TV Shows - Download times

Hi,
The past 3 nights I have tried to purchase & downloaded single episodes of a show (Prisonbreak 3 if it matters).
Each night the download has stalled at somewhere between 0% - 3%. Each night I have given up after 30 minutes. The show continued to download slowly overnight & and I had to watch the episode the following evening.
Wahddup??? I've watched about 40 shows already on ATV Take 2 over the past couple weeks. Until 3 days ago TV shows downloaded right away, very quickly. We now seem to have a problem.
No configuration has changed on my AppleTV (it's connected via ethernet to my router).
I hope this indicates ATV popularity and is simply a server/pipe resources issues which will be fixed soon.
Is anyone else seeing delays in downloading shows?
Thanks,
b.

The last two episodes of Californication I bought had similar problems. I bought two episodes right after one another, so one of them was waiting to be downloaded. Anyway, once the first one was downloaded, the other kept saying waiting to download. I selected it and clicked it, it tried to download it and gave the same message. It was as if the server was not responding. I checked my wireless network and everything was working.
What I did was, I hit "check for downloads", then it started downloading again. That worked for me, you might wanna try it as well.

Utility to show download time (for dialup users)?

I manage a site for the local Friends of the library
www.forl.org
We live in a rural area where there are still many dial-up users: either high speed is too expensive, or unavailable. As I make additions & changes, I'd like to keep an eye on how long a page takes for a dialup user to download. This sort of thing used to be standard in html editors but now there's the assumption that everyone has broadband and I have not found anything for OS X that will do this task.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Fast connection speed doesn't automatically translate to fast page load times. Ask anyone on a modern "high speed" connection.
Web browsers still use "cached files" to intercept previously load page elements (until the cache is cleared) to assist page load times.
The speed of your server (combined by your connection speed) and "bandwidth usage" is a better guide. Your files are served by Apple and the largest file on your start page is:
http://web.mac.com/akantha/forl/Scripts/iWebSite.js (made by the iWeb software and also cached) at 109KB's.
http://www.mac.com/st/1/sharedassets/1.1/Common/Templates/Watercolor/About%20Me/ navgb_blue-1.jpg is the third largest page element. You can view the individual files use in your Web pages by using the Safari Activity window.
Since you have no control over the server speed or the "bandwidth" limits (both controlled by your MobileMe account) there is little you can do to "speed things up".
My 2¢?
Don't worry about things out of your control. Your pages and your service is just fine for dial up users.

Does PSE13 download photos in the order they are taken on that date and show actual time when hovering over the photo as it did in PSE6?

In my work, I need to be able to look at photos I took throughout the day at various locations and group them by the time I was there on that date to distinguish the different properties I am taking photos of. In my previous version of PSE6, when the day's pictures were downloaded, they were downloaded to the computer in the order I took them, and if you hovered over the picture it would show the time the photo was taken. I just need a program that will organize in that fashion. I do not need a lot of editing options, more the organizational options.

Hi,
If you are happy with PSE 6, why not continue to use it?
PSE 13 can display the images in date/time order like PSE 6 does. The time doesn't appear when you hover over a thumbnail but can be displayed below the thumbnail. The best thing is for you to download the trial version (select version 13 from the following link) and try it for 30 days to see if you like it.
Download Photoshop Elements products | 13, 12, 11, 10
If you use the trial, to see the date and time under each thumbnail you need to go to the View menu in the organizer and ensure that Details is checked.

I've downloaded OS X Mountain Lion from the App store , it still shows download on purchases . I've downloaded multiple time and still shows download.

Is this what you see?
That Download button is telling you it is available for downloading. Since you have paid for it and you are entitled to multiple downloads, that button is correct.

Either this needs to get fixed or i will request my money back because i will not work for my money while other lie about what i spend it on.

Try deleting the problematic tune (electing to remove original file if/when prompted) and then re-downloading the file from the iTunes store.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option at the bottom of the screen of the iTunes app (or video app on your iOS device.
If the problem re-occurs, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History using your computer.

I am looking for a timer that shows elapsed time since a particular date and time. Showing days, hours, minutes etc.

I would like to download an application for my desktop and maybe even my iphone that will tell me how many days, hours, minutes, etc have elapsed since a particular date.
For example, my brother just had a baby and I want to put that date and time into the app and then determine how long it has been since that date and time.
Hopefully this makes sense, because I have not been able to locate anything.
Thanks in advance,

This is fantastic. Thank you.
Is there any way to have something like this displayed on my desktop showing the time as it ticks away?

Outlook 14.4.8 not synchronizing with Exchange 2007 anymore (shows "downloading" but no new messages shown in inbox"

Outlook 14.4.8 on iMAC Retina and Yosemite 10.10.2 is not synchronizing with Exchange 2007 anymore (shows "downloading" but no new messages shown in inbox".
Accessing Mails with Webbrowser and from Windows Outlook is working correctly.
All Macs (also the ones with OS 10.6.8) do not anymore show any new messages in inbox.
Restarted Server, tried to disable autodiscover on macs and deleting/adding account and repairing database does not fix the problem. Also restarted server several times.
We have the same problem on 2 imacs retina with yosemite and on 2 mac pro with 10.6.8 and different office 2011 versions.
i tried to configure the exchange account in apple mail on yosemite and it also states "connected" and does list some folders but no new mails are getting in.
Windows clients and outlook on them works and syncs fine, and also when connecting via webbrowser at owa it must be a mac-specific/webdav issue.
exchange 2007 Sp3 Version 8.3 (bild 83.6) and Update Rollup 15 for sp3 (automatic updates "HIGH" for server and clients)
there is one update popping up again and again even after everytime successull installation: Windows Mlicious Software Removal Tool x64 - October 2010.
i tried to configure a new user with empty mailbox and configured it with microsoft mail (mac - yosemite) as exchange and was able to send a mail from there (even if quite delayed).
but there are not coming in any mails.
same exchange accounts triggered by imap do work and also via owa.
Exchange Accounts in Outlook for MAC and also in Mail (Yosemite) do show the folder structures but there is no mails showing up. I can send mails from the exchange accounts created but they seem to be processed with a delay of like 15minutes and outlook
is giving error "end of file reached" but messages are send after some time.
Does seem like EWS is extremely slow, to slow perhaps to sync and therefore ending in timeout.
Also i cannot reach the server from externally over ssl https 443. if testing port 443 of exchange from outside the port seems closed even firewall settings of sbs 2008 and sonicwall ports are correctly open.
could it be there is something in regarding webdav which is very slow and leading to timeouts ?
in application log i do have the following two information events every few minute:

Hi,
Since Outlook running on Windows works well, it seems an issue on the Mac side. I suggest ask Mac for help so that you can get more professional suggestions.
More information for your reference:
Please try to verify whether there is any expired certificate from the computer personal store.
If it is the case, please remove them.

In latest version, facing problem in downloading. Ex: If we download a PDF to open in a adobe, it is keep on showing "downloading" in the Download window.

I updated the latest version. Yesterday I tried to download Torrent file and open using the Open or save dialogue it is not downloading fully. It is showing UNKNOW TIME REMAINING and not fully downloading. Even if i close the firefox and open it again, still it is showing the same.I thought that is is problem in my system, But all the system has the same problem. each and every 3-4 days you are relesing a version. I dont know what is there in each version..Please fix the problem. These kind of problem will make the users shift to other browsers like Chrome.

hello saththomas, this is a bug in the latest 32 beta 9 version (please note that such issues are to be expected, when you're using beta software - for stable builds change to the firefox release channel).
a workaround for the moment would be to enter '''about:config''' into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up), right-click somewhere on the page and create a new string setting with the name '''browser.safebrowsing.appRepURL''' and value '''https://sb-ssl.google<i></i>.com/safebrowsing/clientreport/download?key=%GOOGLE_API_KEY%'''
for reference see [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1057764 bug #1057764] (please don't post in bug reports, but vote for the bug if you want to see it fixed)

Movie transfer time compared tp download time

i bought a movie on another computer (because mine didnt have the internet hooked up yet) and it took almost 13 hours to download and then quite a while for it to be put on my ipod, but then when i hooked up my ipod to my computer to transfer it to my computer it took less than a minute for the whole thing to be copied on to my computer. but if i can transfer it from my ipod to another computer in such a small ammount of time then why does it take so long for it to download from itunes??
oh and does anyone know why there are no movies or tv shows in the other countries itunes stores?

Download and sync/transfer times are dependent on many factors. Download time depends on you connection speed, general network congestion, and file size.
Transfer time is also dependent on connection type. USB1, USB2, and where files are stored.
With my setup I have my files on a network drive that I usually connect to over wireless for syncing. This takes longer than when I go down and plug the laptop in with an ethernet cable to the router. The whole setup is slower that it could be because of the network storage but I like the backup abilities of the network storage.

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~
Lauren

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?
<Re-Titled By Host>

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