Downloading purchased movie stopped downloading and disappeared, why?

Downloading purchased movie stopped downloading and disappeared, why?

Look for a folder called "Downloads" in your iTunes Music folder. If there is such a folder, look for files that would be the partial download and delete those, so that the download starts over from the beginning. Then try again using the "Check for Purchases" command under the iTunes Store menu.
If that doesn't work and the problem persists, contact the iTunes Store customer support department through the form at the bottom of their web page and explain the problem to them.
Good luck.

Thanks for the pointers folks. Yeah, 1.5GB is pretty poor isn't it? There are other suppliers, but you have to get a their phone line installed to access the internet so it's an £85 setup fee plus a day off work for a guy to come round and drill a hole in your wall before you even get to the monthly costs.
Don't get me wrong though - I'm certainly not an Apple basher, but am equally frustrated with both them and the ISP.
Virgin Media spend all kinds of money advertising their broadband as the fastest in the UK, but don't tell you (up front anyway) that you'll be cut off if you actually try and use it.
Apple on the other hand carry on with their 'it just works' mantra, but with Apple TV this only applies if you meet certain criteria (again, not mentioned up front).
I guess it aint a biggie, as i was gifted my Apple TV, and love all the other stuff it does, but from the number of posts on this forum can see that there's a lot of angry customers out there who want explanations as to why they're having similar problems to me.
Will be very interesting to see if Apple release any kind of software update that turns the flash drive from a buffer to permanent storage, to at least ease some of the pain...

Why materialized view taking hours and yet not created

hi,
i am trying to create the following MV
create materialized view MV1
force on demand
start with date 1 next date2
AS
select query 1--> complex query that return approcimately 2 millions rows
union all
select query2 --> complex query that returns 300K rowsit has been taking hours i.e > 4 hrs and still unable to create the MV
w/o the create materialized view statement i am able to return the results from the union of the 2 queries
what might be the possibility ?
tks & rdgs

Issue could be due to the complexity of your query..Even i faced the same issue when i worked on materialized views.It was taking too long to create materialized view and then we splitted the query and created two materialized views.
Finally created a View for those MV's.You can also try the same
Materialized View Log
When you create a materialized view using the FAST option you will need to create a view log on the base tables.A fast refresh uses materialized view logs to update only the rows that have changed since the last refresh.
When DML changes are made to the master table's data, Oracle stores rows describing those changes in the materialized view log and then uses the materialized view log to refresh materialized views based on the base table. This process is called an incremental or fast refresh.Without a materialized view log, Oracle must reexecute the materialized view query to refresh the materialized view. This process is called a complete refresh.Usually, a fast refresh takes less time than a complete refresh.

It sometimes takes hours to download a movie from the itunes store. Thoughts to speed this thing up?

The download time depends on the speed of your Internet connection.

Why is there a black box on the movie i downloaded?

I downloaded a movie from iTunes with my first gen Apple TV and there was a black box - about 1.5x3-inches - that NEVER went away. Tried re-starting the movie, re-starting the TV, re-starting Apple TV. No dice. Anyone else had this problem?

Where would any downloaded rental movies be downloaded to on my iPad? Just spent over $40 in data top ups and nearly two days trying to a. Download a purchased movie and b. find the movie on my iPad.

I bought this iPad (think it is an iPad 2 not actually sure, a about a few months ago. Yesterday I decided to go on iTunes store and purchase a rental movie which cost approx $6 NZD. After about 2 hours I ran out of data and the movie hadn't even downloaded halfway so I purchased more data thinking another Gb would do. Then i got a message from itunes that my ipad didnt have enough storage so i went into settings and dleeted apps and docs (apparently also deleted from icloud too) to make room for the movie. Now after purchasing another 7GB of data at over three times the cost of the rented movie it finally finished downloading and I had enough space on my iPad. But now I can't find the actual movie...I go to iTunes to purchases and view movies , to downloads and searched the title of the movie...I can see an icon of it and it is in a separate place from other purchases but it says downloaded in faded lettering. Where is it? Why have I just wastednearlyb$50 just tying to download and watch one measly movie! It is obviously some secret formula or thing I've missed...it shouldn't be so hard! The day before this I successfully downloaded a song I purchased and can listen to with no probs. do I need another app to store downloaded movies or something?

But now I can't find the actual movie...I go to iTunes to purchases and view movies , to downloads and searched the title of the movie...I can see an icon of it and it is in a separate place from other purchases but it says downloaded in faded lettering. Where is it?
If you can't find the movie you downloaded on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, check inside your Videos App

Does anyone know why it is taking hours to download an OS7 upgrade? i have fast FIOS connection and my connectivity is excellent at the moment.

Seems beyond strange. I have tried multiple times over the last 24 hours and am still getting the same horribly poor performance. Please help!

Forget the iPhone for a moment.
Will Sprint unlock any phone purchased from them to be used on another carrier? If the answer is no, why should an iPhone be any different?
That being said, the 4S is a world phone meaning it has GSM and CDMA antennas. The iPhone 4 is not.. it is either CDMA (Sprint/Verizon/Cricket) or GSM (AT&T, any number of European carriers, unlocked).
I have never personally known a CDMA carrier to "unlock" a device they sell to allow it to work on another network. Both Sprint and Verizon will unlock the GSM portion of the 4S for International only use.
That $800+ dollar new phone you purchased still works perfectly fine as an iPod touch once off contract or can be sold to another Sprint user to recoup some of your investment.
In the end, it is a decision you have to make as to whether it is financially worthwhile to you to purchase a new phone every year. If you can afford it financially and determine that it is worthwhile to you, then do so. Otherwise, do like millions of others and wait until you are eligible for the subsidized pricing or enjoy your device for as long as you can until it finally dies or becomes too "slow" to use. My 3GS is still running strong after 3+ years and my partner uses it daily as his primary phone/media player.

Why is it taking so long for me to update/download to the newest release of iTunes?

I have tried restarting my computer several times, and whenever I click to update my software, it says that it is going to take over 2,000 hours. What am I doing wrong? I am not very computer/Apple savy.

You might have a slow connection, that's an awful lot of time.

HT1657 Do I have to wait for a rented movie to download before playing?

I seem to need to wait for my rented movie to fully download before playing. Is this normal? I would have expected once the download has begun, for playing the movies to be possible. Any advice?

Nope. If they have them in stock, then you can get one, and if they don't, try again later. No list.

Rented Movie Taking Hours on iTunes...Can I Just Cancel and Switch to Apple TV?

I just rented a movie on iTunes. It is taking some 3 hours to download the HD version. I also have ApplyTV and would like to just start watching the stream. It seems my only options are to rent the movie AGAIN on Apple TV, or wait 3 hours for the HD movie to download. Yes, I have high-speed cable Internet, good connections, etc.

You will need to wait for it to FULLY download to iTunes before it appears in teh rentals row under Computers>iTunes, unless possibly it says it's ready to watch on the computer and you can push Airplay it to AppleTV.

Why is it taking 3 hours to download new iOS 8.1.3 software?

what's going on?? 3 hours to download update to my mac? why is it taking so long. is it really that big of an update or should have I just downloaded directly to my phone and not to my computer as I have done for all other iOS updates?

What is your internet speed? The update is approx 3 GB and took ~ 27 minutes on my 10 megabit connection. This has a lot to do with how long it takes to download something. Network traffic will affect this as well. If too many people are trying to download the same thing at the same time, throughput will slow down. If the download is taking too long, possibly start it before heading to bed.

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.
