TS3623 APPLE TV download times suddenly became 3-4 evn 12 hrs for a movie?

What happened 3 months ago ? APTV was working fine then download times suddenly became 3-4 evn 12 hrs for a movie?!! Movies that I purchased that are in their cloud take a similar time to download. Not a problem with my internet provider or my router as both tested fine. Apple Genius Bar has suggested a reset of the device which made zero difference.  Any suggestions out there?

I have had my provider in to test my signal strength. My router shows full bars as well.

  • Brush, sliders suddenly became super fast, but not for long

    I work on a 30" monitor on a core 2 duo 3 GHz machine. The brush normally refreshes at what looks like a choppy 4 frames a second or so. In this strange instance, it was more like 20 fps.
    Twice now, for no apparent reason, when using the local correction brush, it suddenly became very fast. It did this by seemingly using a localized low quality screen refresh mode; the area around the brush looked pixelated until I released the mouse, then it would snap into sharpness a moment later.
    This is MUCH better than the regular behavior, but I can't figure out why it did this! After a while, it would revert back to regular mode.
    I've only had the good fortune to experience this on two photos out of about 15,000 edited.
    Does anyone know what might be happening, and if there is a way to permanently keep it active?

    OK, go to the set audio record path dialogue
    This is actually can be anywhere you have permission to write to. Normally I use a folder in the song's folder labeled "Audio Fles". This is kind of the default.
    That really is probably what you need to set.

  • Apple TV download time vs. Amazon Video on Demand download time

    When I rent an HD TV program from Amazon, it is ready to watch almost instantly.
    When I rent an HD TV program from Apple TV, it takes a few hours to download the program. I know everyone else has this time problem.
    My question is why is it that Amazon can get the program to you instantly but Apple TV takes a few hours.
    By the way, I still would rather watch the show on the Apple TV than the show from Amazon on my Sony Blu Ray. It is a better picture. But what is Amazon's secret here and why can't Apple TV do it in the same time?
    Thanks,
    Mike

    I have no problem renting from iTunes on Apple TV, they start after 5 seconds. What is your internet speed (speedtest.net)
    I can't comment on Amazon as the service is not offered here, but I do know Netflix uses a different system (adapts based on your connection, streams instantly regardless). So maybe it's a similar thing here.

  • Apple TV download time- Is this a joke?

    Well, I setup a new Apple TV yesterday, upgraded it to 2.0 software, synced my music and now it's movie time for a nice Sunday evening.
    I started downloading an HD movie and for the past hour and a half, it's just up to 7% downloaded. If the speed is constant. I'm looking at 21.4 hours for a complete download. Is this real or what?
    I've tried both the direct ethernet connection and Airport Extreme. There does not seem to be much difference.I have a standard Earthlink DSL connection. Not sure what the speed is, but maybe 768 Mbps.
    Any advice or shall I return the Apple TV and be on my way to Blockbuster?

    Do you have any cable services.
    Otherwise I think you might need to plan ahead. Ironically though:
    There is a good chance that overnight the download will speed up and you might find your film takes you 15 -18 hours to d/l. If movie time is say between 7 pm and 10 pm, you can select another movie between 10 pm and bedtime for the next days movie time.
    We don't have rentals here yet, but when we do I'm hoping my 8 Mbps (6.5 actual) will enable me to start watching straight away or at least within 1/2 an hour (the time it takes to get everyone ready). If not and I have to wait 3 hours, then I don't see that I'll be better off than you, since after 3 hours we won't be watching the movie the same night anyway and will still have to resort to planning a day ahead.

  • Apple 22" cinema display suddenly became high contrast

    Suddenly my display became high -contrast (the only way I can explain it) with ragged edges to everything and the type light and fading and with bluish shadows on most of the letters. I've tried changing the resolution -- which "knocked" it right yesterday. Today, however, it's back and doesn't respond to anything I do. Help.

    Look in the "Seeing" tab of "Universal Access" system preference and make sure the "Enhance contrast" slider is all the way to the left ("Normal").

  • Apple TV Download Times

    I am trying to download a 42 minute HD TV show on a recently purchased Apple TV 2. It is connected via cat 5. ATV is telling me it will take anywhere from 9 - 18 hours before it is ready. Is this common? I'm assuming it isn't or this thing would sell. Just wanted to know if anyone else is having the same issue.
    On a similar vein, is there anyway to determine the download speed on ATV?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    A few weeks back I ran a speed test. It indicated something like 50 kb/sec. I called AT&amp;T and it was up to 500 kb/sec. I haven't run one tonight but will do one now. Although I'm doing this from my iPad.
    FYI. I'm running a westell modem to a new airport extreme. The Apple TV is connected directly to the airport.

  • Download time suddenly agonizingly slow

    hi - i've got a wireless connection and dowloand tv shows from itunes about 2x/week. typically, it takes about an hour for a 45-min episode. lately, though, the dowload times've increased to EIGHT hours. i can't think of anything i've done that could've caused the change. would be grateful for any advice.
    (powerbook g4, os 10.4.8)

    The original source is .M2V, but I edited using the Apple Intermediate Codec. When i started reconnecting media after using media manager to make an offline project, it took a very long time for the clips to actually re-connect and it was soon after this that Final Cut started struggling... and it has been downhill from there.
    Any thoughts about media manager, or disk problems that might be causing the problem? I have had to move the source media and .mov files around in order to make space for other projects. I have heard that media manager in FCP can be tricky with this sort of thing?
    Any further suggestions appreciated.

  • How do I get  key from Apple to download Mac office?

  • Apple TV/iTunes movie download times

    Have had Apple TV for over 2 years but in the last several months, when I rent a movie from iTunes, it takes over 2 hours for the movie to download.  This was never the case in the past.  It used to just take moments.  I have changed NOTHING within my system, nor do I feel I should have to.  Could someone explain to me why this is happening?  I also use Apple TV to stream my Netflix movies...no lag time at all with those.
    It does tell me that I would it to download faster I should change the resolution in "settings".  Well, why the **** would I want to do that?  And whay suddenly have to do this?  Kind of ruins the reason for having a high end SONY flat screen.
    Open to ideas.
    Kindest regards~

  • Apple TV download suddenly super-slow

    Suddenly, after more than 3 years of virtually perfect and uninterrupted service, iTunes download on Apple TV seems to have become super-slow. WHY??
    I used always to be able to stream and watch movies, TV series episodes, etc. virtually instantaneously, with few if any delays. Nothing has changed with my home ISP (30Mb download) or WiFi setup, and I have tried 'master-resetting' everything including Apple TV with a power-down-up sequence several times. However for the past 2 or 3 nights trying to watch episodes of Vikings S2 I have faced interminable waiting with 'Loading' or 'Ready to watch in 4hrs 10 mins', etc. messages.
    Please help to resolve this issue soon - it really degrades the quality of service I previously enjoyed on Apple TV and iTunes.

    Thanks alex_h1.
    However I had already tried all the troubleshooting steps defined in the link you gave except explicitly verifying DNS and network settings, which I have now done. Regrettably there is no noticeable improvement in Apple TV interminable download times, whilst itunes still works perfectly speedily downloading to our devices such as iMac, Macbook and iPad.
    Any further thoughts or suggestions would be most gratefully received.
    BR, Tony

  • How can I make my Apple TV more reliable? It takes a day to download a HD movie on a T1 to play later, but when I try to play the movies, Apple TV can't, and says try again later. Doesn't the day download time put the HD movie on the Apple TV device?

    How can I make my Apple TV work? I downloaded two movies, to play later, on April 4, 2014. I tried to watch them this evening only to get a message they are not available and to try later. How long can it take Apple to download the movies? I encourage anyone thinking about buying an Apple TV to get a different media player that is reliable. Apple TV is not worth the money, nor the time it takes to download movies, nor the effort trying to get your money back when Apple TV fails,and it failsl oftern.. Apple never seems to have a problem charging for the movies, but it frequently has a provlem delivering what people pay for.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router.
    Reset the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings)
    Restore the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Restore)

    If the above Support Article does not resolve it... then you have a problem.
    Perhaps a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is required..
    Be sure to make an appointment first...
    Note:
    That error message may be indicative of the Device being Hacked / jailbroken.... If this is the case then you are on your own.
    Unauthorized modification of iOS...

    I was watching a movie on my Apple TV and suddenly it stopped. I noticed I was logged out. Then I tried logging in again and I keep getting a message "cannot connect to iTunes". I restarted the Apple TV three times and tried again each time. I am stuck  Help please

    There's an issue currently that a lot of us are experiencing in that we all get the error message "iTunes is currently unavailable; please try later"
    It's an issue with Apple and we're awaiting an update re this
    I've posted a topic in regards to this after having a long conversation with Apple support this morning and will be receiving a call from their tech team tomorrow to run through it further
    As it stands iTunes cannot be accessed via ATV's and nor can it be streamed via AirPlay from iTunes to the ATV
    However I can access all films/iCloud content via my Mac Mini with no issues!
