Once rental in iTunes, ATV takes forever to download/play

I download movie rentals or tv shows in iTunes on my computer, but Apple TV takes FOREVER to download from the shared computer! I can't watch a movie in one go-- it pauses to download and takes forever. How do I avoid this? It never used to happen! Since I can download the movies in normal time frames, the internet speed is not the issue.

All CBS, Youtube & Xinmsn videos fail to play on Firefox 4.0 all day long. Once 12 am (Singapore Time), ALL videos start to play Perfectly. Even Headline News takes forever to download until midnight, such problem suddenly disappears. WHY?

'''My Fujitsu laptop is one-month old. Initially I use IE8 and had problem watching videos. Once, an Action Message appeared advising me my API Driver is not working and directed me to HP instead. Fujitsu advised me it's a malware and a scan of Malicious Software Removal Tool was executed, nothing was detected. Ive had Norton Internet Security on my laptop. I switched to Firefox 4.0. All videos - CBS, Youtube and Xinmsn videos fail to play during the day, between 1 pm till night (11 pm). The only time every of these videos start playing Perfectly is around Midnight 12 am. (Singapore Time). This happens every day and night. How is it that during the day and night, every site including Headline News takes forever to download (transferring data takes unusually long time) but around midnight, such problem instantly disappears (and I can download sites very fast)? Also, ALL videos malfunction all day long till night but miraculously return to perfect function around midnight. This is real weird. Can some kind soul help me with this please? ''"

i would suggest you backup and reformat the windows.
Previously i also encounter similar error you encountered found out is malware attack, some of the antivirus are not even able to detect them. There are alot of users posted online which you can google around.
i had tried remove the malware using those so-called malware removal but things gets worst. So finally i reformat the Windows and everything go back to normal.
Personal advice, don't click or install those unknown message prompted from website. No antivirus or malware protection software can prevent this if you are letting then to get in your system.
Cheers and hope i did help you in resolving your error.

Every time i try to access the Itunes store it takes forever to load. It just says "Accessing Itunes Store".
With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

Videos and pictures received on WhatsApp take forever to download on Iphone5s

Videos and pictures received on WhatsApp take forever to download on Iphone5s

This happens to me once in a while when I download video's to my Dell. Sometimes a TV show downloads in a minute or two. Sometimes it can take as much as forty minutes. For me it mostly tends to do this when I install a new version of iTunes (it happened when I installed the latest version of iTunes). However, it never took 2.5 hours.
Does it always happen whenever you download a video or just that one time??? It might have been just a one time thing.

HI, I just got a Macbook Pro. It's great but my mail doesn't work at all. It will come up correctly, but take forever to download messages, then won't delete them, then won't save them to folders. Then when I go to quit mail it's like it gets stuck.

HI, I just got a Macbook Pro. It's great but my mail doesn't work at all. It will come up correctly, but take forever to download messages, then won't delete them, then won't save them to folders. Then when I go to quit mail it's like it gets stuck between quitting and not. I have to force quit, then restart my computer if I want to pull up my mail again. How can I fix this?

If you just got your new MBP you have phone support from Apple (which is quite good) call them. 800-692-7753 tell the automated answerer "mail technical support" you'll have human quite quickly. Hope this helps.

Ever since I updated my ipad2 and iphone5 to ios8, both devices are running slow, apps take forever to download (Google is STILL downloading on both), and they freeze/crash. This is VERY frustrating! Anyone else having the same problems?

Had same problem on my iPad2 with the original 8.0 release. I ended up wiping it completely clean and doing a reset and restore from backup. That seemed to fix my issues. I had the same problem when 7 came out and did the same wipe and restore to get everything working well.

I have only just got an iphone 4 which I immediately updated to ios7 so have nothing to compare it with. But it doesn't even see networks that come up clear on the macbook. Same thing for a colleague in the same spot. previously I had an android phone which picked up just fine.

HT204406 iTunes Match takes forever. Help?

I have 4,000 songs on iTunes, including many long classical pieces, so Match takes forever. Should I download everything onto my Mac?

HI
Has the the number of tracks waiting remained the same over the last couple of days? If so, it would appear that the match process has stalled. I suggest that you stop process and select update iTunes match from menu.

The warranty entitles you to complimentary phone support for the first 90 days of ownership.

I have purchased Trainz Simulator, but it takes forever to download.

Recently, I purchased Trainz Simulator, a train simulation game from the App Store. It's taken forever to download and I've become impatient with the game and I've canceled the download and would like a refund. I would understand if the game was big in file size, but really it shouldn't take days to download one game with a cable modem for an internet connection. I would like a refund for my purchase sent to my debit card that I used to make the purchase.

Hi....
Just so you are aware, you can not communicating directly with Apple here so they will not respond to your post.
This is a user to user forum where Mac and Windows users help one another.
Very important to read the terms and conditions before making purchases from the App Store. Apple's policy states that, "all sales are final" here TUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
No refunds.

Why does it take forever to download a clip from youtube or a movie its impossible to watch

When I try to download from youtube my mac takes forever only allowing a few min viewing at a time, same with movies and music clips

Download 10.6.8 update
run a speed test

change your DNS to OpenDNS or something else
Maybe your ISP throttles
If you use DSL and have DSL filters on phones, those things can fail and affect bandwidth and need to be replaced ($5-8)
then again, not knowng wired / wireless or Lion vs SL
Did it just start? why? what changed?
