ITunes speed download is very slow

I have a 2.13 GB download of real steel from iTunes store SD.
The download speed is average 2.0 MB per second
The Comcast Internet high-speed test is 11 MB per second during download but 22 MB per second with nothing downloading.
So how do I increase my 2.0 MB per second Internet connection with iTunes.apple.com to 11 MB per second?

Additional comments of hardware specifications:
Mac Mini second-generation Standard configuration of $799
(I'm guessing a fourth-generation will not solve the problem)
LAN connection to Comcast high-speed Internet triple play $119

    The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.
    If you bought the product in the U.S. directly from Apple (not from a reseller), you also have 14 days from the date of delivery in which to exchange or return it for a refund. In other countries, the return policy may be different. If you bought from a reseller, its return policy applies.

    Having trouble with the iOS 8.1.1 download.  Very slow. Just keeps saying preparing update for about 4 hours now. Help

    Hello there, Cmm405.
    If you're updating your iPad with an over-the-air iOS update, the following Knowledge Base article offers up some practical steps for troubleshooting some of the issues that can arise:
    Resolve issues with an over-the-air iOS update - Apple Support
    In your instance, these sections may prove particularly useful:
    Download takes a long time, or you can't reach update server
    iOS updates require a persistent Internet connection, and the time it takes to download the update will vary according to the size of the update and your Internet speed. You can use your device normally while downloading the iOS update, and iOS will notify you when you can install the update. To improve the speed of the download, avoid downloading other content.
    If you get a message that "an error occurred downloading iOS," try again later. If the issue persists, try updating your device in another network or use iTunes to update your device. Learn more about iOS updates.
    Update does not complete
    If you're installing the update and the progress bar appears to move slowly, be patient. The time an update takes depends on the size of the update and the number of files on the device.
    When you're updating over the air, keep your device connected to a power source so that it doesn't run out of power. If your device does run out of power, connect it to a power source and turn on the device to let the update or restore complete.
    If the update never completes and the progress bar hasn't moved for an extended time, try restarting your device. If you still see the issue after you restart, see what to do if your device appears frozen or won't start.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Pedro.

  • Mountain lion download is very slow and in-between it hangs of and starts from beginning. Is there a solution i have already purchased it can i download a torrent and authorize it

    Mountain lion download is very slow and in-between it hangs of and starts from beginning. Is there a solution I have already purchased it can I download a torrent and authorize it. Somebody pl. Help

    Exactly. Some of us don't understand the situation in India. This is a country with sickest internet speeds. The internet segment is dominated by fraudulant companies. There is no consistency that is why most of the data transfer here is through Pen drives and torrent websites. We have never seen a good downlooad speed here. And on the top of inconsistency lies the Mac book Air without a built in RJ45 port.
    If i have to do it in an internet cafe it will cost me more time and money than to purchase a Mac book air itself. Apple should start giving us software loaded flash drives at least at premium.

  • What is wrong with the app store and how long before its fixed, im downloading atna very slow pash and i have a 10mb uncontested line.

    What is wrong with the app store and how long before its fixed, im downloading atna very slow pash and i have a 10mb uncontested line.

    Sorry, its on both my iphone 4s (2 iphones) and ipad2 that the app store is slow, I have done all the above and still when i download a 1 mb app it take about a half a hour just to download and previously it wasn't even a second. When browsing the web the devices are fast and internet speed is good, but when going in to app store it takes long to load and show me the new app, updates, featured app ect. We watch movie online and the streaming is brilliant. Even on my windows pc the app store is slow and sometimes says that i store could not be opened, i have also tried on my buddies wifi and there it does exactly the same which makes me think that its on apples side, but why do you not have any problems?

  • Software updates download is very  slow

    Today I downloaded 2 software updates; OSX 10.9.5 and Safari 7.1.  The download speed was very slow and erratic.  The activity monitor showed that the process "softwareipdated" was receiving data at anywhere from 1 to 25 kbs.  My DSL connection is never very fast but typically receives 130 to 150 kbs.  Other downloading such as streaming music or video has been normal.  Any ideas why this happened and could this be a symptom of some more fundamental problem?

    It may not be exclusive to Verizon but considering that Apple updates are severely affected on my system, yet my next door neighbor with Comcast has no problems whatsoever, I am 100% confident that Verizon is playing a role in my woes.  In fact, I updated my wife's iPad to iOS 8 OTA on a relative's Xfinity wifi just to get it completed.  Took me about an hour to complete.  I came back home, less than a quarter mile away to my lovely FiOS and boom, 15-20 hour download estimate on my rMBP to update my iPad Mini (which I'm saving for last or at least until this issue is resolved).  Changing my DNS seemed to work briefly on my rMBP but less than a day later my speeds were back to being slow as molasses. At least I had the opportunity to update both my rMBP and iPad Air before the speed took a nosedive again.  Just wish I had updated the Mini too.  I figured the problem was resolved and I'd get a chance to update it later.
    Judging by several posts I found online (links to two examples posted below), I see I'm not alone in thinking something funny is going on between Apple and Verizon.  I won't refute your claim that it is also affecting other providers, because your experience sounds pretty close to mine, but everyone I've encountered with problems in this area has FiOS. Folks around me who subscribe to other ISP's seem fine.  The link below to the discussion on dslreports (2nd link) is particularly telling because I read it after trying various troubleshooting steps and was surprised by the number of people who posted in that thread that had identical issues and troubleshooting experiences as me.  Several people also mentioned that the problem disappeared after they connected to Apple update through a VPN.
    I assumed it was primarily on the East Coast because I have relatives in the West and Midwest with FiOS who have not had any issues.
    I called Verizon but that was about as useful as your experience.  They didn't even bother pointing fingers.  They simply said "if everything else works then I'm getting what I pay for".  I promptly replied that as an almost exclusively Apple household, I am most certainly not getting what I pay for if I can't upgrade my software, apply security patches or use my Apple streaming devices.  Unfortunately, no one seems interested in fixing the issue, so we're left to find our own solutions.
    And that's exactly what I did roughly an hour ago.  Comcast will be out to swap my equipment and service in 14 days.  Problem solved... At least I hope.

  • Download is very slow

    I try to download Illustrator CS6 through my account in Creative Cloud, after 1 hour it has downloaded ~1/4 of its content. Anyone else experiencing this or is it my internet connection? I have 2GB speed but has not had any problem before. I was thinking, can I download try outs and then activate them through Creative Cloud using my account? Or is it a heavy traffic right now to Adobe's servers?

    Well, being at home right now the download progress is still very slow. I tried to download via download page but it's not faster. I use a faster internet connection at home and thought it would help but nope. After 45 min it has downloaded 8,4 MB and 3 hours left of the progress. I don't recall downloading from Adobe ever been this slow before? Anyone else having this problem?

  • My internet speed suddenly went VERY slow on all browser

    I am running on a Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5, 2 Ghz Intel i7, 4GB Ram DDR3.
    I am experiencing very slow internet speed after some system update some time ago.
    I have tried using wireless and LAN cable but both results the same.
    I've tried resetting routers in both my office and home but it is still as disappointing.
    Kindly advice on what to do? I've forgotten which update is it as it is some time ago already.
    I have installed bootcamp in my macbook and tried the using from windows but there isn't such issue. The internet was smooth and great.

    Try these basic troubleshooting steps.
    1. Quit all app scompletely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    2. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    3. Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • How do I stop itunes from downloading a very large apps that I downloaded direct to my iphone?

    To get around my 5GB limit for internet service, I download a very large (350MB) dictionary app directly to my iphone using a wireless website run by a merchant in town. Now every time I run itunes, it wants to download the app. Is there any way I can stop itunes from attempting the download?

    Some types of issues, such as that one, can't be resolved by the volunteer support here. If I think a request can be answered in the boards but was posted in the wrong part of them, I'll just ignore the fact it's in the wrong place.

  • Itunes 10.6 is very slow and rarely plays songs. It will either not show it playing or show it stuck at 0:00

    Hey, i have had this problem for a while now and it finally got on my nerves. Itunes has been very slow for me lately and now it rarely even plays a song when i want it too. It either wont register that i clicked the song by freezing up or it will show that the song is stuck at 0:00. Sometimes it does play the song, but i havent figured out why it does at random times and what im doing differently when it does. I have itunes 10.6 on windows 7 64 bit. Any help? That would be great

    I have this same issue but on Snow Leopard.  Please help!

  • Importing speed is occasionally very slow

    I'm having issues importing cd's on a new 20" Intel iMac. The DVD drive is a Matshita DVD-R UJ846. Sometimes (but not always) the iMac imports cd's at very slow speeds (1.1x-2.0x). Almost every time this happens there are audio problems with the imported track. There are other times when I import cd's and everything is fine.
    The problem reappeared tonight. I tried importing the disc in question on my wife's G4 iMac and it worked fine. I also hooked up an external DVD burner and imported the disc again and it was fine with no audio problems. It also imported much faster with the external burner (20x speeds as opposed to a top speed of 8x with the internal drive).
    Is the internal drive bad? I have burned several DVD's in iMovie with no problems.
    Thanks,
    Ron

  • ITunes U Site Running Very Slow

    Our iTunes U site (University of Central Florida) is running very slow today. Who should we contact about looking into this?
    Thanks,
    Jason

    We have been experiencing issues with uploads today. It will sometimes require multiple attempts. The error message that we receive most often is:
    "Unknown Error (-4)," which purports itself as an error in the iTunes Store.

  • Re: Good speed from exchange, VERY slow at home

    I am also suffering from very slow throughput and just across the road from the BMW garage 01278 code.  The strange thing is that I did a speedtest this morning via iPad and I got 920kb/s down and 114.2kb/s upload @ 0710 so I come home tonight and test again back to 63.2kb/s down and 106.1kb/s upload ????.  I have gone via test socket on master socket and reset my router also.  See below screenshot via BT Broadband Speed Test site tonight at 18:43.  I have an egineer booked from 1300 to 1800 on Monday 10th Feb.  The speed seems to have gone down hill since the fibre install I requested failed due to copper issues and has never been the same since in the evenings.
    Solved!
