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..
No problems downloading from the iTunes Store here...
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...

  • 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:

    Streaming movies may skip or pause.
    iTunes or other downloads may take an unusually long time to complete.
    Webpages may not load quickly.

  • 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 is very slow when updating apps

    Since a few days iTunes is very slow when updating apps and downloading updates for iPad etc.
    Very often a download is ended with the message server reply time to long.
    I'm running the latest updated version of iTunes on an iMac mid-2010 with latest OS. I have some 3-4 GB out of 12 GB memory free and 70GB free out of 500 GB storage. I have measured my internet connection speed and it is very good 95-98 Mbit/sec.
    I can't see any obvious reason to why iTunes is so slow. Have anyone experienced this? Please help!

    Yes! I have the exact same issue. So I tried some things.
    I am on Uvese (via wifi) and was trying to update the apps on my PC via itunes. Taking FOREVER. So i tired it directly from my iPhone 6 via wifi - same issue. Then I turned off wifi on the iPhone and updated over (ATT) LTE. That worked great. I am thinking it is a Uverse/ATT issue at this point.

  • Changing artists names in iTunes is very slow (1 minute per song) in compilation albums

    Changing artists names in iTunes is very slow (1 minute per song) in compilation albums. I am using iTunes 10.6.1 Mac OS X 10.6.8 on a MacBook Pro with 4GB RAM 2.66 GHz Intel processor and my itunes library is 340GB. My new music is on the computer's hardrive (about 16GB) and the rest is in an external HD.
    It used to work great until I switched to the new version of iTunes (10.6.1) and now changing the artist field is very very very slow (1 minute per song in compilaton albums)
    What happened? Can someone help me?

    Thank you both!!!!!!  Especially you, Limnos for adding onto the terrific answer from leonieDF.  Yeah, I'm seldom willing to let the software do the driving all by itself.  <heh>  However, to date I've been too lazy to work with what is currently there - and needing to know how to customize the software was my first step.
    I'm finally going to reduce the enormous physical size of my cd collection - organizing and storing the jewel cases is too great a nightmare not to mention that it has turned my livingroom into nothing more than a visually overwhelming variety of storage devices--spinners being my favorite, but now mostly unavailable outside of yard sales.  Favorite disks I WILL keep to play in the car (no, my player is too old to have a USB port).
    I'm getting a 2T external drive to hold the accumulation - but before that, I wanted to find out HOW to organize things so that I can find them myself - old school.  My ITunes libraries go back many years, but I now want a good cohesive way to save the way that I want - not the way that is set up for me.
    Thank you both again very, very much!!

  • ITunes loads very slow

    With over 48000 songs, itunes loads very slow. Thinking it my be my pc I loaded it onto a new pc and get the same results. Is there anything I can do to getit to load under 5 seconds at least?

    Dear Apple,
    I need to complain about the same problem. I have 1/10th the songs in i-Tunes (~4800) and I cringe every time I want to start the program. The same delay happens anytime I load or switch a CD to import a song.
    Google can load a billion links in a blink; can't you load a millionth of this info in the same amount of time? Any hints would be greatly appreciated.
    Frustrated,
    -Mike

  • ITunes startup very slow

    Hi
    My iTunes is very slow, when it starts up, i have the newest version, i have just updated.
    It has allways been a problem, do any of you have the same problem, and is there a solution on the problem??

    How long is "forever"? I have been experimenting with startup times with my music collection (on a FW400 external drive) - on a G4 MDD it takes 60 secs to load, but on a MacBook it takes 30 secs. This even though the MacBook has much less RAM. So I am wondering if processor speed is what is being overloaded as the iTunes library file loads........ Can any of you provide actual numbers?
    What Mac? How big a music collection? How long to load? Is there a pattern here?

  • Downloading CD into iTunes is very slow

    If I insert a CD, play selected tracks through iTunes, and then try to download the songs, the transfer rate is very slow 1x to 2x.  The drive sounds like it is working very hard as well.  If I then eject the disk, reinsert, and then download, the speed is normal ... about 9x.  If I simply stop playing a song and then try downloading, that doesn't work.  Odd.  Any ideas so I don't have to keep ejecting?

    Welcome to AD!
    +Can bad internet service cause the slowness in importing CD's?+
    I'm not sure, but an easy test would be to unplug the network cable from your PC. It will of course get disconnected from the internet, and you can see if CDs import any faster.

  • ITunes App Store Australia download very slow

    iTunes app store in Australia has had VERY slow download ALL day. Any suggestions.

    contact apple support to see what is going on -- there have been complaints about Icloud servers and mail - so hazarding a guess that they have a problem somewhere between you and them.  Weather (storms) can cause an internet connection to be slow - or have to be rerouted in the system causing a traffic jam somewhere along the line.    Generally - in the US I check the national weather service map and if there are storms in certain areas I give it up for the day as its just not going to connect.

  • ITunes Match downloads very slow over LTE

    Hi, I have an iPhone 5 on iOS 6.1.4. When downloading iTunes Match songs to my phone it is very slow over LTE taking roughly 1 minute per megabyte. Over wifi it is a lot faster taking perhaps less than 20 seconds per track on average. All other data based activity is fast over LTE so the issue does seem to be limited to iTunes Match downloads and is the same whether my music was matched or uploaded to to icloud.
    Any fixes/suggestions much appreciated. I have a brand new handset and restored my phone yesterday. I'm on the EE network in London.
    Thank you

  • Downloading from iTunes Store very slow

    I am using iTunes 11.1.3 and download to my external hard drive on my MacBook Pro version OS X 10.9. I haven't had a problem with download speeds until now. Downloading a 22.5mb TV show is taking up to 3hrs. My internet (wireless) is running fine elsewhere in my home. I can watch apple tv via itunes store purchases just fine streaming as well as Netfix. Suggestions?
