Why are downloads on Apple TV so slow now?

I have never had slow downloads... and I like to think I know what I am doing since I have been using Apple TV since the old hard drive version. Recently I cant even watch a movie without extreme buffering and waiting for the movie to download.. it is crazy.. I have tried everything I know to try.. does anyone have the silver bullet? I am on a super fast Windows 8.1 PC with Cable at 20M..

I have changed settings on the apple tv to remove the option of icloud and tried exclisvely airplay from pc. I have tried conference room mode.. it only seems to happen with newly downloaded movies or rented movies- for example last night tried to watch superman- it buffered for 5 min to start the movie then after about 3min it stopped and had to buffer again- keep in mind I rented this move over a week ago so I was not trying to stream while it was downloading. Also just bought End of the World- I have not watched the  movie yet because of buffering. When I play an older movie in my collection there seems to be no issue.
I have reset the Apple TV, I have restarted the Apple TV, I have restarted the router, etc... all too no avail on the buffering issue/

  • Why are both my Mac's so slow now after upgrading to Mavericks?

    I have 2 Macs, an MB Pro Core i5, & Mac Mini Mid 2010 Core 2 Duo, (both 4/320's) and both have remained significantly slower, even after indexing, unless indexing takes days upon days. I understand why the Mini may have taken a speed dip, but a Core i5 unit too?

    The upgrade was done over a dysfunctional system. Do this:

    How to manage a failed OS X Mavericks installation | MacFixIt - CNET Reviews.
    Re-download and reinstall Mavericks.
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • Why does downloading from iCloud take so long now?

    I've been using Match since it was released. I'm used to the download times required for hour-length albums, playlists, and hi-def TV programs.
    My memory is that a year ago, downloading an hour-long music album that was bought on iTunes in iTunes Plus format (256Kbs) took abouit 5-10 mins. So why does it now take ONE HOUR?!?
    Likewise, my memory is that a year ago, downloading an hour-long hi-def TV episode that was bought on iTunes took abouit 20-30 mins. So why does it now take TWO HOURS?!?
    My infrastructure is the same: broadband connection with over 100Mbps down, iPhone 4s, iPad 3.
    WHY has downloading from Match gotten SO SLOW on iOS devices? On my new iMac it is blazing fast. And a year ago, it was rather quick (as detailed above).
    Anyway who has info on this, would greatly appreciate seeing it posted. Thanks.

    i formatted the Hard Drive from Disk Utility in order to Re-install OSX Lion...The download time first shown was like 53 hours and then after like 10 minutes it went down to 10 hours...i am pretty sure thst the internet connection i have is very fast, so why does downloading OSX Lion take so long?
    It's about 4GB, from memory, and the download speed can be affected from things like site traffic or variations in speed from your own ISP. But in general, it IS a very large download. Also never put your trust in a computer telling you how much time is left to download. As you can see, it recalculates everything more often and more quickly than the Tax Department!

  • HT1657 Why are all my Apple TV downloads suddenly needing 2 hours plus before they're "ready to watch"

    After two months of working perfectly and swiftly my apple tv now tells me I have to wait over 2 hours before anything is available to watch.
    The wif-fi box seems to be working fine for any other devise and the apple tv says the signal strength is strong.
    I've tried unplugginmg and turning everything off and on again.
    I've only just replaced my first apple tv box which was very irratic, when an apple support guy in the store advised the arial thingy that picks up the wif-fi signal was probably damaged. Really hope I don't now have to buy a 3rd.

    I don't think I fully understand what you are describing as problems. However, some movies that are downloaded directly to the Apple TV can't be moved or viewed on a PC. There are a lot of movies in the iTunes Store that are only available through the Apple TV (i.e. can't be viewed or moved to the PC).
    Also, what version of iTunes are you using and what version of the Apple TV software are you using? Some of the ways in which content is listed in iTunes changed with the v3.0 release of Apple TV.

  • Why are downloads taking so long?

    I'm not exactly sure where to put this, as I am having two download problems.
    One, I have a software update that is telling me it is going to take almost two days to complete and two, I am trying to download both an app and a TV show (ONE EPISODE) on the iTunes store. The app says it is going to take three hours and the episode says it is going to take 12. I do not have two days to sit around and wait for my software to update. I am a student and I have a lot of homework I need to do TODAY. Can anyone please help me/tell me why it's so slow or how to make it go faster?

    Downloading through ethernet or wireless?  Have you tried both?  If slow on both, contact your ISP to determine if the problem is on their end.  School server could be very busy if a lot of students are downloading the same leturers cause heavy traffic/bottleneck. 
    Which browser & version are you using?  Have you tried others? 
    Have you read for possible solutions over in the "More Like This" thread over here?-----------------------> 

  • Why are downloads and all library unlistenable?

    Why are all old downloads and new scramboed and unlistenable in library and itunes?

    not sure about podcasts. but at least audiobooks have to be .m4b format to be recognized as such.
    a very stupid solution would be... take the aac files (convert them, if they are not already), run the "make bookmarkable" script ( http://www.dougscripts.com/itunes/scripts/ss.php?sp=makebookmarkable ), delete from the music list but keep files and drag them back in audioboos.
    there HAS to be a better way. but at least it works.

  • Why are Mobile phone software updates so slow Telstra?

    Looking at all this crowd support info, I seem to find quite a bit asking about device updates being so much slower than Optus and Vodafone.
    Telstra, why, why are you so slow in releasing updates. Please stop blaming the manufacturer as it's obviously not them, you're just releasing 4.4.2 for the galaxy note 3 and we're up to lollipop 5.2, seriously, you're supposed to be the leader in the telecommunications industry but always seem to be two steps behind.

    Good evening.I'm very sure indeed that Telstra doesn't need me to defend them BUT ..... I did that exact work every day for several years, and I'll answer your question. The various networks have different philosophies on testing and releasing software.It also depends on how thoroughly various networks conduct their testing, and their philosophy of allowing  a  certain degree of software bugs or software issues to be released, and patched later. In relation to Telstra, they are the dominant network operator in Australia, and in fact one of the 5 best operators in the world.   The last thing they need is a product not to fulfill their criteria, with the resultant backlash. When testing is thoroughly done, it is almost inevitable that  some issues will be found,  and that requires negotiation with the manufacturers, and then it's up to the manufacturers to fix those issues and re-release the software. Then the testing is re-done and sometimes it is again not approved by the operators.    That simply takes time.     Different networks have different philosphies as to what is acceptable to release. Also, the same generic software can display issues that often requires customisation to a degree for different networks.I hope this explains the situation to you. It is extremely complex as phones have now become a multitude of devices all in one.   

  • Why are iPhone/iPad apps stored on iMac now?

    On my iMac I have iTunes, library, and in there have loads of apps for iPhone and iPad. In fact they take up 25Gb I've just checked. Now we have numerous iPhones and iPads in the household, but only sync with iTunes for music, and do it wirelessly anyway. Its my music so I have to look after it as such.
    With apps though they are all held on Apple servers, e.g. when you do a iCloud restore, on the iPhone/iPad they are just "markers" and then they redownload, otherwise the iCloud backups would be HUGE. SO the apps are held on Apple's side, and I'm happy with this.
    So why do I need to store 25GB+ on my iMac, wasting HDD space, and more crucially more Cloud (Non Apple Livedrive/crashplan type) backup space that I subscribe to is getting used by this.
    I need to regularly update all apps on my iMac, for no reason really either , as I just update on the individual iPhones/iPads anyway. Can someone tell me why its needed (apart from plunging in to sync maybe), why have all them on the iMac etc.
    thanks

  • Why are all my movies and tv shows now on my ipad with the icloud icon?  How can i get rid of them?

    Why are all my movies and tv shows from my library now on my ipad with the icloud icon?  I have turned off all icloud related services. I have never used it.  On top of that, my ipad now gets stuck on step 5 of the sync - waiting for changes to be applied and never finishes.
    Help

    Hi, go in Settings, under Videos turn off "Show all videos"  this will remove the purchased videos to be displayed in the Video app.  The same can be done with the music.
    As for Step 5, connect you iPad and on the summary Tab, uncheck
    "Sync only checked songs and videos".  Then wait, it takes a while but this made it work for me after many restore attempts.
    good luck

  • Downloading via Apple TV VERY slow

    Need help.  I have Apple TV linked to my TV and also Telstra Bigpond T-Box.  
    Problem: If I use Apple TV to RENT a movie ....  it takes HOURS to load before I can view it on my TV?  Don't know why this is happening as I can rent a movie via the T-BOX and it instantly loads?   Can anyone give me some idea of what is going wrong here?  Thanks / J

    Many streaming services like Netflix are rate adaptive so lower qulaity for a slow connection - this is usually the issue with AppleTV 'downloads' as the stream is fixed size.
    SD needs 2.5Mbps, 720p 6 Mbps, 1080p 8 Mbps to play virtually instantly in most cases.
    The unit calculates the internet speed and how long it will take to buffer of the fixed size stream to start playing with the rest downloading as you watch.
    Doing other things with AppleTV will reset the buffering and cause you to have to wait again - renting in iTunes and Home Sharing under Computers icon on AppleTV can help.
    Test your speed at speedtest.net on a computer.
