Why does it take longer to download app on my MBA core i7 than it does my iPhone 3gs?

The app is over 700 Mbs but still.  It takes about 20 to download a Cd from itunes too. Not happy!!!

This solution worked wonders for me.  Maybe it wil work for you as well.  Good luck!
Go to the network (System Preferences -> Network) and add a new network.  Give it a name, then leave everything else standard.  Click the APPLY button, quit the application and reboot your MBA. 
That's it.
I have no idea why this works.  It may be that the default network location is broken, but building a new one fixes it.  Let me know if it works.

    why does it take longer to download a movie than to watch it???

    Most likely reason is a slow internet connection.
    Test is at speedtest.net on a computer, you need 6 Mbps for instant HD.

    Hi smilekick,
    Are you using Windows or Mac? Are you on a managed network. If no Try signing out and signing in of CC desktop. If still the same issue remove CC desktop, run the cleaner tool: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cscleanertool.html and try installing again.
    Create a new user account and check whether the same issue persists.

    Assume you and 'jasonfrompasorobles' are the same person?    Otherwise not sure where Winston has replied to you.  Where has he suggested you're in the wrong forum ? (common practice to tell people if they are as you're more likely to get an answer in the correct forum.)
    I refer you to Winston's first and only reply to jason... where he welcomed him to the forum - what is the download speed - measure it at speedtest.net on a computer.
    Netflix works completely differently - it works out your internet speed and reduces the quality of the stream (accordingly so starts much quicker on slower connections by degrading the quality with a lower bitrate stream.
    Apple's rentals are fixed sized files - HD 3-4GB, SD 1-1.5GB or thereabouts depending on film length - for fixed sized files with a given playback average bitrate/sec (Apple's tend to be up to 5 Mbps) if the connection speed is lower it is impossible to playback the movie instantly and continuously - it would stop and start all the time - so AppleTV calculates how much needs to buffer to allow the movie to be watched without stopping/starting - if your speed is very slow this could mean many hours for a HD title, and as TallBearNC suggests you can make some rough calculations to show why this happens.
    Other factors could be at play but the first thing to look at is always the average download speed on your internet  connection.

  • Why does it take longer to connect to my wifi network on Lion?

    Since upgrading to Lion on my older MacBook Pro I've noticed that waking from sleep, it takes airport sometimes up to 10 or 15 seconds to find my wifi network.  This never was the case with Leopord or Snow Leopard.  Is this a known issue in Lion upgrades or is something wrong in my Network settings?

    Hard to say definitively - nowhere near enough information, I'm afraid. One thing that I'm wondering is exactly what sort of drives you've put in the new machine. For instance, if you've put hybrid drives in it, then yes the stuff that gets used frequently (OS) may well load fast - but everything else will take significantly longer. Especially this would apply to large audio files. The other thing is .pk files. If you've turned those off, then large sessions will inevitably take longer to load (with Audition 3, at any rate) than they would have done otherwise. This situation appears to be a lot better with CS6 and CC, FWIW. But they have been completely rewritten, and designed to run on newer OS's, which Audition 3 simply isn't. Yes it will work fine - just won't be as effective in operation as the later software.

  • What does it take to get an app on the Ovi store?

    What does it take to get an app on the ovi store?  There are so many apps available that are not included in the ovi store.... like "s60spoton"  It allows you to use your cameras flash as a flash light! I've been wanting this forever.  If this app was easily available on the Ovi store, I would have been able to find it easily... but it was linked to me in a forum. 
    Why are there so many useful apps not cataloged in the Ovi store? 

    It's the maker of an apps responsibility to get it listed on the store so if it's not on there it's because the maker hasn't put it there.
    Nokia cannot put apps on the store without the makers consent.
    Only the maker/publisher of an app can tell you why their app isn't on the store. It may be for financial reasons, legal reasons, licensing issues, piracy concerns or they may just have ceased development and moved on.
    The ovi store isn't the only source of applications and some developers prefer to use independant sites like www.getjar.com instead.

    I purchased extra Icloud storage because I couldn't take any more pictures on my phone, or download any more apps. The extra storage purchase did not change a thing. I still can't take pictures or download apps. Help!!

    Icloud storage has nothing at all to do with the storage on your iphone.
    Icoud storage is on a server somwewhere, not on your iphone.
    You need to delete content from your iphone

  • 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.

    Maybe you went back to the store and repurhcased it. To downlaod past purhcases for free, you need to use your purhcase history.

  • Why can I no longer use my headphones remote to fast forward or rewind music videos on iPhone since upgrading to ios7?

    Why can I no longer use my headphones remote to fast forward or rewind music videos on iPhone since upgrading to ios7?

    The YouTube app is not included in iOS 6 (I think because the licensing agreement with google ended). You will either need to try one of the YouTube apps from the store (there is an iPhone optimised app from google, and other people have said that they are working on an iPad version), or (if this isn't the version that you have tried) try accessing the mobile version via Safari : http://m.youtube.com (you can create a home screen shortcut for the site)
