Pitiful download speeds for iTunes movies

8 hours to download a 3.64 GB movie (Identify Thief) and I am on Vderizon FIOS pushing 57m speeds that was tested during the download. This is a Apple problem and if not corrected will be the death of iTunes movie downloads. What's the problem Apple!!!!

If your country permits re-downloading delete the movie and re-download it.

Download speed for iTunes only 26KB

Hi everbody, I try to download iTunes with 26KB download speed. Is this a temporarally issue? My cable has a bandwidth as of 50.000 Mbit/ download.
Thanks for quick help and answer.

Your download speeds are almost entirely dependent upon your ISP. As far as I am aware, Apple does not throttle your download speeds.

What has happened to download speed for any video....tv, movies

Since about 2 days ago, the download speed for purchased video has become ridiculous. A 30 minute tv show takes MORE than 30 minutes to download......it used to take about 3 minutes...or less. I rented TRON yesterday and it took over 3 hours to download......it used to take 10-15 minutes. This happens on both my 2 Macs and 1 Windows machines. My Internet connections report a solid 20MB down and 1.5 up.....on every machine and device I have. It is NOT a problem in my home system or machines. All other downloads are fine.
Something is seriously wrong with Apple's iTunes websites. I am certain that there is nothing wrong locally......no machines have changed.....and they all experience this abysmally slow service.
Netflix streams full HD fine on all machines, by the way. I wouldn't even begin to download an HD movie from iTunes until someone at Apple figures out why their service suddenly is not useable.

My box has similar issues with Multiplex D (which Film 4 and 4 Music are on). My TV is absolutely fine but my Vision box is less happy. I have the channels listed but no picture. I keep meaning to replace my aerial leads but haven't got round to it. Strange thing though is that my aerial goes to my vision box which then goes to my TV so it makes no sense as I would expect the reception to be the same or worse on the TV as with the Vison box.

Dramatic fall in the download speed from iTune

Hey all,
Recently,I have seen a dramatic fall in the download speed from iTunes.
I have a 100/4mb line, which runs absolutely fine for everything else.
Currently, I am downloading an App on 42mb, which currently says it will take 26 mins to download.
Up until a few weeks ago the same file took 15 seconds!!! This problem is with my 2009 27" iMac.
If I do the upgrade of the same application on my iPhone 5 connected to the same router and Wi-Fi the download takes 15 seconds !!!

At that distance from exchange your max sync should be around the 2K you started with it may well increase again if left on 24/7
SN margin is not bad but may be worth checking for noise problems 6 Db is the target figure
Sn margin quoted by most routers is the figure that the system thinks your line needs for stable operation so higher is not better
Have you tried a quite line test
dial 17070 option 2 and listen - should hear nothing
best done with old type analogue phone digital will do but may have slight hiss
do not use home hub phone
If any post helps tick the star box on the left
Just cause Im paranoid dont mean they are not out to get me

The download speed in iTunes on mac is very very slow.

The download speed in iTunes on mac is very very slow (One film - 180 hours download time ???). I did a download via IPad, too. Via iPad the download was finished after 30 minutes.
Regards

Okay. I found the mistake. TimeMachine made backups on TimeCapsule (700 GB). So I had no more free space on TimeCapsule. Because the mediathek is on TimeCapsule, too --> Download speed was very slow.
Sorry for my silly question :-(

When I select a title in the iTunes Store and click on Play in iTunes I am sent to the download page for iTunes 10 which I have already. The selected title cannot be found anywhere in my iTunes. How can I get the title in iTunes with possibility to buy it

When I select a title in the iTunes Store and click on Play in iTunes I am sent to the download page for iTunes 10 which I have already. The selected title cannot be found anywhere in my iTunes. How can I get the title in iTunes with possibility to buy it?

The issue is that your credit or debit card credentials must be associated with the same country where you reside in order to purchase iTunes content.
"Although you can browse the iTunes Store in any country without being signed in, you can only purchase content from the iTunes Store for your own country. This is enforced via the billing address associated with your credit card or other payment method that you use with the iTunes Store, rather than your actual geographic location. You can use the iTunes Store in all countries of which you’re a resident, but you’ll either need a separate iTunes Store account for each one, or you’ll need to continually be switching the billing information on your single account. Generally, it’s simpler just to set up an alternative account for these situations, although it’s worth nothing that features like iTunes in the CLoud and iTunes Match are designed to work best when using a single iTunes Store account, as you can only switch accounts with these services every 90 days."

I need to update to the latest version of Snow Leapord-currently running v10.6. Because of where we live the slow download speed for such a large file has kept me from downloading the update. What can I do short of hooking up computer elsewhere?

Do you ever visit a friend or realtive with a Mac who has faster internet? Maybe the local library has Macs on a fast line. If so, get a USB thumb drive and put this link on it from your computer:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Then put this link on the drive:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1429
When you are at some place that has a Mac with a decent download speed. insert the thumb drive in that Mac and click on the first link ("DL1399") and direct the download to your thumb drive. Now do the same this with the second link.
The installer files will now be on the thumb drive and, when you get home, drag them from the thumb drive to your desktop. Install the Combo update first.

How to fix a download error for itunes on an iphone?

How can one fix a "download error" for itunes on an iphone?

Hi..
First, try resetting your iPhone.
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
Then restart the device. Hold the power button until "slide to power off" appears. Slide to power off. After it is off, press the power button to turn it back on.

Increase download speed for movies

I'm almost ready to give up on trying to download movies with iTunes.
I have a high speed Internet connection and cannot get any movie to download in less than 20 hours. Not typo I said hours. It seems to be a problem only with movies as all music and podcasts download no issue.
A recent movie purchase will not even start to download always says zero KB of 3.77 GB and comes up with an err = 12004 message after 12 or so hours. I've turned of all firewall and antivirus. I'm now using my Mac connected direct to router eliminating entire network in my house.
Has anyone else tried iTunes support. Not sure where they are from or even if they are a person as I got several pages of "help" emailed back to me with a plesant "credit" for some movie rentals (and yes my e-mail did specify it was a movie purchase) along with that was a detailed description on how not to download the movies from an iOs device directly.(and yes I told them I was using my Mac and in later email asked how I could install iOs on my Mac) LOL

Power cycle router.
Get a faster Internet connection.

Closed Caption Features for iTune Movie Downloads?

While I was glad to see that Apple plans to offer a movie download service with the iTunes Store, I'm still inclined to NOT use the service if there's no assurance that closed captioned/subtitled movies will be available as well.
Will iTunes Movie downloads include captioned media?
Today's DVDs all have features enabling us to turn on captions/subtitles and it's already a shame that Netflix, according to a representative's comment made nearly two years ago, will not provide captioned movies "until the near future"...
I hope Apple takes its hearing-impaired (deaf and hard of hearing) customer base into consideration...and it IS a sizeable customer base.

The question on the minds of the millions of deaf and hard of hearing people is whether Apple will make or enable captioning for their downloadable movies. I blogged about this a few weeks ago at HearingExchange online here: http://www.hearingexchange.com/blogs/?p=93 Apple didn't consider people with hearing loss when they made their iPhone non-compatible with hearing aids and cochlear implant processors. For a technology company, they aren't keeping up with accessibility trends. This is both disheartening and disappointing for people who struggle to participate socially and professionally on a daily basis with the world at large.

TS1717 The download speed for movies is terribly slow. It took hours to download. Any suggestions?

Any suggestions for improving download speeds on movies. It took hours to download my first purchase. I've used Amazon and Netflix for renting movies and had reasonable download speeds.

Hi Travelling fool 101,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like you were able to update the iPad but were eventually able to. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
Resolve issues with an over-the-air iOS update - Apple Support
Download takes a long time, or you can't reach update server
iOS updates require a persistent Internet connection, and the time it takes to download the update will vary according to the size of the update and your Internet speed. You can use your device normally while downloading the iOS update, and iOS will notify you when you can install the update. To improve the speed of the download, avoid downloading other content.
Cheers,
Mario

Is 12mpbs a decent download speed for Apple TV?

Hi,
I just did a speed test at home and I have 12mpbs, was just wondering if this is a decent speed for using my apple TV (wifi), cause my movies are taking a long time to download. I'm holding on customer support with apple as well, but thought someone out there might be able to help.
Thanks

I would also add that unless you have verified it yourself, the speed your ISP quotes/sustains may be optimistic - use something like speedtest.net to check.
That said I have used AppleTV since the first version and have always had below par internet speeds - at worst it means you may have to wait for iTunes rentals made on the device or cloud playback of prior purchases to buffer (mins to hours admittedly), but adaptive streamin eg Netflix should work well at lower speeds as will Home Sharing from iTunes on the LAN.
