Why is my apple tv movie taking so long to download

I've done speed test several times and have 22mbps speeds and have never had a problem with renting movies before, but for the last month every movie I try to rent from Apple is taking hours.  Have no such problems streaming on other devices or using on-demand.  Been a problem since the last software update, hope it gets fixed soon or I just won't use it anymore. 

Also having download issues.  Downloading IOS updates through iTunes times out.  All non-Apple updates and iTunes content work as speedy as ever.
Oddly, IOS updates done from the device (system preferences on the iPhone and iPad), and not through iTunes, work quickly.  Not sure how the server works for one download method and not the other.

    If you think the download is going to take too long, then hook it up to iTunes on the computer you sync with. It takes very little time and far less memory to do it that way.

    Not Reset all content and settings but instead Reset Settings.

  • Why are the movies taking  so long to download

    hi there iv had a movie downloading on to my ipad and its been 3 days im new to his as this is the first movie iv downloaded

    Movies tend to be quite large files.  around 1.2GB to 1.5GB for SD versions. Twce that if they are HD.
    Depending on your Internet connection they can take a while to download.

  • Apple tv2 is taking too long to load movies

    My apple tv2 is taking too long to load movies, it displays a message saying it needs 200 minutes or more, what about you guys?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    The first thing to check would be your internet download speed, you can do this at www.speedtest.net.
    1080p HD movies require a recommended speed of 8 Mbps, 720p HD movies require a recommended speed of 6 Mbps, while SD movies require a recommended speed of 2.5 Mbps.

    Unfortunately you cannot re-download rentals, allow it to finish and enjoy it and consider the situation for further rentals.

    Hi Tiachia,
    The download is dependent on the network connectivity speeds.
    Please refer to the download speed vs time chart mentioned in the kb: http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/store-download-faq.html

  • 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.
