HT1390 movie download is taking forever 10 hours

Itune movie rental take a long time to download 10 + hours

Mountain Lion is a 4GB download.  If your connection isn't very fast, it will take a long time to download.
On a most budget/economy broadband plans (768Kbps-1.5Mbps), it will take 7-15 hours to download.  Once it's downloaded, it will take another 30-45 minutes to install.

  • Trying to restore 2nd gen nano...but download is taking forever / hanging..

    I just moved from XP to Mac. I got my library moved from the XP to Mac via ethernet connection (very easy). I deauthorized my XP and authorized the Mac..easy again.
    Now, I plugged the nano into the Mac via USB and it re-loaded my library, but it is still formated for Windows.
    So, I clicked Restore and it began to download the software (whatever software that is) to get it back to factory default. For a 20MB file, this took close to 30min (that was annoying) on a cable modem..that doesn't sound right. Once it hit 20MB it kept going..I finally killed the download when it hit just over 24MB.
    What the heck is going on? I just want to restore and get my nano formated to Mac.
    Any ideas??

    Thanks, but you don't happen to know anything else about this, do you?
    Also, I've now realised it was pointless trying to update my iPod, for I've now found-out that the 2G can't be updated past 4.2.1 (or something) anyway >_>

  • Apple TV taking 25 hours to download a movie from purchase in iTuntes library. Worse, I only have 24 hours to watch?

    Apple TV taking 25 hours to download a movie from purchase in iTuntes library. Worse, I only have 24 hours to watch? Anyone help why this is happening?

    How fast is your internet - sounds as though it's 1Mbps or less?
    For HD movies 6Mbps is needed for near instant playback.
    AppleTv has to prebuffer much of the movie to allow uninterrupted playback if you have <6Mbps, how long this takes depends on the average connection speed - at 3.5 Mbps currently it takes around 40 mins for mine to buffer HD whereas Sd is near instant to play.
    AppleTV2 has limited memory and using it to do other tyhings while a rental is prebuffering can flush any downloaded protion requiring you to start again from scratch - it can be better to rent in iTunes then once it's fully downloaded play on AppleTV under Computers>iTunes library>Rentals column.

  • HT1349 I have a laptop computer with Windows 7, powered intel core i7. I am trying to download a  purchased movie from ITunes. I am on wifi g.  Why is it taking 17 hours to download a simple movie? This is nuts!

    Question:  Why when downloading a purchased movie from ITunes does it take 8 to 17 hours to download?  I have an HP Laptop with Windows 7 using a core processer i7.  This is the second day to try to get the movie downloaded and I still cannot watch this movie.  Seems like a problem with ITunes or a scam. I use a IPhone 4 with little issues, But when using this lap top -- it is a joke.

    First thing to do is get the CC off your system.  Then try the direct download option linked below...
    You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

  • HT1498 Why is it taking 8 hours to download a rented movie?

    Why is it taking 8 hours to load a rented movie on ITV?

    Winston,
    Converted HD movies for Apple TV are not more than 2.5MB stream in HD. Apple TV gen 1 wa capable of 5Mbit with less FPS, but not newer once. Where did you get 6 and 8Mbit from?
    There is no need for that fast stream (sorry buddy but I work with streams quite a bit).
    The problem could be not a speed, but crowdeed networks. If one uses WiFI on 2.4 GHz then in crowded areas you have issue of too many overlapping WiFI networks and time sharing channels. Only three channels in WiFi band 2.4GHz do not overlap, but there are still shared by neigbors.
    That is the reason I run 5GHz Wirless-N as the only one in my neigborhood. No channel overlaps, no choppy network, no choppy movies.
    That may not be an issue of stream speeds. Just ADSL 3Mbit would be fine. Trust me as I had that for long time with Apple TV before I switched to FiOS.
    Apple TV is equipped with enough memory to buffer almost entire H.264 encoded High Definition movie so only start could be delayed if network is slower, but not by 8 hours.
    Another possibility is that Apple network is busy which I experienced quite a bit in the past especially on Friday and Saturday evenings. Rentals that time were menace.

  • My e mail is taking forever to download.

    My e mail is taking forever to download. It comes through fine on my i phone via the same wireless router. It is showing the amount of e mails being downloaded, I know there are no large files in there. Its as if something is blocking or slowing down the download. The rest of the computer works fine, as does outgoing mail. Any clues anyone?

    Has the unit EVER been jailbroke?  Has it EVER been dropped?  Did it EVER get excessively wet?  Did you EVER load a pirated developer's version of the IOS?
    If "No" to all the above, first try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • HT1657 I rented the movie with Ipad taking too long to download so want to download to desktop instead and I cant find it on my purchases where is the rented movie

    You cannot. It is not like a purchase.  You cannot redownload at all.

  • Rental Movie Download Speed Changed from 25 minutes to 10 hours

    Two days ago I download two rental movies and each took about 25 minutes. Today I tried to download another rental movie and it is taking forever. If it continues at this speed, it will take about 10 days to download. My ISP is fine, I have checked my download speed and its 6.6MBps and I have not installed anything new on my PC. Please help.

    I've had a few like that myself.
    1. Right click on the download and chose 'Delete'. This is not ideal.
    2. Get Apple tech support on live chat and have them 'nuke' it.
    That should also get you back your money.

  • Exporting movie taking 10 hours

    Hi I have a Canon HV30 HD camcorder. I have about an hour long of HD footage and it is taking FOREVER to export. If I export using "Quicktime Movie", the file comes out to being around 32 GIGAbytes, far too big for any practical use, but exports very quickly. If I export using "Using Quicktime Conversion", it takes MUCH longer, and I have yet to see how large the file will be because it is still exporting!! (I started it at around 3pm... it's 9:15 right now, and it is only at 45% and says it should be done in about 7 more hours...?!?!?!?!).
    Obviously, I must be doing something wrong. Why is it taking soooooooooo long to export? I honestly don't mind waiting a while for things to export... but approximately 14+ hours for ONE video? There must be some mistake.
    When I use quicktime conversion, the only setting I am changing is the Data rate and I am setting it to 4,000. I noticed that if I leave it on the default, final cut express exports the videos on such a high bit rate that other computers can barely even play the video because it is too much for the video cards to handle (my macbook pro can just barely play it, let only older pcs. the video shows up all choppy on the pcs) The bit rate comes to around 20,000 or something like that when its on the default which is why I set it to 4,000.
    Does it have something to do with that as to why it is taking so long? Please help! I need to export these videos, but the time it's taking to export is far too long and I don't have that much time to wait for my computer.
    Help? =))))

    Choosing the right export method depends on your intended destination (use) of the exported video. You apparently shot HD with your HV30, and in that case 1 hour of video will take somewhere between 25GB-50GB of disk space. So, your 32GB file is not unusual.
    If you intend to export the video to iDVD, then you should export to QuickTime Movie and UNcheck the option called "Make Movie Self-Contained". This will give you a very small file that will export quickly. You can then import it into iDVD and you are on your way. DO NOT use QuickTime Conversion if you are sending your video to iDVD.
    If you intend to export your video for other purposes, such as posting to a website, then QuickTime Conversion is generally the choice (eg. to create an H.264 or HPEG4 file). However there are many settings in QT Conversion and depending on what you choose, the exported file could well be very big and take hours & hours to export. The export time can also be affected by having a disk drive that is too full (say, more than 50% full or having less than 50GB free), you are running other apps, etc).
    One other thing, and this is very important. Before you export from FCE, you should always do the following:
    *Sequence > Render All > Both*
    *Sequence > Render Only > Mixdown*
    Then save your project. Then export. This will speed up your export times and help ensure good quality in the resulting video.
    The big questions are ... what is the nature of your source video clips; what are your sequence settings; did you render everything; and what is the intended use for your exported video?

  • HT202159 how long should an upgrade to Mountain Lion take? Our original download was interrupted by power outage and now seems to be taking forever.

    How long should an upgrade to Mountain Lion take? Our original download was interrupted by power outage, it seems to be taking forever.

    Update2: There is something very wrong with wireless on mountain lion recovery. I don't know what the problem is, but this link may explain:
    http://osxdaily.com/2012/08/10/os-x-mountain-lion-10-8-1-beta-released-for-dev-t esting-may-include-wi-fi-fix/
    Wireless recovery would start out with over 25 hours estimated and kept on failing. It turns out to be a two step process of downloading a few Mbytes then a 4Gbyte .dmg file, but I couldn't even download the Mbyte file. I bought the thunderbolt to gigabit ethernet adapter, plugged it in, restarted recovery and download of a little more than 4Gbytes took less than an hour. My limiting factor was probably comcast home internet rate of 12Mbps. The wi-fi wireless connection should be able to do over 100Mbps, so wireless shouldn't be much slower than wired, except wi-fi wireless is broken. Now that ML is installed and updated, wi-fi seems fine now, as I am using it right now, but I haven't tried downloading a big file yet.
    Don't use wi-fi wireless for Mountain Lion recovery.

  • HT201272 downloading a movie to IPad taking 24hrs how can you speed it up?

    Downloading a movie purchase from ITunes store to Ipad3 is taking 24 hours. How can you speed it up?

    First, try resetting your device. Press and hold both the home button and the sleep/wake button for about 10 seconds, until the screen turns off. Ignore the slider that will appear. Release the buttons, then press and hold the sleep/wake button until the Apple logo appears. This is the equivalent of a reboot, and should not affect your data or apps.
    If that doesn't help, try restoring your device from backups, and if that doesn't help, restore it to factory settings (ie, do not restore a backup). See:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    If none of that helps, the issue is caused by some kind of hardware problem, and the device will need to be repaired or (more likely) replaced.

  • I have like five GB's of ghost data (data the device claims is not there but it is still taking up space) on my I pad 2 from a failed movie download attempt. How do I fix that with out resting my iPad? I have only 1GB left of storage

    I have like five GB's of ghost data (data the device claims is not there but it is still taking up space) on my I pad 2 from a failed movie download attempt. How do I fix that with out resting my iPad? I have only 1GB left of storage
    The movie had gotten to the point that I could watch it all the way through but it still said processing and got stuck at that point and when I turned off the wifi to try to restart it, it deleted its-self but did not free up any of the storage It was taking up
    Restarting my iPad does not help
    Some thing similar also happened to my old laptop when trying to download the iOS 5 update to my laptop when it came out. It kept getting disconnected and every time it would try to start over and act like what had already been downloaded was not there though it was still taking up the storage space.
    And it continued repeating until it took up all of my storage space. The data file would not show up anywhere so I had to restore my laptop to the factory settings and that worked for awhile but I eventually had to get a new laptop.

    Did you try to set it up as new device, as explained in this article?
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    If this does not work, use iTunes to set it back to factory settings, which would also install the latest software:
