TV Downloads are extremely slow

Does anyone know a way of speeding up the download process. Itunes 7 is a lot slower than itunes 6 or maybe i'm just doing something wrong

It's not that iTunes 7 is slower, it's that all videos are now in 640x480 format (previously they were 320x240) so they're a lot bigger to download. The only way you're going to speed things up is to get a faster Internet connection, I'm afraid.

  • Downloads are Extremely Slow!!

    Downloads of Word docs, Powerpoints are painfully slow. I use Safari. Switching to Firefox, the application crashes. This is not a positive upgrade!!

    HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions..
    Are you asking for help?
    For Safari, if you have any 3rd party plugins, they may not be compatible with SL.
    Go here: ~/Library/Internet Plugins If there are any apps in that folder, send them to the Trash.
    How much free space on the startup disk?
    Right or control click the MacintoshHD icon. Click Get Info. In the Get Info window you will see Capacity and Available. Make sure you always have a minimum of 10% to 15% free disk space at all times.
    If you didn't repair disk permissions after installing SL, try that.
    Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

  • ITunes download is extremely slow or not working, am I the only one experiencing this, iTunes download is extremely slow or not working, am I the only one experiencing this

    I do not have a solution, just the same complaint.  ***!  !    I just used the iTunes store 2 weeks ago and now, after reviewing everything they asked for including ID/Pass/ Account Info etc.  I can't even get into the store.  I have tried asking at the Mac store and it has all been to no avail.  I was perfectly happy with iTunes before all of this ********... seriously what is the issue with iTunes?  They ask me to upload a new version (with no system specs anywhere that I can find on the page)  and then say it can't utilized because of system inadequacy.  It is exceedingly frustrating.

  • Pdf's are extremely slow to open and attach in outlook 2007

    For the past two weeks, Pdf's are extremely slow to open and attach in outlook 2007.  currently have Adobe Acrobat X Standard and Adobe Reader X running on windows 7, using microsoft office 2007.  is anyone else having this issue?

    In an effort to try and solve this I have converted the four reports to native POJO datasources. I thought that maybe the report was looking for the ODBC data source upon which the reports were designed. The ODBC approach was used to help speed up design and development. Now that the DB schema is up and running I can use the POJO and eclipse for preview.
    No change in startup and exporting on the QA system.

  • Download speeds extremly slow for CS6 trial version

    I am trying to download the trial version of CS6 using the Adobe download assistant. It is extremely slow (Currently saying it will take another 15 hours to download.) It has been stuck at 987 MB for over two hours. I have a very fast fibre optic line and just did a speed test. I am seeing download speed of 75.79 Mbs so it is not my broadband. I am on Mac OS Lion 5.7.  and have plenty of empty disk space. Any ideas of what the problem is?

    so it is not my broadband.
    Actually it probably is. Due to how ADM work sthere may be issues on such connections due to how they handle upstream communication and may dynamically switch IPs/ channels in their multiplexers.... Try a direct download using the method described here:

  • The video downloading is extremely slow after downloading Flash Player Active X (IE) and FP Plug-in

    I have Windows 7 on a 64-bit operating system, and have Firefox 19 and Internet Explorer 8. I tried installing Flash Player 11.6.602.171 from the Adobe Website and got an error message right at 47% download "can not contact reliable source." I also tried uninstalling whatever Flash Player I had, but I continued to get the same error message at 47% "can not contact reliable source." Finally, following the advice found in the link below under "Program Bar Hangs During Download," I downloaded Flash Player ActiveX (internet explorer) and Flash Player Plug-In (all other browsers). It appeared that both downloads were successful and I verified that the installation was complete in the link below under "Verify that installation is complete." It says I have Flash Player 11.6.602.171. My issue now is that whenever I watch videos that use Flash Player, the downloading of videos is extremely slow.  For example, a 45 second youtube video might take 30 minutes to watch. I have tried everything (from General Info, Download Issues, Installation Issues, Post-Installation Issues) in this Adobe installation problem page http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html but the problem has not improved. Can someone please help me? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    First, I went on this link under Progress Bar Hangs During Download
    http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header
    and then I downloaded Flash Player directly by clicking the links provided Flash Player for ActiveX (IE) and then Flash Player Plug-In (All browsers).  After my installations were complete, I tried watching any youtube videos or videos on www.ABC.com and the loading of videos was extremely slow.

  • Videos are extremely slow when trying to view them

    Here is the situation. I have been posting course material for over a year now, and everything had been working fine. Over the last week, any video that I try to view from our iTunes U site is taking at least 5 minutes to play, when I double click on the video I get the loading bar, the videos that are less than 30 minutes long take between 5 - 8 minutes to play, the ones that are over 30 minutes take between 10 - 15 minutes to play. This had never happened before, and the weird thing is that I can go to any other iTunes U site and view videos that are two hours long and it takes less than a minute to play. So I know its not my network bandwidth or I wouldn't be able to view other sites. I use an iMac with a 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4 GB of Ram, bought specifically for iTunes U administration. I don't know what else to do. Any help or advice will be truly appreciated.

    I have also found our iTunes U site extremely slow for the past few weeks. It also took a long, long time to log into Admin. But at least for us, there has been a noticeable change (for the better) in the last few days.

  • ITunes downloads are painfully slow, and using the wrong servers

    For the past few months, iTunes downloads (from a PC) have been unbearably slow, with single 60-minute TV shows taking 3-6 hours to download.  Worse, Apple has decided that I live in the middle east, rather than Vermont.  According to Task Manager, itunes is connecting to 204.2.196.136 to download files, and that server is located in Iran.
    Before anyone asks, I am using my ISP's DNS provider, located in Vermont.  So this has nothing to do with that useless Google DNS service.  How do I forge iTunes to use the right providers in the United States?
    For what it's worth, no other programs have this problem. Speedtest reports a healthy 10-12 Mb/s, Steam downloads huge files quickly, and Apple TV streaming is fine.  As far as I can tell, only iTunes store downloads are affected (from any source, including my iPad 2.)

    In my case, I think it's a combination of my isp being incredibly slow (Optus in Melbourne) and iTunes apparently throttling the download speed.  A couple of days ago, my download speed measured on speedtest.net was 0.2 Mbps!!  After phoning Optus to complain, they reset the line and the speed bounced up to about 6 Mbps.  So in that case it was definitely my isp.  But now, even with the approx 6 Mbps download speed, my iTunes downloads are taking about 3 hours just to download one 40-something minute episode.  When I do a traceroute (start, cmd, tracert itunes.apple.com, enter) the iTunes server is located in Boston, US and I'm in Ballarat, Victoria, Oz.

  • Wi-Fi speeds are extremely slow with Arris modem

    Hello all,
    I just "upgraded" my TWC modem to the Arris model. The hardline speed is 300 Mbps/30, and my Wi-Fi speed test using the Airport Extreme AC is 14.58/20.68. That's <10% of my hardwire speed. What gives?
    Regards,
    David

    Check the speed at a LAN <--> Ethernet port on the AirPort Extreme first, before you mess with wireless. Get that up to speed, then work on wireless issues.
    If speeds are still slow using the Ethernet connection, reset the AirPort Extreme back to factory default settings to clear out all the old settings,  and set it up again. 
    As is, the AirPort Extreme is likely not associating with the new modem correctly, since it remembers too many things about the previous modem.

  • Database export/exports are extremely slow

    We run PeopleSoft (PeopleTools version 8.46) applications on Oracle 10g (10.1.0.3). database exports/imports were extremely slow, so when we contact PeopleSoft customer connection, we were advised to modify the init.ora file with the "_optimizer_cost_based_transformation=off". After we set the init.ora file, exports/imports are very fast.
    What is optimizercost_based_transformation? will database performance have any effect by setting this parameter? Does anybody has issues with 10g export/import issues?
    any help?
    Thanks,

    Here is the extract from PeopleSoft customer connection -
    . Required INIT.ORA Parameters for Oracle 10g
    . Change #1 - optimizercost_based_transformation=off
    According to Oracle support: "This parameter controls whether query transformations (sub-query unnesting, complex view merging and push join predicate ) are performed using an algorithm that relies only on optimizer cost (new in 10g) or an algorithm that uses a combination of optimizer cost and heuristics (pre-10g). "
    Can anbody tell me how extaclty this parameter will affect the performance of the system? Althoght we didn't see any performance issues right now (We are just in the process of implimentaion) Going forward, i am worried to have this im my init.ora file.
    Any thoughts/suggestions related to this topic is helpful.
    THanks,

  • Downloads are really slow

    When I want to download some Podcasts (I have iTune 7.0.2 and I cannot switch to an older Version because of the new iPod Nano) with iTune, than these download are very slowly. But when I download the Podcasts dircetly from the server with an ordinary browser, than it is fast. (esa.int or Fraunhofer or 3sat,...)
    With iTunes, it takes forever,
    So I think it must be a problem with iTunes. So is there any solution to solve this really nasty problem.
    PS:
    Sync with iPod is very fast
    Internet Connection is also very fast
    Firewall ist not blocking iTunes
    So iTunes itself od iStore ist the problem.

    Please test. 
    High speed internet is relative.
    Compare Cox high speed:

    With AT&amp;T:

    Cox has had a lot of complaints when customers upgrade internet speed, but see no change in service because Cox didn't really make any change to accounts, (like we wouldn't notice)
