HT1725 why can't I stream the friggin' thing? 3 hours to download a 45 minute show?

why can't I stream the TV show I want to watch and paid for? Why does it keep telling me it will take longer and longer to download this program? It started at 37 minutes and now it's up to 4 hours. And I see no progress. How can I stream it instead of downloading?

Dont know if i made it clear in the previous post, but it used to work with no problem, it's just recently that this has begun to be a problem.  could it be the latest updates that are causing the problem?  the only thing ive been doing differently is i've begun transfering my dvd collection to digital copies to stream through itunes.  the digital files are ones that itunes recognizes and worked before.  is it possible to have a library that is too large and slows down the streaming?  i tried using airplay last night, with the same results, the loading wheel just spins forever.  the AppleTV can find the itunes library, and all the files on it, but they just dont play.

  • HT4623 Why can't I Play the free games after I download them

    Why can't I get play the games after I download them?

    Why?
    Probably because Facebook Games on the website need Flash to run, and iPads don't natively support Flash.
    You may be able to find a Flahs supporting browser in the Appr Store. (Search for "flash browser"). Though support is not 100% for any of them, but maybe some of the games may work. 

  • Why can't I access the command line I just downloaded for xcode?

    Why I can't access the command line I just downloaded for xcode?

    Firefox will not appear in the Market for most phones with incompatible hardware. I believe the Motorola Bravo is supported. You can check if your phone is supported here:
    https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android
    On some supported devices, a bug prevents Firefox from appearing in the Market. This may be related to the recent Market update. You can go to Settings/Applications and uninstall the Market update, then find and install Firefox.
    Or, you can download the app directly from here:
    http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/mobile/releases/4.0b3/android-r7/multi/
    (Note: To download the app directly for an AT&T phone, you will have to search for instructions on how to "sideload" the APK file, since AT&T disables the option to install from non-Market sources.)

  • Why Can't VZ do the Right Thing For Once and Permit Network Extender Owners to Close their Networks?

    Given the fact that the Network Extender can be set for managed access or open access, clearly it can technologically be configured so that a closed network could be set up so that ONLY those users that are included in the "priority list" could access the Network Extender.
    If I had to guess, Verizon, prefers to benefit from your internet connection and your investment in a network extender by bolstering their network in poor reception areas for all of their customers in the vicinity on us Network Extender owners' backs rather than to do the right thing and permit a customer who has paid for the device as well as their internet access to close the network. 
    I find this sleazy and hope VZW will rethink its approach to this.  We who subscribe to VZW for our cellular service pay the highest rates, on average, in the country for cell service.  We have also paid hundreds of dollars for the Network Extender, and pay for the internet that is used to facilitate the phone calls made through the network extender.
    Once it a while it would be nice if VZW did the right thing for its customers and not blatantly, at least, put their corporate greed about the needs of their customers. 

    I called Verizon tech support, and was informed that there is an option to close the Network Extender. This would allow only numbers on the white list to connect to the extender. Is the information I received incorrect? I spoke to them just the other day. Have you tried to configure the extender recently?
    My post asking for clarification is here: https://community.verizonwireless.com/message/1002928#1002928
    Thanks for any information you can provide.

  • Why can I not check the 'shuffle images' box in a slide show settings in iPhoto 9.6?

    Why can I not check the 'Shuffle images' box in settings of a slide show in iPhoto 9.6? All other settings I can check but this one.

    Hey Brad,
    If you are unable to select the shuffle images checkbox, follow the steps in this article -
    iPhoto '11: Change slideshow settings
    Specifically -
    To display slides in random order, select “Shuffle slide order.” If you don’t see this option, play the slideshow, move the pointer to make the slideshow controls appear, and then click the Settings button.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Be well,

  • Why can I not disable the guest user in the 10.8.2 update? I have never enabled the guest user, but after the update, it was automatically enabled with a "managed" tag. It is not selectable even after entering my admin password to unlock the options.

    Why can I not disable the guest user in the 10.8.2 update? I have never enabled the guest user, but after the update, it was automatically enabled with a "managed" tag. It is not selectable even after entering my admin password to unlock the options. I was able to select the account under "parental controls", but again, could not delete it. Why Apple? Why?!!????

    SOLVED Ok. I actually was able to disable it. I had to actually log in as the guest user to make it accessible in the preference window. Then I disabled it and logged out. Apologies if this was obvious for some people, but I have had some sort of issue with something every update since Snow Leopard.

    I have an old iPod Touch with old software that can no longer be updated:
    iOS version 6.1.6
    I've been searching for a solution to my iMessage login problem for months and tried everything from those frustrating links and all the tips from other users.
    Here is what finally worked:
    1) Settings > Privacy > Location Services > On
    2) Settings > General > Date & Time > Set Automatically > On
    3) Reboot device until Apple logo appears
    4) Settings > Messages > Sign In

    Why can't I access the updated that are pending on my phone? I've turned the phone off and also closed all the apps. But still won't allow me to access the updates. Just a blank screen.

    Another post is reporting that applying the 6.1 update fixes their issue. I'll have to wait until I am back on WiFi to try that.
