HT5731 Apple tv taking too long to download movie purchase. How to solve this?

Need help to speed up apple tv movies purchased on downloads

Hello Tammyek,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iTunes Store: Download times will vary
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1577
When you buy an item from the iTunes Store, the amount of time it takes to download your purchase will vary according to the file's size and your Internet connection speed.
Best of luck,
Mario

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Unfortunately you cannot re-download rentals, allow it to finish and enjoy it and consider the situation for further rentals.
    The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.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.

    Or connect to wifi.

    My Atv 2 is taking too long to download a rental movie

    This would be caused by your network.
    First I would check www.speedtest.net
    8mbps required for instant 1080P
    6mbps required for instant 720P
    You can change to SD in the settings if on a slower connection.

  • Ios 7 taking too long to download from iTunes

    Iam an iPad mini user.i am trying to download and update to ios7 software.but is taking too long(10 hours) and shows no sign of decrease.so what is the solution to this?

    It should not take so long.
    Try reset iPad and work from there.
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
    Note: Data will not be affected.

  • HT201611 how can i cancel a movie that i rented but is taking too long to download?

    How can I cancel a movie we ordered but is taking way too long to download?

    Netflix and similar services adapts to the connection. iTunes content is at a fixed rate and higher quality, a portion needs to load before playback begins. If it starts and then buffers throughout its because you don't have a stable network connection. ISP throttling can also be something to consider
    You can see your network status by getting a report istumbler, netstumbler oor similar. Look for signal strength, noise, nearby networks. Make sure router is up to date. You can also test on another network.
    Rentals are playing within 5 seconds, and without issue, on my system and for most

  • HT1689 It is taking way too long to download my purchase, what's going on?

    My tv program download is taking too long

    Your TV program may be huge ... like a gigabyte or so.  That could take a very long time to download, depending on your WiFi connection speed and quality.

  • HT4743 How do I get a refund on tv show that is taking TOO LONG TO DOWNLOAD?

    This is very frustrating not to be able to find out how to get a refund...I will not use itunes again to watch tv shows, too long of a download, Amazon zips along fine...

    Use that to complain to iTunes Store support.
    Do you know what kind of sustained internet speed you get?
    Apple shows work differently to some streaming services and don't adjust quality for a slower connection, but I appreciate it's frustrating.

  • Why is itunes taking so long to download movies

    My internet connection appears to be working great, but the movies are taking far too long....7 hrs for a 1.1GB movie

    I have noticed this on some TV episodes. Takes for ages and then suddenly speeds up. I think it must be at the Apple end because like you I have a fast internet connection. Guess we will just have to wait for Apple to fixit
    Use feedback to report it to apple as apple do not read these pages.

  • HT1657 I rented the movie with Ipad taking too long to download so want to download to desktop instead and I cant find it on my purchases where is the rented movie

    I have an Ipad tried to rent a movie was taking forever to download over an hour and didnt even load a 1/3 of the movie so i stopped it tried to hook up to my itunes and download that way but my account doesnt show the movie says its already been download

    You cannot. It is not like a purchase.  You cannot redownload at all.
    From the article you linked yourself:
    If you download a rented movie on your iPhone 4 or later, iPad, iPod touch (4th generation or later), or Apple TV: It is not transferable to any other device or computer."

  • Lion internet recovery is taking too long to download

    Alright, I'm trying to install Windows 7 with Boot Camp (I'm new to Mac, but I can pick it up fast)
    Now, it said I had to repair the disk, I downloaded the repair disk, booted up from USB, and it couldn't repair, it said it had to format.
    Now it formatted, and it's downloading it (Lion OS X) again as I didn't go into the recovery HD
    Now, my problem is that it's taking quite a long time to install it. My guess is that it's trying to verify everything as well as download the OS and it's not really updating the "time remaining". It's slowly going down, but is there anything else that I need to know? Because once this has done, I will be going back to step one with Boot Camp to install Windows 7.

    Any tips?
    Next month Lion will be available on a USB drive (with a FULL installer).  I would wait for that, or perhaps a DVD coming out later.

    I hae a Macbook Air 11 inch middle 2012
    Sorry my bad english

    If you are comfortable using network packet capture tools (like wireshark), you can try running that and see the actual network packets flow back and forth. This should help you analyze what the issue might. Do other downloads work properly?
