How long to wait before watching movie download on apple tv?

Just purchased a tv season, then tried to play the pilot episode. It stopped 2 minuted in... Just froze. Eventually it returned To the apple scrolling pictures.
So I then proceeded back to the episode, pressed start at the beginning (instead of resuming) worked great... Until about 5 minutes in. Freeze Again!
So... How long should I need to wait to start playing the video so that it WON'T freeze?

If it isn't in the Rentals category in the Movie menu, check the purchases history in your iTunes account and see if it's there. If it isn't, you might try one more time and see if it works.
If not, you might want to contact iTunes store support. I had a problem a few months ago with my purchases not completing because of database corruption in the iTunes store that was affecting my account.

When doing a full battery discharge, how long to wait before recharge?

I use my 17" MBP as a desktop computer. Never need to travel anywhere with it, and never need to use it on battery. But I know that to maintain the health of the battery, it needs to be used. So I'd like to know the following:
1. Apple tech support informed me that when I fully discharge the battery, I should keep it in that fully discharged state for six hours before recharging it. This is quite inconvenient, as it requires careful planning to ensure one won't need the computer for six hours when the battery runs out. Which causes me to do full discharges less frequently than perhaps I should. Does one really need to wait six hours to get the benefit of the discharge? Or can one plug the power adapter in immediately when the discharge is complete, so as to be able to keep using the computer?
2. Some Apple staff say one should ALWAYS use the computer on battery. And only use the power adapter as a battery charger-- i.e. don't use the power adapter routinely to power the computer. Only plug in the adapter when you need to charge the battery. Is this true?

Thanks to both of you.
@eww: Yes, there was another question in my mind which both you as well as the thread you referenced, address: the need to use the battery frequently but lightly. This is a new concept for me, and I did not get guided at all in this direction by the tech support staff at apple. So reading the info you've given and referenced, it sounds like the best usage is frequent, partial use of battery. And recharging each time, before it is fully discharged. With full discharge and recalibration only once every 2-3 months.
Two different tech support people at Apple told me that whenever I do use the battery, I should use it all the way down. Do not do partial usage. And it was one of the tech support staff in the Apple Store in Annapolis MD, who told me that I should ALWAYS use the battery. There was no misunderstanding; I spoke to him for about regarding related points on battery usage. And if you ask the tech support staff how often calibration should be done, you'll get different answers every time. One told me every week, another told me every month, another said he wasn't certain what the best schedule was.
If you still have access to free tech support, do an experiment-- call the tech support line 4 or 5 times, and ask the same question each time: optimal strategies for battery maintenance, for someone using a MBP as a desktop. I did this 5-6 times in attempt to find out the best approach, and got different answers every time. And NONE of the staff gave type or detail of information which was provided in the reference you gave.
So thank you very much for your help. You have made the matter really clear!

HT1390 How long can you keep a movie rental, once it's downloaded? Do u need wifi to watch it?

How long can you keep a movie rental, once it's downloaded? Do u need wifi to watch it?

As long as it's been fully downloaded then you shouldn't need to be online in order to watch it.
As to how long you have to watch it, from here :
You have 30 days from the time of rental to watch your movie, and 24 hours (in the US) or 48 hours (elsewhere) after you've started viewing to finish it. Once the rental period expires, the movie will disappear from your iTunes library.

If I download a tv show to my iPad can I watch it when I am on an airplane? Is there a time limit on how long I have to watch the tv shows if I down load a complete season?

If I download a tv show to my iPad can I watch it when I am on an airplane? Is there a time limit on how long I have to watch the tv shows if I down load a complete season?

If you download a purchased TV Show or movie to the iPad, you can watch them anywhere. I have downloaded several movies to watch on flights.
I don't one know much about TV shows, but as far as I know, you can't rent them, you have to purchase them and there is no time limit because you bought it.

How to avoid long EFI wait before GRUB?

Following the instructions for Single-Boot: Ubuntu Only on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation I have successfully installed Ubuntu 10.04.3 Server LTS on my old Apple MacPro. Everything seems to be working just fine, except one tiny problem - it boots too slowly.
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MactelSupportTeam/AppleIntelInstallation states:
Avoid long EFI wait before GRUB If your Macbook spends 30 seconds with "white screen" before GRUB shows, try booting from your Mac OS X install disc, select language, then click Utilities->Terminal, and enter:
bless --device /dev/disk0s1 --setBoot --legacy
Assuming that the bootloader is on sda1, otherwise /dev/disk0s2 if it's on sda2, etc.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php...it_before_GRUB
But the problem in my case is that I do not have Mac OS X install disc and not usre if Apple gives such disks for the systems which are already out of waranty.
I wonder is there any other way to avoid this long EFI wait before GRUB?

Several ways to do this:
If you're getting several measurements, you could have the instrument generate an asynchronous interrupt (an "SRQ" in GPIB terms), then collect the data in response to the SRQ callback. While you're waiting for the SRQ's, you can have your main thread running the interface so responsive GUI. You don't have to spinlock on the GPIB read waiting for instrument data.
Or, as you mentioned, you could spawn a thread to manage the measurements, and use a timer in the main thread to periodically allow you to check the status of the measurement thread. Again, the main thread mostly just runs the user interface.
Either way, the idea is to keep the main thread freed up most of the time to run the GUI, and have it periodically check for completion of your measurement sequence. While you're waiting in the main thread, you may want to make sure the user can't inadvertently re-trigger another measurement sequence until the active one is complete.
If you do find yourself doing a dead wait, you'd want to break this up into a series of shorter waits, and in between each wait, do a ProcessSystemEvents from the main thread to keep the GUI active.

How long does mountain lion take to download?

On average how long does mountain lion take to download from the app store?

Always keep an eye on 'More like this', the column to the right of your initial post. You will often find answers and direct leads to your questions there.
In fact it relates to your ISP and the download speeds you have. I believe it is 4GB in size.

It's totally dependent on your broadband speed.
It took me about 45 minutes to download, but I have a reasonably fast connection.
It will often say in the purchased pane of the Mac App Store how much longer it will take.

What did the email say that confirmed your order? It states on there an expected delivery date. This is a user to user support forum, so no one here would really know when it would be delivered, only Apple would, and they do not participate in the forum.

Impossible to say - you must know that downloading speed is almost infinitely variable depending on your ISP, contract, and connection quality.
