Slow down loading of movie rentals after up date

since I did the 2.0.1 update, my rentals take hours before I can watch, use to be, I would rent and they would be available in a few minutes
I can still stream movies from iTunes, with no delay, and syncing seems to be just as fast
I 1st thought it may have been the .99 cent special i rented, and to many people were trying to DL at the same time, but since then I have rented 2 more movies and the same problem

probably just coincidence that you have slowness after update.
the most likely bottle neck will be your ISP... they could be throttling certain traffic, and the appletv downloads could be included in that.
if this is the case, there is nothing you can do about it.

HT1539 How do I get my Avengers music album after I down load the movie?

How do I get my Avengers music album after I down load the movie? It looks like it is included with the disk set I purchased.

If iTunes Match is turned off, go to preferences > store>Tick box show iCloud purchases. Once done all purchased music will appear. Go to song list view, select all tracks, ctrl+click and select download from pop up.
Alternatively, go into iTunes Store > Quicklinks purchased and select not on this computer. Select download all.

HOW DO I LOWER MY TV RESOLUTION TO DOWN LOAD A MOVIE FASTER THAN 3 1/2 HOURS?

Hi vivian184,

Switch between High Definition and Standard Definition
If your Internet connection is slow or High Definition movies or TV shows take longer than normal to start, try changing your Video Resolution to Standard Definition. From the main iTunes menu, choose Settings > iTunes Store and switch 1080p HD or 720p HD to Standard Definition. Your Movie and TV show purchases and rentals will now be in Standard Definition.
Cheers,

Slow down loading

As I said also rule out interference, also there could be ISP throttling either specific to the device, or at certain times etc.

Hello bunggy70,
The following article provides the necessary steps for downloading previously purchased content in SD.
Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes installed on your computer. You can download the latest version for free here.
Open iTunes on your computer.
From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
Navigate to your Purchased page. Find it by clicking Movies or TV Shows from the top navigation bar in the iTunes Store, and then click Purchased from "QUICK LINKS" in the iTunes Store.
Choose the appropriate video type: Movies or TV Shows.
In the lower-right corner of the screen, deselect the box next to "Download HD When Available."
Search for the desired video and click the download button.
This should download the standard definition version to your computer so you can sync to your device.
iTunes: Sync purchased HD videos to iPod or iOS device

HT203167 I ordered and paid for a movie without being on wifi or connected to my laptop. I have not been able to down load the movie that I paid for so how do I get it down loaded?

I have a couple of questions. I down loaded a movie when I was not hooked up to wifi or connected to my laptop. I was charged for the movie but I have not been able to down load it or find it anywhere in my account.
Question:
1. Where do I find this movie and how do I get it down loaded to my I Pad?
When I signed in to ask this question I had to go through a lot of sign in problems and also create a user name that is completely different that any of the sing in information that I have used previously. Which create a lot of questions:
1. Why did I have to create a user name that I never had to do before?
2. Will this change the sign in process in the future?
I will appreciate the answers to these questions
Thank you very much.

yes it could well do if your bank thinks there is something going on that is not from you they will block it. I have had this problem before, I would of thought they would of phoned me but they don't do that.
If I was you I would go to my bank make sure they are not doing anything like that. If they say it's all fine then i would phone up apple them self or go into my local apple store, as they should be able to look at what there servers are saying why it's not working.

Hello this is the first time I have ever had a problem. I am trying to down load a movie and it keeps giving me error -50. I have signed out and back in and deleated the download and tryed again and still will not download.

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:

That depends on the length of the movie, the resolution, and the speed of the Internet connection.

Slow down loads with ios 5.1

I have an iPad2 and iPhone4, Is anyone experiencing slower down loads speeds for Apps and Music under iOS 5.1?

The app is called Speed Test. I think that is what Diavonex is referring to. I have the app. I don't know that is absolutely reliable either or all that accurate. It is however, a starting point.
I think you just might experiencing what a lot of users are seeing - an overload on all of the Apple servers. With the new iOS to download and all of the apps that now need to be updated - things were a little sluggish for me for a couple of days. My download speeds for the app store seem pretty good now.
Have you even tried restarting or resetting your iPad to see if that helps?
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

I down loaded two movies to watch on a flight, when I tried two watch either one of them, it said" not authorized for this content" Not sure what this means. I don't think I have child control on.

I Down loaded two movies to watch on a flight. When I tried to watch either one of them it said " not authorized to watch this content" and it would load to watch. I donot believe I have child controls on.

I have read about some cases where movies rented or purchased on one device will not play on another device. Seems to happen mostly with Apple TV and iPads. One way some have worked around it is to cable from the downloaded device to a TV or Apple TV.
Were these movies purchased or rented from iTunes? Not sure, but that almost sounds like a iTunes Password problem. Maybe try checking that you're signed in as the same account that purchased the movies.

TS3212 hey I try to down load a movie for rent by it was load to my computer how do getit? or what?

I was try to down load a movie late nigth I didn't got my movie I don't want to pay for I didn't get?

In iTunes, select File/Preferences/General>When you insert a CD:> and set the option you prefer. I think these options have changed with recent iTunes updates, so your choices will depend on which version of iTunes you use.
