Why does it take over 2 hours to download a rented movie on apple tv? When I download a movie on Netflix it downloads immediately.

Why does it take over 2 hours to download a rented movie on Apple TV? When I download a movie from Netfix it is immediate.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.
Netflix uses adaptive streaming and can reduce quality right down to produce a stream as low as 0.5 Mbps.

Hi, so I've had my iPhone 5 for about a month now and when it's connected to my home net work, the Internet is slow and when it's not connected to that, why does it say its 3G instead if 4G, I don't know if its to do with my SIM card

Why does my iPhone 5 say its on 3G?

Is the iPhone running slow on other wifi networks?
Does your carrier support 4G/LTE? You can check here: http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/
If they do then are you in an area of coverage?(check with your carrier)

Why does Adobe say Mozilla doesn't allow download of "Reader"?

While trying to install Adobe Products (Reader), the installation screen instructs that if you use Mozilla, then you must read the installation instructions. Pressing the "button" does not take you to the installation instructions. However, I've had input that Adobe support says Mozilla has trouble with registering Adobe files.
Irrespective of the problem that may exist between your companys' software, the Federal Government uses Adobe almost exclusively for their document downloading, and "filling in" on-line. If they are correct, then I must go back to I.E., if I am to continue interfacing with Government sites.
Please help me. I'm trying to get rid of Microsoft, not go back to them.

Generally I don't know of any problems using Adobe Reader with Firefox - mine works just fine, and both install from the web (via the Adobe DLM) and offline installation (downloading the complete installer) works just fine.
When you go to http://get.adobe.com/reader/ you should end up on the Adobe Reader download page.
Disable the McAfee Security Scan offered below, and click the Download button.
You should now end up on the "Thank you"-page and get a yellow line at the very top of the browser asking if you want to allow Adobe to install the DLM online-installer system. Here you can click the "Allow" button to start installation of the DLM, which in turn should start downloading the Reader installation.
If you don't get this box, some security software (I see you have Norton) could be preventing it from showing up at all.
Or, you should be able to get around the problem on that "Thank you"-page by clicking the link in the 2nd line of the text - it says something like "If the download does not start, click here to download" of which the last part of the line is a link to the complete Adobe Reader (offline) installation package.
Download this and run the file, that should install Adobe Reader 9.2 with full integration in Firefox.
When the installation is complete (and your system may need to be restarted after this), please remember also to start the Adobe Reader from the new icon on your desktop (or from Start menu), and go to menu "Help" -> "Check for updates" to get the latest updates installed - current fully updated version is 9.3.2, but Adobe does not offer the fully updated version as a complete download.
As an alternative, you could also install and use the [http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/reader/ Foxit Reader] - this also works very well for most PDF-files and online PDF forms. It has the advantage of being much smaller, faster, and somewhat safer as it's not as widely used as Adobe Reader. The disadvantage is that it may not support every single type of PDF file, althou I have yet to meet a file it couldn't handle.
Please let us know how above works out, and if we can be of further assistance. Detailed feedback is appreciated and helps us to help you better, plus enables us to better help other users with similar issues.

Why does it say its going to erase my iphone from my account when i try to erase all content from my phone?

I am trying to factory reset my Iphone5 by clicking settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings. After this is displays a window saying Password Required enter your Apple ID password to erase this IPhone and remove it from your account. I don't want to erase the phone from my account I just want to erase what's on it so old notifications will stop showing up.

The message means that you will be deleting your iCloud account from the device, and therefore removing it from Find My iPhone. Erasing all content and settings completely erases your phone, including all your accounts and settings. If you then set up your phone and sign back into your iCloud account, enabling Find My iPhone again (or restore your backup), it will then be associated with your account again.

Why does imovie say its too large to send to idvd?

I just made a simple movie 1:39:00. After creating project overnight, error message displays, project is too large. This makes no sense. I have made longer ones and they have transfered easily.
Anyone have a suggestion here?
Thanks!!

In iDVD: Project > Project Info (or iDVD > Preferences > Projects) change your Encoding from Best Performance to either High Quality or Professional Quality.
These last 2 settings allow for longer movies.
Best Performance (a misnomer) is limited to 1 hour.
Edit: That was my first thought however it could also be your HD space.
How much free space do you have on you hard drive?

Why does it say Apple ID disabled when I try to update an app

Why does it say my Apple ID is disabled when I try to update an app.? My ID works for everything else. Also, I thought with the new iOS update that apps are supposed to update themselves but mine haven't.

On your Mac/PC open iTunes (make sure it is updated). On the tabs on the left click on "iTunes Store". This will change the window on the right to the iTunes store. The top right corner should have your Apple ID or Sign In written. If there is an Apple ID written click on it and Sign Out. The corner should then change to "Sign In".
Now click on Sign In and sign in with the wrong/incorrect Apple ID that you no longer wish to use or update from.
Once logged in, click on the down arrow that shows when you move the pointer on the top right corner where it should now show the apple id, and select Account.
The page that opens up should have a section called "iTunes in the Cloud" with a tab on the side saying "Manage Devices".
Click on Manage Devices. Its should list your iPhone or iPad that you no longer wish to use with this Apple ID. And click Remove.
Once its confirmed click "Done" and from the top right corner select Sign Out.

Why does it say More. . . in email address line when there is only one email address?

When receiving an email, why does it say 'More. . .' in the To email address line when there is only one email address? It looks like there is more than one recipient when there is actually just one.

Have you rebooted since the deletions. That will empty a number of caches and may restore the freed up space. Also open the iPhoto Library package with the Finder as shown in this screenshot
locate the iPod Photo Cache folder and delete its contents. Make no other changes to the contents of the iPHoto LIbrary Package.

Why does it say "verifying phone number" in settings under iMessage? It worked properly in past.

Why does it say "verifying phone number" in settings under iMessage? It worked properly in past.

Go to supportprofile.apple.com and remove your device. Alternatively you can call in to apple and have Apple look up your phone number. They may be able to remove it from their end.
If it does not show up in either of these places, have the people whe own the other iPhone send you a message> this message will be blue for an iMessage> have them push an hold on that message and select the option "send as text"> this should send the message as green> do this two - four time till it starts sending as green on its own.> this should fix it.

ITunes says I have authorized five computers so I can no longer play music I have purchased. I have not replaced my computer once. Why does iTunes say this?

iTunes says I have authorized five computers so I can no longer play music I have purchased. I have not replaced my computer once. Why does iTunes say this?

Hey Christownsend,
Thanks for the question. To troubleshoot this issue, you may want to try deauthorizing all computers:
iTunes Store: About authorization and deauthorization
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1420
To deauthorize all computers associated with your Apple ID
If you need to authorize your new computer and are unable due to already having five authorized computers, you can deauthorize all computers by doing the following:
1. Click iTunes Store on the left side of iTunes.
2. If you're not signed in to the store, click the Account button, then enter your account name and password.
3. Click the Account button again (your Apple ID appears on the button), enter your password, and then click View Account.
4. In the Account Information window, click Deauthorize All.
Note: You may only use this feature once per year. The Deauthorize All button will not appear if you have fewer than two authorized computers. If you need assistance on using this feature, please contact iTunes Store support via email (http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/store/).
Thanks,
Matt M.

Why does it say that the updated version of Firefox (which I am trying to download) is not compatible with my operating system when I have Mac OS X 10.5.8?

Why does it say that the updated version of Firefox (which I am trying to download) is not compatible with my operating system when I have Mac OS X 10.5.8? I had an older version of Firefox and it said I needed to update it but that was the message that appeared.

Sorry, it's because Firefox 4+ are only compiled for the Intel processors.
There is a separate project for PPC Macs called Ten Four Fox. You might give it a spin when you're tired of 3.6.

Why does itunes say the entry point is not found

why does itunes say it didn't install correctly and to reinstall?

Greg, did the "Patchburn" really work for you?
I had the same problem today. I have a smart playlist made up of: Kind>is>Protected AAC audio file. This smart play list allows me to keep track of music I've downloaded from the iTMS after inadvertently deleting the Purchased Music default playlist. Yes, I know a new “Purchased Music” playlist is created when you buy music again, but it doesn’t contain any of the songs you’ve already downloaded.
When I went to burn this playlist (several hundred songs) to multiple audio CD format - I go the same result you got.
"After asking to burn a play list it asks to insert CD, checks the media, checks the play list and then stops with the apple icon reappearing and NO error message."
Apple tech support couldn’t help me - I found that out the hard way - after 1.5 hours on the phone. No, I haven't exceeded the 7 time burn limit either.
I tried selecting all the songs in the smart playlist and creating a new [regular] playlist and tried to burn from that, but got the same result.
Finally, I tried typing "Protected AAC audio file" from my main library in the search window, selected all the songs that resulted, created a new [regular] playlist from that selection and the burn was successful.
It was a real pain and took almost 3 hours to figure out, but it worked. I'm going to try the "Patchburn" download talked about earlier, but don't know if that's the real problem.
Yes, I have upgraded my SuperDrive, but iTunes recognizes it - Preferences>Advanced>Burning - if your drive shows up here then that's not the problem. Besides, I had the same problem when trying to burn to the original SuperDrive too.
I think the problem may be deeper inside iTunes itself. Duh! Maybe something with Apple tightening their DRM scheme which may make us unwitting beta testers to see if they tightened the noose too tight or not. Just a guess.
Any thoughts, anyone?

Why does it say rogers 3g on my ipad when it should say rogers 4g?

why does it say rogers 3g on my ipad when it should say rogers 4g

You may be in an area where Rogers doesn't yet have 4G. If so, the iPad will drop back to 3G and will display that to let you know you're running on the older network.
