Running OSX 10.6.8 iTunes 10, rental movie will take 6 hours to download for what reason?

When renting from iTunes, I have to rent the movie early in the morning so it will be downloaded by the afternoon to watch in the evening. Why does it take so long to view a rented movie? I'm on Cox with extra bandwidth-high speed connection.

Thank you so much Paul_31 for your suggestions, HUGELY appreciate the effort
I have reset the printing system, a few times for good measure but nadda.
I have also looked at getting the software from the Apple site after seeing that with Snow Leopard you should let the operating system lead the install not the manufacteurers software as it is most likely out of date. I too found it wasn't there so I uninstalled the software got up the CLX_3300 series stuff then went from there with the USB cable. It apparently hasn't worked either
Unfortunately now after using the print utility to scan for a while that has now gone again on the last restart of the Mac. I am so completely clueless
The box says the printer is compatible, the place of purchase said it was compatible, the Samsung site says it is compatible.
I think it's the set up of my Mac? Our maybe a glitch in the network settings?
Thanks again

HT201364 Trying to download a free version of OS X MAVERICKS. I AM RUNNING OSX 10.7.5 BUT NOTHING HAPPENS WHEN I CLICK ON THE DOWNLOAD FOR MAVERICKS

I am running OS X Lion 10.7.5 and trying to download a free upgrade to OS X Mavericks. When I click on the download button nothing seems to happen. I realize it takes some time to download but I do not see the status of it slowly downloading. I shut my computer down and rebooted and tried again with no success. Running Lion 10.7.5 is my computer compatible to upgrade to Mavericks? Any suggestions?

The system (computer) requirements for Mavericks are posted on the web site. If your computer will handle it, you can update directly from OS X 10.7.

I'm running OSX 10.5.8 - iTunes 10 will no longer export to my iPhone. At the moment I don't want to upgrade my OS so I can download iTunes 11. Is there a workaround?

If it's because you updated the device to iOS 6, yes; click here and download iTunes 10.6.3.
If it's because you bought an iPhone 5, fifth generation iPod touch, iPad 4, or iPad mini, no.

Mac osx 10.6.8 itunes launches automatically and will not respond to quit or force quit

mac osx 10.6.8 itunes launches automatically and will not respond to quit or force quit in the Activities Monitor. When I quit or go into the Activities monitor and try to quit, it goes off, briefly, then immediately relaunches. If i turn the computer off, and then on, iTunes launches automatically. ITunes 10.4. The only thing I remember doing different, lately, is I just updated a couple of days ago. Has anyone else had this issue? Thanks!

Are you using a PC or Mac?
Here is a link for iTunes support and a couple of articles that might assist you in your dilemma:

You need to make sure your billing address is correct whether or not you use an iTunes gift card or not.

"Note: The payment methods that the iTunes Store accepts can be found in the payment type section. If you do not want a payment method on your account, select None in the payment type section."

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.

It depends on the speed of the Internet connection.

Purchased movie from Itunes wont sync with Iphone but rental movie will????

I purchased a movie from Itunes and it shows up in my library movies but it wont sync with my iphone. Before I bought the movie i rented a movie to make sure it works and I liked the format so I know that it can auto sync with the iphone. In they Sync section of Itunes under videos it only has 2 headings. Rental movies and TV shows. There is no option for Movies at all so it does not even come up to transfer it over to the phone like with the rental.
I have solved the problem temporarily but would love help on a proper fix. If I check the box manual merge music and videos on the summary page I can get the movie over by dragging it from the library and dropping it into the phone but it still does not show up under the video tab but is on the phone. This then deletes all my music and I have to manually sync that as well.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am using a mac book with an iphone and a move in Itunes that I actually paid for - from itunes. I just cant figure it!
Natalie

I think the layout in sync could be improved for movies perhaps putting Purchased Movies right after Rental Movies. When I am on that tab, Rental Movies (I have none and it tells me so) and then TV shows are visible on the screen with lots of blank space under. I had to scroll down to find the movie sync option (which may seem pretty obvious - but with all the white space after TV shows, I didn't notice that the scroll bar had room to scroll further). Yes, I feel a little stupid (and grateful to you for making the solution so obvious), but I do think the tab layout contributed to my ineptness.

ITunes 10 rental movie error 8008

In iTunes 10, I try to download rental movie Judas Kiss. It stops at 200,1 MB with error 8008. Already deleted a temp file. Any idea?
Cheers,
Naat

To: b noir
Reporting:
I deleted the Downloads folder (within the Music Folder) it did have a very small partially downloaded file for the movie. I opened iTunes and selected Check for Available Downloads – it began the download showing approx. 17-minutes time remaining — then the time remaining in the window quickly reduced to 3 minutes and then stopped. Exactly what has happened every time I have tried. I think the file is corrupted (as one of the message windows suggests is possible). I also tried to download from another of our computers and the same thing happened.
I have spoken with Apple and they have also been in touch via email. I answered all their questions and responded quickly but here in Seattle, WA USA we do have a snow storm today though my broadband connection remains steady and fast — but it is now 7:30 PM so any chance of resolving this issue and settling down to enjoy The Ides of March tonight is probably out. Ironic movie title for a problem download.
I am now downloading Moenyball (Brad Pitt) and so far it IS downloading properly. I decided to take another $3.99 risk to see if it was my computer or connection or Apple's iTunes movie file for the other film. I have my answer!
Thanks for playing… I really do appreciate your help.

Why does it take hours to download a rented movie from iTunes.

When I rent a movie or TV show from iTunes with my AppleTV (2), the download starts and I get a message saying the download will take an an hour and 45 minutes to download. Then when the download it complete and I start to play it, I get a message saying downloading - and the rental never starts.
My AppleTV (2) it running the latest version, and it's plugged directly into my router via ethernet. I have reset the Apple TV, router and modem.
Netflix and YouTube streaming through AppleTV are immediate and seem to work fine.

What is your actual internet speed? use www.speedtest.net and post the results.
A sustained 6 Mbit/s or faster Internet connection is recommended for viewing High Definition movies and TV shows, and a sustained 2.5 Mbit/s or faster Internet connection is recommended for Standard Definition content. Internet connection speeds may vary depending on your ISP and other factors.
Using Netflix or Youtuve is not a good test as Youtube is must lower quality than HD rentals, and Netflix uses a variable quality download system that reduces quality based on your internet speed.

HT1657 I am downloading a rental movie and accidentally stopped the download. How can I restart the download?

I am renting a movie via itunes to Apple TV and accidently stopped the download, I cant see where to restart download. I have tried to check it out in Settings but cant get any info in regards to "check for rentals"
There must be a way i can view the download and determine how long and re-start the process.
Any ideas would be most appreciated.
thanks

Once you've pressed 'buy' you will have been charged, whether or not you then download it. All purchases are considered final, but you could try contacting iTunes support and see if they will give you a credit/refund : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Express Lane, then iTunes > iTunes Store

Cannot watch rental movies on iphone 3gs since downloading OS6

Since downloading 0S6 on an iphone 3gs, I get the message "Cannot Open" for two rental movies, one of which I had watched half of and one which I had not watched at all. The time is now ticking away until expiry on both of them and I'm unable to watch them. I've tried a reset but that didn't work.
I have rung up Apple UK twice and got two different operators, one in the UK and then one in the USA. Both seemed very isolated with no contact with other Apple Mac staff except through computer. One told me to contact iTunes support online (he gave me an url and then realized it was the American url and not for the UK) and the other gave me the same url and told me to contact iphone support online.
Both times I was left waiting for an inordinately long length of time when I suspect the operators were dealing with other calls. In fact, I got the impression, rightly or wrongly, that I was dealing with people who were working from their own homes with minimal training and support and who were being paid for the number of calls they took and, if there was a call like me which didn't come up with a solution on the computer screen, they went on to other calls and left me hanging.
I did manage to find the Apple UK support page on my own but when I tried to contact them the error message "Service Unavailable - DNS failure. The server is temporarily unable to service your request. Please try again later. Reference #11.7f2645f.1348163355.65fe47"
https://expresslane.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action?locale=en_GB&caller=cup
I haven't had to contact Apple UK for a year or so but I've never had such an awful, waste of time experience before with people who did not seemed at all trained or given the facilities to handle calls. Can somebody please help me on this or give me an email address for Apple Support UK?

I believe the issue is that you have to be connected to the Internet (the iTunes Store) when you play the movie. I'm not sure if that's just when you initially start the movie or not. This is necessary, I'm assuming, to keep tabs on their time limits for viewing the movie once it's started. You could go to iTunes Store and scroll to the bottom and click on Terms of Use. It's all spelled out there under Rentals.

Rental movie will not play because it has been authorized by another source., rental movie will not play because it has been authorized by another source.

Hello, I downloaded a rental movie, watched the first 20 minutes with Apple TV and now I would like to restart and watch on my macbook... Itunes says it has been authorized by another device and will not play.

If you cannot resolve the issue which prevents you from playing it on the laptop, click here and request assistance.
