Why is it taking extremely long to download purchased movies, i.e. longer than 4 hrs for a non HD movie?,

It has taken over 4 hours to download Transformers 2 (non-HD).  Is there anything I can do to increase the download time?  My internet provider is through ATT U-Verse.  Could this be the problem?

This will depend on your network. Also, there is no accessible storage so if the device is turned off or other content accessed the movie will be flushed and require reload.
Check speedtest.net
1080P requires 8mbps for instant stream
720P requires 6mbps for instant stream
Check istumbler.net to verify any interference on the network
Make sure you are on your ISPs DNS (settings - network - configure DNS - automatic)

  • I can no longer buy, download, or update apps/iTunes without being asked for apple ID and billing information to be declined

    I can no longer buy, download, or update apps/iTunes without being asked for apple ID and billing information. Even if apps are free or updating I'm asked for billing information. It's been like this for a couple of weeks after the purchase of a movie off iTunes and the purchase was successful but afterwards my App Store and iTunes stopped working properly. Help me please, thanks.

  • Why is it taking 3 hours to download new iOS 8.1.3 software?

    what's going on?? 3 hours to download update to my mac? why is it taking so long. is it really that big of an update or should have I just downloaded directly to my phone and not to my computer as I have done for all other iOS updates?

    What is your internet speed? The update is approx 3 GB and took ~ 27 minutes on my 10 megabit connection. This has a lot to do with how long it takes to download something. Network traffic will affect this as well. If too many people are trying to download the same thing at the same time, throughput will slow down. If the download is taking too long, possibly start it before heading to bed.

  • HT1498 Why is it taking 8 hours to download a rented movie?

    Why is it taking 8 hours to load a rented movie on ITV?

    Winston,
    Converted HD movies for Apple TV are not more than 2.5MB stream in HD. Apple TV gen 1 wa capable of 5Mbit with less FPS, but not newer once. Where did you get 6 and 8Mbit from?
    There is no need for that fast stream (sorry buddy but I work with streams quite a bit).
    The problem could be not a speed, but crowdeed networks. If one uses WiFI on 2.4 GHz then in crowded areas you have issue of too many overlapping WiFI networks and time sharing channels. Only three channels in WiFi band 2.4GHz do not overlap, but there are still shared by neigbors.
    That is the reason I run 5GHz Wirless-N as the only one in my neigborhood. No channel overlaps, no choppy network, no choppy movies.
    That may not be an issue of stream speeds. Just ADSL 3Mbit would be fine. Trust me as I had that for long time with Apple TV before I switched to FiOS.
    Apple TV is equipped with enough memory to buffer almost entire H.264 encoded High Definition movie so only start could be delayed if network is slower, but not by 8 hours.
    Another possibility is that Apple network is busy which I experienced quite a bit in the past especially on Friday and Saturday evenings. Rentals that time were menace.

  • Why is it taking 3 hours to download trial version of photoshop, elements 10?

    I am trying to download trial version of Photoshop Elements 10 and it saya it will take 3 hours to download. Why does it take so long? I thought the days of long downloads were like the dinosaurs, a thing of the past.

    I am the author of above post, and I want adobe to be aware that I have uninstalled their product and will not be considering any products to be purchased from them. I spent several hrs. last night and all day today watching hour after hour of tutorials on the elements program and was still unable to complete a single project. I phoned support. Their return call was 3 hrs later than they said it would be and then they hung up before I even spoke to a CS rep.or support tech. You want the money, Adobe, but ypou don't want to put a user friendly program on the market, nor do want to make sure that sufficent support is out there for those of us brave enough or stupid enough to actually try to master your products. I WILL NOT, EVER, CONSIDER PURCHASING ONE OF YOUR PRODUCTS AGAIN. Just to get to a forum or tutoria, which are not thurough, takes a miricale and several hours.

  • HT1349 I have a laptop computer with Windows 7, powered intel core i7. I am trying to download a  purchased movie from ITunes. I am on wifi g.  Why is it taking 17 hours to download a simple movie? This is nuts!

    Question:  Why when downloading a purchased movie from ITunes does it take 8 to 17 hours to download?  I have an HP Laptop with Windows 7 using a core processer i7.  This is the second day to try to get the movie downloaded and I still cannot watch this movie.  Seems like a problem with ITunes or a scam. I use a IPhone 4 with little issues, But when using this lap top -- it is a joke.

    First thing to do is get the CC off your system.  Then try the direct download option linked below...
    You can download the trial version of the software thru the page linked below and then use your current serial number to activate it.
    Be sure to follow the steps outlined in the Note: Very Important Instructions section on the download pages at this site and have cookies enabled in your browser or else the download will not work properly.

  • Why is it taking 3 days to download a trial version of Elements 10?

    And I'm talking about the version for a MAC Book Pro? I can download 'most' trial softwares from the site on my PC with no problem? Why is there always a problem with the MAC?????? And before anyone get crazy-
    YES - I can download at any other site on this planet, with no problems-MAC and PC
    YES - I've had both machines checked out for optimized internet connectivity
    YES - I also am a technician!

    Well, when the download starts very slow, the best thing to do is to cancel it and try again a little later.

  • 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 Apple have HDCP?  Videos I purchased years ago no longer play!

    If there's actually a solution besides a new monitor, please post.

    There are solutions to HDCP.   However, the answers are usually deleted.
    Please search your issue elsewhere on the Internet.  HDCP was demanded by the Hollywood cartel (not Apple), primarily to harass their customers.
    In future, I strongly recommend that you purchase movies on DVD or Blu-ray.  That way, you can watch them anywhere hassle free.
    Good luck !

  • HT1206 I have two apple id's and when I tried to sign into my old one to download purchases onto my computer, it warned me that I would not be able to download purchases or autodownload using my other id for 90 days.

    I just wanted to sign in under my old id once to download past purchases then return to my primary id where I have some complete tv seasons I don't want to lose access to as they become available. When I tried, it warned me that I would be unable to use another id to access purchases or autodownload for 90 days! Can I still manually download or does this cut me out of access to my primary id for 3 months. I need clarification before I do anything I regret. Any input would help..

    You don't have a copy of your downloads on a backup of your library ? If you log into your old account and redownload its past purchases then you will only be able to use that old account until the 90 days have completed : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
    If you do redownload its purchases then you could try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can remove the association (I can't guarantee that they will) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
