Why does it take all day for my msn email to download on my iphone5?

IiOS 7.1.1 iPhone 5
Lately, for the past month or so my MSN email takes up to a day to download new messages. It will check for new mail the say downloading and there it will stay all day. Sometimes I power it off and the mail populates but often it doesn't.  Any ideas why this is happening or is there something I can do to fix it?.

It's true that it is your Internet connection that is the problem but:

Just no. Your WiFi is far faster then your Internet speed so the bottleneck is in your Internet speed, not your WiFi speed. The only way WiFi would be slower is if you are using an old A or B standard AND you have a really fast Internet speed. However if you are using G or N on your WiFi it will be faster than a good Internet connection. If your Internet is faster than your WiFi then it is fast enough not to have any streaming/download problems.
-Buy a stronger modem
Again no. There is no such thing as a "stronger modem".

Almost right. While a ADSL2, T1, Fibre Optics etc would give you a faster connection it is way overkill and a far greater expense. Just ask your ISP for a faster DSL/Cable connection. You are probably below a 3meg connection. You will want a 3meg or greater connection. And that will make your stuff download faster. The Apple TV likes a 3meg or greater connection.

  • Why does it take so long for a rented movie to download?

    I rented a movie on iTunes and began downloading.  It is not in HD, and all updates have been made to my iPad.  It has been 4.5 so far, and it has downloaded 1.1 of 1.5 GB of the movie.  This has been going non-stop and has not moved very fast, obviuolsy.  I am using my school (public) WiFi for this movie.  I have also downloaded a couple of different times using my home wireless router, and it is no faster.  When I read online the suggested times it will take to download, the slowest is 2 hours.... Any thoughts??

  • Why does it take so long for new episodes to be downloaded for viewing?

    Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Making the Team new episodes are shown on CMT on Friday night, but i-Tune does not have the new episodes ready until Sunday or Monday.  I am still waiting for the new second episode to be available for downloading. 

    Why not :)
    "so long" is relative...

  • Why does it take 10 days to replace the iPhone or iPad in the Czech Republic? I am considering a change to Samsung!

    Why does it take 10 days to replace the iPhone or iPad in the Czech Republic? I am considering a change to Samsung!

    It will probably take a week and three days to replace your Samsung in the Czech Republic. In the U.S., if I sent my iPhone or iPad in for warranty work, it would take 7-10 days as well. Yes, I do have the option of taking it to an Apple Store, which you may not be able to do. Samsung doesn't have stores at all in the U.S. I would be dependet on my carrier for warranty replacements.

    There is a restriction on iDevices that once it is associated with an account, it cannot be associated to a different account for 90 days.  Is that what you are asking about?  Here is the information from the iTunes Store Terms and Conditions:
    "Association of Associated Devices is subject to the following terms:
    ( i) You may auto-download iTunes Auto-Delivery Content or download previously-purchased iTunes Eligible Content from an Account on up to 10 Associated Devices, provided no more than 5 are iTunes-authorized computers.
    (ii) An Associated Device can be associated with only one Account at any given time.
    (iii) You may switch an Associated Device to a different Account only once every 90 days."
    Apple has not stated a reason for implementing this restriction, but one might surmise it is to keep people from abusing the iCloud re-download capability.

  • Why does it take so long for Firefox to load?

    Why does it take so long for Firefox to launch at initial start up? It usually takes 3 or 4 minutes. IE loads within a few seconds.

    Reset the homepage to something else, or do not use a home page at all.

  • Why does it take more space for pictures to be stored in iPad than iPhone?

    Why does it take more space for pictures to be stored in iPad than iPhone?
    The same pictures in iPhone utilises half the storage space than in the iPad.

    Photos on the ipad should take up little  more space than It does on The iPhone because of the screen resolutions size.
    Keep in mind If the photos are being stored on the device by Photo stream they will Take up less Space or if The photo Are being store by itunes syncing they may take up a little more.

  • Why does it take so long for my wireless printer to start printing from my MacBook?

    Why does it take so long for my wireless printer (HP Photosmart C4700) to start printing from my MacBook?
    It seems to take about 3 minutes to spool up printing from any program on my MacBook, but it will start instantly with my iPhone.

    Anyone have any insight on this?

    Good Afternoon Geraldine,
    I understand you are wondering why you did not receive an email receipt instantly for an iBook purchase made on March 2nd.  Is this the first time you've noticed a delay?  I would suggest contacting the iTunes Support team to report the issue.  With your permission, they can access your account and possibly shed some light on this particular transaction.

  • Why does it take so long for itunes to sync my iphone? Its been on step 2 for hours

    Why does it take so long for itunes to sync my iphone? Its been on step 2 for hours
    I just got the iphone 4s...I have had two other iphones in the past and they did not take this long to sync. This is my first time connecting it to my computer.

    8 hours later and it is reading "finishing sync" which I believe is past Step 5 and I have no idea when the "finish" will occur and am afraid to disconnect/interrupt the sync. The current version of itunes (11) is installed and syncing Microsoft Outlook (about 400 contacts, calendar, etc) for the first time.  What should I do next besides wait?

  • Why does it take so long for a movie to be shared/saved in theatre?

    Why does it take so long for a movie to be shared/saved in theatre?

    Well several different versions at different resolutions are saved to the library so it can be played on different devices.  If you don't need this you can speed things up a bit but disabling save to theatre.

    Why does it take so long to receive an email from find my iphone

    Well, first off, you do not know where your iPhone is..it could be anywhere and on any network with a
    ghost network to boot.. Go into your local Police Station, tell them your iPhone has been Stolen & give them All the info you have,, then claim on your house insurance.......If your "Find My iPhone" is On and you still cannot trace it...
    What can I say...............

  • On my mac why does it take so long to send a Email with an attachment, on my mac why does it take so lone to send a Email with an attachment

    on my mac why does it take so long to send a Email with an attachment, on my mac why does it take so lone to send a Email with an attachment

    It depends on the size of the attachment and the speed of your internet connection.
    Next time you send an email with an attachment do these two things:
    In Apple Mail (I assume you are using Apple Mail), under the Window menu select Activity. Arrange the Activity window so you can see it.
    Then open the separate application located in the Utilities folder called "Activity Monitor" and arrange it so you can see it at the same time as the Activity window in Mail.
    In Activity Monitor program, select the tab labeled "Network." Watch the "Data sent/sec" portion. Then send your email, while watching the Mail Activity window and also the Activity Monitor program window Data sent/sec area.
    You should see the mail being sent with a progress bar in the Mail Activity window and also you should be able to see how many bytes/sec or KB/sec or MB/sec your internet connection is giving you in the Activity Monitor window.
    Example: my internet provider gives me about 20 Megabits per second download and 5 Megabits per second upload. To convert these to Megabytes per second (Activity Monitor shows things in bytes, not bits), simply divide by 10 (not the exact thing to do, but close enough). So I get 0.5 Megabytes per second upload speed. When I send a file that is 5 Megabytes in size, it takes about 10 seconds if I am getting the full upload bandwidth. If I am getting less than that (which sometimes happens), it will take proportionately more time. Either way, you can see what is happening with these two windows.
    If your internet provider is supposed to give you, say, 5 Megabits/sec upload (0.5 Megabytes/sec), but you see only say, 5 KB/sec (=0.005 Megabytes/sec), sent in Activity Monitor, then your emails are taking a long time because you are getting only abut 1/100 the speed you should be. You might want to check with your internet provider about that.

  • HT201328 Why does it take so long for Apple to unlock an iPhone 3GS.

    I have been trying to unlock my iPhone 3GS whrough my provider since 31st August, and they are still waiting for a information from Apple.  Why does it take so long? Surely this will put people (i.e. me) from getting another iPhone in the future.

    The carrier unlocks the phones... once the carrier officially unlocks they send an email to apple... Apple's database picks up this info from the imei number... it's all done computerized. Apple has nothing to do with unlocking whatsoever!
    The contract is between the customer and the carrier. It would be illegal for apple to unlock a phone considering Apple is not a part of any contract!
    Apple is a manufactor and support for their products... not a carrier!
    Carriers push this crap on Apple when they know good and well they are the ones who unlock! Customers can call Apple to see if it's unlocked, but it's a database... they have no way of unlocking or locking phones!
