Slow ATV when downloading YouTube vids, Podcasts, etc.

Loved my ATV in version 1. After software update to 2.02 ATV now takes a considerable amount of time to download or view any YouTube video, Video podcasts or rented movies from iTunes. Was wondering if anyone had a solution.
Here is what I have done:
On version 1.0 my ATV download and play response time was quick (within 5 seconds I was watching the video clip. If I remember correctly there were two updates to the ATV. When the 2.0 update came out my ATV was still speedy, however, recently after the 2.0 update, the last update came out and that caused all response to be slowwwwwww. It takes about 2-3 minutes for a YouTube video to play or a video Podcast from iTunes, or a movie trailer. (I have a Netgear n/g router with the ATV on the N and PCs on G)
I use my ATV as a standalone device on the network...I rent and download everything from the ATV interface. Recently I did a factory reset back to version 1.0 and the speed was fine. Upgraded the ATV to the lastest version and everything is slowwwww again.
I did another restore back to 1.0 and am stuck there. I want to have the new 2.0 interface, but the speed of use is ridiculously slowwwwwwwww. Does anyone have any tips? Have you experienced this?
If you have any solutions or know where I can get my hands on installing the 2.0 version of the software please let me know.
Thanks!
Christine

Just wanted to update my earlier message...I did update to the latest version of ATV 2.1. The slowness started in 2.1 not 2.02. That version still had the Apple TV running at good speeds! ATV 2.1 is when the problems started...

Slow speed for downloading app and podcasts by WiFi

My Ipod Touch 5G is very very slow for downloading apps and podcasts, but not with internet browsing or youtube videos. I have an Ipad 2 with not problems in the same WiFi network. But the Ipad don´t have the last iOS update (6.0.1).
Anyone else have the same issue?

Download speed on wifi on my iphone is also slow, but only when downloading podcasts...
Running 6.0.2 on iPhone 5.
On WIFI I can download a 45 mb app from the appstore in less than a minute. I can stream Youtube and Netflix with no problems. Internet browsing - no problems.
But downloading podcasts with Instacast 3, Downcast or the Apple Podcast app happens at a rate of 20-50 kb/s when on WIFI. As soon as I switch to 3g (I am in a european country where 4g/LTE is not yet available) my download speed goes to between 300kb/s and 2 mb/s.

On the Create CD Jacket section of the Adobe Photoshop elements 12 why do I only have one template when the YouTube vids say there are an assortment???

I need help to allocate the templates for the CD Jackets section on the Elements 12 because it's only bringing up one on my screen.

Try asking in the Photoshop Elements forum here:

You will probably find someone who can answer your question there.

Error -3150 when downloading from iTunes Store

For the past several days since upgrading to iT8, when I've tried to download files from iTunes, it has errored out at some point of the download with error -3150. I got this error when downloading a 9MB podcast file, and also a 1.64GB HD tv show.
When I got it on the podcast, it reset all of the file's progress and started over. Thankfully, it did not do it with the TV show (which was 999MB through) or I would have been considerably more upset, but it did waste all the time I was using to download it. ADSL is terrible in the country I'm currently staying in, but it's all that's available to me.
In any case, I have not seen any mention of this error anywhere, and would appreciate knowing what it means, and more importantly, what Apple is doing about it.

Well, I guess that will have to do. Thanks for the heads up. It is a DSL connection, and there's not much that I can do about intermittent connections because cable/satellite is literally nonexistant in this country. However, Apple might want to consider revamping their file transfer protocols if this is going to be a standard problem - this would be in their best interest especially since they're going to be releasing the iPhone all over the world, and very few places have Internet speeds like USA and East Asia.

I have bought an iPad 2 recently but when i open itunes, i only have 3 buttons. (downloads, itunes U, podcasts) how do i get the music, music videos etc. buttons?

Reinstall iOS via iTunes on your computer.

Youtube vid on aTv slow to load, but fast on PC

Hi, I have a 384kb/s ADSL connection. On my aTv I selected a vid on youtube, then I had to wait about 5 minutes for the vid to start showing. During this time the vid is obviously being buffered. After I watched the vid I marked it as a favorite. I then whent to my PC, logged into youtube, went to my favorites, selected the vid and it started showing immediately while buffering.
What I cant understand is, why does it take so long to start on the aTv, when the aTv and my PC are both on the same ADSL connection.

Maybe the web one is 320 resolution and flash, but the AppleTV one is higher resolution and in 264 format (meaning a bigger file size)?
Also, the AppleTV is probably hitting a different server than when accessed through the web.
Just a thought.

You can't even play YouTube vids w/o Adobe Flash after YouTube disappears when we download OS6: so goodbye YouTube on the IPad: very stupid.

You can't even play YouTube vids on the IPad w/o Adobe Flash after you download OS6: so bye! bye! YouTube on the IPad after you download: so my question is why didn't Apple tell us: I'll never trust them again.

YouTube through safari works just fine for me.
Google has a iphone app for youtube in the store, ipad version coming soon supposedly.
It was common knowledge for months that the integrated youtube app was gone.

My iPad has started running slow when using YouTube how do I fix it?

When I play vids on YouTube it's started taking forever to buffer! Never had this problem before but tried few things like restoring iPad, turning it on and off and turning my Internet modem off. Can anyone help pleas?

I also have this problem and have search the support boards at apple and other websites. I have tried the suggestions and nothing so far has helped...changed DNS, tried YouTube using safari, rebooted my iPad..killed all apps, etc. I use iPad at my library and Internet here is great. I can't make changes to their routers as some sites have suggested. Funny thing is I end up using my Samsung Galaxy SII to view these same YouTube videos and it's lightening fast at my library...a little slower using my data plan but not by much. Wish I could use my iPad as the screen detail would be better but too slow, lags to the point of not even being fun. This is my 1st apple product and it's leaving a bad taste in my mouth....from what I see posted on the boards this is a BIG problem for many, many users...can't even believe apple doesn't know about it and have an official solution!

Podcast seems to time out when downloading

When I start a download of a podcast, it will download for a minute or so and if the podcast is not fully downloaded, I tunes stops down loading the file.

It should not take 4 hours! That may mean the servers are busy, so come back later.
When I went 3.0.1 to 3.1 I had a glitch and ended up having to Restore my 3GS. The entire process -- download, install and Restore -- took about one hour. Then I had to spend another hour or so reloading all my music, video, apps, etc. from the iTunes backup.
I've not had any difficulty updating the OS before, starting with my original iPhone in July 2007. My guess is that the problems arise from having a new iTunes 9 and OS 3.1 at the same time.
Do keep trying: You'll get there!

No sound when accessing internet video (i.e. youtube, Skype, flash, etc)

No sound when accessing internet video (i.e. youtube, Skype, flash, etc). It says I am missing a driver but not sure where to get it without paying $30 for something that shouldnt be missing in the first place.

Hi,
Try the following.
Download and install Firefox and then using Firefox, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash.
Close all browser windows before running the Flash installer.
Launch Firefox and see if the videos play Ok - if they do, close Firefox, open IE and click on the same Adobe Flash link above to get a prompt to install the ActiveX component. When done, restart IE.

Problems when downloading keynote podcast.

when i try to download the oct. 14 keynote podcast, it downloads about 99% of the podcast and then itunes freezes up and my computer starts to run super slow. ive tried downloading it several times but each time it freezes. what should i do??

i tried going to the website and it tells me tha the media is not available. then i tried going the the main website (http://release.theplatform.com/) and it asks me to login with a user name and password. so, if you are trying to download the podcast from this link it is probably not available anymore.

IPad Air connected to iTunes - freezes when selecting movies, podcasts, etc.

New iPad Air connected to the latest update of iTunes, syncing just fine. When I select the iPad and then go to Summary - no problem, go to Apps - no problem, go to Podcasts - FREEZE. iTunes has to be shutdown using Task Manager and the iPad reconnected. The only sync settings areas I can look at are Summary, Apps, Books, Photos...any other sync setting area causes a FREEZE.
I've tried re-installing iTunes, resetting my iPad, etc., etc., etc.
Any helpful suggestions?

So I just spent an hour restoring my iPhone, then restoring from backup (40Gb filled in a 64Gn iPhone takes a while). Very interestingly, I watched all my podcasts get copied into my iPhone but they are not accessible from the Music app, nor are they found when doing a Spotlight search!
I downloaded Apple's Podcast app and they seemed to appear there (couldn't tell for sure, app is confusing and it was accessing Wifi so I diodn't know what it saw, or if it was fetching files). But of course that app has no smart folders and accessing new podcasts and podcasts based on time-length is impossible.
Oh yes, after the restore I tried clicking on the Podcasts tab and iTunes froze up again....

Where can I see the downloads LIST when downloading podcasts, like in the older version of iTunes? I find it frustrating that I see only one at a time now ! Any suggestions please?

Thanks for taking a stab at it: that didn't prove to be the problem. That option in the settings for tabbed browsing was not checked.
I may be a bit behind the times: I am used to tabbed browsing showing all the tabs it possibly can, instead of just the last one. Sometimes it won't even show the last tab: I can have 15 tabs open, and not see a single tab. I've been confused by this into closing a window with lots of tabs open, because it looks like a single page-window.
My main problem with the tab-bar flashing to the end of the row is that it means a great deal more mouse-clicking around to browse.
I haven't tried installing the latest beta. Maybe that would fix the problem.

Problems when downloading a podcast

Hi,
I need help on what to do when I get a error message when downloading a podcast. To be specific, the Mad Money Jim Cramer's Podcast.
When I try to download the podcast, the message that appears is: "There was a problem downloading, Authorization is needed to access, http://release.theplatform.com/release/content.mp4?pid=JY98jfsO...."
How can I fix this??

i tried going to the website and it tells me tha the media is not available. then i tried going the the main website (http://release.theplatform.com/) and it asks me to login with a user name and password. so, if you are trying to download the podcast from this link it is probably not available anymore.

Just recently getting error message when downloading podcasts. Says "The iTunes Library file cannot be save. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." Doesn't happen every time. Using Windows 7. What can I do?

Hi, DickmoAZ.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
This sounds like a permission issue most likely with the iTunes Media folder. Here is an article that will help you troubleshoot this issue.
