Podcast download takes forever! GET MOVING apple!!!!!!
my itunes 6 could download 3 podcasts at one time, whille my itunes 7 downloads only two, but the itunes 7 takes longer than itunes 6.
i finally be able to download the iOS update for both my iPad Air and iPad mini within 15 minutes. This is how to do:
When connected to iTunes and prompted the new iOS. click on "Download only"
then bring up the Downloads windows via "Menu->Windows->Downloads"
you will see "iPad Software Update". if you click on the progress bar, it will show the download speed.
if the speed is very slow (like 50kbps). then right click and choose "Pause"
then right click again and choose "Resume".
you might need to do several tries to get a reasonable speed, it took me 5-10 tries to get a 11.4Mbps speed.
My guess is there are some very slow servers on the other end and even if you are patient enough to wait, the server is not and eventually drops off. By pausing and resuming, you get a chance to connect to a faster server and be able to download the update within reasonable time.

IPhone 3.0 download takes forever
I've been trying to download the new 3.0 upgrade for my IPhone but it takes forever to back up my files. The process is extremely slow and I get half way through it and then get a message stating that my phone disconnected. Can someone help me with this?
You are free to work with any released SDK.
Beta/unreleased SDKs are for review and use by committed developers so that Apple can control their exposure as they are prepared for the general public.
Paying the fee to register as a developer brings additional benefits, one of which is access to pre-release software. A recent pre-release of iTunes was part of this program as well, again, providing a controlled environment that brings not only a first-look, but associated risks common to pre-release products. It isn't hard to imagine a free-for-all scenario leading to issues that would sidetrack an otherwise organized process.
if i plan to sell it i pay them an additional 30% of my income!?
You are also of course free to establish your own mobile platform, OS, app store, sales, marketing, development, support and distribution network where you can keep 100% as you like...after expenses, of course, whatever those may be -
It started 3 weeks ago. Downloading music from iTunes takes forever. Just 2 songs took almost 8 minutes. When I tried to listen to song samples before I buy them, the opening URL pop up box comes out with a message: "rebuffering stream" making the samples hard to listen.... how can this be fix?
I notice the same thing if I download a few songs simultaneously, that it takes longer. It is due to my DSL download speed being slower (faster DSL speed is not available in my area at the moment )
As far as the rebuffering issue, go into iTunes>Edit>Preferences and under the Store tab, check the box next to "Load complete preview before playing". This will load the entire preview and then start playback. I set mine this way because of my slower DSL connection to make it possible to listen to the entire preview without pauses for rebuffering. -
Web page downloads take forever since 3.6.12 was installed on my W7Pro x64 why ?
The older version of Firefox prior to 3.6.12 was never a problem ... all web pages downloaded fairly quickly but now since 3.6.12 was installed they take forever to load ... I can go and make a cup of coffee just about whilst firefox thinks about loading its shit !
Does anyone else have this problem and if so have you got a solution to this catastrophy ?...coz its pissing me off !I don't see any software that would be causing your slowdowns.
The only thing I noticed as that you are both running OS X Mavericks and Adobe Creative Suite with only 4 GBs of RAM.
OS X 10.9 Mavericks, by itself, needs a working minimum of 3-4 GBs of RAM to work quickly,smoothly and efficiently.
This doesn't leave enough RAM for any other third party applications to run. Especially if you are running multiple applications.
Your iMac year and model can take a total of 16 GBs of RAM max.
I advise that you purchase and install another 8 GBs of RAM for a total of 12 GBs of RAM.
Correct and reliable Mac RAM can be purchased from online Mac RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (macsales.com).
The only other thing I can offer is that you need to update all of your third party software to OS X Mavericks compatible versions by either using The Mac App Store for updates or go to the third party software developers' websites and look for updates.
Update all of your Internet web browser plugins, too!
It looks as if you have two identical versions of Adobe Flash Player installed. You need to remove/uninstall one of these.
Also, need to look for third party driver updates for any third party devices that maybe connected to your Mac.
Good Luck! -

When I rent a movie in SD from the iTunes store it tells me in the downloads section "preparing to download" and that msg stays there for hours before it downloads the movie, Why?
Perhaps try the "Error -50," "-5000," "8003," "8008," or "-42023" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

Time capsule takes forever to hand out IP address
I have a time capsule and I have an airport express. The time capsule is downstairs and the the airport extreme is upstairs.
I have them both named the same thing. I don't know if that's right.
Here's the setup.
On the main page of the Airport Utility
FROOTY - time capsule Firmware = 7.6.4
Internet page - DHCP and 2 DNS servers listed
Wireless page
mode = create a wireless network
Network name = Frooty
Security = WPA2 Personal
Wireless Options
5ghz network name = FROOTY 5GHz
Radio mode = 802.11a/n - 802.11b/b/n (Automatic)
2.4GHz Channel = automatic
5GHz Channel = automatic
Network = Off (Bridge Mode)
no DHCP Reservations
no Port settings
Enable Access Control = unchecked
FROOTYU - airport express (U = upstairs) Firmware = 7.6.4
Base Station name = FROOTYU
Internet page - DHCP and 2 DNS servers listed
Wireless Options
Network Mode = extend a wireless network
Wireless name = FROOTY
Security = WPA2 Personal
Wireless options = FROOTY 5GHz
Network tab everything greyed out
Enable access control unchecked.
My setup is as follows
The airport express is recently configured, but I think this was happening before I hooked it up upstairs.
I have a Nvidia Shield and the wireless *****. You have to be like 10' from the WIFI device so I put the airport express
upstairs so when I'm up there I don't have issues with the Shield Tablet.
My Modem is a Charter cable modem, downstairs, wireless off. Plugged into a switch. Plugged into the switch as well
is all the CAT5 jacks I'm using around the house. The Airport Express and the Time capsule are both plugged into CAT5 jacks. I don't know if the airport express needs to be plugged into a CAT5 jack as well? That part I don't get.
Anyhow, any new device that is connected to the network, it takes about 1- 1.5 minutes to get an ip address. This is becoming increasingly annoying, to the point where I'm considering getting rid of the apple wifi devices.
Any help is appreciated.This is what I did, posted below, but devices like my PS3 and my wifes Nook still take forever getting an IP it seems.
Temporarily, move the AirPort Extreme to the same room or general area of the Time Capsule, power it up, and wait a full minute.
Then, hold in the reset button on the back of the AirPort Extreme for 9-10 seconds, then release. Allow a full minute for the AirPort Extreme to restart to a slow, blinking amber light.
Close AirPort Utility if it is open.
Click the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of your Mac's screen. Wait a few seconds for the listing of New AirPort Base Station to appear.
Click on AirPort Extreme just below that and AirPort Utility will open automatically open and analyze your network settings. In the example above, this is shown as an AirPort Express. In another minute, you will see that it will configure the AirPort Extreme to "Extend" the network.
Enter a device name that you want to use and click Next
Wait another minute for AirPort Utility to configure the AirPort Extreme. When you see the message of Setup Complete, click Done.
Move the AirPort Extreme to a location that is approximtely half the distance from the Time Capsule to the area that needs more wireless coverage and power it up.
You are all set. -
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.

i used to have an ipod i downloaded tons of songs from apple then i moved to iphone4 i made a new id. today i decided to take a look at my old Apple ID and i saw all my old songs. i tried to re-download them and it said "Your Apple ID has been disabled" please help. my password is not an issue i put in new payment method PLEASE HELP
1. Don't confuse "Apple ID" with iTunes Account ID. You can have many Apple IDs but only one iTunes account active at a time.
2. If you "changed" your iTunes account ID, you actually have 2 accounts - one under the old name plus the new name.
3. You can't merge the accounts - they remain separate. Apps purcahsed under the old account name will update ONLY WHEN THE PHONE IS SIGNED IN TO THE OLD ACCOUNT NAME and visa versa.
4. Likewise, you can sync only the apps, music, media purchased under the account the phone AND iTunes are signed in to. -
When we go to view albums from our iphoto library on apple tv it takes forever to load and then it only plays between 24 and 35 photos then goes back to the start. Then it goes through again and displays 1 more photo each time. Please help!
It's likely that your Library database has been damaged in all the crashing.
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

I downloaded apps purchased with another Apple ID. But my data is missing. What can I do to get them back? I have a different iCloud id.
All apps are tied forever to the Apple ID used to obtain them, that is also true with In-App purchases.
Content bought using one Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID. -
I presently use iCloud and run a laptop PC plus an iPad2 and an iPhone 4. I plan to travel and want to take my netbook, rather than the laptop PC for travelling. How do I get my apple tools to work mwith a new, temporary PC?

You can export ONLY Camera Roll photos and videos.

Sign in to iTunes Store (on desktop itunes) with your ID. Plug your iphone to itunes, right click on it and choose transfer purchases.Right click again and choose backup. Then you can sync with iTunes.

Your conversations will not deleted if you sync with your iTunes.
What is the problem with iCloud? iCloud has nothing to do with iTunes syncing. -
Downloading and installing apps takes forever? New iphone 5s
I've been an android user since the first droids but I decided to give iphone a shot with the 5s, just picked it up yesterday.
Aside from getting used to a TINY screen, doing okay with it but I've noticed downloading and installing apps takes a LONG time on this phone compared to my previous androids (and I've had a lot, I switch phones every few months).
On android I touch install and for most apps (take pandora for instance), it's download and installed in LITERALLY like 5-6 seconds.
On this iPhone 5s, same wifi network, same location, same carrier (Verizon) it takes 1-2 minutes...A LOT LONGER than on android.
Is this normal? Why does it take so long? Are iphone apps huge in size compared to android versions? Can't figure out why its so different
