HT4743 why is it taking freeking hours to load my purchased show from my computor onto apple tv?

why is it taking freeking hours to load my purchased show from my computor to my apple tv so i can watch it?

It shouldn't.
If internet playback is fine it's likely a problem with itunes or security software on teh computer as good internet playback performance would suggest the LAN is ok.
If you're seeing a spinning icon on AppleTV restart it, itunes andf your router - doesn't alweays work but often does.

  • 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.

  • Why is it taking 4 hours to sync my phone with Icloud, why is it taking 4 hours to sync my phone with Icloud

    Why is it taking 4 hours to sync my iphone with Icloud, when i only have 99 songs and about 15 apps?

    iCloud does not sync media and only backs up apps. Why do you believe it is taking 4 hours to sync?  Does the device actually say it is syncing?
    Is the device plugged into external power during this time?  If it is not, Wi-Fi is turning off and the device is reverting to the slower cellular network.

  • Why does it take 121 hours to load a movie on AppleTV?

    Why does it take 121 hours to load a movie on AppleTV? We are connected to Wifi with a good signal, but nothing seems to work well. We can play music for awhile, but then it just drops us.  Tried apple support, not available 'til tomorrow.  Purchased yesterday.
    Actually we watched the movie yesterday, and now it has to load again.  It's on the ipad and plays, no problem.  Want to watch it on the tv.  Any Thoughts?
    Ready to take it back.

    Apple TV has no accessible storage, it will need to load each time. The time it takes is dependent on your network.
    What is your current connection via speedtest.net
    Make sure DNS is set to auto (settings - general - network)
    The signal/network test on the device won't give a proper indication if there is a network issue. You will need to try ethernet to help rule that out, and it will also help to get a network report (istumbler, netstumbler or similar. It will show signal strength and noise as well as nearby networks)

  • Why does it take so long to load a tv show?

    why does it take so long to load a tv show or movie when i am connected to a wifi other than my home?

    Very probably because many devices are sharing the same Internet pipe and you're getting only a portion of the total capacity.
    I suggest that you obtain the free "SpeedTest" app and compare data rates at home and elsewhere.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Why does it take so long to stream a purchased or rented film to my apple tv

    Why does it take so long to stream a purchased or rented film to apple tv

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this atwww.speedtest.net.
    1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.

  • Why is it taking 3 hours to download trial version of photoshop, elements 10?

    I am trying to download trial version of Photoshop Elements 10 and it saya it will take 3 hours to download. Why does it take so long? I thought the days of long downloads were like the dinosaurs, a thing of the past.

    I am the author of above post, and I want adobe to be aware that I have uninstalled their product and will not be considering any products to be purchased from them. I spent several hrs. last night and all day today watching hour after hour of tutorials on the elements program and was still unable to complete a single project. I phoned support. Their return call was 3 hrs later than they said it would be and then they hung up before I even spoke to a CS rep.or support tech. You want the money, Adobe, but ypou don't want to put a user friendly program on the market, nor do want to make sure that sufficent support is out there for those of us brave enough or stupid enough to actually try to master your products. I WILL NOT, EVER, CONSIDER PURCHASING ONE OF YOUR PRODUCTS AGAIN. Just to get to a forum or tutoria, which are not thurough, takes a miricale and several hours.

  • Why is it taking 19 hours to encode four avi. files. I just bought a new 21" iMac last week and it is just to slow to use. Thanks

    I just bought a new 21" iMac last week and it is just to slow to use. Before it used to take a couple of hours now its just way too long

    Hi
    As I understands it - This has nothing to do with Your iMac - Any Mac would take the same time.
    May be OS and support on the Window-PC platform handles this better.
    • .avi - is no specific codec (file format) but a container and the codec in this might not be one that iDVD can directly use (encode to .mpeg2 as on DVD disks)
    So either it just can't do it - or -
    iDVD has to back-encode to an usably codec - THIS IS WHAT I THINK HAS HAPPENED
    This back-encoding can take serious time - AND the final result usually is far from Good.
    I would
    • find out in what codec the .avi file is (I use QuickTime and in this inspector to read what codec .avi contains) (.mov is also a container)
    • import it into a program that can transcode to a better codec for iDVD - streamingDV or AIC (I GUESS)
    • then use this in iDVD

  • Why is it taking 20 hours to download a movie from itunes?

    i just purchased a movie from itunes and it says that it will take around 20 hours to download, is that normal?

    Hi lacostejacket,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you are downloading a movie from iTunes and it gave you an estimated time of 20 hours to complete. Download times can vary depending on the size of the file and the speed of Internet connection. Please use the following article as a reference. It has a table that shows expected download times for certain speeds.

  • HT4972 Why is it taking 22+ hours to back up my iPad?

    I am trying to update my iPad and it is backing it up first....this process estimates 22 hours. I left it there for the 22 hours and it was not even half of the way done. There is not much info on the iPad as it belongs to my 5 year old son....any suggestions? Thanks!!

    It shouldn't take this long.  Close your iTunes and remove the device.
    Try this,
    Go to command Prompt -
    (Win 7/Vista) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
    (Win XP SP2 & above) - START/ALL PROGRAMS/ACCESSORIES/Command Prompt
    In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
    netsh winsock reset
    Hit "ENTER" key
    Restart your computer.
    After restarting, you may get a prompt to remap LSP, just click NO.
    Now launch your iTunes and Sync and see if it is working now.
