My QuickTime Movies take too long to download

I need some assistance with QuickTime movies that I have uploaded to my website.
I upload several movies and then click on them from my web page, but they don't stream, they take up to 4 or 5 minutes to download before playing.  Is there a way to have them stream as soon as possible without the complete downloading process?
Thanks,
Craig

No. This has happened in more than one place, with seemingly perfect internet connections. It appears to be some sort of overload or file corruption at Apple's end. For instance, right now I'm trying to download the movie Elysium for more than 3 days. It takes little more than 15 minutes to download half of the 3.9Gb, but then a problem occurs and it starts again. It this was simply an internet connection issue, it would probably continue from the point where it stopped, wouldn't it? Another possibility would be a problem with my iPad, but I find quite unlikely, because I can download purchased (not rented) movies and tv series normally. My problem is very specific: rented movies.

    If you purchase episodes online through itunes, then discover it is going to take 10 hours to download each episode, can you cancel your order and get a refund?

    Ask your Internet Provider. It can depend on many things. What program are you using to download the movie?

  • Why does exporting a quicktime movie take so long?

    I'm exporting an 88-minute-long HDV movie as a self-contained quicktime without recompressing. The media is all on one ESATA drive and the target disk is a second ESATA drive. It takes five hours and uses >150% of my CPU during the export. It seems to me like it shouldn't take nearly that long, nor should it use so much CPU since basically all it's doing is copying data from one disk to another, right? Any idea why it's taking so long and using so much CPU? Thanks.

    No, wrong. It is creating a completely new GOP structure for your MPEG2 based edit.
    Ah.
    This is one of the drawbacks of working/delivering in HDV ... With that in mind, is there any special reason you are creating an HDV self contained master?
    I'm making it self contained so I can put the whole thing on my MBP's internal hard drive and show it to people without having to carry terabytes of media around. I'm staying in HDV because I started out working in Final Cut Express, which converts everything to AIC, and had very bad results: my media files grew by a factor of three, everything was ridiculously slow, and my machine crashed regularly, particularly during captures, which was unbelievably frustrating because that meant I had to babysit the machine throughout the entire capture process (and often through multiple iterations of the capture process interleaved with machine reboots). In fact, the only reason I started using FCP instead of FCE is so I wouldn't have to transcode.

  • Why movies take so long to download

    We have an Apple TV that never allow us to enjoy a movie right away when we rent or buy.  It always shows a message saying that it will take 20 hours to be ready to watch.  This is very frustrating!  I'm sure somebody has either experienced this problem, has a better configuration or internet connection.  Anyway.  I'm lost and any advice is welcomed.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
    1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.

  • Thunderbird upgrade takes too long to download

    I have tried to update the software for months. Everytime I attempt, the download processes for hours but never completes. Its constantly searching for the software. Not sure. I usually abandon the attempt so that I can get my emails.

    My updates occur in at most a few minutes, most updates take less than a minute.
    I am in outback Australia, so I am pretty sure I do not get a really good internet service, nor am plugged into the update servers.
    Perhaps your anti virus solution is spending hours evaluating the download.

  • Text Box borders take too long to download

    Can anyone help me out. I have a web site (www.ravensfc.com) If you look on the site the white lines around the text boxes are the last to load and seem to hold up the site. I have used html optimiser but this just seems to cut the image size. I was suprised that iweb seems to save these as images rather than html.
    If anyone can offer me advice that would be most helpful.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. That's one of the problems with some of the bells and whistles of iWeb. As you discovered many get converted to image files which slows down the page loading. for example your Sat 1 page has 59 files to load. You might look into slimming down the page by removing the borders, etc. That will help browsers from the darkside to access your site more efficiently.

  • Why does it take too long to open attachments from email account?

    It takes forever to download attachments from my email account. I have tried to do the following tasks explained on the vista forum :http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/help/6b046ae9-1434-4423-9303-400ff6fe686b1033.mspx#ESD but none of the possible fixes work.
    After clicking open on the pop up box asking whether i want to open or save the attachement It takes too long to download it. The transfer window stays open showing that it is ready to download but stays at that bhox window. I press cancel and try to open again, if lucky it opens that file, otherwise it takes forever forceing me to cancel. The files very small files most of the time, usually between 50kb so should take seconds.
    I have even tried to save the files but again same process. The transfer box stays open but does not download.
    Any one any ideas.
    Thanx in advance.

    Hello
    It is not easy to say what happen exactly but it must be something with email account provider and their page. For me this case is not some typical Vista problem but you can try to find solution on Microsoft Vista IT Pro forum.
    By the way: do you have alternative mail address by some other provider? Is there the same situation?

    Restoring the iPhone will reload its firmware.
    Plug the iPhone into (the current version of) iTunes on your computer.
    Let it sync.  Then choose "Restore" from the iPhone's summary page in iTunes.

  • HT201611 how can i cancel a movie that i rented but is taking too long to download?

    How can I cancel a movie we ordered but is taking way too long to download?

    Netflix and similar services adapts to the connection. iTunes content is at a fixed rate and higher quality, a portion needs to load before playback begins. If it starts and then buffers throughout its because you don't have a stable network connection. ISP throttling can also be something to consider
    You can see your network status by getting a report istumbler, netstumbler oor similar. Look for signal strength, noise, nearby networks. Make sure router is up to date. You can also test on another network.
