Why is downloading movies and videos so slow on my iPad?

Our iPad is downloading movie very slowly. It keeps buffering so that it takes twice as long as what the movie actually is. How do I know if this is our internet or the iPad. Our iPad 3 doesn't seem to be as slow.

Usually I would assume that it is your internet connection. Unless you download the same movie to two iPads at the same time to make the comparison, you sort of have to assume that it is the connection and not the device.
You are saying that your iPad 3 doesn't seem to be as slow so that indicates that you have doubts that it is the device.

    You convert them to a format compatible with the iPhone, import them to iTunes, and sync them to the phone.

    Movie & TV content is only available in the US store at this time. Until the copyright holders in Australia authorize Apple to distribute this content, there is nothing Apple can do.

    Hi Skye_Starkey,

    Please powercycle your modem and computer: Unplug from power > Leave off for 10 - 15 mins > then Plug back in and re start. This will often force a line update through to your modem advising the signal is restored.

  • Cannot download movies and music purchased from itunes to ipad

    I have an iPAD 2 with WIFI/3G capabilities.  Currently I am unable to download movies and music purchased from iTUNES.  The only thing I can download with no problems are APPS.  I don't have a laptop/desktop with iTUNES, so that is out of the question.  Here is the kicker, my friend who has an iPAD 2 with WIFI only, is able to download anything and everything using the same WIFI connection.  Is anyone else facing the same problem?

    Check settings, general, restrictions.  Make sure I tunes is set right.  Otherwise, log onto your account in I tunes, and make sure there is nothing strange going on with your accout.  If it works in the app store, it should work in I tunes.

  • Why is downloading movies from the iTunes store so slow?

    why is downloading movies from the itunes store so slow?

    Hi there
    Many users seem to be experiencing this issue around the world (see thread  https://discussions.apple.com/message/16981332#16981332) - my iTunes dowload last night showed 7 hours ETA for a 45 minute tv show.  this morning I rebooted it and tried again, it is now taking 2 hours.  An improvement in theory but still terrible.  I don't know if it is internet connection but everything else I do on the internet seems to be running at normal pace.....
    Not much help sorry but at least you can see you are not alone
    Cheers

  • HT5622 Why I can't download music and video from my computer to my iphone 5s?

  • HT1349 why are my pictures and videos from 4s iphone when downloaded sideways and the videos too?  Please help with feedback

    Ok who has been having problems everytime you want to download your videos and pictures they download sideways and videos too, please help

    The photos and videos are not imported that way. The problem lies with whatever photo/video viewing software you are using with Windoze which is ignoring or not recognizing the photo/video orientation info which is included with the photo/video EXIF data by the iPhone.
    I've never had this problem but I use a Mac which doesn't ignore photo/video orientation info included with photo/video EXIF data.

  • I am unable to movies and videos in to my itunes

    I am unable to movies and videos in to my itunes

    Yes! It is set up for manual management because I have way more music than will fit on my nano so I am only putting my favorites on it! It's just odd that the music on the 2 new CDs I downloaded into iTunes will not copy over! When I drag my songs to the playlist I made on my nano it acts like it is copying because I get the number of songs icon and the + sign indicating that it is copying but then the playlist is empty. The nano will say for a couple seconds that it is synchronizing but in the end nothing has transferred! If I take an older song and drag it into the playlist it does copy! Seem like it has to do with the new CDs being compatible with nano? I would really appreciate any advice! Thanks!

  • I can't download photos and videos from my iphone

    Hi,
    I have iPhone 4 with iOS 5. Can't download photos and videos from my iphone because my PC doesn't see it. Also my camera roll doesn't show right thumbnails and when i open a photo it shows it in low resolution. Only after i start editing it shows the photo itself in original resolution. iTunes recognises my phone but freezes on back up. When i updated my phone to ios 5 everything was wiped clear and i lost all of data that was in it. Please help me, i do not want to lose my data again.
    I plugged it in to another pc (win7) but no files in DCIM.

    appears to be one of the bugs associated with ios 5 that need to be worked out.  (i had a problem where I had music on my phone, the phone didn't recognize the music but the computer could find it)
    While I don't know how to fix the immediate problem, I have a workaround that will get you past this if you are willing...
    My suggestion is to turn on icloud and photostream on your iphone, and download and install the icloud control panel on your pc found here
    http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html
    take a "picture" (quickly press the home button and lock button at the same time) of each picture on your device so they show up in your camera roll and will sync to your photostream cloud.  This will in turn cause your pc to download the photos from your photostream cloud via the icloud control panel.  Your photos will be on your computer, and you will never have to sync your phone to get photos off your iphone again.

  • HT4528 Why is the WiFi and browser so slow on iPhone 5?

    Why is the WiFi and browser so slow on iPhone 5?  I've noticed they are not as quick as other smart phones and have seen this brought up in forums.  Also, the WiFi was slow with my iPhone 4 anyone know what the deal is?
    Thanks in advance

    Sadly that spiffy reply was of no use.  Browser is so slow and in looking at 3 different iPhones I have noticed there is a serious wait for any simple page to come up like MSN maybe its the iOS maybe Safari maybe should reset daily.  Truly not impressed Apple can you here us now?  Probably not... to busy restarting or resetting.
    Truly hope it improves in a hurry.

  • Hw can i download music and videos in lumina710

    Hw can i download music and videos in lumina710 directly from mobile web????!!#!
    Y my mobile Lumina is not getting web continuously having full signal too

    Hey Lumina710, Welcome to the Nokia Forums!
    Im afraid if you are looking to put video or music content on your Lumia 710 you will have to download the files onto your PC and transfer them accross using Zune software. However you can still stream content rather than download it. 
    You can also purchase music in the Marketplace application.
    I hope this helps!
