    An easy quick fix you can try without running throuh the security software article, is try restoring from another computer or uninstall the security software on your computer.

  • ADE on MacBook crashes when opening downloaded library book.  Any fix?

    I just downloaded ADE on my MacBook Pro, then downloaded a book from the library.  The book downloads every time I open ADE.  Then, when clicking on the book, ADE quits.  It is supposed to add it to a list to "READ", but this doesn't happen.  Any solutions?@

    Follow-up... it turns out this problem was caused by a corrupted e-book file.  The test is to download another e-book, then try to open it.  At my librarian's suggestion, I tried this and it worked.  They will try to fix their broken e-book file.

  • Itunes 10.5.2 download errors...any fixes?

    I am trying to download Itunes 10.5.2 for my Iphone 4s.  I have done all of the following including pulling my hair out:  I deleted all of the Itunes and like stuff (Bonjour, Apple, etc.), rebooted, re-installed, regedit, rebooted, windows update, installed a version lower than 10.5.2 and tried to update, run cccleaner, changed adminstrative rights, turned off popup blocker, updated my firewall to not block Apple, used the Microsoft Fixit for several fixes, unchecked the Apple Mobile Device from start-up and rebooted like 50 times.  I still get the error that the file is not safe.  Help me please before I hurl my phone across the room and go by and Android!    Running Windows Vista 32-bit.

    If you haven't already, try temporarily disabling your firewall and antivirus software and try again...

  • Apple TV won't download movies anymore.  it says to go to store and check Purchase history, but everything seems to be in order.  Any idea what I am looking for to fix the problem and download movies again?

    My apple TV will no longer download movies.  It says to go to the Apple Store and check purchase history.  Everything seems to be in order.  Any idea what I am looking for?

    Okay - let's cut to the chase...
    If the Menu Bar (File, Edit... Help) shown in my screenshot below is not visible, use CTRL+B to display it. Then click on Help/Check for Updates. If one is available, you will be able to select it at this time.
    Note the item at the bottom of the list; About iTunes. Selecting that will show you which version of iTunes you are using.
    An alternative method to display the Menu Bar is click on the box in the top left of your iTunes window...

  • What is wrong with the app store and how long before its fixed, im downloading atna very slow pash and i have a 10mb uncontested line.

    What is wrong with the app store and how long before its fixed, im downloading atna very slow pash and i have a 10mb uncontested line.

    Sorry, its on both my iphone 4s (2 iphones) and ipad2 that the app store is slow, I have done all the above and still when i download a 1 mb app it take about a half a hour just to download and previously it wasn't even a second. When browsing the web the devices are fast and internet speed is good, but when going in to app store it takes long to load and show me the new app, updates, featured app ect. We watch movie online and the streaming is brilliant. Even on my windows pc the app store is slow and sometimes says that i store could not be opened, i have also tried on my buddies wifi and there it does exactly the same which makes me think that its on apples side, but why do you not have any problems? 

  • Cannot play any downloaded movies on Apple TV

    I have a downloaded movie in my iTunes library, and Home Sharing is enabled both on my Apple TV and on my iTunes. The same thing always happens when I try to play the movie. The play bar will appear, showing the correct time, but the spiral loading icon will keep spinning forever while never loading the movie. The exact same thing happens when I try to airplay a video I shot on my iPhone.
    I never get this problem when airplaying YouTube, HBO Go, or Netflix. What is causing this problem with local videos, and how do I fix it?

    1. Do you have by any chance your iTunes Library stored on an external drive?
    2. Does Apple TV plays your movie after you have once restarted your iTunes?
    As of today my only option is after a fresh download to restart iTunes and it works again.
    Currently investigation and once found out I will post it here.
    It is really anoying.
    I found that article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972
    it seems Apple is aware of this connectivity issues and offers what I am doin anyway. When it comes to connection problem restart everything (seems that is a more easy solution for them instead of fixing it)

  • IPad 1 slow to start. Any fixes?

    IPad 1 slow to start. Any fixes?

    My iPad 1's slow response really annoyed me, specifically on Safari.  This weekend I spent a lot of time reading various discussions dating back a couple of years.  I was so frustrated I "restored" my iPad to an out-of-the-box condition and re-registered the iPad (but still with the last 5.1.1 iOS).
    This helped until I restored the iPad getting much of my data transferred back (except my movies, books, and music, which took up a lot of memory and I didn't use much from the iPad, for now).  My iPad was slow again.
    I turned off most or all Notifications and ICloud functions (from System).  I'll turn them back on later to see how they affect speed.  I did keep Find My iPhone (iPad) on.
    Here's what seemed cure my problem.  BOOKMARKS BAR.  This entire section I had synced with my iPad.  It was packed with many duplicates of bookmarks from several years.  I tried manually deleting the bookmarks within the iPad but it was taking hours to do so one-by-one.  There were hundreds, perhaps thousands.
    I went back to my Mac Mini base station and deleted all of them, including many prepacked folders and individual bookmarks/web addresses.  I then synced my iPad again with the box checked in iTunes to replace the bookmarks in the iPad with the (now empty/zero) Bookmarks Bar in my Mac Mini.
    My Safari responsiveness returned.  I just did this less than an hour ago, but so far, I'm happy.
    Yes, I'll need to manually add back my bookmarks as I go, but I can remember mostly what I'll use on a daily basis or I can just research them again as if it was the first time going to a website.

  • Hi I'm trying to download movies on iTunes it's sitting in the download tab saying " waiting" it's been like that for a few days how do I fix it. Thanks!!

    Hi please help me I'm trying to download movies from iTunes. I've got 3 movies in a frozen "waiting " process?? How do I fix this??!
    First time ipad user

    Downloads happen one at a time. A Downlaod will not start until a previous one has completed.
    So first make sure you don't have an App or a podcast downloading somewhere or pasued as it would be holding up the rest of the download queue.
    If that is not the case, you can try restarting your iPad to see if that prompts the downloads to start..
    Hold down the Home and Pwoer buttons until you see the Apple Logo. Ignore any sliders that may appear.

  • HT2589 I already have 2 devices on one apple ID account and want to add apple TV.  How do I add another device on an existing apple ID account so that I can download movies from the cloud to any of 3 devices?

    how do I add another device on to my apple ID account so that I can download movies etc.. from my icloud to any of the 3 devices on the account?   I already have my iphone and ipad on the account and for some reason my 3rd device (apple TV) dropped off.   If you can help, greatly appreciated!!

    Hello there, HannaGriffin.
    Since the Apple TV (1st Generation) is the only one that has storage, I would recommend the following Knowledge Base articles for troubleshooting issues with authorization:
    Apple TV (1st generation) may not play content purchased from the iTunes Store
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1359
    or
    Apple TV (1st generation): Apple TV repeatedly asks for password to play iTunes Store rentals or purchases

    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

  • My wirelessinternet speed seems to be fine, however, trying to play a 1 minute video from my iphone to apple tv via airplay is so slow. Any fixes?

    >Any fixes?
    Don't use WiFi for streaming video.  It is even worse for AirPlay since you are using bandwidth twice as it sends data from the iOS device to the router and then from the router to ATV.  Use an wired connection to go to ATV.   Even the high end consumer grade WiFi equitment is not great at doing streaming video.
