    I have an 80 Mbps internet download connection and it took 5 hours to download a movie with standard definition from itunes with my apple tv.  It took 3 minutes when I used netflix on my ps3.  Where is apple supports response to these issues?....there are thousands of posts of people with the same problems!  Speedtest.net confirms my download speed is 80 Mbps!  I have reset and restarted my apple tv and download speeds of movies are still unacceptably slow!  What is the point of these discussions when Apple techs don't even read or respond to our posts?
    Not using OpenDNS by any chance?  Using OpenDNS has caused issues as some Apple server access gets re-routed to slow servers (Akamai servers from memory).

  • Upload and download speed is horrible.  it takes hours to download a movie from iTunes.

    VangieChuck the problem is definitely not iTunes it is your ISP download provision. Either your ISP needs to make a service call and solve your bandwidth issues or you need a better service, granted it all depends where in the world you are located. In Kappy's and my neck of the woods we are use to 5 - 250 Mbps download rates with an average of about 25 mbps for most city dewellers. Upload will vary depending on your service.

  • Why is it taking 20 hours to download a movie from itunes?

    i just purchased a movie from itunes and it says that it will take around 20 hours to download, is that normal?

    Hi lacostejacket,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I understand that you are downloading a movie from iTunes and it gave you an estimated time of 20 hours to complete. Download times can vary depending on the size of the file and the speed of Internet connection. Please use the following article as a reference. It has a table that shows expected download times for certain speeds.

  • Why does it take so long to download a movie from itunes onto our apple tv?

    Can you pleaes tell me why it is not documented that you have to wait several hours to download a film from itunes store onto our apple tv, stupidly we thought this would be instant!  We have changed our download resolution but still no help!!

    Because you apprently have a very serius network issue.  Purchased TV Shows and Movies can generally be viewed with in about 30 sec. of buying them.  I believe rented shows have to be fully downloaed before they can be viewed which depending on your internet connetion could take several hours or longer.

  • Why does it take so long to back up whilst im updating from 4.3.5 to 5.0?

    Why does it take so long to back up whilst im updating from 4.3.5 to 5.0?
    its been on for ages and its not even a quarter of the way backed up!

    The Brave New World of AC wireless networking.. where the reality falls far short of the hype.
    Unfortunately in an actual transfer situation, the signal to noise of wireless (RSSI figure drops dramatically), It simply uses AC as a link speed but speed is always renegotiated during an actual file transfer.. to some sustainable level. I suspect that level is not AC wireless but N.
    It does matter if you run older devices.. nothing with a or b or g wireless should be running in your house. Even n wireless may cause issues.. try turning everything else off and see if you get speed lift.
    As far as the time required for a clean up, is this a first backup as they always take a significantly longer time. Once you are doing regular incrementals the time is usually very short.

  • Apple TV taking 25 hours to download a movie from purchase in iTuntes library. Worse, I only have 24 hours to watch?

    Apple TV taking 25 hours to download a movie from purchase in iTuntes library. Worse, I only have 24 hours to watch? Anyone help why this is happening?

    How fast is your internet - sounds as though it's 1Mbps or less?
    For HD movies 6Mbps is needed for near instant playback.
    AppleTv has to prebuffer much of the movie to allow uninterrupted playback if you have <6Mbps, how long this takes depends on the average connection speed - at 3.5 Mbps currently it takes around 40 mins for mine to buffer HD whereas Sd is near instant to play.
    AppleTV2 has limited memory and using it to do other tyhings while a rental is prebuffering can flush any downloaded protion requiring you to start again from scratch - it can be better to rent in iTunes then once it's fully downloaded play on AppleTV under Computers>iTunes library>Rentals column.

  • HT3819 why does it take one to two hours to down load a movie that I have rented or bought?

    Why does it take an hour or two to down load a movie that I have either rented or purchased?

    The time it takes to download a movie depends on your internet speed. I just downloaded a movie on my Mac last night, and it took an hour an a half....
    The faster your internet speed, the faster it will download....

  • When I download a movie from iTunes the cover art disappears. I try get info and add the art, it doesn't show up. So it's just gray. It opens and plays fine. Apple can't figure it out. It's an nas drive. When I use a firewire drive I get the art

    When I download movies from iTunes to my NAS drive, I don't get the cover art. It shows up while its downloading, but when it's finish it disappears. If it has an iTunes extra the cover art is there. I tried get info and add the cover art, it never shows. Regardless of how I add it. Funny thing is, if I download the same movie to my external firewire drive, no problem its there. I've called Apple with no success. I've even tried copying the movie with the art from the firewire drive to replace the file on then NAS drive I still loose the movie cover art. I also tried several times to re download it, no luck. Any ideas? I'm out of ideas.

    Do you have any videos/movies in the video app?
    In iTunes if you right click on the video and select Get Info and go to the Option tap what Media Type is shown?

  • I had downloaded a movie from itunes to my ipad prior to getting Apple TV. Connected Apple TV and set up home sharing. Can I now watch movie that I previously rented on Itunes on Apple TV?

    I had rented and downloaded movie from Itunes previous to purchasing and installing Apple TV. I set up home sharing with all computers and Ipad.
    Can I now watch movie on Apple TV which I had previously downloaded? I tried to access on Apple TV but videos show as empty.

    You cannot access the movie from the Apple TV screen. You would need to use airplay on the iPad to stream the video to the Apple TV.

  • My Apple TV 2 won't accept home movies from iTunes

    My Apple TV 2 won't accept certain home movies from iTunes but my Apple TV 3rd generation will. Some of my older home movies play on both units. Whats different about my new movies?

    Winston,
    I've been having connection problems with my ATV2 for quite some time. Internet connections are fine, regardless of whether wired or via Ethernet, but it simply won't connect to my iTunes library (spinning wheel for ever). What "irks" me here is your comment below:
    I'm a little concerned by the Apple TV not being seen in iTunes when you try to restore by micro USB, this is pretty much a last resort repair.
    Is the ATV2 supposed to show up in iTunes and if so, how/where? It sure doesn't show up in my iTunes! I seem to be able to connect, as when I try to close iTunes after one of my many attempts to stream a movie I close iTunes it complaines that there's one or more ATVs connected.
    @Peter: please do respond here as to whether a replacement ATV2 has solved your problems ... don't really want to shell out more money for it, but if it solves the problems...
