Why is my Apple tv (very) Slow at downloading from my iTunes account (homesharing)

Why is both my apple Tv's (very) slow at downloading (buffer) from my iTunes account on my hard drive (home sharing)

You didn't clarify where you were accessing the content from computers icon or one of the other icons (using the cloud)
It's a coincidence. Verify interference using istumbler and try Ethernet
If you're using the cloud there are other things to look at

Very slow music download with iTunes match on iOS devices

For some time now I experience very slow performance downloading music with iTunes match on my iOS devices.
Downloading music takes ages now. Not so long ago download music with iTunes match was as fast as buying music from the iTunes Store.
I tried to restore my iPhone but nothing changed.
The download itself is quite fast but after that the blue progress bar is full and the statut is "en cours" (french) something like busy/ongoing in english . The other tracks have a status wating;
Any idea how to solve the issue?
Thanks

Same here. It seems to be better when the device has been set up from scratch. A delete and restore does not the trick. So I learned to live with it

When using the camera downloader in Adobe Bridge CS6 with Nikon D5200 we are unable to see previews of the photos and it is very slow to download. The issue occurs under a the users rights, but not under admin level. This is a new issue

Hi Jdentremont,
Lync client gets user photos by first querying the Address Book Web Query (ABWQ) service on the server, which is exposed through the Distribution List Expansion web service. The client receives
the image file and then copies it to the user's cache to avoid downloading the image each time it needs to be displayed. The attribute values returned from the query are also stored in the cached Address Book Service entry for the user. The Address Book Service
deletes all cached images every 24 hours, which means that it can take up to 24 hours for new user images to be updated in the cache on the server.
To troubleshoot your problem, please follow the steps below:
1. Navigate to
“X:\share\1-WebServices-1\ABfiles\000000000\000000000” folder. (ABS file share)
You should see some photo files in this folder as the following screenshot.
2. Delete all the files in this folder.
3. On test PC, delete local cache files.
%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Lync\[email protected]
4. Sign-in Lync with the test account.
5. Go back to the ABS file share, check if there is any Photo file in the folder.
Best regards,
Eric

ITunes 7 not playing downloaded videos?

I had downloaded Quicktime 7.1.3 and iTunes 7, but my downloaded videos were not playing. I was also getting errors that iTunes was waiting to authorize computer and a gray video window screen. I removed the plug-in QuicktimeComponents from HD/Library/Quicktime folder, restarted iTunes, and all videos played.
Hope this helps.

Please install QuickTime.

Safari is now VERY slow after downloading Lion

My Safari (which is the latest version) is now VERY slow after downloading Lion. It takes forever for anything to load, and some pages don't load at all anymore. Any way to fix this? It is very frustrating!

I've just made a change to try to keep the wifi from crashing and it also seems to give me a speed boost online.
Go into your System Preferences, choose Network, and then in that dialog box choose "Advanced..."
Once there, select the DNS tab.
Click the plus sign and add the following to your list of DNS servers:
8.8.8.8
It's Google's public DNS and seems to have fixed both the dropping and speed issues.

Apple tv very slow to download, this has only just begun

we have been using the apple tv for quite a long time and recently we just updated it to the latest version of the software.
Since doing this the apple tv is very very slow to download anything. we are currently trying to watch a program and it suggests 1 hour 30 mins before we can do so. we used to be able to watch instantly!!!
any ideas how to fix?

Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router.
Reset the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings)
Restore the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Restore)

My MacBook pro continues to be very slow after downloading Yosemite. It keeps referring to MacBook Pro (2). It's like there are two version running side by side. Any ideas?

My MacBook pro continues to be very slow after downloading Yosemite. It keeps referring to MacBook Pro (2). It's like there are two version running side by side. Any ideas?
It is now running Yosemite 10.10.1. I seem to have plenty of memory but the machine still runs slower than before installing Yosemite. Excel has a very noticeable lag when opening and loading files.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I ran through the various steps as suggested including resetting the SMC.
I would say that there was about a 10% improvement. Although one of the icons still bounced for the count of 40
I'm still wondering why from the About this Mac, then System Report. it refers to my name MacBook Pro (2).
All the various problems seem to have started with the upgrade to Yosemite.

Can't recover songs and itunes very slow

My computer crashed and had to be totally restored so I lost itunes and everything. I downloaded it again and proceeded to try to sync with my nano. First of all, itunes was running way slow...so slow that I thought the computer was freezing but its not. Itunes is the ONLY program that this happens to. When I plugged my ipod in it said it wasn't synced with this computer and gave me two options to sync it, both of which would have pretty much wiped everything off of it.
I did some digging and found that I needed to get some software to pull the songs off of my ipod and put them back in itunes. I opted for Media Widget and it worked very well. It pulled all of the music off of my ipod and put it back into itunes. When I synce my ipod with itunes it started uploading the songs as expected but then I started getting messages similar to "this computer is not authorized to play (name of song)." I started looking into it and it is all of my purchased music from the itunes store. Its all in itunes but it won't upload to the ipod. So I thought I'd just create a few audio discs from the purchased playlist and then rip them into itunes and remake the playlist. Nope, itunes won't let me burn those songs to a disc, either.
So, I'm frustrated and a little angry that I can't get music that I paid for back onto my ipod. Anybody have any suggesions? Also, why is itunes running slower than molasses in January?

It seems I just needed to do a bit more digging. All I had to do was to authorize my computer in itunes and it loaded all of the songs to my ipod and everything is working again with the ipod. Itunes is still painfully slow and I can"t figure out why. It's the only program that runs like that and it was pretty slow even before my computer crashed. Anyone have any suggestions?

ITunes very slow

With version 9 iTunes has become very very slow and is often unresponsive for a few seconds when I switch to it from another app. Any ideas for optimization? (I've turned off Crossfade, Sound Enhancer, Sound Check, and Sharing.)

If you have a big library (tens of thousands of songs or more) then itunes will get slow. The bigger the slower.
I assume you are running on your macbook. How much memory does it have? The delay you see when switching to iTunes maybe due to lack of memory and having itunes swap back in. You can use activity monitor to see if memory usage is an issue.
Also, if you are using power save features this can cause a lag (especially if the disk holding the itunes library has spun down) You might want to temporarily disable disk sleeping (and perhaps other power saving features) if you are plugged in. If it helps then you can seperately tune the pluged in v.s. battery settings to get it work as best as possible.
Last time I looked I could not find an alternative to iTunes that was better, but it has been a couple of years since I looked.
Good luck

Imac is very slow with downloading mail

My imac is the ast weeks very slow with downlaoading mail.
I am using mail 5.3 from apple
Nothing has recently been chanched in my internet setting or internet speed
Anybody an idea what can be wrong?

Hi, I worked out what you recommended, but I do not see any difference at speed.
Mail starts normal, though that is also somewhat slow,
Before it has finished downloading mail (even is there os no mail!) it takes sometimes 2 minutes!
Also there was no"boing"when starting up, with following your procedure, is it normal?

Why is my iMac very slow to download Safari

I bought my iMac in Feb/12. It has run very well since then. All of a sudden in the last week, downloading Safari after turning on the computer takes a long time. Safari is downloading very slow and sluggish. Anything else I try to open after turning on computer also opens very slowly. I don't dare close Safari until I'm finished with computer now, because it will take forever to open it up again.
I was running Bitdefender on my computer before. Bitdefender doesn't work right, so I uninstalled it, but still have the program in my Applications area. Could something from Bitdefender be activated somehow and slowing my computer down? Is some form of Adaware doing this? Before my iMac, I use to have a Windows XP computer, and I'd scan for viruses in a case like this, which would usually help. But Bitdefender on here did not work, and now I'm wondering what I should do? Where should I even start? Because this can't continue. Please help! Thanks

Could something from Bitdefender be activated somehow and slowing my computer down?
Yes. Back up all data, then uninstall "Bitdefender" completely according to the developer's instructions -- NOT by dragging an application to the Trash or hunting for files by name.
