Rental Movie Download Speed Changed from 25 minutes to 10 hours

Two days ago I download two rental movies and each took about 25 minutes. Today I tried to download another rental movie and it is taking forever. If it continues at this speed, it will take about 10 days to download. My ISP is fine, I have checked my download speed and its 6.6MBps and I have not installed anything new on my PC. Please help.

I've had a few like that myself.
1. Right click on the download and chose 'Delete'. This is not ideal.
2. Get Apple tech support on live chat and have them 'nuke' it.
That should also get you back your money.

Upload and download speed is horrible. it takes hours to download a movie from iTunes.

VangieChuck the problem is definitely not iTunes it is your ISP download provision. Either your ISP needs to make a service call and solve your bandwidth issues or you need a better service, granted it all depends where in the world you are located. In Kappy's and my neck of the woods we are use to 5 - 250 Mbps download rates with an average of about 25 mbps for most city dewellers. Upload will vary depending on your service.

FCP6 BIG PROBLEM - Media Manager Speed change from FCP5.1.4

Hi!
We have problem using a media manager project from FCP5.1.4 in FCP6. Almost ALL clips with speed change are messed up (all new speed around 1% to 7%). This is really a problem for us, since we always do media manager of everything we do to be able to go back and make changes.
We have 2 MacPro 2 x 2.66Ghz, 8GB RAM, 10.4.9, Quicktime 7.1.6, FCP6, Decklink HD extreme or AJA Kona LH (with the latest driver).
We tryed with different format: HDTV 1080i50, DVCProHD 720p59.94, SD Uncompressed 10bit, .... always the same problem.
Is there a new way to use the MM in FCP6?
Thank you!

Hi! And thanx for the tip.
But we use Media Manager everyday with speed change WITHOUT any problem (with FCP 5.1.4).
We already try something similar, we copied the good clips (with speed change) from the ORIGINAL timeline to the media manager one, deleted the bad clip (with the wrong speed change) and pasted the good one in there place. Then we reconnected those clips with the MEDIA MANAGED one. We get a warning that the IN and OUT of the media are not the same, CLICKED continue and everything is always (well 95% of the time) OK.
SO yes, we have the solution, but it's really really long and painful, especially with multilayered sequences.
Right now, when I open any Media Manager in FCP 5.1.4 (created with FCP 5.1.4) everything works fine. Doing the same thing with FCP6 = speed change problem.
Thanks again,still looking for another solution.

I have big problems with mountain lion. you can not have a boot disk system I resulted in the need to re-download the os from scratch impiegandoci 8 hours, it is outrageous even with windows 95.

at least that the operator has confirmed to me that he called me. I also have problems with either the start of the mac with the power off. I can not understand if it crashes or is just very very slow.
Finally, I have a problem with the external hard disck. I often said to have been ejected incorrectly (not true) and I start to restore the startup recovery disk because disk utility is ineffective from the normal operating system .. is a shocking thing, but how you reduced. in four years it had never happened. seem to have windows or worse. Wake up.
I am an Italian, alas, and then I would like an answer to my language because my € are the same as German French or English.

You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''

My rental movie is not playing, and I have 24 hours to watch it, and I did want to watch it tonight, can I get reimbursed?

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the item, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.

HT1657 My rental movie downloaded in 43 minutes. Where do I go to play it. When click on rent so that I can play it a pop up message says are you sure you want to rent it again? What wow question. iTunes can not figure that this movie has not even been pl

I rented a movie in itunes n it took 43 minutes to download. So where do I click to play my rental movie? When I click on rent a pop up says that this movie has been already rented. So where is my rental movie n where do I go to click on play?

If you select the Movies part of your iTunes library, is there a rental tab shown on it ?

Since updating itunes to 10.1.x downloads went from minutes to many hours

I have a business class internet service which provides 25 mbps down and over 10 mbps up.
Before updating to itunes 10.4.x, an HD tv episode would download in a few minutes, always less than 10 minutes.
Since updating
1) itunes became unstable and crashed regularly
2) it refused to play ANY HD video.
3) downloads from the istore went from a few minutes per episode to many hours
I did all the normal fixes
itunes repair
itunes deinstall and reinstall
itunes and quicktime deinstall and reinstall
rebuilt itunes library
rebooted numerous times
rebooted cable modem
checked speed and verified minimum speed out of several tests was 12mbps
observed download performance in itunes where download started at 2-3 mpbs but rapidly dropped off to 50 - 100 kbps
monitored network performance and observed that most of the time the itunes client is waiting for inputs from itunes store server.
Generated a trouble ticket and have been through 3 levels of "go try this" with no improvement. At the stage where maybe I might get access to an actual support tech.
I am coming to the conclusion that this is a problem at the source where the server servicing the download is either very busy or slow which is creating a long wait period between packets. Basically my itunes client is sitting and waiting on the store for 9 hours to perform what used to be a 15 minute download.
Is anyone else seeing this problem? Does anyone have a recommended fix?

Thank you for your reply. I resolved with advice from 4 year old post instructing "holding down option key while restsrting iTunes and choose the preferred library", but thank you again,

TS1424 ipad: Rental movie downloaded 98%.. "unable to download movie" error

Good Afternoon,
I purchased a rental movie to watch on a plane ride today. Unfortunately the movie hadn't finished downloading before I left the house. I've tried 3 or 4 different internet connections (including verified very fast connections at the hotel and starbucks) and I get the "unable to download movie" error.
I can't find a way to delete the rental to try and start the download over, nor does syncing help. Please assist!
thank you,

HT1657 Why doesn't my rental movie download completely? iPad

I am trying to download a rental movie so I can watch later, hopefully during my flight. Movie almost completes downloading then stops and starts over.

Films that you rent and download directly on the iPad cannot then be transferred to a different device - if you want to be able to copy rentals to other devices then you need to rent and download it via your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1415

HT203180 how can I sync a movie downloaded on itunes from my personal computer that is authorized for my daughter's ipad, but the purchased movie was done under my apple id

To start off, I absolutely do not understand iTunes. I feel that with every new "upgrade" it becomes more difficult to use.
We have 3 apple ID's for our home to make syncing easier and not have complications with devices. I have a window's computer with itunes which is "authorized computer" for all 3 apple ID's in family (mom, dad, child). We purchased a DVD with digital copy, installed and redeemed the code for the digital copy. However, it would not allow me to "redeem" on my child's apple ID. therefore, the digital copy went into my apple id. Now I can not sync the movie to my child's ipad/apple id. How can this be done? Please help! I know it can't be that hard, or is Apple just making iTunes worse and worse.

The movie is from iTunes. You would think that a download from iTunes to a MacBook could be watched on an HDTV using Apple TV without any headaches bit this does not appear to be the case.

Rental movie download problems

I
I trie to download a movie ,it says it has downloaded buy won't let me play it

I have been having downloading problems for the last few days and despite all the tricky advice. iTunes jut can't solve the problem.
These are some of the actions taken:-
Uninstall and reinstall iTunes
Turn off Anti Virus (didn't like that one!) Then uninstall anti virus!!!!!! No!!!
Change preferences in iTunes
Update iTunes...etc etc etc etc etc! ZIP!
Think I will go back to Big Pond Movies as is a lot easier and less stressful.
Do I Tunes think everyone has telescopic eyesight? The text is so small (just like all their printed matter) have to use a magnifying glass.
As you can detect, I am less than happy.

Rental movie downloaded but credit card didn't get through??

I tried to rent a movie today but after the download it didn't playback properly so I thought the copy was bad and have to download again. I delete the movie and report a problem on iTunes but then I now realized that was because my credit card was incorrect.
Is there anyway I can download the rented movie back on Apple TV? I corrected my credit card into and the transaction did went through but I still haven't watch the movie yet. Please help.

Apart from doing a Check for Downloads in either iTunes or AppleTV Settings menus, and hoping it pops up, there's not a lot you or anyone here can do.
You need to contact iTunes Store support using the Support pages in your country for iTunes Store, and then ask them to look into it either using a live chat if available or raising a support query which they'll respond to by e-mail.

How to restart rental movie download on 5S?

I Rented 4 movies last night. Two downloaded fine, but I ran out of space. I made room for them, but can't figure out how to get the downloads started again.
There is nothing but a play button in the movies in the rental section in the movie app, and they are no lower in my current downloads in the Store. The movies do appear in my movie rentals, as a grey box.

Well I don't know here, could be many different issues. Maybe contact

Download speed goes from fast to slow.

So for the past 2 days, my internet has been having weird spikes. It will do its regular speed when downloading things (about 3.5 mb/s) to being so slow it's pointless to even download (downwards of a few bytes a second). I've tried the obvious stuff of resetting the router, trying both wired and wireless, keeping the router off for a set amount of time and turning it on etc. Is there any way to solve this issue without having to call an engineer to the house?
Thanks

That's weird, same thing started happening to me from last night. When I run speedtests on any site it always comes back at what I would expect, but realtime downloads are just shocking (see below). BT said it must be something to do with my setup... but I never used to have this problem and this is happening regardless of the download source e.g. downloads on steam, downloads on my PS4 etc..
