Upgraded iTunes downloading now really slow. Why?

I recently upgraded iTunes and now when downloading it runs like a dog. Hours to download one track!
We are on a high speed sat internet connection.

What security software are you running?
That upgrade was actually an uninstall of the previous iTunes & QuickTime, and a fresh install of the newer iTunes+QT.
So your security software (like Norton) might be scanning its folders and making it slow, becasue it has new rules for what it thinks is the "new" progam.

  • My iTunes downloads are really slow on both Windows and iPhone 5

    I've been experiencing slow download speed on both Windows and my iPhone 5.
    I've done a few things like reset my phone network settings, enabled iTunes through my Windows firewall, changed the DNS but none has actually worked out! I really need your help because I'm starting to get really ****** off with how Apple renders its services. On a side note, I've unlimited quota so the speed won't be throttled down. Thank you.

    Unlimited quota does not mean unlimited speed.
    What is the actual download speed from your ISP?  Test it using a site like http://www.speedtest.net

  • I clicked "yes" to upgrade iTunes and now it doesn't work. I get an error message stating my computer is missing MSVCR80 and then a message stating Error 7 (Windows Error 126). I've tried reloading iTunes twice. What can I do?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

    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.

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • Apple TV download is really slow

    HI
    My Apple TV is slow in dowlnloading movies. This has been like this for the last 2 months. I use to be able to watch a movie almost instantaneously but now have to wait up to 1hr 30mins in most cases before I can start watching it. This occurs in both HD and SD although SD is a little quicker but is still really slow. Even then it pauses part way through to continue to download the movie. I have had my broadband connection speed checked and spoken to my broadband provider (Telstra Clear) with speed check achieving a download speed of 15mbps. I have Apple TV 2. Can anyone help before reverting back to DVDs from the video shop?

    The Apple TV itself is the bottleneck.  The problem is not bandwidth.
    My home theatre system uses Apple TV for most content.  I also use a MacMini for the few DVDs I have and for EyeTV television recording.
    Same as all the posts to this thread - performance slowed badly the last few months.
    However, I notice that if I download rentals and purchased movies through iTunes on the MacMini, it works as the Apple TV did before.  That is, start the download and wait a minute or so and then watch the movie end to end without interruption.
    Also, iTunes allows me to cache the full movie if I give myself a few minutes prior to the time I want to watch something.
    Not great.  But it works.

  • Upgraded iTunes but now I can not open iTunes Store

    I have a Mac OS X 10.5.5 and I upgraded my iTunes but now it is telling me that the iTunes Store requires that I have Safari 4.0.3 or better. However, when I try and update that my macbook gets about 1/10 of the way through that download and stops, it will be stuck trying to "configure the download" for hours and nothing happens. What should I do?

    1) get the Mac OS X 10.5.8. combo update here: http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
    2) repair permissions
    3) try software update from the  menu to see if a newer version of Safari is offered.

  • 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.

  • Update install and delete error says itunes is on a network unavailable.  I also upgraded Itunes and now it won't recognize my Ipad touch

    I upgraded Itunes about a month ago and since then It does not recognize my Ipod and then I tried to update again and it won't upgrade.  The error message says it's on a unavailable network path not found.  So I tried to get tech support they told me to delete and start over.  I went through my control panel and it gave me the same network error and would not delete the software.  I am beyond frazzeled over this.  Please help.

    Essentially 'b noir' is correct, it will be relating to the .msi file that is, for lack of a better word, screwed. It's a pretty long process in order to cleanly remove and redownload the correct file.
    Not really a long process if you can hunt down a copy of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. If you have that installed and working, then so long as you know which particular msi (or msis) are being complained about, you can get past the issue in most cases pretty quickly. For example, for an itunes.msi message see:
    error message that I'm missing iTunes.msi.
    There's some additional information in my notes on the bookmark about one possible complication requiring a bit more work. (I'm steadily building the additional info on advanced troubleshooting into bookmarks as I build my public Bookmarks, and eventually tag searches on my Bookmark tags should pull up advanced troubleshooting steps too.)

  • Itunes conversion feature REALLY SLOW

    Hi. Today's my first time using the conversion feature in itunes. (Advanced tab: Create iPod or iPhone version). I'm trying to convert my mp4 file into one that's suitable for my iPod. The problem is that the version is REALLY SLOW. It's been converting for over 30 minutes but the progress bar on top only has about ONE MILLIMETER filled in! To the people who've used the itunes conversion feature before, can you please tell me if the conversion was this slow for you guys?
    Thanks!

  • ITunes is importing really slow!

    I have the latest iTunes downloads and everything, but recently it has started importing my CDs at about 5.4x when it used to be around 14x. It also doesn't allow me to play other songs from my library while it is importing something, it makes the track skip. I tried disabling the Error Correction option, but it was already disabled and it is still slow. Any other suggestions?

  • I converted an mts file to quicktime to edit in imovie, but the video runs really slow  why is this ?

    video play back runs really slow its all stick and not smooth why is this i thought macbook pro was fast for this stuff. or will it work better
    in final cut pro X

    It was suggested I move this question to IPhoto or IMovie which I did. 
    Well moving to a different discussion group did not provide an answer to this question either. But what I finally did was import one batch of photos and videos into IPhoto for a given day at a time. Working with these I could change the date and times in order to get them in the original sequench taken. Then I would create an album with that batch. These would all be on the same day (IMove was closed for this phase). Then I would open IMovie, generate the thumbnails for that album, and select the album I had created. This was necessary because the importing process in IPhoto was using incorrect dates for my video so it was a real struggle finding them in IMove until I developed this approach.
    I believe that this whole process was so screwy because I was importing from an external hard drive not a camera. I had these photos on a PC and did not have the original cameras to use to import directly which I am fairly sure would have made this easier!
