  • How long does it take to download a movie from iTunes? Approximately?

    Just curious. Before I start buying movies I need to know how long it takes to download them to my iPad.  I know it may depend on my wifi but what's the approx amount of time? 

    They should allow you to watch as it's downloading.  I would think with technology these days it wouldn't be that hard to allow us to do this.  I could have gone to the store and rented the movie in less time it takes to download this thing. 

  • HT1498 How long does it take to download a @#$@#% movie!  It has been at it for over an hour.  Seriously?  Who has hours to wait around BEFORE watching a movie?  It now says 2 hours 4 minutes.  Unbelievable!  This is the worst way to rent movies!

    I see you keep saying that vazandrew on different forums, but there is more going on here than dns settngs and available bandwidth..
    i have my dns settings set to the local isp. get 8mbps through speed test.. more often than not i can download an HD movie immediately, and SD movie has no issues at all..
    But tonight.. even though as i write this i have disabled all other devices on my network and am still getting my 8mbps downlod from speed test.. Ive just paid for Pacfic Rim.. it played immediately, but got to 46 minutes, and simply stopped.. i backed out resumed play and it bounced to 9 hours before i can watch.. i reset my modem/router, restarted the apple tv and its now currently sitting on 106 hours..
    my guess is it's the akamai network doing something stuipid.. this is a regular occurence and if you look deep enough, many people complain of the same issue...
    the worst thing about apple is i cant get a refund.. the second worst thing about apple even though im a huge fan, there is absolotely no point me writing this because apples first point of call is to blame the end user and other enviromental factors, meanwhile covering their own ***.. I've spent the last 18 years of my work life building and supporting IT/IS infrastructure.. so im not a dumb ***.. this is an apple issue, plain and simple.. maybe time to switch to amazon or azure.

  • How long does it take to download a movie with a 2 Mb/sec connection speed?

    I will shortly be returning back to the UK after a number of years in India where we have a slow internet connection. I will need to sign up for a new ISP and want to choose carefully what kind of contract I buy. Downloads on my current speed ( never more than 170kbps) are impractically slow so I was wondering what I could expect with a faster connection. For instance, how long would it take to download a movie or TV show, and what about the large software updates. To update to 10.4.10 took all night here!

    Take a look at this page:
    iTunes Store: Download times for purchases will vary
    It should give you an idea as to what sort of download times you can expect.

  • HT5437 how long does it take to download the ios software

    how long does it take to download the ios software

    Depends how fast your internet it and the size of the update - used to take 10-15 mins for me on around 4 Mbps but I could sear some updates have been faster recently so maybe they've been incremental update not the whole software package.

  • How long does it take to download ios 7 over-the-air for iphone 5?

    How long does it take to download ios 7 over-the-air for iphone 5?

    It totally depends. The servers are getting slammed. Bunch of people trying to download at the same time.
    Anecdotally, it took me about 20 minutes.
    Give it time, keep trying, should eventually work.
    Ways you can maybe speed it up - use iTunes, get off wifi and do a hard connection via ethernet.

  • How long does it take to download and install Yosemite?

    How long does it take to download and install Yosemite?

    That is going to depend on the speed of your Internet connection as well as your machine. It took about an hour to install on my mid 2011 iMac if I recall. I started it and walked away, stopping in to check on it a few times throughout the evening.  That doesn't include the time it takes to download the ~5GB installer.

    How long does it take to download and install maverick, not got high speed connection

    It always depends on your network.
    Can always go to http://www.speedtest.net and it will let you know your download speed and can do the math.
    It will take about 2 hours on a good network though.
