Why my iPhone 5 is downloading Apps so slow on wifi

Is it just me or what, i dont understand why my iphone 5 downloads Apps so slow, sometime it downloads 400mb file in quick time and sometime it takes half an hour to download 26 mb file, any elp is most welcome.

I had the same issue and even it happens most of the time, all you have to find out is it just Apple stores or other services are also choking, fo that do some browsing, check ur facebook videos, try speedtest.net, if other services are working at required speed then its a Apple App store servers problem, which gets better after sometime, and if its overall then do one thing, do the hard reset, means press home and sleep/wake button togeather and wait till iphone restarts by it self and Apple logo showup, just with that leave both buttons, i hope this will resolve the problem, but before doing that check the overall wifi performance.

    after downloading the lastest update, IOS 6, my iphone will not download apps. help

    I'm having the same problems. Can't even find out if Apple is working on it. Tried to downgrade but is not supported by apple so error 3194 comes up which is verifying with the apple web site. Which then stops everything. I understand you can modify the "hosts" file to by pass the issue, but hate doing that as it gets involved. May try it if I can't get any satisfaction from apple.

  • In the modern world why is not possible to download apps from foreign countries whilst in the uk...!?

    In the modern world why is not possible to download apps from foreign countries whilst in the uk...!?

    Because apps are licensed for sale only in specific countries by the developers, and for iTunes Store and credit card security and anti-fraud purposes you need an AppleID and billing address in the country you are buying from.
    Just because it is a digital download does not mean licensing and local commerce laws and taxes do not apply, like they would to a physical item.

    Go to Settings - General - Usage and see which apps are taking up a lot of space.
    In my experience, if you haven't cleaned out your Messages that is where a lot of space is consumed.

  • HT204053 My new HK iPhone will not download apps purchased in U.S. and says I need an HK Apple ID.  This creates a second Apple ID and I am concerned that I will have to pay twice for the same app.

    Apps previously purchased will continue to operate wherever you are.    However; you'll not be able to update them other than by using the original purchase details.   What this means is that you can only 'purchase' from a country's store if you have a valid credit card and residence of and in that country.

  • I cant download apps without being on wifi, how can i make this not happen?

    i have the droid ultra  cant download apps without being on wifi, help?

    Disable Data Saver.Find the Data Saver (Settings -> Battery & Data Saver) and uncheck "Enable Data Saver". Then return to the Market and restart your downloads.
    The above is to download from the APPS store. Not using WiFi.
    I found this in a web article.
    Good Luck

  • Why am I unable to download apps since updating my iphone 4 with version 5.1 software

    Please help,

    Thanks. I had just assumed that my iPhone 3 was just too old for new apps and updates (seemed like logical apple move) so I gave up trying. Decided to do some serious digging and found this post, your fix worked like a charm, I'm a little embarrased, but very thankful.

  • Error code 1004 keeps coming up on my iPhone 4 when trying to download apps and music through wifi

    My iPhone 4 keeps coming up with error 1004 when trying to download apps and music via wifi

    Tks heaps for that, had a look at Store and ITunes sections, not overly helpful unless I am missing something.
    My issue is that on my computer she would update her iPhone with Software updates via iTunes.
    I have gone and deleted her backups that were still sitting on there.
    If I want to update my Apps on my iPhone when due her Apple ID and password request will come up as an option to use that account if I knew the password and it's synced from my Computer even though she has been gone 7 months now. Is it a syncing issue or is her Apple ID stored in my iTunes backups somehow and keeps coming back? Do I need to de-authorize her account from my Computer?

  • Why does iphone use cellular data to contact internet when wifi is available?

    If I leave Mobile Data (or Cellular Data) enabled on my iphone,
    I find that the phone uses my carrier phone service to access the internet about 10 times
    per day. The accesses tend to be mostly very small data transfers (say about 10KB).
    I have no idea why these transfers are taking place, but I can see them on my Vodofone bills.
    Since I am rarely away from my home wifi facility, I would also expect any access to
    use wifi as a first choice, and notify me if there was a need to use cellular access.
    So I have 2 questions. What are these data transfers that I am not explicitly requesting,
    and why are these data transfers not made through free home wifi as a first choice.
    Apple has advised me to turn off mobile data unless I am away from my free wifi.
    Mike

    Thanks for the reply. I haven't used visual voicemail. My preference would be for any data transfer to be done on wifi when wifi is available. Battery life is not currently an issue for me. I do think that it shoud be possible to find out which service or app is causing the data transfer. Although I am not near my data limit at present, I do think that I have a right to know why a service, for which
    i pay, is bring used.
