Pages documents very slow to download from icloud

Purchased a new MacBook Pro. Now some Pages documents have stalled downloading from iCloud.
How do I restart the downloads?

Resolved!  Disabled BT Home Hub as wireless. Removed Devolo wireless plugs from house. Removed TP link powerline adapters (Apple TV was connected to ethernet). Set Time Capsule as the only wireless point in the house. Interestingly, if you have more than 1 access point in the house, BT Home Hub can get a little confused - so removing its wireless capability via the admin function via advanced settings basically set Time Capsule as only access point in the house). Changed DNS on Windows 7 machine to Open DNS.....(FYI, outside of US & Canada, Google DNS is pretty much useless and won't speed up your download speeds on Apple TV).  Restored Apple TV to factory settings and started again. Downloads from iCloud almost instant; downloads from shared computer almost instant; streaming from YouTube and Netflix almost instant. Happy days....

  • Apple TV 3 slow to download from iCloud and connected computer.

    Apple TV 3 slow to download from iCloud and connected computer. Wired via ethernet with very fast upload and download speeds. Can anyone help please? Accessing YouTube is even incredibly slow. Have reset, no joy. Have changed DNS to Google DNS, no joy.

  • Very slow video downloading from iTunes

    I have a FIOS 75Mbit connection (and get can 75Mbit on my N-router and Macbook Pro's WIFI).  But my new 1080p Apple TV is another matter. Two minute trailers take longer than 2 minutes to download. Half hour HD TV shows can take 90 minutes to download! And if I try to watch a movie I rented, Apple TV tells me it'll be ready to watch in "about 5 hours".
    So my immediate reaction is ***. Any ideas why my wireless performance is so great with my MBP and so terrible with my AppleTV (just 10 feet away)

    I stumbled across this thread looking for help with the same issue...slow to very slow movie downloads from iTunes.
    Changing the DNS, both on my iMac as well as my Airport Extreme router helped.
    I'm on Comcast and generally get around 33Mbps downloads via speedtest.net.  Based on several Namebench tests Google's Public DNS (8.8.8.8) has always been on top and I've always configured my router and Macs using the top 3 Namebench recommendations with Google at #1 position.  However while downloading movies from iTunes Activity Monitor showed very sharp "Data received/sec" rises and falls...anywhere from 4.40MB/sec to 100KB/sec or sometimes zero.  Most of the time it would start off well, but trail off to very poor and sporatic speeds after about 30 seconds.
    Per finaleMile's and other's recommendations elsewhere I removed Google Public DNS from the settings on my router and iMac and things improved with respect to stability.  Although the "top speed" of about 4.40Mbps didn't improve, downloads did smooth out and remain between about 2.30Mbps to 4.10Mbps during the entire download.  Not speedy but a marked improvement in stability and overall download time.
    Thanks for the tip!
    BTW, I've found that during regular web surfing, using Google's Public DNS is faster so I re-add it after downloading movies from iTunes.  It's a bit of a PIA, but worth it.  Wish there were a better option though.
    FWIW I tend to download rented and purchased movies to iTunes on my iMac and then play them back via my Apple TV3 rather than "stream" them directly from iTunes.  That way if there are external network problems they won't have a negative impact on our viewing experience.

  • 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

  • Since the last version of numbers in IOS 7 my documents have to be download from iCloud every time I open the app

    Hello everybody. Since I update my iPad mini to IOS 7 and update numbers and pages, I can´t view my documents offline because they have to be downloaded every time I closed and open the app. I have restore the IOS from scratch, not using any backup, and the problems is still there.
    Any advice?
    Thanks

    Try working through TS1717: iTunes for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8: Fix unexpected quits or launch issues to start with.
    Otherwise, for general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
    The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.

  • Very SLOW movie downloads from iTunes Store

    I posted this in a different thread, but saw it was already answered. Thought I would post a new thread.
    Downloaded and installed 9.0.1. Still having EXTREMELY SLOW download speeds on any movie downloads. I am downloading "Troy" and at this time it will take 18,000 hours to download. Something definitely is not right.
    Songs download at their normal speeds. Movies take literally forever.
    So 9.0.1 did not correct the problem.

    I usually test around 5 as well, but sure enough I noticed a HUGE slowdown in my internet speed after an evening of downloading rentals last week. The slow speed (less than 1.5!) continued on after that and it took a tech support call to my ISP to get it "fixed".
    My guess - Qwest is "throttling" video-intensive internet use. Torrent or not.
    I believe Qwest automatically throttles any encrypted downloads but I don't know if AppleTV downloads are encrypted?
    My speed is back up around 5 again, and I will keep a close eye on it next time I rent.

  • Some documents cannot be downloaded from iCloud?

    I have an amount of Pages documents syncing between my iphone and icloud, which so far has worked.But I read about people, who lost all their work in cyberspace, and as I have experienced that situation with wifi syncing earlier , I want to download a copy af my iwork documents from Icloud to my Macbook in order to keep an extra backup every now and then. How come I can only download some of my documents, for others the download possibility is inactive? I have found out, that it changes, if i open the documents one by one on my iphone, but that is really a very annoying way to go...
    Does any easier way exist to make all documents downloadable?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    As you've already worked out you need to open the documents on an iOS device after uploading them from your mac desktop.
    The simple answer here is don't delete them from your mac after uploading them, you shouldn't rely on cloud storage as a back up, in fact if you don't already keep a back up can I suggest you get yourself an external hard drive and start using Time Machine or another back up utility. Data loss is often sudden and unexpected and far too late to do anything about in many cases.
    If it becomes absolutely necessary you can also recover documents from your iOS device by saving them to iTunes, Emailing them etc etc.

  • Pages will no longer let me open files that I have previously downloaded, worked on and then saved on my mac. However it will let me open pages documents that I have started from new. I need the other documents to open and can't figure it out. PLEASE

    I just got my mac a month ago so go easy on me but I was just working with the pages that was already on it, and then today I know it updated, and now I am unable to open a lot of my documents!:(  Idk what you mean by the icloud version lol sorry! As for the version, when I open pages from my apps and click 'about' it says version 5.1? And when I open the document it just goes grey and kind of blinks and doesnt open? No error message or any indication of why it will not open now when I for sure have opened it in the past! Andddd for the OS X I think it is 10.9.1 ??

  • File hung on download from iCloud (pages, keynote, mac, iOS)

    I've got two files, one in Pages and one in Keynote, that are hanging on the download from iCloud. No matter what device (mac, ipad, iphone) I use to view iCloud it shows the file partially downloaded and "updating." I can't select it and I can't delete it. Unfortunately, for both files, they're the only version of them I have. Other files come and go no problem.
    I've tried reseting iCloud on all devices, restarting, reinstalling apps… no change. Would love to know what could be done about this.

    Hi Weaverj,
    You may have more luck in the iWork for iOS forum. In OSX it is easy to store the file locally.

  • I know why Pages sometimes very slow!!!!

    Hi, I faced the problem with Pages become extremely slow. Sometimes Activity Monitor showed that Pages used 58-70% of CPU (I run PowerBook with 2 Gigs of RAM)
    After readying all related threads and trying everything, the problem still remained.
    Then I tried something else - I changed all graphic settings from "Fixed on page" to "Moves with text." Bingo! No Pages flies consuming only 10% of CPU.
    My document was only 20 pages long and had a couple dozens of graphic items (some of them were groupped), still they consumed a lot of computational power.
    So, if your Pages document becomes slow and you suffer as I did - check how you postition graphics on the page and try what I have done.
    Have a nice day.

    I've tried all of the above to no effect. When I take one of the templates that Apple offers I can type at a normal speed. However, when I create an original document, text goes in sooo slowly as to make the program unusable. I have a simple two page three column brochure with about 400 wds in it and three simple jpeg files. I quite using Pages 1 for this very reason and Pages 2 hasn't seemed to have corrected the speed issue. Frankly Appleworks works better. I'm running a G4 1GHz Aluminium Powerbook and while it's over two years old it should have plenty of horsepower to handle this simple program. I've gleaned the lists here and other than anecdotal 'fixes' that work sometimes and sometimes don't I've yet to find a reason or a solution for this issue. Pages 2 will be put back on the shelf. No Office killer this...yet. On the other hand Keynote makes the buy worth while. I'm just disappointed that the world's best programmers have dropped the ball here. Frankly, I shouldn't have to implement 'work arounds' for a program this simple.

  • 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.

  • 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

    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
