My apple tv is very slow

netflx is very slow to load movie anything i try to load take forever

That will be due to your network.
What is your current connection, use speedtest.net
Make sure DNS is set to automatic (settings - general - network)
If on wifi try ethernet
Go to istumbler (Mac) or netstumbler (PC) to get a report of the network, look for signal strength and noise.

After APTV and itunes upgrade on mac, streaming from itunes to Apple TV is very slow.

After APTV and itunes upgrade on mac to latest on 02/15, streaming from itunes to Apple TV is very slow. even 5 mins song takes 10-15 mins to start. Netflix/Youtube work fine on Apple TV. restarted Mac, router, modem, appletv. reset Appletv to factory setting and re-start.

Apple TV 2 does not appear in iTunes (exception being when connected via micro-usb for restore) as it has no sync capabilities.
See if this helps

Apple Community pages very slow in Safari.

Lately I am finding moving between Apple Community discussions has become very slow, sometimes irresponsive. It is not a permanent feature; it tends to be like that for varying periods of time ... then reverts to normal. My internet connection is good and refreshing the page ... well, it just doesn't.
Would be glad to hear from anyone with thoughts on this?
Thanks. 71.

Same thing happens to me. I look at many posts and discussion and then it no longer responds. I can open a tab and go to any website and it works great but the discussions.apple.com remains nonresponsive. I quit safari and start Safari and discussions.apple.com works fine again.
I haven't been able to figure out why.

Apple File Sharing very slow with Mountain Lion

I've noticed since upgrading to 10.8 the transfer speeds over a LAN via AFP (File Sharing) are VERY slow.. in some instances. Based on the behaviour i'm guessing it has something to do with the amount of items.
for instance:
A folder that contains approx 122mb worth of 1500 small files takes me about 50 seconds to transfer while a long audio recording with a greater filesize of 125mb takes only 11 seconds.
using SCP from the command line the same 122mb folder took only 19 seconds while the audio took 10 seconds.
after performing the same operations on a computer running 10.6 I can deduce that the problem is on the receiving end. Audio file transfer times were the same, however the same folder of items took only 27 seconds when it was transferred to a computer running 10.6 regardless of which OS the computer sending the file was running.
apparently handling a greater number of files increases transfer time for both methods but AFP is painfully slow with 10.8 on the receiving end.
any thoughts or suggestions?
I've read a couple threads about people having trouble with Time Machine running slowly.. i wonder if this is related.

Same problem here. I just upgraded from Lion to Mountain Lion. I only got 19 GB of space, but Time Machine wants 10 hours, whereas in OSX Lion a full backup would take just under an hour, and incremental updates were lightning fast.
I even sat it up to do it overnight, but on 8 hours it was only half way through only 10 GB. I can't live with that in the future.
Im trying to backup on a SD card which seems to work very good in Lion. Im on a 2012 Macbook Air using a SSD.
My bite of the apple has been somewhat sour. I tried reformatting the SD card, well knowing that I would lose old backups. But still the backup is extremely slow. Now I can't install Lion or Mountain Lion from scratch without having to wait 10 hours for TM backup or installing tons of applications and settings again. Bummer. I'm never going to early adobt a OSX upgrade again.

Apple track pad very slow connecting after sleep

I have a late 2009 iMac (11,1) running10.10.1. It is very slow (5 to 35 seconds) connecting to my Apple trackpad whether I am logged in when I put the iMac to sleep or whether no one is logged in. I have run EtreCheck and am including the output. I would appreciate anyone offering advice on what to do to get my trackpad to connect quickly.
Thanks,
Hugh McCutchen, Jr.

Try the basics first:
   Change your router channel number. Most times this works & is all you have to do.
Disconnect & reconnect your modem. unplug it for about 10 seconds. Plug it back in. Do the same for Apple’s routers. Wait for everything to reboot.
System Preferences>Network
Click the Assist Me button.
In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

If it does come down that, CALL AppleCare and request a replacement until yours is repaired.

Since I moved ITunes media folder to an external bkp unit upload of my home shared videos on Apple TV is very slow. Is there anything I can do?

Since I moved ITunes media folder to an external bkp unit, Apple Tv uploads my shared videos very slowly. Is there anything I can do?

USB 3 should be more than enough for what you want.
I don't know anything about Pinnacle but iMovie (assuming you are going default) does produce movies with a datarate of around 10 Mbps, which is quite high in comparison to iTunes movies from the iTunes Store. I don't know if you might want to try custom exports.
Although saying that I have plenty of movies at around 10 Mbps on my eSATA external which doesn't have any problems.

Apple TV updating very slow

My Apple TV is taking a very long time to down load the update Apple TV 3rd gen

jaspertang wrote:
around 6Gb of movie files. it takes twice the time compared to when i am transferring the same set of video files to my computer.
which makes sense, as the appletv is communicating with your itunes library and not directly with your external HDD.
so the data is traveling from the external HDD to your itunes library (on your pc/laptop) and then on to the appletv.

Address autofill in Apple Mail is very slow

The autofill when I type an email address in the To: field is slow. The address appears right away, but I get the spinning ball for several seconds thereafter, before I can do anything else. This has been going on since I upgraded to snow leopard months and months ago.

Yep, mine's been doing the same thing for months now... autofill shows options and I select, but the damned rainbow cursor shows up. BUT, I've notice the same thing happens (sorta) in Safari, when closing a second Safari window (spinning cursor) and when I close a Safari tab, the old stuff continues to show for a second or two, then the remaining tab's page appears.

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

HT1222 Since I loaded os6 on my I pad 2 I have a lot of problems with my I pad being very slow, taking very long time to preform the basic tasks. MUD moves faster. Note******** I have only used 20% of all avable useage. HELP

Very slow I Pad 2 since going to os6 many problems with loading apps. I have kept apps updated, looks like lots of bugs, are lacking, a mess over all just trying to do simple tasks getting on net,loading apps. Mud would move faster. So you know I have had only Apple since Apple has been.

Mavericks install incomplete. No Apple installers on HD. Will I be able to upgrade to Yosemite and will it fix all that didn't install with Mavericks upgrade? Very slow connection speeds 30 hrs to download Mavericks. Tried re-install; no help/

Ever since upgrade to Mavericks I have been having problems which are too numerous to mention. I finally found a program from a UCBerkley professor called Pacifier which indicated 4000+ of 400,000+ files and folders did not install. I was unable to go further to try to fix everything because Pacifier can't find ANY Apple installers on my HD. It recommended I download the Mavericks installer without reinstalling to continue; however, after having done so (very slow connection; takes 30 hours to download) and although the installer appears in apps while downloading it disappears and NO Apple installer packages can be found on my hard drive. I tried to download Yosemite once and it indicated my system wasn't eligible for the upgrade. Its' download time was similar to Mavericks; 28+ hours.
I am using a Macbook Pro mid-2012 version OS X 10.9.5 (13F34); Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5; Memory 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3; Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB.
Regardless of how many files and apps I remove my memory is being eaten up to the point I can hardly do anything at all. There are no civil words for how frustrated I am. Someone please help me.
Thanks,
JJ

Install Mavericks, Lion/Mountain Lion Using Internet Recovery
Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
Boot to the Internet Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND-OPTION- R keys until a globe appears on the screen. Wait patiently - 15-20 minutes - until the Recovery main menu appears.
Partition and Format the hard drive:
Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
After DU loads select your newly installed hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed. Quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion. Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks and click on the Install button. Be sure to select the correct drive to use if you have more than one.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
This should restore the version of OS X originally pre-installed on the computer.

Is anyone facing the similar problem of visible lag while opening app with 3G data on? It seems apple has made 5s slow to improve iphone 4 performance.5s was very smooth on 7.0.6 even with 3G data on. Is this a bug? Is apple going to fix this soon?

I have same Problem. I tried all options - Reset All Settings, Erase Content & reset all settings, Upgrated to IOS8.1, Restore using iTune. But problem persists.
When I turn Cellular Data or Wifi ON, then there is a lag while opening the Apps. But If I turn Data/Wifi off, phone becomes super fast. I have checked with my friends. They are not facing this issue. Not sure if Apple know this.

My Apple TV is suddenly very slow

I am going to have to use laymen terms here. I purchased my Apple TV a year ago and have been using it successful since. About two weeks ago it suddenly began streaming very slowly and has maintained a very slow rate of transfer between my computer (Windows XP) and the Apple TV. To be frank I cannot use it without frustration. I tried upgrading to 2.0 but it did not help. So I did a factory reset which only put it back on 1.1 ; but the performance is still painful. I have made no changes to my router (ADSL) or my computer that is running iTunes. I have three other laptops that are running on the wireless laptop and they are running fast and fine.
Can anyone help?

davidwh1,
I may have misread your original post... but I interpreted your message to say that you have your information on a laptop, and that the laptop and AppleTV are both connected wirelessly to your router. And if that is the case you can connect your laptop directly to your AppleTV for testing purposes. However, if your iTunes is on your desktop PC, perhaps you could try to sync one of your laptops (if you have iTunes on it) to your AppleTV in order to rule out that it is a connection issue. Sorry if I misread your post and I wish you good luck.
