ITUNES DOWNLOAD TOO SLOW

Im downloading the Itunes again because the update could not find my iphone and ipad!! but the server is too slow 4 hours already !!
is someone alse having the same problem

Unless you are using dial-up, that's way too slow.
What do you mean you are downloading iTunes? iTunes is part of the iOS and not a separate download for iOS devices.

Why is the itunes download so slow

why is the itunes download so slow - I am trying to download itunes update to recognize my new ipod touch 5th generation and my pc will not even show it in itunes, in trying to download the update the speeds are so slow that it is estimating download time in days. I have stopped and started the apple in services, but it is still unrecognized.

you know very well it has nothing to do with itunes or the modem/router. apple servers are very very slow and its an absolute disgrace.
you can download from third party servers at twice the speeds (at your own risk)
Apple is the second largest company in the world and they treat customners in this way

Itunes running too slow to use

I recently uploaded a lot of content into my itunes and moved it to an external hard drive. All of a sudden Itunes runs so slow it periodically freezes as I scroll down through my library. I uploaded about 60,000 songs to bring the total to about 67,000 and change. Do you think its the number of songs coupled with the fact that this is an old computer I am using (even though its a brand new external drive) that is causing the problem or could it be something else?

ITunes download too big for satellite IP

iTunes wants me to download iTunes 8 which is 76 MG. My satellite IP download runs at 432kbps to start. After a while, it slows down to less than 8 kbps. THis is because I have exceeded my FAP [fair access policy], meaning I am hogging bandwidth. iTunes 8 will slow my computer to a crawl for a couple of hours if I try to download. What to do?

Can you get a friend to download the installer for you and put it on a memory stick/CD for you?

Why is itunes download so slow on apple tv (3 days now) but I can download same movie to computer instantly? What has changed?

I rented a movie via itunes on my apple tv 3 days ago. I still cannot view it on my television. I have checked all internet connections, routers, speedtests..etc and have come to the conclusion that it is simply the itunes download on apple tv. I can view netflix no problem on the same apple box.
I now have downloaded the same movie to my computer and am watching almost instantly. What is happening here? I used to rent movies on itunes via apple tv and get almost instant streaming now it's incredibly slow!

It doubful thats its your PC per se, alot of people are reporting the store being alittle on the slow side.
It won't last long, its just apple make all these changes 3-4 days ago, a week or 2 they will have it all str8.
You can overlook your network setup tho, make sure the connection isn't looping around thru ports on the router and slowing you down. I doubt thats it tho, iTUnes increased the resolution of there video, so in turn the files are bigger. This is why iTUnes now has a download manager in it so you can pause things when needed

ITunes got too slow

Hello!
I began to store music in my Mac a year ago and now music files eat up 600GB and are still growing. I bought four FireWire external hard disk drives for them. While it's okay for large disk spaces but I feel difficulty in handling playlists and tracks in iTunes. It's too slow! Maybe due to the large size 48.4MB of iTunes database file: I have 1416 user playlists.I suppose that iTunes edits the database file each time I rename or move playlists and tracks.
I use iTunes 6 in OS X 10.3.9 on iMac G4 800MHz. I cannot upgrade to Tiger due to application compatibility. I read bad news for iTunes 7 and decided not to upgrade. I heavily depend on my own Applescript for timer recording and for playlist handling.
Will upgrading to iTunes 7 speed up playlist handling?
Will reducing number of playlists (not tracks) speed up playlist handling?
I'm thinking of upgrading my Mac.
Can Intel Mac Pro (cheapest model) handle large iTunes database file (over 100MB) smoothly?
Thank you in advance.

ITunes download extremely slow on a 300Mbps uVerse connection

Gigapower installed yesterday (W00t!!!) ... everything is flying except ... iTunes downloads
I've tried the following with no improvement
Different DNS servers from the local machine (4.4.4.4, 8.8.8.8, OpenDNS, att standard DNS)
Turning off the firewall
Opening itunes port in gaming for the machine
Sacrificing a pure white goat inside a pentagram while wearing a black turtleneck
Resetting network adapter
Trying from multiple hardwired locations
Speedtest has me at 320Mbps and everything else is flying except streaming any connection to the iTunes store (from Mac, PC, and Apple TVs both wired and wireless).

Having the same problem tonight, trying to download Mary Poppins for my girls and I may as well have dial up... Speedtest has me at 85 Mbps even while the DL is occurring so has me pondering where the hold up is.

ITunes Tempo Too Slow

Hi, all - My song playback on the computer seems to be too slow (tempo too slow), but fine on my associated iPod. Is there any control/remedy for this? I have uninstalled Garage Band and there were no improvements. Thanks.

Drobo FS, Airport Extreme, and iTunes way too slow

I have a Drobo FS, that contains my >600gb iTunes library, plugged in to my Airport Extreme. I access the Airport wirelesly via a MBP and was hoping to play back music and video wirelessly and to sync my iPhone. Unfortunately, iTunes is lagging terribly and I can not sync music to my phone. I had a 3tb My Book attached via usb to the Airport previously without problem. Is anyone else trying this or could offer help? It would be much appreciated. Thanks.

"What you can do is watch your process list to see if other processes are causing itunes to slow down. Also if you have a bunch of processes running that don't need to be then close them down to see if the performance increases." no other processes are taking any noticeable CPU time, and none over 10%, EXCEPT iTunes. Just scrolling in my library causes the CPU to max out at 100%. Try it yourself. Put a CPU indicator in your system tray. Also, downloading podcasts pegs the CPU really high. Also, iTunes misses keystrokes (probably because it hogs all the CPU), and it is slow to respond to mouse clicks. Very annoying! Just lame programming - that's all. No conflicts on my system, no other problem programs running on my system. Just one badly written application called iTunes.

ITunes downloading very slow.

Hi guys,
I've experienced a vast decrease in speed on my iTunes for downloading apps and even using WiFi to download apps/updating them.
Are there any problems currently with iTunes stores? Because this is the first time this has happened. I'm from SGP and my ISP speed is 15MBps. Appreciate if there's anyone out there who can help. Thanks alot.

Hey there Kimber.c,
It sounds like your Wi-Fi connection is very slow on this computer. I would try the steps in this section of the article named:
Wi-Fi: How to troubleshoot Wi-Fi connectivity
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4628?viewlocale=en_US
Symptom: The Wi-Fi network seems slow
Streaming movies may skip or pause.
iTunes or other downloads may take an unusually long time to complete.
Webpages may not load quickly.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,
Sterling

Itunes download very slow

Trying to download Itunes 10 and it's either very slow or completely "locks up". Says estimate time 20+ hours......????
Is there some problem I'm missing?

Hi..

Try turning off your router for a few minutes then turn it back on and restart your PC.
Then from the iTunes menu bar click Store > Check for Available Downloads...

Why are My iTunes Downloads so Slow?

I have a 30 Mbps internet connection. When I run a speed test against my connection I almost always hit 30 Mbps. However, when I download podcasts and other files from iTunes my download speeds max out at just over 7 Mbps. I ran the diagnostics in iTunes and everything checked out fine. Any ideas on why I getting such a slow download speed?

Same experience here with anything being downloaded from Apple! For at least the last 5-6 months we have gone from very fast down loads from Apple Software Update Servers which were humming at around a Megabyte to 1.5 MB a second for the better part of the last DECADE! Which was fantastic and essential for upgrading dozens of computers on the many networks we manage. Now every single network for the last 5-6 months is only getting fractions of theses throughputs. Down to 30-80 KBs (Per Machine) which is a nightmare. It makes no difference geographically in Sydney or which Service provider. We have called the service providers and they have tested the pipe to Apples servers and they get the same results. We were comfortably getting 1GB downloads with in 20-40 minutes per machine with up to 5 or six machines on an ADSL 2+ connection at a time... easily, now its taking 3-4 hours to get a gigabyte per machine with only 2 or 3 computers at a time.
Its a nightmare and yes we use an in-house OSX Servers SUS and down load the big updates and distribute them internally but there are now so many different updates required for different machines its difficult to do this and we just upgraded 2 computers to Lion and they wanted to down load over 2.5GB in updates each with out the system software updates which we had previously downloaded. SUS on each computer was indicating just under 24 hours to down load 2.5 GB from Apple. We were able to down load this with in an hour previously.
Its become a nightmare harking back to the performance we were getting from the internet in the Nineties. It is suspected that since Apple removed their mirrors from around the world we all have to go to the States to get our Software, iOs and iTunes updates and Apples growth is impacting on their ability so serve up the bandwidth with everybody downloading ridiculously large 3.5 GB Lion installers.
Interestingly Microsoft servers are dishing up the same poor bandwidth performance as Apple yet Google is the same its always been at around 800-1MB a second and many other big companies blow the Apple servers out of the water on the same networks.
Something has to be done about this as our clients are beginning to complain seriously about it as its costing significantly more to run an Apple Network.
And no one from Apple wants to talk about it. And this post will most likely self destruct once Apple reads it!

ITunes download very slow today?

I try to download "The walking dead season one" and Itunes calculate 4 hours for download. Normally I need with my 50mbit connection 10 minutes for this job. Is there a problem with Itunes server? Anybody here with same problem?

10.6.4 download too slow

I've repeatedly tried to download the 10.6.4 combo update from the Apple site and am getting extremely slow download speeds, less than 100 kbps, often less than half that. I've checked my speeds with Speed Test and an getting 1898 Kbps sec. down and 6245 Kbps up so I know it isn't my machine or connection(we have fiber optic here at work). Does anyone know of a mirror for the Apple downloads? I tried Version Tracker but I think they just connect you to the Apple portal and it is still dead slow.

Funny thing is that I am having the exact same issue, but only at my work where I have about 60 mac's. 38 of them are running 10.5.8 or 10.4.11 because of there processor or lack of time to upgrade. The ones running 10.5.8 or below can download any size file and does it at about 377kb/sec. Anything running over 10.6 will simply stall out and i will eventually get the 44 days to download time. Our current ISP is XO and 2 weeks ago had a DS1 line installed.
Now here is the really strange thing. If I take any of the 10.6 computers home, including my own, they work just fine. At home I have AT&T U-Verse and run about 677kb/sec.
