Why does it take forever for my tv show to load?

I am so disappointed with Apple TV.  I am a huge promoter of apple products but this one is the pits.... I can asure anyone responding to this post that it is not my network so you can take that out of the equation.  One day a show loads in 2 seconds and the next day i wait and wait and wait.... i have no hair left on my head... please someone give me the magic tocuh to get my apple tv2 to work!!!

Is this using home sharing or via the iTunes store? Please give more information, the network is the first thing to look at. If your speed is sufficient (6mbps) then it could be interference, are you using your ISP's DNS?
Need more to go on, need to know what you've tried and if you've ruled out the network then we need that detail.

  • Why does 'User not registered for online use' show up when I try to import a cd into itunes. None of the cd info shows up either

    Why does 'User not registered for online use' show up when I try to import a cd into itunes? None of the cd info shows up either.

    Well, the format I upload from the camera is "video clip" or "video for Windows"...sometimes I've converted them to avi format, too. But as I said, it never even lets me get that far...I never get to even select a clip. As soon as I tell the program to "import/clip" it freezes up before I can even go to the folder that the clips are in. It has only begun to do this recently, and I'd never had any problems like this before. Last night I tried it again, and I clicked "open composition", and it froze when I did that too.
    I'm not sure how much more specific I can be about the details of the clips, since I'm positive it has nothing to do with the clips themselves...I'm running Windows XP, though...Home Edition Service Pack 2, Pentium 4 CPU 2.80GHz, with 504 MB of RAM. I have had the automatic updates turned on since I did my last reformat a couple of weeks ago. Could it have something to do with some kind of an update it may have done?

  • 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....

  • Why does it take 15minutes for firefox to open a web page??

    why does it take 15 minutes for firefox to open a web page???????

    Have you tried to eliminate everything extraneous. In other words, do you experience the same delays with a simple Java program (no lookups, JNDI) that loads the drivermanager and creates a connection.
    Do you have access to a traciong JVM or some program that captures run-time execution timing information? Even without the source, this will tell you the specific class::methos where time is spent so you can better determine where the delay is ocurring.

  • Why does it take days for the mountain lion to download. it seems stuck and wont continue

    why does it seem mountain lion download is stuck and not downloading. it takes sooooo long

    Like macjack mentioned, restart your Mac and the download should pick up where it left off. If not, go back into the App Store and click the Download button and watch for it to start. Another user was having this issue and after a restart, he had to click download again to 'jump start' it. Then he was able to see a progress bar.

  • Why does it take forever to verifiy my keychain code

    When I try to verify my keychain on my Iphone 6 it takes forever to verify the code that was sent to me.  Why does this process take forever to complete?

    Your title and question are two different things.
    I have no idea what you are asking?
    Not sure if your asking why you don't get email on your phone after you've changed the password or why the email doesn't delete when you deletee it from the computer?

  • Why does Safari take forever to open now?

    For some reason Safari takes forever to open on my computer. This just started in the last week. The icon just bounces over and over until it finally stops with no triangular black arrow next to it. When I click on it again (after the initial bouncing) it slowly opens my home page. After reading all the other posts that might help my situation, I've reset Safari, checked for duplicate fonts, checked my proxies, thrown out Safari icons, etc.. Nothing seems to fix the problem. Any other suggestions?

    Hi Starman
    Thank you for your quick response. When I clicked the Safari icon this morning, it opened right up, so I don't know if one of the other things I tried before really did fix it or if this is just a fluke. Should I still throw out the cache in the Safari folder? I thought 'reset Safari' in the drop down menu would have already done that. Thanks for any response.

  • Why does it take forever to download a clip from youtube or a movie its impossible to watch

    When I try to download from youtube my mac takes forever only allowing a few min viewing at a time, same with movies and music clips

    Download 10.6.8 update
    run a speed test

    change your DNS to OpenDNS or something else
    Maybe your ISP throttles
    If you use DSL and have DSL filters on phones, those things can fail and affect bandwidth and need to be replaced ($5-8)
    then again, not knowng wired / wireless or Lion vs SL
    Did it just start? why? what changed?

  • Why does it take ages for my video files to be listed in the menu?

    I have my apple tv 2nd generation connected to my airport extreme first generation via ethernet. I have my mac mini connected to the same network (though not connected to the airport extreme) with video files and tv shows in itunes. My itunes media is stored on a hard drive connected to my mac mini and home sharing is on.
    It takes ages for my apple tv 2 to list the videos/tv shows in its menu. For example I have my films listed by genre. If I select a genre, it takes sometimes as long as 5+ minutes to list the videos within that genre.
    Can anybody help with this frustration?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You probably have a problem with your LAN. If you are using wifi:
    You can download and install iStumbler to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel.

  • Does it usually take forever for the app store to load on the ipad2?

    I just bought my ipad2 and I'm trying to access the app store but it takes a very long time to load. Is this normal? At first I thought it was just my Wi-Fi connection, but I can access safari, mails, etc in seconds but not the app store.

    If it is brand new - purchased in the last two weeks - I would certainly take it back and ask about it. Your warranty against manufacturer's defects is good for one year. If you bought it at an Apple Store you could make an appointment at the Genius Bar as well.
    Why you have no problems other than accessing the App Store is kind of strange. It may not hurt to call Apple support. You get 90 days of free technical support. This seems like a technical question to me.

  • Why does it take forever to download a movie

    Movie stops and starts constantly slow to download. Is there a solution. I have fast internet.

    If you are using wifi, try connecting your Apple TV direct using an Ethernet cable.  Other than that, it's a simple large file/transfer rate/bottleneck/issue.  Even fast wifi has some interference causing slower file transfer.  On my Apple TV 2 I think I've noticed that the first time is the worst.
