How I resolved my Apple TV download speed problems

I have been experiencing download speed problems with my Apple TV2 for a while. The performance was so bad that I couldn't buy or rent movies from Apple TV, because it would take hours to even start the download. I wasn't sure if the problem was with my ISP (Comcast), the modem, or the wireless router.
I just logged in to my wireless router (Cisco Linksys E300) and changed the following two settings:
Network Mode = Wireless-N Only
Channel Width = 20 Mhz Only
After restarting my Apple TV2, movie streaming is now perfect. It took less than one minute to start the streaming of a recently purchased movie.
I recalled reading some time ago that a Network Mode which allows switching between B, G and N wireless modes can cause problems with streaming. Perhaps each time switching occurs, the Apple TV has to renegotiate with the iTunes Store. I'm not sure that the "Channel Width" setting is necessary or relevant, but since I'm happily streaming again, I don't really care.
I hope that this helps others resolve this problem.

If you have home sharing enabled on the Apple TV and an IOS running on the same network you can use the remote app. Otherwise, you will need to purchase a new remote.

    I'm having problems with iPhoto and the facebook set-up.  Every time I attempt to do so it says an error has occured and try again later.  I have not seen a solution posted.  Therefore, how does one contact Apple to solve the problem?  I'm new to the world of iMac but I find it a bit frustrating trying to solve basic issues/problems:(

    For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices. 
    That all works.
    It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now.  They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
    I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
    Thanks for listening,

    "How to Resolve ORA-29532 Java 2 Permission Problems in RDBMS 8.1.6 and 8.1.7".
    Problem Description
    Periodically an application running in the Enterprise Java Engine
    (EJE) formerly known as the "Oracle 8i JVM", "the JSERVER component", or
    the "Aurora JVM" will fail with a "java 2" permissions error having the
    following format :
    Note : Message shown below have been reformatted for easier readability.
    java.sql.SQLException: ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception:
    usually followed by a detailed error message similar to one of the following
    messages :
    Example # 1
    java.security.AccessControlException: the Permission
    (java.net.SocketPermission hostname resolve)
    has not been granted by dbms_java.grant_permission to
    SchemaProtectionDomain(SCOTT|PolicyTableProxy(SCOTT))
    Example # 2
    java.security.AccessControlException: the Permission
    (java.util.PropertyPermission * read,write)
    has not been granted by dbms_java.grant_permission to
    SchemaProtectionDomain(SCOTT|PolicyTableProxy(SCOTT))
    Example # 3

    1) Logon as SYS or SYSTEM
    2) Issue the following commands :
    a) call dbms_java.grant_permission('SCOTT',
    'java.net.SocketPermission',
    'hostname',
    'resolve');
    b) commit;
    Note: Commit is mandatory !!
    3) Logoff as SYS or SYSTEM
    4) Retry your application
    For Example # 2
    1) Logon as SYS or SYSTEM
    2) Issue the following commands :
    a) call dbms_java.grant_permission('SCOTT',
    'java.util.PropertyPermission',
    'read,write');
    b) commit;
    Note: Commit is mandatory !!
    3) Logoff as SYS or SYSTEM

    Hi, Don,
    I solved the problem of security exception I mentioned at java procedure topic as following:
    ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception: java.lang.SecurityException
    I tried to use your solution as following:
    call dbms_java.grant_permission('SDE', 'java.net.SocketPermission', 'ORCL.COHPA.UCF.EDU','resolve');
    but SQL*plus gave me a error message:
    invalid collumn.
    What's the problem?
    However, I call a grant command as following:
    SQL> grant JAVASYSPRIV to sde;
    and then that exception is gone. What's the difference between dbms_java.grant_permission and grant command?
    Thanks

    How do you contact Apple to solve a problem?

    Most people would start by clicking the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of the website.

  • HT3702 I purchased an app for my iPhone on 7/23 and was billed accordingly, however, today on 7/25 I was billed again though I have not bought any other app. How do I contact apple to rectify the problem?

    I've been billed twice for a single purchase. How do I get Apple to rectify the problem?

    You could either try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that app and use the 'Report a Problem' link.
    Or you can contact iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express Lane, then iTunes > iTunes Store

  • Apple TV2 Download Speed

    Just curious if there's a way to see connection/download speeds on this. Similar to running speedtest.net app on a phone or ipad. I'm not having any problems, just simple curiosity. I see the signal strength indicator in settings and I know there is a network test that can be run but I've never seen any info after doing that. I assume if it detected a problem you'd get some kind of onscreen message.
    Just in case of a future issue this might enable me to tell whether there was an issue with Apple's servers or with my own internet service.

    Does it? Mine only sends the result to Apple and only tells me if it's not connected.
    Yes, at least mine does. It ask if your experiencing slow downloads and what your connection speed is, runs a download test and reports if the test was successful.

  • How do I keep my current download speed?

    I changed to Infinity earlier today and am getting 37.5 MBPS download speed.  I understand from the engineer the next 3 days the link will be analysed in order to determine my requirement.  What should I do to ensure my 'requirement' is 37.5 ?
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You can't as such as the process is automatic and will settle at highest stable speed your line will support. Avoid turning off or reset your router as the system can see that as instability. After a few days the line will stabilise and then it is less important what you do. Do not get hung up on the connection speed as few applications will be upset whether you connect at 37 or 32Mb/sec. Enjoy faster downloads and lower ping speeds most people get.

  • Download speed problems

    Hello again, since Friday 10/10/14 my connection speeds have decreased, line seems to be reseting as my Bipac 7800 is showing an increase in download SNR and decrease in the connected speed, my normal speed is aprox 7000, the suprise is that the upload speed is showing an increase with a decrease in the SNR strange?. Attempts to lower the SNR using the Bipac 7800 have failed as the SNR is showing no change. Connected to Abbey wood exchange, simple things like refreshing tv and radio feeds in getiplayer took seconds now take 5-10 minutes.

  • My download speed - Problem or just this slow?

    Well I've always had bad download speeds, guessing because of my area and such, but they seem to have gotten worse lately. My max download speeds used to be around 120kb/sec but now I'm lucky if they even reach 60kb/sec ( not in peak times )
    Now I'm not exactly networking savvy, but I did that BT speed test and the results are:
     Download speedachieved during the test was - 413 Kbps
     For your connection, the acceptable range of speeds is 50-500 Kbps.
     Additional Information:
     Your DSL Connection Rate :1248 Kbps(DOWN-STREAM), 448 Kbps(UP-STREAM)

    Is that around about right? Is there any other information I should disclose? Do I have a problem or am I just unfortunate enough to have these bad download speeds?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Because you accidently disconnected it, you'll need to remain connected for 3 -5 days (which shouldn't be long now) and allow the profile to rise, I dont think it will rise, but it may just nudge the system and may work...
    Alternatively you could contact the mods, and ask for an SNR reset which should give your sync speed a boost and in turn give the system a kick up the backside and tell it to get its ass in gear .  You can contact the mods using this link http://bt.custhelp.com/app/contact_email/c/4951 .

  • Hub 4 download speed problem

    Ongoing for several weeks.
    Appear to have steady speed to hub from exchange - approx 4Mb down. Profile is 4Mb.
    Using laptop over 2m ethernet cable. Speed from hub to laptop approx 3.5Mb which is reasonable.
    At various time during day speed from hub to laptop drops drastically to approx 0.8 or lower. When speed exchange to hub checked it is still 4Mb - that is if speed test still works.
    When checking, all wireless devices are switched off e.g. TV / 'phone / iPad etc.
    New hub recieved and installed today. No change.
    Anybody seen / heard of anything like this ?

    Or, better yet, focus on developing great software like you've been doing for years and leave the "cloud" stuff to others. I'd feel a lot better about DPS if I knew I could host it all myself.

  • How do I increase the file download speed?

    When downloading outside of firefox, I manage anywhere from 5mb/s to 16mb/s, depending what I am downloading and where from. Yet, when a file has to download from within the browser, it downloads at 1/30th to 1/10th of that if I am lucky. Is there some kind of restriction built in to firefox that I might be able to change or am I just S.O.L?

    Download / upload speeds depend on 3 things.
    * The speed of the ISP
    * The speed of the sender
    * The speed of the receiver
    Since you seem to have decided Firefox is the issue, lets work on that.
    Go to the '''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ Mozilla Add-ons Web Page]''' {web link}
    (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for a download manager.
    There are also external programs that can be used.
