Why is the Daily Show taking so long?

I am about to give up my multi-pass for the Daily Show. Downloads used to be available within hours of the programs. Now, it regularly takes 3 days for them to appear. I'd rather watch clips for free on Comedy Central if I have to wait this long.
Does anyone know why this is or why Apple/Daily Show people don't care? They are about to lose a customer.

This is Apple's response to my e-mail and my response to them:
Dear Bruce,
Good afternoon. As a fan of shows like The Daily Show and The Colbert Report, I completely understand where you are coming from as far as the delays on getting those shows. Rest assured, Apple strives to provide quality products through the iTunes Store, but sometimes the videos that are provided to us are not the standard of quality you would expect. If they are below our standard, there may be a delay while we request new videos or work to fix the ones we have. This is especially true now that iTunes is transitioning to a new version. We are working hard to provide higher resolution videos and we make our best efforts to make the videos available for download within 24 to 48 hours of their air date.
I'm truly sorry for the inconvenience. If you have anything else you need answering, just let me know. Thanks!
Sincerely,
Brett
iTunes Store Customer Support
Hello Brett,
Thanks for your answer. I do understand there can be issues like this, so I will see if it clears up in the coming weeks. If not, I will have to end my subscription. It makes no sense to pay money for these videos when they are available on Comedy Central several days earlier and friends see them before you and discuss them.
Sincerely,
Bruce

Why is The Daily Show no longer available in UK iTunes Store?

I've noticed Jon Stewarts The Daily Show is no longer available in the UK iTunes Store.
Will this be permanent?

Sorry, but you don't. None of us here, who are all just fellow users, know why the Daily Show was removed from any iTunes Store. It was certainly by request of the owner(s) of the show, but what their reasons are none of us here can say and Apple never comments on the reasons for lack of availability of any content.
Regards.

Why is the extracting process taking so long on the download?

Why is the extracting part of the download taking forever I have had it running for two days nearly and it doesn'nt seem to be making any difference, I havent saved it to any other file just default as I have read on other parts of the forum that this is a problems can you help?

You are correct that this is likely happening due to the Adobe Download Assistant not having permission to save the download to the location specified.
You can either cancel the download again and try the default location of your user folder or try the steps listed in http://forums.adobe.com/thread/981369 to initiate a direct download.

See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Software Update not working properly)
Do a clean (re-)install instead:
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
* Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Why is the software update taking so long?

The pop-up box, "Software Update; Downloading Firefox; Connecting to the update server...", has appeared for the past three days, at different times. There is a progress bar within it that is scrolling, repeatedly, not ending.
This pop-up box only has a "Hide" button.
How long must this pop-up box be active?
Once prior today I did click the "Hide" button, but the pop-up box reappeared. Please give me some feed back.

I can no longer view some video such as the Daily Show

Ever since I have had my MacBook Pro (2years) I've been able to view any video that I wished. Suddenly a few can no longer be viewed, such as Jon Stewart's the Daily Show. Any ideas?

Noting that my video extension is .mov

My computer won't play videos from site like the Daily Show and the CW, but they stopped working last week. I have the newest version of Adobe player. Anyone know why the full videos will not play?

I failed to mention that the sound does play on the videos that are not playing.

Why does it stop every few seconds for "buffering" when I try to watch the Daily Show and the Colbert Report?!

The past couple of weeks whenever I try to watch the Daily Show and the Colbert Report the screen freezes up every 2 or 3 seconds and the message "buffering" comes on. VERY FRUSTRATING!!!

What happened to The Daily Show and Colbert Report in iTunes Store?

I was looking on iTunes today and couldn't find ANY recent episodes of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart available for download and couldn't purchase the 04/07/09 episode or another earlier episode I put on my "wish list". The same thing seems to be happening with The Colbert Report. Was there an announcement by iTunes that the shows are no longer going to be available or are they in the middle of updating their content? Why aren't older episodes available for download?
Who do you contact about the iTunes store/content?

Okay, for some reason, I tried this yesterday at least six times and it did not even change the settings. Today, I went into the Import Settings and changed it to mp3 encoder, hit 'OK', then hit 'OK' in the preference menu (same thing I did yesterday) and it suddenly decided to show up. That was weird... Sorry, but thanks for writing anyway. I don't know what happened...

Why is this new update taking sooooo long?

Because all those people who said "I'll cleverly wait until the day after the initial release to download" are all piling on today.
Seriously, the server loads will likely taper off by the weekend, if you want to wait.

I am downloading lion from the app store and the downloading is taking a long time. also my internet stopped for a few minutes. will that affect the download content.

i have done an online payment for the new mac os. and the downloading is taking a long time . why is it so. its been more than half a day.
also my internet was down for a couple of minutes and so does this affect the integrity of the software and would it be corrupted.
if the software is downloaded is corrupt will i be able to retrieve another copy or have i lost my money in thos.

My download took about 4 hours on a 6 Mbps connection, and I noticed from the winking router light that it paused from time-to-time. The download was successful. It operated perfectly, probably because I did a clean installation rather than the simpler upgrade.

HT2404 why is os X update taking so long I tried to download it and would not finish.

why is os X update taking so long I tried to download it and would not finish downloading..

It's been a few days since the original post. If you use Software Update again now, do you still have this problem?
Also, what is the name and version number of the update? If you can't get Software Update to do it for some reason, you can search for that update on Apple Support, then download and install it manually.
Before you do that, run Disk Utility (which is on Applications/Utilities). Select "Macintosh HD" in the sidebar and go to the First Aid tab. Click Verify Disk. This will check to make sure there is nothing is wrong with your startup disk. If there is a problem reported, that may be causing the problem with Software Update.
