Why it takes 20 hrs to download an HD movie to my computer?

For the past week, I'm trying to download an HD movie that I purchased on ITunes and it is taking forever.
How can I make this farter?

Hi there
This often occurs if your computer does not meet the minimum system requirements for viewing HD content in iTunes. You can find more information, including system requirements, in the article below.

Why it takes long time to download and udates for iphone4

why it takes long time to download and updates for iphone4 ?

Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
Why do you need this if you are going to Oracle. Try
removing this. It might be trying things out with the
old driver and then moving to the new driver. This has nothing to do with it. (And it doesn't "try things out")

Also check your machines. They might be slow. There is
no reason, it should take more than few hundred
milliseconds to connect to a database on localhost as
your case is.Possible reasons...
- Network traffic
- Faulty router/gateway
- Busy server
- Faulty network card (either end)
- Conflict with another box

Why will it take 26 hours to download a rented movie?

Why will it take 26+ hours to download a rented movie?

For watching a movie only the download speed matters, and 4 mbps is OK, not great but good enough to start streaming a movie in about 10 minutes or less (rentals don't have to download all the way to begin watching).
Something else is clogging the pipe ... is the ATV connected to the router via Ethernet, or over Wi-Fi? Wi-Fi is normally faster than your ISP service, but there might be router settings that are getting in the way of the Wi-Fi connection. Ethernet may be faster, at least to see if it works better, or there might be port settings on your router that need to be optimized (sorry, can't help you there).
I've also heard that changing your router's DNS address may help things (try OpenDNS's addresses "208.67.222.220" or "208.67.222.222", or Google's DNS "8.8.4.4" or "8.8.8.8").

Welcome to the Apple Community.
It's likely network related, have you checked your internet download speed (speedtest.net) or tried anything to eliminate interference on you local network.

Attempting to download 'Drive' in HD. ITunes says it will take 15 hrs to download, is there anything I can do to make it quicker?

Win 7 either comes with a virtural XP machine installed, or it's freelly availible. I forget which, but this may be a simple solution to your issue.

Why does it take so long to download a saved movie from the cloud

Why does it take so long to download a saved movie from the cloud

Hi first off if your running fcp 7 with compressor 3.5 and fcp x and compressor 4 on the same drive you may run into problems
as you now have a mix up between Qmasters which caused me lots of problems when i did any back ground Rendering via compressor of FCP-X
i had to completly remove compressor 3.5 and compressor 4 then put compressor 4 back on again as the shared rendering out of FCP-X seems to loose the plot with both versions on the same on the same drive there is an app
Here
http://www.digitalrebellion.com/fcsremover/
which you can get allows you to get rid of certain bits of FCS and FCP-X correctly as you may know deleting the app is,nt the whole story as you need to remove the pref etc as well
but its really clearing out every thing to do with qmaster thats is the thing here thats what causes all the issues
really you should follow apple install instructions for FCP -X install ( and put it on separate volumes ) and i know they say there is a way to get every thing working on the same drive ...but it did,nt work for me like you i had massive render times and that 3x crash error
any way
once i had remove done my remove C3.5 ,C4 and reinstall C4 only it worked straight away from FCP-X using all the cores on my machine
get some thing like istats or run activity monitor to make sure Fcp-x is using all your cores to render and you can actually see if its doing anything at all instead of waiting 5 hours for an error
if you want to use multi core in compressor 4 you have to go into the new apple qmaster tab and setup up a quick cluster etc
On another note i alway use Optimized media when doing the import as while you editing its back ground render every thing into pro res making it a much nice codec to compress down to H264 which you need for the ATV
i hope that helps a bit ,some else may have a better solution but worked for me
thanks

Why does it take 3 hrs to download an update on high speed internet

Okay so i have a good fast provider on high speed internet but when i seem to download updates on my macbrook pro it takes awhile for it to download. On average its been about 2 hrs longest 4.. Now for example i have app store updating an app which size is about 1.34 gb i starts out at 30 min and then just skyrockets from there. And if i amlooking at it as in the screen is open to the app store update page it takes long but omce i change screens it goes feom 3 hrs to under an hour. I dont if its just me but why does it seem to not be able to multitask? Am i missing something here. I have a 3 year old hp with faster processing capabilities. Please help out. Some one

Sometimes it doesn't really depend on your ISP download speed, it depends on how busy the developer's servers might be. For instance, last night I downloaded an 800+MB file from the Apple Developers website. What usually takes less than 30-40 minutes took over 3 hours because so many people were hitting the servers and the same files at the same time.
So if your download speed is fast via your ISP, remember that things on the server side may be slow or busy: and that's going to take additional time to download.
Just curious as to what your download speed actually is and what size the files were that you're trying to download?

Why does it take so long to download an itunes movie rental

I've got a great high speed internet connection (54 MBPS) and typical downloads of 4-5 GB take about 30 minutes. My Itunes movie rental is taking about 40 hours, and I'm only managing about 500 kB per second. What gives? Is this punishment for owning a PC?

Why does it take so long to download my own movies from iCloud?

What is the point of iCloud if it takes 36 hours to download a movie I already own?

Yes of course, but 18 hours is a long time to see a movie you already own.
How can I keep th movie in my computer and NOT let it go to iCloud?

I just bought a new apple tv and it said that it takes 12 hours to download a rented movie

I just bought a new apple tv and it said it takes 12 hours to download a rented movie

It needs to load a portion before playback can start, the time it takes is dependent on your network.
What is your current connection via speedtest.net (at least 6mbps needed for instant HD)
Make sure DNS is set to auto (settings - general - network)
If on wifi try ethernet
Reboot ATV and router

WHY MAIL TAKES SO LONG TO DOWNLOAD ATTACHMENTS???

I'm using Mail 2.0.7 program to handle my mac.com mail account. It takes ages to download attatchments, while if I open a message from mac.com web page or other mail programs the download is perfect.... any idea why this happens? how can I solve this?
PowerbookG4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

How long does "it takes ages" include?
Accessing messages via webmail access using a web browser and with an email client are different entirely and not comparable.
Assuming you are accessing your .Mac account as a .Mac type account in Mail (which is really an IMAP type account and behaves in the same way), did you create your .Mac account as an IMAP type or a POP type account with the other email clients or mail programs?

How can I make my Apple TV more reliable? It takes a day to download a HD movie on a T1 to play later, but when I try to play the movies, Apple TV can't, and says try again later. Doesn't the day download time put the HD movie on the Apple TV device?

How can I make my Apple TV work? I downloaded two movies, to play later, on April 4, 2014. I tried to watch them this evening only to get a message they are not available and to try later. How long can it take Apple to download the movies? I encourage anyone thinking about buying an Apple TV to get a different media player that is reliable. Apple TV is not worth the money, nor the time it takes to download movies, nor the effort trying to get your money back when Apple TV fails,and it failsl oftern.. Apple never seems to have a problem charging for the movies, but it frequently has a provlem delivering what people pay for.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router.
Reset the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Reset all settings)
Restore the Apple TV (Settings > General > Reset > Restore)

HT3209 Why does apple not allow me to download an hd movie to my pc? Why doesnt apple get it that I simply want to download a hd movie to my computer so that I can repeatedly watch the hd movie via apple tv to my pc as opposed to using isp bandwidth?

See title.

This does not answer you question as to "why does apple", because for some reason Apple will treat us like children and try to do everything for you. An unrelated example would be trying to change the IP address of an Airport Extreme Base Station. You cannot. It will always grab the first IP in your subnet whether you like it or not. OK I digress. What I can say is that iTunes, in it's infinite wisdom, will look at your display and decide whether it will playback a HD movie (minimum 1280x800). If not, based upon display settings, it will refuse you the HD download. The "why" I cannot answer other than if you buy the HD movie on any other device like your iPhone 4 or iPad, you cannot share it from your library. So, maybe they get to sell more copies of the movie? That's my best guess. I've been an Apple guy since I first bought my Apple IIe. But honestly, I fume at them for being entirely non-responsive to their customers. Another example is the loss of the scroll arrows starting in OS Lion. Despite thousands and maybe millions of customer complaints, they refuse to listen. (Wow, I feel so much better...)

I hope someone can tell my why it takes imovie 20 hour to finish a movie project. Granted it is a 5 hour documentary, but 20 hours, really?

Is it my computer or is there a legitimate reason for imovie to take so long to prepare a project for sharing?

Hi
Can it be so that Start-up hard disk is filling up ? Try to never have less than 25Gb free space when working with SD-video and 4-5 times more when editing HD-video.
Other hard disk's of NO interest at all as neither iMovie or iDVD or Mac OS can address them for their temp.files.

I want to download a HD movie on my computer but keep getting error that I should download SD version.

I save everything to an external HD so why does iTunes care whether I can play it back or not on my old Dell XPS Gen 2 laptop? It is a redeemable download code for the movie Identity Thief. Is this a common problem and is there a fix? Thanks.
