Welcome to the Apple Community Rachel.
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.

IOS 4.3.2You should only make purchases for all your devices using a single Apple ID. There is no need, and indeed a good reason not to, set up a new Apple ID with each new device purchase. While items purchased under different IDs can be played on a single device, you cannot merge Apple IDs and it makes it cumbersome.
Apple IDs do not expire but may become dormant and require reactivation if they are not actively used.
You should make note of your Apple ID and passwords and keep a record of it. Like a bank account it contains access to items with value. Update your Apple ID email address as they change.
I see you were guided to this forum by a help page on recovering your password. If that is not sufficient try the links below. Apple will need to verify you are indeed to owner of the accounts to which you are trying to gain access.

My ipad is updating to I0S7 and says it will take 67 hours to download! Is this normal?
My ipad 2 is updating to IOS7 and says it will take 67 hours to download!
What can speed the process up? Thanks for any answers!Are you updating via iTUnes or 'over the air' wirelessly?
If via iTunes, the update is around a gig, so if you have slow internet, it could be taking that long. -
7.1 update keeps closing and before that it says it will take 1 HOUR TO DOWNLOAD!!!

I have just created a new username and bought a new prepaid phone. I am being toldf I am not the account owner. Why is this
Owner status on POST PAID is not the same as PRE PAID.
on prepaid you can get any device you like.
But you pay upfront.
People on post paid get the advantage of reduced priced devices on contracts. Prepaid is no contracts.
Any carrier will function the same way. Go online and check out Verizon pre paid policy and then look at the other carriers.
Maybe prepaid from Walmart or Boost Mobile, or Cricket etc. would be best for you. Pay for all you can eat calling, texting and data for one low price. Say $45-$55 and buy the phones they offer.
Good Luck -
Working on my friends iMac 20" computer. It is 2.66 ghz, and was running 4mb of ram when the computer started acting up on OSX 10.5.
When I was called over the computer was so slow that I could not even scroll without getting the beach ball of death. I checked the activities moniter, and found an HP application was taking up 46% of the CPU. We attempted to go in and uninstall all of the HP applications, but the computer ended up freezing. Ended up doing a hard shut down, and decided to run disk utilities. Repaired both Permissions, and Disk. Restarted... no difference. Thought of restoring the computer to when it was working fine via Time machine in disk utility mode... failed. Finally resorted to deleting the hard drive, reinstalling Tiger, and upgrading.
After what seemed like forever for the hard drive to erease, attempted to reinstall. Ended up taking almost an hour to verify the disk, and then announced, that it would take 58+ hours to install. After leaving it for 3 hours, the number was going up, and was not installing.
I then thought the problem would be the 2nd party ram. We replaced the paired 2mb's to give 4mb's with the origional paired 1mb's providing now 2 mb's. Attempted to reinstall osx. Same problem 60+ hours after 3 hours of letting it sit.
What to do now? Is it the logic board? Could it be a faulty hard drive? Should I attempt in firewire more from another computer? Do a 7 pass erase over the hard drive? Run Disk warrior?
If anyone could give some info on why this is so blessedly slow that would be great thanks!Decided to try and chek out the hard drive more extensively. SMART, states that it is verified. After running Diskwarrior and repairing all of the disk and the permissions, and running a hardware test, everything seemed to be running fine.
Went back to disk utilities, checked disk and permissions again, verified. SMART states it is verified.
Attemping now to install Mac OSX 10.4.7 from the original install disk. I am currently attemting the basic install, no programs, nothing. It has been over an hour, It is 44% of installing the base system Part 1, announcing 5 hours and 53 minutes.
When I did erase the hard drive yes I selected to write over zeros once. I then erased a second time from Diskwarrior. -
How do I contact Apple about this ?
You must have a slower connection if it took 2.5 hours, did you pause it or exit out to the main screen? I've paused movies many times and it resumes..it could be due to the connection as well so what is your actual speed? Check www.speedtest.net Wifi or ethernet? Have you changed the DNS settings?

Press and Hold the Power and Home button until the phone shuts off and the Apple logo appears. Then see if you can get to the proper settings to reset the phone.
If that doesnt help Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings -
This has been going on for three days. I had to restore my iPod because the artwork was scrambling around (anyone know how to fix that too?) and when I tried to reload all my music onto my iPod, it would load on a few songs, but then it would stop on "I Wouldn't Mind" by He is We, which I got off mediafire and never gave me problems before. I unchecked the song when I tried to resync my iPod, and sure enough it just switched over to another song (this one being from a CD) so I don't think it's a file problem, but an iPod problem. I've tried different cables, different USB ports, restarted my computer, uninstalled/reinstalled the latest versions of iTunes, even cleaned the lint from out of my iPod's docking slit. I am using a Dell Inspiron which I got in October, and this is my first time restoring the iPod since transfering my library over from my old computer.
Is there something I can do myself to fix these problems and have my iPod sync normally again??as to rockmyplimsoul's post.
- unfortunately i don't really remember how i transfered songs to my MB anymore... it was several days ago and i didn't try fixing it until yesterday... after which point i've been through several bouts of struggling against smashing my MB/iPhone, pulling my hair, and punching my counter top several times until finally my girlfriend decided to go home and i quickly set about self medicating with alcohol - probably sounds funny, but true. i'm sober now though! ;p i think when i first went to sync my phone for the first time after resetting my MB, a message came up saying that i had songs on my phone that needed to be transferred to my MB or i would risk losing them during the sync session, so i clicked 'transfer'.
- i have a LOT of non-iTunes content.
- i have over 11,000 items in my itunes library (some of these appear to be sound effects that appeared in my library after i reset my computer - presumably stuff from garage band), and currently have 80 songs on my phone.
- my 'other' category is .86 GB
- i back up to iCloud
- i do use iCloud for other media storage. mostly just reports for work. -
HT4972 i purchased more icloud storage and now my iphone says it will take 19 hours to backup. why?
Any help is grateful
The time it takes depends on how much data you have in your phone and the upload speed of your Internet connection.

I just bought a new iMac and it says it will take 27 hours to transfer documents from the old mac! Is this normal? Can I speed this up??
If you are transferring with Wi-Fi or Ethernet and you have to transfer a lot of files, it's normal. Wi-Fi and Ethernet are the slowest methods to transfer files.
Instead, you can check if your old Mac has got a FireWire 800 port. If so, you can get a Thunderbolt to FireWire adapter and a FireWire cable, so the transfer will be done by FireWire, making the migration faster.
If you don't want to spend money, continue the migration. Another thing you can do is to get an external drive, make a Time Machine backup of your old Mac and use the backup to transfer your files to the new Mac. Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4889?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US -
Hello, it says it will take 65 hours to download a movie that was already purchased on the Cloud, How do I speed up the process. It says to go to Setting in I- tunes Store and select a lower video resolution but I don't see the Settings symbol in I tunes store. How do I select a lower setting and is that the best way if I bought the movie on HD?

So I have an iphone and for some reason I don't know the password for my Apple ID so I can't download apps and I don't have the password to my email to change it and I don't know the secret questions , what can I do to make a new Apple ID ?
I have the same problem - it is maddening. I rely on this iPad for work so this is not just an annoyance! The above solutions of changing the appleid on the device or on the website do not work.
The old email address no longer exists - I haven't used it in a year probably and I no longer have the account. I logged into the appleid website and there is no trace of the old email address so there is nothing that can be deleted or changed there. On the iPad there is no trace of the old email address so nothing can be deleted there either. I have updated the iPad software and the same problem comes right back. Every 2 seconds I am asked to log in using the old non-existent email. The device is currently useless.
The only recent change to anything was the addition of an Apple TV device, which was set up using the correct login and password.
Does anyone have any ideas? The iPad has been backed up to the iCloud so presumably it now won't recognize the current iCloud account? So restoring may notbe an option?
