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

I've downloaded movies from the iTunes store to my iPad but when I want to play them, I get the message... iTunes Store Terms and Conditions... but when I follow the link it still doesn't let me play my movies. What am I doing wrong?
Easy maybe, but a lot of users are used to playing the movies in iTunes on their computers so that is the first place they turn to on the iPad.
Enjoy the show! -
Do you have to have wifi to download movies from the iTunes Store?
Do you have to have wifi to download a movie from the iTunes Store?
You have to have a internet connection of some type, yes. You can enable the option to download over cellular, but keep in mind movies tend to be very large files.

i just downloaded two rental movies from the iTunes store, proceeded to sync them to my iPad, and now I can't find where they landed. Anybody know where to access rental movies on the iPad? thanks
And just in case .... You don't actually sync rental movies to the iPad....
To transfer a rented movie from iTunes, use the movies pane in iTunes. Rented movies transfer is at the top. You must have an Internet connection to transfer a rented movie. Select the "move" arrow in the direction you wish to transfer, and click the apply button at the bottom right. Rented movies can only exist on one device at a time, they do not sync like other video, but move from iTunes to the iPad. -
i rented a movie from the itunes store in hd and closed itunes on accident after letting it download and after reopening itunes i am un able find my movie rental. ive searched in my library, movies, etc. and i cannot find it anywhere. i did start it... but i have atleast another 20 hours to watch it before the rental expires.
Doublechecking. Did you download the rental in iTunes for Mac, iTunes for Windows, or an iOS device?

I downloaded ringtones from the iTunes Store from Nguyen Dev. It had some amazing tones, but when I tried to download it, it wouldn't work. I ave tried repeatedly, but to no avail. If I deleted it, would I get my money back. My ring tones are so bland that I wanted something that was a reflection of me. This had it all. I am so disappointed. What can I do?
I had some time finally figuring why I could buy and download from the Itunes store, but could not load it on my IPOD. What finally worked was plugging my IPOD in to the computer, as I would when "syncing", and, after loading, it would show my device in the side bar. You have to go to VIEW in the top Tool Bar and click on SHOW SIDE BAR in the drop down menu. "SUMMARY' tab, on top, is what I clicked on to show an option of restoring my IPOD to the factory defaults. It erases everything on the IPOD, but gives an option of AUTOFILL afterwards, which it does from the computer. This is one solution of many you could try. Good luck.

I have this problem since Hurricane Sandy hit, I had tried to purchase games and movies from the iTune store and it continues saying cannot connect to iTune store.
I know nothing about the app. Is it working properly otherwise? Did you try quitting Hooked On Words and the App Store app completely, restart the iPad and then try to purchase the app again?
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of both apps that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Did you try deleting the app, reinstall it and then see if you can make the purchase? Tap and hold down on the app icon until it jiggles on the screen and then tap the X on the icon to delete it. Tap the home button to stop all of the apps from jiggling. Download the app again. See if you can make the purchase then. -
I can't make purchases anymore in the App "Clash of Clans" and yet I can purchase music and movies from the iTunes store. Can someone help?
What happens when you try to buy them, does the 'buy' button not work, do you get any error messages ... ?
If you are getting a message to contact iTunes Support then you can do so via this link and ask them for help (we are fellow users on these forums, we won't know why the message is appearing) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption
If it's a different problem ... ? -
My problem mainly concerns cover art.
There have been times when I downloaded albums from the iTunes store to find its cover art it is absolutely beautiful, and is absolutely 100% un stretched. Whereas when I have gotten images for a specific album from Google Images it's terribly pixelated and totally disgusting.
Is there a way for me to obtain cover art for my albums that is has clarity equal to the cover art on the iTunes store albums.
Or will it basically boil down to I can only get that cover art by downloading my albums off the store?robcharlus wrote:
The old iTunes libraries do not restore any playlists or song counts.
They should you if you do the roll back properly... Opening files from the Previous iTunes Libraries folder in Windows Explorer simply opens the current library. If you don't see the .itl file extension then don't give your copied and renamed file the extention or iTunes will create an empty library rather than using the renamed file.
If you had a complete pre-problem backup of your library you could restore that. On the assumption that isn't possible I have a script called ExportImport that could in principle be adjusted to save the relevant data from a backup of the library database and then reimport that data into the current library. See this thread for details.

I rented a movie from the Itunes store and started watching it, but my computer jammed part way through, and now i can't find the movie to continue playing it, where can i find it?
Hi brett242424,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The movie would be in your iTunes library, in the Movies application. However, if the rental period has expired, you may need to contact the iTunes Store Support about your situation:
