I buy a movie through iTunes. i want to watch it on my tv using apple tv. why does it take so long to download?

I BUY MOVIES THROUGH ITUNES AND WANT TO WATCH THEM ON MY TV IN THE LIVING ROOM USING MY APPLE TV. IT TAKE S ALONG TIME FOR THEM TO DOWNLOAD. EVEN PREVIEWS TAKE A LONG TIME. WE HAVE AN INTERNET SPEED OF 10MBS. WHAT IS WRONG?

Depending on the type of connection you have, most likely you're sharing that connection with your neighbors and if everybody is using it all at the same time you are probably having some reduced bandwidth.  Second, depending on the quality of the movie you're downloading (SD, 720p 1080i/p) it could be several gigabytes of data and that may take a long time.  Ten megabits per second isn't really that fast anymore when we are moving such large amounts of data.

  • Why does it take so long to download a movie rental from I tunes. I want to then transfer to my Ipad

    Why does it take so long to download a movie rental from itunes. I am doing this to transfer to ipad.This is a question.

    I have noticed this here on several machines in our office, all running Leopard.
    I just did a test and subscribed to the same 16.8MB podcast on a machine running 10.4.11 and another running 10.5.8.
    The Tiger raced straight through and downloaded at a constant rate, taking about 15 seconds.
    The Leopard raced until 1.2MB downloaded and then slowed to a crawl, going up 0.1MB every 10 or 15 seconds.
    Very strange. I've noticed the Leopards were having similar problems doing downloads through the Software Update utility.
    I compared downloading an update from Support Downloads in Safari and there is no problem.
    So (for me) this issue is applying to Leopard rather than Tiger, and only to downloads via SU and ITunes, not regular http downloads through a browser.

  • Why does it take so long to download a saved movie from the cloud

    Why does it take so long to download a saved movie from the cloud

    Hi first off if your running  fcp 7 with compressor 3.5 and fcp x and compressor 4 on the same drive you may run into problems
    as you now have a mix up between Qmasters  which caused me lots of problems when i did any back ground Rendering via compressor of FCP-X
    i had to completly remove compressor 3.5 and compressor 4 then put compressor 4 back on again  as the shared rendering out of FCP-X seems to loose the plot with both versions on the same on the same drive there is an app
    Here
    http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
    which you can get allows you to get rid of certain bits of FCS and FCP-X correctly as you may know deleting the app is,nt the whole story as you need to remove the pref etc as well
    but its really clearing out every thing to do with qmaster thats is the thing here thats what causes all the issues
    really you should follow apple install instructions for FCP -X install ( and put it on separate volumes ) and i know they say there is a way to get every thing working on the same drive ...but it did,nt work for me like you i had massive render times and that 3x crash error
    any way
    once i had remove done my remove C3.5 ,C4 and reinstall C4 only it worked straight away from FCP-X using all the cores on my machine
    get some thing like istats or run activity monitor to make sure Fcp-x is using all your cores to render and you can actually see if its doing anything at all instead of waiting 5 hours for an error
    if you want to use multi core in compressor 4 you have to go into the new apple qmaster tab  and setup up a quick cluster etc
    On another note i alway use Optimized media when doing the import as while you editing its back ground render every thing into pro res making it a much nice codec to compress down to H264 which you need for the ATV
    i hope that helps a bit ,some else may have a better solution but worked for me
    thanks

  • Why does it takes so long to download the new version of Itunes?

    why does it takes so long to download the new version of Itunes?

    Since you cannot download iTunes on an iPod touch, this would not seem to be the correct forum for this question. I'd suggest you post full details of your problem in either the iTunes for Mac forum or the iTunes for Windows forum, as applicable to your system.
    Regards.

  • Why does it take so long to download a movie on itunes

    I just purchased via Itunes a movie and it says it will take eight hours to download!  Why on earth would it take so long?

    Depending on the type of connection you have, most likely you're sharing that connection with your neighbors and if everybody is using it all at the same time you are probably having some reduced bandwidth.  Second, depending on the quality of the movie you're downloading (SD, 720p 1080i/p) it could be several gigabytes of data and that may take a long time.  Ten megabits per second isn't really that fast anymore when we are moving such large amounts of data.

  • Why does it take so long to download an itunes movie rental

    I've got a great high speed internet connection (54 MBPS) and typical downloads of 4-5 GB take about 30 minutes. My Itunes movie rental is taking about 40 hours, and I'm only managing about 500 kB per second. What gives? Is this punishment for owning a PC?

    Sometimes it doesn't really depend on your ISP download speed, it depends on how busy the developer's servers might be. For instance, last night I downloaded an 800+MB file from the Apple Developers website. What usually takes less than 30-40 minutes took over 3 hours because so many people were hitting the servers and the same files at the same time.
    So if your download speed is fast via your ISP, remember that things on the server side may be slow or busy: and that's going to take additional time to download.
    Just curious as to what your download speed actually is and what size the files were that you're trying to download?

  • Why does it take so long to download movies on the new iPad

    I just bought the New iPad and I am connected to Wi-Fi and it is taking at least one full day to download a 4GB movie from the Apple store. Is this normal? How can I make the downloading faster?

    Aha.  If you are at a hotel, you probably have a throttled connection.  They want you to buy their movie, not stream your own.......
    But the app is a great thing to have on board.  You never know when you might want to check a connection.

  • Why does it take so long to download iTunes on my laptop?

    I am trying to download iTunes on my laptop and it keeps taking forever and saying it will take 18 + hours to download. I left it overnight and this morning it had only downloaded 1%.  My laptop and connection is otherwise fast.......please help!!!

    Ummmmm, it has more to do with the Internet connection speed than the speed of your laptop.
    Contact your ISP if you have slow download speeds.

  • Why does it take so long to download my own movies from iCloud?

    What is the point of iCloud if it takes 36 hours to download a movie I already own?

    Yes of course, but 18 hours is a long time to see a movie you already own.
    How can I keep th movie in my computer and NOT let it go to iCloud?

  • Why does it take so long to download a movie from itunes onto our apple tv?

    Can you pleaes tell me why it is not documented that you have to wait several hours to download a film from itunes store onto our apple tv, stupidly we thought this would be instant!  We have changed our download resolution but still no help!!

    Because you apprently have a very serius network issue.  Purchased TV Shows and Movies can generally be viewed with in about 30 sec. of buying them.  I believe rented shows have to be fully downloaed before they can be viewed which depending on your internet connetion could take several hours or longer.

  • Why does it take so long to download movies and tv shows from itunes

    I can download songs pretty quickly from itunes, but movies and tv shows take anywhere from 12-24 hours.  Is there anything I can do to speed this up?

    If you are downloading at work more than likely your bandwith is being throttled by your company.  If your using a Mac, download a little utility called "MenuMeter" It runs in the menu bar and will display your connection speed.If your on a windows machine similar utilities are available as well. Once you find out what your speed is.it'll be much easier to trouble shoot!

  • Why does it take so long to download iOS in iTunes?

    My daughter downloads iOS 5.01 over-the-air directly to her iPhone 4 in less than two minutes. I try to download it in iTunes on my Mac and it takes over 2 hours! My internet speed is approx. 36 Mbps. I have had this problem repeatedly for months and months. No other large downloads like this take anywhere near this long on my Mac. Only iOS downloads using iTunes? What am I doing wrong? Thank you!

    I have the same question. I, initally started downlading ios 5.01 to itune through my pc. The file is 812mb!! with approximately a 3hr download time.
    I then started the download directly to my iphone via wifi and the downald was complete in 15 mins.
    why?
