Problem Downloading Movies on apple tv

I having a problem with downloading movies I just rent from itunes. The apple tv is saying it will take 4 hours to download one movie. I am thinking returning the apple tv. Let me know if anybody else is having the same problem this evening 12/11/10.

I am having the exact same issue. I will not be using my AppleTV to rent at all anymore. I am very pleased with the netflix streaming so I will use it only for that. I am on my 5th hour of waiting for a 30 minute show to download. As an experiment I downloaded the same show on my laptop. It used the same Wifi connection in my house. Laptop was 6 minutes. This is horrible.
That's because your Apple Tv gets interference. Try changing your router channel or move the Apple Tv a bit.
This is what it should be : http://gallery.me.com/bgroslouis#100077/IMG_0127&bgcolor=black

  • Problems downloading movies since upgrading to mavericks

    Ever since upgrading to mavericks when it was first released, I have had nothing but problems downloading movies in iTunes. What normally would take no more than 30 minutes to download a movie and iTunes extras has now turned into waiting more than 3 hours with no less than 4 error messages saying iTunes cannot download the movie and I have to relaunch iTunes or reboot my entire system. It is getting quite annoying and I can't seem to find a solution.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance.

    I upgraded to Mavericks on two computers and have display problems too! I have CC on one Macbook Pro (2011) and CS6 on another (2012) and I'm now almost positive my display problems are triggered by InDesign. I don't have to be doing anything special, and I don't have to be working in InDesign at the time, but InDesign has to be open and I get things like this:
    Once it turns magenta or green, that's when I have to boot the system. I can still work with the glitchy display before it turns colors and if I'm still able to quit InDesign while it's glitching, the display goes back to normal. Same on both computers and the 2011 one has a new logic board in it.
    At first I thought it had something to do with connecting my hard drive or my external display, but the display issues happened with both computers with nothing hooked up. Those are ruled out now. I took my 2012 computer to Apple and they told me it was a software issue and all my hardware is ok. Obviously they didn't fix the software issue because it's still happening.
    This is not normal and needs to be fixed soon!

    Most movies have Dolby surround sound. Seems like you don't have all sound channels coming out of your speakers.
    Is the AppleTV connected to a receiver or to a TV?
    If you have a receiver that supports dolby surround you should configure the sound settings of the Apple TV and receiver accordingly.
    If it's connected to a TV the audio setting "Dolby Digital" in the Apple TV should be set to off.

  • Problem renting movies with Apple TV

    Having a problem renting movies using Apple TV with Comcast cable and Netgear gigabit wireless router.  After selecting a movie to rent and clicking "rent" a message appears: "Accessing iTunes Store", after some delay a second message appears stating an inability to connect to iTunes store, try again later. This issue is intermittent. At any given time a movie can be rented and streamed, but more than 50% of the time, the rental fails.

    We're not really sure as yet - there certainly seem to be no comments on subtitling as a feature.

  • ITunes 7.0.1(7):  Problems Downloading Movies from iTunes Store

    Prior to installing the iTunes 7.0.1(7) upgrade, I had no problems downloading movies from the iTunes store. After I noticed that there appeared to be rate-limiting on the inital movie that I purchased, I simultaneously downloaded three other movies and watched one of the movies while they were downloading.
    No problems with downloading multiple movies but severe problems with using iTunes 7.0.0 as a viewer. An inadvertent movement or click of the mouse resulted in the video portion of the movie disappearing. To solve the problem, I created symlinks in the QuickTime Player's ~/Movies directory to the downloaded movies. Using QuickTime as a viewer was a significant improvement over iTunes.
    Upgraded to iTunes 7.0.1(7) when it was released. Today I discovered that the release has significant problems downloading movies.
    After the initial download of the movie to /private/tmp, the iTunes download panel displays a message stating that it is processing the file. One would assume that it is inserting the chapter bookmarks and transferring it to the ~Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Movies directory.
    Not so. Its downloading the movie a second time. The processing file message is displayed a second time followed by a pop-up window reprting that the file is corrupt with an error code of 10008. Looks like one of Window's infamous network error codes. Wonder what it's doing on a Mac?
    Enough of my diatribe. Are others seeing this? Do you have a "work around" or solution to the problem?
    PowerBook 17, PowerMac G5   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   iTunes 7.0.1(7)

    I did run Disk Utility after reporting my problems here and to the iTunes Store. The "Check Permissions" scan found two iTunes with the incorrect permissions. As the permissions were correct prior to the upgrade, I presume the executable permission flags were turned on during the upgrade. Repaired the permission problems.
    Also, I performed a reboot as was mentioned in a discussion of a slightly different problem. I was able to download one of the movies. The second failed about half-way through the download with a 9006 error.

  • Error occuring when trying to download movie from apple tv

    When ever I rent a movie from apple tv an error occurs when I go to downlaod it. The error just says that the movie cant download right now, try again later. Even after numerous attempts the movie still wont download. This had been happening for months and I've just been watching movies from netflix. I'm being charged for movies I can't even watch! How can I fix this problem?

    First, what is your internet speed? www.speedtest.net
    iTunes HD content requires 6mbps (SD would be 3mbps)
    Netflix uses variable bit-rate so it simply degrades on slower connections
    iTunes content waits to play until enough has buffered for playback without interupption

  • Cannot play any downloaded movies on Apple TV

    I have a downloaded movie in my iTunes library, and Home Sharing is enabled both on my Apple TV and on my iTunes. The same thing always happens when I try to play the movie. The play bar will appear, showing the correct time, but the spiral loading icon will keep spinning forever while never loading the movie. The exact same thing happens when I try to airplay a video I shot on my iPhone.
    I never get this problem when airplaying YouTube, HBO Go, or Netflix. What is causing this problem with local videos, and how do I fix it?

    1. Do you have by any chance your iTunes Library stored on an external drive?
    2. Does Apple TV plays your movie after you have once restarted your iTunes?
    As of today my only option is after a fresh download to restart iTunes and it works again.
    Currently investigation and once found out I will post it here.
    It is really anoying.
    I found that article http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2972
    it seems Apple is aware of this connectivity issues and offers what I am doin anyway. When it comes to connection problem restart everything (seems that is a more easy solution for them instead of fixing it)

  • Problems downloading movie rentals to my ipad3

    Just rented two movies from iTunes, one began to download to my ipad and then stopped. Error message 'cannot download movie at this time'.  Any suggestions?  Should I have downloaded them to my computer first and then to my ipad?  Can I cancel the rentals, don't want to pay for them if I can't download.

    All things being equal - there is no reason why you should not be able to download the rentals right to the iPad. But things like an interruption in the Internet connection - a hiccough in the connection - could pause the download or cause a problem. You can try to resume the download, or see if you can download the rentals on your computer and then move them to the iPad.
    You could try restarting or rebooting the iPad and see of the downloads will resume. You can try signing out of your ID, restart the iPad and sign in again and then try to resume the downloads.
    Once you tap on Rent or Install or Buy - the iTunes cash register rings up the purchase so that's a done deal now. You can't cancel it. You can contact iTunes support if the movies will not download and they should be able to get you through it - one way or the other.
