Why is it taking so long to download the movie I bought?

I bought a movie on iTunes hours ago and I am still waiting for it to download! What is the deal?

It only downloads as fast as your internet connection allows it to download.

    If you're doing the full update it's almost a gig of data, take a bit to download that. It usually comes down to your internet connection.

    Why is it taking so long to download the upgrade from snow leopard v10.6.8 to os X Mavericks?

    Because the file is over 5 GBs. If your internet service is slow then it can take a long time - several hours.

  • 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)

  • Why is it taking so long to download our movie we rented

    We are renting our first movie on Apple TV and it says it is going to take over 2 hours to download.  What is happening?

    Chances are your internet coonection speed is a little on the low side.
    With a 4 Mbps connection it might take 40 mins for me to start watching a film.
    AppleTV2 require 6Mbps or higher for near instant streaming of HD.
    You can change the rental setting to SD in settings - the files are about a quarter of the size, cheaper and start much faster but of course not HD.

  • Why is it taking so long to download. Is this normal?

    Why is it taking so long to download. Is this normal?

    How long is "so long"?
    Some product downloads are up to 1.6GB; that can take some time - very much depending on your Internet connection.  Check http://www.download-time.com/
    For a test, I just downloaded Illustrator CC 2014 (1.6 GB), and the download completed within 13 minutes (and I am 10,000 km away from the Adobe download servers).
    Try downloading from http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cc-2014-direct-download-links.html - make sure you follow the Very Important Instructions on that page.

  • Why is it taking so long to download InDesign CC?

    Why is it taking so long to download InDesign CC?
    If I am not able to download the new applications, due to an extremely slow connection, does Adobe have other means to help me obtain the software?
    Are there any 'other' solutions?

    Yes, I was able to finally download two out of three of my applications. I waited three hours to get two pieces of software, and I still need to download one more application.
    While talking to the customer service department in India, I was told that I could not get help in bypassing my slow Internet connection. Even though I have been a loyal and law abiding customer for thirteen years, Adobe's customer service department treated me like a piece of crap. All I wanted to do is get my applications on cd, so I can bypass the buggy and long downloading periods. I tried desperately to explain: (1) I have been a loyal customer for thirteen years, (2) I bought and committed to a yearly subscription, (3) I have followed Adobe's legal rules since day one, (4) I have no problems with the software's DRM, and (5) I love and support Adobe products.
    Regardless about how much I sympathized with Adobe's position, I could not get your customer service department to 'care about me'. I walked away feeling depressed and defeated.
    As a result of going through a horrible customer service experience, while also struggling with the change to cloud, I started to think about a change in career. Why do I want to be a graphic and web designer? I spent a crap load of money on an education, so that I can become a slave to the industry's dominate software maker. If it was not for the fact that Adobe's software is the industry's standard, the recent events with your customer service department would have made me walk away.
    It sucks that your company has a 90% strangle hold on the industry I love.

  • Why is it taking so long to download iCloud onto new phone

    Why is it taking so long to download my iCloud onto new phone

    What does download iCloud mean? You don't download iCloud. You download the content that is in your iCloud backup to your phone. If you have a great deal of content in the backup, it can take a good bit of time.
    Define "so long". That doesn't mean anything to anybody here. It's a relative term and we have no idea how much time "so long" is to you.

    If you have anti virus software installed, disable that.
    Turn off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security & Privacy
    Check your internet speeds just in case >  Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test
    Try not using other applications that require downloading files while downloading media from iTunes.

  • HT4095 why is it taking so long to download tv series

    why is it taking so long to download tv series

    You can only download as fast as your Internet connection allows you to download. An entire TV series would probably be a pretty large download as well, so it could take a few hours, depending upon your download speed.

  • HT2693 I have been trying to down load 3 movies for the last week and they are still trying to download why is this taking so long we have the gig to download? Apple have charged us for the movies and we can't watch them

    I have been trying to play my movies that I purchased but they have now been down loading for a week.
    Why are they taking so long?

    Cancel the downloads and reset the iPad (Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts off. Ignor the off slider. Then turn the iPad back on). Go back to the Purchased screen in the I.tunes app and redownload. You may want to down load one at a time.

  • Why does it take so long to download a movie rental from I tunes. I want to then transfer to my Ipad

    Why does it take so long to download a movie rental from itunes. I am doing this to transfer to ipad.This is a question.

    I have noticed this here on several machines in our office, all running Leopard.
    I just did a test and subscribed to the same 16.8MB podcast on a machine running 10.4.11 and another running 10.5.8.
    The Tiger raced straight through and downloaded at a constant rate, taking about 15 seconds.
    The Leopard raced until 1.2MB downloaded and then slowed to a crawl, going up 0.1MB every 10 or 15 seconds.
    Very strange. I've noticed the Leopards were having similar problems doing downloads through the Software Update utility.
    I compared downloading an update from Support Downloads in Safari and there is no problem.
    So (for me) this issue is applying to Leopard rather than Tiger, and only to downloads via SU and ITunes, not regular http downloads through a browser.
