HT1577 Why am I experiencing long download times for an HD movie rental from itunes?

I have been experiencing long download times for movie rentals from itunes (this time 11 hours). I have even tried to use ethernet, turn off simultaneous downloads, and shut down my browser, to speed up the time but that didn't help. My internet download speed is about 7mbps. Any suggestions?

iTunes: Purchasing and viewing HD videos
When you purchase an HD video on a supported device or computer, only HD video will be downloaded. To download the SD version, you need to download the video again from your Purchased page. Conversely, if you purchase an HD video on an unsupported device, the SD version will be downloaded. Then, you will need to download the HD version from your Purchased page.

No. Once downloaded to an iOS device it cannot be transferred to another iOS device or computer, & can only be watched on that iOS device.

If you have anti virus software installed, disable that.
Turn off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security & Privacy
Check your internet speeds just in case > Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test
Try not using other applications that require downloading files while downloading media from iTunes.

When you download from your IPAD a movie rental from ITUNES-where do you go to find it?

When you download a movie rental from the ITUNES app. on my IPAD-how do you find the movie rental to be able to watch?not under video,purchases,movies-?

If you don't find it in the Videos App look in the iPod App as well. If you still can't find it, from your home screen, swipe to the right to bring up the Spotlight search feature. Type in the name of the movie. If the movie appears - tap it and it should begin to play.

PLEASE HELP ME....DOWNLOAD MOVIE VIDEOS FROM ITUNES STORE

Hi, I am trying to buy and download movie's from the itunes music store. Is this possible or can you only purchase music? How do I do it? I went through the full tutorial for itunes and it only talks about music and podcasts...Can someone help me...thanks

you can got ot your local video sttore and purchase movies there that you would like to own. And then you can convert the movies to the ipod format and then sync the video files to itunes and sync them to your ipod. I dont think that i ned to name places where you can purchase movies right?????? That said then you will need to convert the movies.
First you will need to tellus what operating system your using before we offer solutions for you.

I just downloaded a movie rental from iTunes. Where did it go?? It's not in downloads, purchased or anywhere that I can see.

Just downloaded a rental movie to iPad, It's not showing up in purchased, downloads, or anywhere else I can tell. When I reselect the movie from movie section, it says it's downloaded
On my desktop, it created a separate section called "rentals"

Downloaded films (and those synced from your computer) should be in the Videos app (iTunes on the iPad is just the iTunes store) :

Problems downloading and watching first movie rental from iTunes

I wanted to try renting a movie through iTunes tonight and it has been constant problems on my Windows 7 64-but PC home theater PC with iTunes 10.5. I was going to rent it through Amazon Video on Demand, but they didn't offer the movie in HD on a PC (I would need a Ruku box, Tivo or Blu Ray player to get Amazon Video in HD). I have used Amazon SD and Netflix HD streaming on the PC with no issues, so it is not normal to have problems streaming video with this PC or the internet connection here.
The iTunes download was indicating it will take 2 hours and I let it buffer about 30 minutes on my 15Mb connection. Over 1 gig is cached.
I can only play the movie a few minutes at a time before the movie playback and download both stop with unknown error -39 and I have to manually resume the download every few minutes and restart the movie or else iTunes freezes completely and I have to kill it and restart it and I have also rebooted the PC.
The 24 hour rental countdown has already started since I have already attempted to start watching the movie and it doesn't look like I'm even going to have time to finish watching the movie now. Every time iTunes crashes and I relaunch it, I now have to re-enter my iTunes password just to get into iTunes.
This has been a complete nightmare and waste of time and waste of the $4.99 rental fee.
Are there any fixes to these issues?

I waited for the download to complete and now when I play the movie there is no sound!!
The movie had sound before even though I could only play a few minutes of the movie at a time.
I have sound everywhere else on the PC including the music in iTunes. Only the movie playback has no sound.
I have tried rebooting, reinstalling iTunes and I even installed Quicktime because an old thread about iTunes movie rentals playing with no sound suggested installing Quicktime separately, but it has not helped.
This is a very poor experience renting movies through iTunes.

I cannot download movies/ tv from iTunes Store and I do not have any restrictions on? Please help?

Hi
Hope you had a great Xmas ! I got some iTunes vouchers and wanted to download some movies and music. Music was fine but can't download any movies. The music pages are white and movies etc have black background and will not let me play previews.
Any help appreciated
Many thanks

Also I forgot to mention that when all this was happening, I wanted to Retore my iPod but this option was also greyed out in the summary section and it wouldnt let me do it, therefore I hooked it up to my Windows XP machine and was able to restore the iPod. Now it was formatted for Windows. I hooked it up to my Mac machine and got all the same problems but it downloads everything from itunes to the iPod except purchased music.
So I opened iPod Updater and it said that it cannot update the iPod because it if formated for Windows. It also says if I now want to Restore it, I need to connect using a firewire cable whereas before I was using a USB cable because it said the Nano is not compatible with a firewire cable.
Arghhhh.

Transferring Movie Rentals from iTunes to Apple TV

I bought Apple TV (40gb) yesterday and have tried to transfer 3 rented movies over to it from my iTunes but everytime I try to copy them over i get an error! It says that Apple TV could not connect to the iTunes Store even though it is connected as I have downloaded two films from it already.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Have you checked to see if itms is actually available for the tv, sometimes I get a similar message but a while later all is well. if you are sure the store is available, I think perhaps sometimes the messages thrown up by the tv can be a little misleading, it may well be that there is another issue which is causing this message. Are you able to stream from your itunes library, have you tried reauthorising your account.

Can't download movies purchased from itunes on my ipad

I have many movies purchased through iTunes store. In the past I was able to download to my iPad to watch when out of wifi. Now many titles, I cannot. Previously, I downloaded Avengers and watched, now it won't. Why?

I had the same issue and was able to fix it... I went to settings / videos and turned on "show all videos". I did the same at settings / iTunes and App Store. Then, when I returned to "videos", all of my purchases were there (took a second). At that point I did NOT get the "watch" button...I DID get the "cloud" icon And was able to download.....

Can't transfer movie rentals from ITunes to Apple TV

I have rented a couple of movies through my Itunes account on my IMac. For some reason when I try and select these to move over to my Apple TV it says "You must be connected to the Intenet to transfer a rented movie" I am connected and am in fact in the process of syncing the other items in my Itunes with Apple TV. Its just the movie rentals its having issues with. any ideas??

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
Ensure that ports 80 and 443 are open to the WAN for all devices and aren't the subject of port forward or NAT rules. You might try reauthorising your itunes library as well.

I was trying to download a movie rental from iTunes. It has been hours and still downloading. Why is it taking so long? I want to stop the download at this point.
