HT1577 iTunes download times

Sometimes I find download times on iTunes are almost instantaneous. I press download and a few seconds later iTunes asks if I want to play the movie or TV episode. Then I play it. Other times it is much, much slower. Like a half hour to for an hour program. The demands on my internet are the same on both occasions. What gives?

What web browser are you using for the download, Ltoko? Does it make any difference if you use IE (say) rather than Firefox, or vice versa?

ITunes download times RIDICULOUSLY long

It's 7pm in Paris and I thought I'd try out an iTunes movie rental for this evening after dinner. Fat chance. Clicked 'rent' and now iTunes is telling me it will take 5 HOURS to download the movie. Mind you, I just did a Speed Test and my current download capability is 14.07mbps.
Has anyone figured out any solution/explanation for this or is it just Apple's servers? A 5-hour download time is ABSURD for a 2-hour movie!

PS I'm not even downloading the HD version...

HT1577 iTunes download speeds

I have 20mb/sec download service, and can download from 'anywhere' at that speed, except iTunes. iTunes runs about 1mb/sec. Are the iTunes servers that slow?

Also experiencing slow iTunes download tonight - have not had this issue previously.
I am also staring at a "Waiting..." badge for an iPad app to update, so perhaps there are performance issues ith AppStore also.
My Internet speed/connection is great ATM, except for iTunes/AppStore.
I'm located in Texas fwiw.

Itunes download times out

Just purchased the new my chemical romance album, and the itunes store didnt want to download the 4th song, but got all the others done, so i re-check for purchases and it starts downloading until it hits 1.0 mb, then the download count-down timer just goes up and the download speed goes down until it finally just tells me it timed out, its done it all day, i thought maybe it was something wrong with the itunes store and they would realize it and fix it but now its night and i did this at like 6 in the morning, so it must be something else wrong, i paid for this album and i cant get it all, someone please help.
thx

Itunes downloading time issue

when i download new music,tv shows,updates,etc and every time the time it shows when downloading the item always says like 10 minutes and then it goes to like 15 minutes and then back to 10 minutes and so on. how can i fix that.
thanks in advance

Bummer, sounds like it might be some bug, then, if itunes 7 is OK.
How about your import settings - are you using MP3, AAC, AIFF, or what?
If MP3, are you using VBR?
Does it work with any other import setting, so you could report it to Apple?

HT1577 Why am I experiencing long download times for an HD movie rental from itunes?

I have been experiencing long download times for movie rentals from itunes (this time 11 hours). I have even tried to use ethernet, turn off simultaneous downloads, and shut down my browser, to speed up the time but that didn't help. My internet download speed is about 7mbps. Any suggestions?

Apple TV/iTunes movie download times

Have had Apple TV for over 2 years but in the last several months, when I rent a movie from iTunes, it takes over 2 hours for the movie to download. This was never the case in the past. It used to just take moments. I have changed NOTHING within my system, nor do I feel I should have to. Could someone explain to me why this is happening? I also use Apple TV to stream my Netflix movies...no lag time at all with those.
It does tell me that I would it to download faster I should change the resolution in "settings". Well, why the **** would I want to do that? And whay suddenly have to do this? Kind of ruins the reason for having a high end SONY flat screen.
Open to ideas.
Kindest regards~

My iPhone 4S will not sync to iTunes. I've download the newest version of iTunes several times but when plugging my phone in it says "The iPhone cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later."

My iPhone 4S will not sync to iTunes. I've download the newest version of iTunes several times but when plugging my phone in it says "The iPhone cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 10.6.3 or later." HELP!

If you're using Windows try uninstalling iTunes and all of its components as by following this guide exactly: Windows XP or Windows Vista/7, then reinstall the latest version of iTunes. You must follow this guide exactly or it will not be successful. Note: uninstalling iTunes will only remove the application; it will not touch your iTunes library or data.

I cannot get my ipod touch or iphone to be recognized by Itunes on my mac mini. Only when i download itunes each time afresh, will it show up the first time. Then these devices will not be recognized at other times. Is it because i am not uninstalling it

I cannot get my ipod touch or iphone to be recognized by Itunes on my mac mini. Only when i download itunes each time afresh, will it show up the first time. Then these devices will not be recognized subsequently. Is it because i am not uninstalling itunes before I download it? Surely this is a basic thing, ie that my devices need to recognize each other?

After you dry the iPod:
How to fix a wet iPod or iPhone | eHow.comfix-wet-ipod-iphone.html
Connect the iPod to a charging source overnight and then try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Why do app downloads time out? iTunes 10.6.3.25

I have VZW FiOS, running iTunes 10.6.3.25 on Windows 7 and everytime I download app updates to iTunes they time out - it does not matter if there is 1 app, 3, 30, or more - I find I'm constantly clicking on dialog boxes and the "resume all" button in the downloads window. This is the only progra. Using the same connection on my iPhone they do not time out. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Okay I waited 2 weeks and in that time I had one multiple app download session where I disabled my firewall and still had the issue so I reenabled my firewall. I'm in the process of downloading a total of 48 app updates and thus far it has not kicked out the error. This is telling me that the issue was on Apple's end and it appears to be fixed. I'll give it one more multi-app download session. Thanks for the help and the suggestions.

TS1363 Trying to load my new Ipod Nano onto my pc. Have tried numerous times to load however after having gotten the ITunes download and attempting 2then load onto Nano get an "Error 2" message along w/"Apple Application Support was not found". Using Win

Trying to load my new I Pod Nano onto my pc. Have tried numerous times and keep getting same message..."Error 2...Apple Application Support was not found. When I look at my control panel the only program that shows is "I Tunes". No other supporting programs are showing up in the control panel nor the Common Files nor in the Program Files (x86).
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

When I look at my control panel the only program that shows is "I Tunes". No other supporting programs are showing up in the control panel nor the Common Files nor in the Program Files (x86).
That's an extreme case of this.
We'll try doing standalone installations of all the supporting programs.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR suitable for your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version):
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Doubleclick the AppleMobileDeviceSupport.msi (or AppleMobileDeviceSupport64.msi) to do a standalone Apple Mobile Device Support install.
Doubleclick the AppleSoftwareUpdate.msi to do a standalone Apple Software Update install.
Doubleclick the Bonjour.msi (or Bonjour64.msi) to do a standalone Bonjour install.
Do those four installs go through okay? If so, does your iTunes launch without any errors now?
