TS2934 I rented a movie and it takes forever to load???

when I go to play it after the apple tv has been turned off it take 3 hours to load. So now I have waited 6 hours total to try to watch a movie. I only have 20 hours left.

Welcome to the Apple community.
The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.

  • My Atv2 is  very slow movies and shows take forever to load it plays for a few minutes then pauses again. I thought if was a problem with my wireless router but I replaced it with a new airport extreme and the problem persists. Air play is just as slow.

    My Atv2 is very slow with both AirPlay and rented and purchased content I spoke to apple rep and tried the things he suggested but the problem persists. Now it requires more lead time then the lenght of material being viewed. I haves broadband internet connection and airport extreme router so I don't think this should be a problem. Lately every time the unit goes to the screen saver an error message come up saying there was an error while loading content please try again later and you have to all over again. It is extremely frustrating. Any suggestions? What speed of transfer should I expect using AirPlay ?

    I'm having the same issue.  Ay fixes?  Bought ATV today, music streams but videos don't and mirroring doesn't work either.  Start mirror and severe lag then just drops.  Been trying for couple hours. About ready to return it.

  • Recently my movies and videos take forever to load and when they start playing it's for a second or two at a time. Have to hit the play icon over and over, did not use to be this way they work great on my desktop and iPod

    Recently I have been experiencing my downloaded videos and online vids taking a long time to load and when they do, they will only play for a few seconds at best and you have to hit the play icon over and over. Never had this problem before with the 20 plus vids I have any suggestions would be appreciated

    I finally resolved my problem after spending way too much time on it. I simply handed my 160GB iPod to my husband to put his fav Stones & Beatles songs on and I went back to my 80GB Microsoft Zune which has never disappointed me.
    After spending so much time trying to figure this out I did finally take it back to Apple Store who performed a diagnostic and found there was a problem with the device. They replaced it with a refurbished one which has similar issues. All I wanted to do was listen to my music. Was that too much to ask? So I am happy to be free of this problematic device. No more Apple for me!!

  • Calendar and reminders take forever to load with ios5

    Since I upgraded my iPhone 4 to ios 5, my calendar and reminders take forever to load. Sometimes they crash rather than load. Any suggestions? This is extremely frustrating. By the time they load, I forget what I was going to write. Even once they open and I start entering data, they usually stall or crash during the time I am entering information (e.g. setting alerts), so it takes a very long time to enter each appointment or reminder. Help please!

  • Quicktime X is incredibly slow and previews take forever to load

    Quicktime takes forever to load an MKV (Perian installed), but also takes its sweet time with other longer vidoes. Finder Previews (off to the side in column view) take forever to load, with QTserver (I think that's the process) taking up huge cpu resources while doing so.
    I want to love Quicktime, I really do. It looks great. But its performance is just utterly frustrating at times. I don't know what happened but I never had these problems with Quicktime 7.
    Why the does Quicktime behave like this?

    http://arstechnica.com/apple/reviews/2009/08/mac-os-x-10-6.ars/6#qtkit
    You don't have to use the X version of QuickTime on your Snow Leopard machine. You can use QuickTime Player 7.6.3 if you like.

  • Rented a movie and it take 60 minutes to download, will this ever be fix or am I doing something wrong?

    You need a faster internet connection. After I upgraded to a 6 meg connection that probelm went away.
    How fast is your internet connection?

  • I have the latest version 3.6.12 and it takes forever to load.

    This occurs both on my laptop and desktop. Both running XP.

    Many thanks.
    With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:

  • My MacBook turns on but takes forever to load and then shuts down. What's going on with my comouter

    I'm not sure what's going on with my Mac. It was turning on fine a little slow but I charged it on the plane today and went to go use it and it takes forever to load and right when it finally does it turns off.

    Start with SMC and PRAM resets:

  • Quicktime videos take forever to load on my system

    Is it me alone, or does anyone have the same problem? I have a excellent system, and nothing takes forever to load on it, only Quicktime videos. The only reason why I use quicktime on my XP machine is to watch the videos that are downloaded from my Kodak camera memory card since the camera saves its video files as quicktime videos, but it takes forever for the video files to load after I have downloaded them and saved them into a folder on my system. When I want to go back and view the videos, the folder freezes until all the videos, even if it is only one video in the folder loads. Why is that? Other video files load immediatley from avi,wmv,to divx,etc.
    Does anybody have a solution?

    A movie rented on an iPhone can only be viewed on an iPhone. If you want to view on TV you need to rent directly on ATV or via computer (and stream using home-sharing)

    Did you download it using iTunes for Windows, or did you download it directly to an iOS device?
    If you can't find the movie you downloaded on your iPad, iPhone or iPod Touch, check inside your Videos App
