HT1577 why is this iTunes movie downloading taking over 3 hours already?

-- and saying 25 MORE hours until download is complete? Is there a way to speed up the process? Is it my laptop that is the problem? We have broadband so that shouldn't be the problem. Thank you!

This is ridiculous...
I have BT Infinity 2 Fibre Optic Broadband with over 40Mbs download speed,
I have closed all internet accessing applications ie. Safari, Mail
and yet over 3 hours to download a single movie.
Come on Apple what's going on? Are you a victim of your own success?

  • My purchased movies are taking over an hour to load.  Why?

    Apple TV is telling me (suddenly) that my purchased movies will take over an hour to load and play.  This literally started happening 10 minutes into a movie.  It's never taken more than 10 seconds to load in the past.  My internet connection is up and working normally.  Why would this start happening so suddenly?

    Power cycle the ATV and router then try again.

  • ITunes movie downloads taking long time to download

    iTunes has been "downloading" Transformers Dark of the Moon for 1 hr still shows no progress.  I have internet connection What do I need to do?

    I have been having the same issue.  I am not willing to delete all of the apps necessary to make room for the update, so I plugged my phone in to use iTunes to download.  I have tried it several times and each time that I plug the phone in to see if the download is going to go through, it always says at least 15 and sometimes up to 36 hours for the download.  I obviously, like many others, don't have that kind of time to wait.  What is going on?  Are their servers that backlogged from all the requests?  Why is this download taking that long?  It's really frustrating!
    I have thought maybe I just should wait a week and see what happens... by then they should be able to work through all the kinks.  

  • Why is time machine lagging and taking over 8 hours to backup?

    Hi,
    I have a 15" Macbook Pro (Mid 2012) running 10.8.5.
    I started a time machine back up last night before going to bed - the dialogue box said it estimated 3 hours to complete...
    8 HOURS later and it's still backing up. It's showing "about 5 seconds" and has been for about 15 minutes. There's still about 20 GB left and it's hardly chipping away at it.
    Can anyone tell me why this might be happening? This machine is relatively new and it's my first time backing up to time machine on this particular machine but never had any problem with my previous Macbook Pro.
    Any help would be great. Here's a screenshot if it helps...
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your reply AIRoRo.
    Is there meant to be an actual setting specifically for time machine in Energy Saver? That's how I understood your reply.
    Or I misunderstoo that then, I presume I should untick "put hard disks to sleep when possible"? each time I back up?
    Although I never had to tick / untick this box each time I backed up in the past.
    Here's a screenshot of my settings:

  • ITunes movie download won't sync to iTouch - please help!

    I'm sure this question has popped up before. My apologies to those who are irritated by seeing it again.
    I downlaoded a couple of movies from iTunes. I can see them in my Movies library. However, when I sync my iPod Touch they don't transfer so I can watch them. I would never have bought (not rented) them if I can only view them on my laptop. The Apple site goes to great lengths to say it is so simple, download a movie, music or more and simply sync your iPod! Sorry, but that just isn't happening here. What do I need to do to get an iTunes movie to play on my iPod Touch! Help!!!

    I have to be honest, I simply downloaded two flicks from iTunes and they are older - not likely HD. The first, National Lampoon's Van Wilder is the one I tried to sync several times. The second, Waiting, won't work either. I can play both on the laptop but not the iTouch.
    I have spent hours looking for answers to this problem. iTunes sells movies to us and promises that they will work on our iPods. Why not simply sell them in a format that allows that? Apple people...answers???
    I located a YouTube video that shows a third party software program that supposedly transfers movie files to iTouch compatible files. The sample showed a file being done but it did not come from iTunes. When I tried to do this, iTunes movies are not shown as files that can be accessed by the program. This is ridiculous.

  • Closed Caption Features for iTune Movie Downloads?

    While I was glad to see that Apple plans to offer a movie download service with the iTunes Store, I'm still inclined to NOT use the service if there's no assurance that closed captioned/subtitled movies will be available as well.
    Will iTunes Movie downloads include captioned media?
    Today's DVDs all have features enabling us to turn on captions/subtitles and it's already a shame that Netflix, according to a representative's comment made nearly two years ago, will not provide captioned movies "until the near future"...
    I hope Apple takes its hearing-impaired (deaf and hard of hearing) customer base into consideration...and it IS a sizeable customer base.

    The question on the minds of the millions of deaf and hard of hearing people is whether Apple will make or enable captioning for their downloadable movies. I blogged about this a few weeks ago at HearingExchange online here: http://www.hearingexchange.com/blogs/?p=93 Apple didn't consider people with hearing loss when they made their iPhone non-compatible with hearing aids and cochlear implant processors. For a technology company, they aren't keeping up with accessibility trends. This is both disheartening and disappointing for people who struggle to participate socially and professionally on a daily basis with the world at large.

  • Why is installing 3 applications from a creative cloud packager taking over an hour?

    Dear Adobe community,
    I am trying to install 3 Creative Cloud applications, (Illustrator, photoshop, and indesign) on a Windows 7 Hpz420 workstation from a USB hard drive and it is taking over an hour to complete.  i created a package of the 3 applications using the CC packager and move the package over to a USB drive.  Then I start the installer exe it runs and completes, but the installation takes over an hour and 1/2.  My installation of Creative Suite 5.5 from a similar USB hard drive was much quicker, about 1/2 hour.
    I don't want to use a remote installer like AAMEE. Is there a different way to create a package that is more efficient? I also don't want to redown the applications everytime I need to install them on a machine and utilize my network bandwidth.
    Is this normal ?  I have rebuilt the package with the same results and have installed CC on two different machines with the same results.  I did not see anything in the forums about the installation being so slow so I am concern that I have missed something or that my results are not normal.
    Your help is appreciated.

    My "Gaming" computer (Toshiba Qosmio X-70A, w/ 32GB RAM, i7 Intel processors @2.7 Ghz, w/ 250GB SSD, 750GB high-speed 7,200 RPM primary & 1TB SSD/HD hybrid drive) was purchase specifically, by me, to learn & use the Adobe "Cloud" Apps with.  This computer is a beast. <And - yet> it takes me days, literally <DAYs> to download all the apps I am using/studying.
    I (last week) recently had my 1st "total meltdown" w/ Win 8.1-Pro (what a total P.O.S. "OS" this is!) & have faced the daunting task of re-installing ALL of the Adobe SW available over the "Creative Cloud". This will take days (w/ a direct DSL link to a Cat-6 cable; not on Wi-Fi) to "re-install" all the "Creative Cloud" software I was learning/working with. Insane. I have never seen anything like this!
    So, "DLi" - I agree! Adobe's SW (& HW) Engineers don't give a stuff about your time nor mine.
    The only things that are of importance to them are (#1 - "Keeping their jobs") ... metering out their "Creative Cloud" in a manner which allows them to investigate EVERY byte on your computer/server/device BEFORE allowing you to use it . . . (hmmm....I do wonder how many dollars per month that information is worth to the NSA / per seat)?) ... and making it "a nightmare" for the user.
    What an insult!
    What an horrific slap in the face to each & every one of Adobe's "Creative Cloud" paying customers! (Uhhhm, that'd be you and that'd be me, too).

  • Help... Have ate in living room & bedroom & I could works fine on iPhone4 as well as ipad2 wifi. I have home sharing enabled on all but when I rented a movie it was all good & charged but the download took over 24 hours & only in the bedroom.... Please he

    Help... Have ate in living room &amp; bedroom &amp; I could works fine on iPhone4 as well as ipad2 wifi. I have home sharing enabled on all but when I rented a movie it was all good &amp; charged but the download took over 24 hours &amp; only in the bedroom.... Please help

    The remote app can either automatically find libraries available on a network (with home sharing available) or if you haven't got home sharing enabled, you can manually pair an itunes library with the remote app (using a number that is generated by the app and then typed into the itunes library).
    That is why I am so confused, as it seems to be the home sharing that is the problem!
