Why are my purchases made on one device showing up as "waiting" to download on my other devices, until I plug those devices into a power supply?

Any time I make a purchase on one device, say my Mac Book, the items show as "waiting" in the downloads area of my iPad and iPhone. Once I plug those devices in to a power supply, they begin to download.
note that automatic downloads in all format types are turned on on all devices.
Any ideas on if there's a power setting that I can change somewhere to make it NOT a requirement that my devices be plugged in to automatically download?? I know you are all shocked to hear this, but I did not have this problem prior to iOS 8. (Both my iPad and iPhone have 8.1)

The iPod has to be powered on, and it has to have a live wifi connection.  If it is not showing up it may be powered off, the battery may have died, it may be in sleep mode (the wifi radio is off in sleep mode when running on the battery), or it may not be in range of any known wifi networks.
Also, since the tracking feature is a function of iCloud account credentials, if the device has been reset as new, then your daughters iCloud account and its settings will have been erased.  In that case, the device will never show up again.
If the device did not have a passcode lock and/or account restrictions enabled on it, then anyone finding it could also go into the iCloud account settings and disable the "find my iPod" setting.

  • Why are my purchases made on my iphone not showing in purchases on pc? ********.

    Really sick of paying top dollar for services that don't work correctly.

    What purchases are you asking about?  If they are apps that were purchased on an iOS device they will not be available for anyother device and not show up.  If tunes, is your PC authorized?  Have you tried to sync the purchases to the PC?

  • Why are multiple audio tracks causing one of the track levels to increase automatically when the other doesn't have an audio file in it?

    So I'm editing an interview and during subtitle sequences in the interview where there is no audio in the interview audio track, the levels automatically rise in the background music track.  Here's an illustration of my problem...

    I also troubleshooted by clicking the Solo button on the background music track and the music plays at the elevated level the whole way through when it's set to be the only track to play.  So for some reason, the interview audio track (when it's playing sound) is causing the background music track to decrease in level.  I get the same thing on exports.  Why is Premiere messing with my levels automatically?  No phone or chat support so I'm left asking the forums, thanks for the great customer service Adobe.

    Hi Richard,
    Appreciate you taking the time to help out.  There are absolutely no effects whatsoever on the audio or video tracks.

  • Why are my purchased songs?

    Why are my purchased songs not showing up on my phone under Purchased?
    I downloaded one song yesterday from my phone and that showed up but I purchased and downloaded 4 songs today on my computer from iTunes and now they are now showing up.. WHY//////

    Not sure why this is happening and it is a pain. Once the Purchased list sorted by 'date added' go to the left most column and select the top - in my Purchased list the new items go to the bottom and I drag them back up to the top position.

    why everytime I purchased a song on my iphone and 1 day after downloaded it, the artwork disappeared? please help. iOS 8.1.3 iphone 5s here.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
    If the issue persists, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • I have purchased songs with one laptop, but I do not see them on my other laptop. Other music is there but no "Purchased tracks" Both Laptops run windows 7. Thanks.

    I have purchased songs with one laptop, but I do not see them on my other laptop. I find my older music, but not the "Purchased" songs.
    I have the two laptops authorized, out of a possible 5, so why can't I find my new songs???
    Thank you for any help.

    You probably cannot find them on the other computer because you did not put them on the other computer.
    They will not magically appear in another location.  You purchase on and only one download.  it is your responsibility to move/copy/backup your music.

    Did you check Walmart's terms for video/movie downloads? Do they allow transfers/copying of a movie to another device?

    The original iPad can't be updated past 5.1.1; you may be able to get compatible application versions by downloading them to a computer and then going to the Purchased screen on the device.

  • Why isn't purchased music video (one of several) not appearing on my AppleTV

    I recently bought a dozen music videos related to a tv show. All but one has appeared on my Apple TV music video list. Doing a search in music on my AppleTV I still find it listed for sale and not purchased even though I purchased it a long while back. How can I get the Apple TV to clue in and recognize ALL the music videos I have purchased?

    I'd contact iTunes Store and see what the issue is.
    I have items that I've purchased, do not show as such in iTunes on a computer but are available to re-download via iTunes Purchased quicklink.
    When items 'change' in the store - they may get a price cut, different product code or something on Apple's servers they can be treated as different products.
    Query with the Store - if nothing else they might offer a credit so you can replace the old item with one that shows up.
    I've also in the past got caught out by poor quality video episodes that I've complained about and had refunds on - so for example one bad episode in a Season got refunded but was then not available in the cloud.

  • Why are there no up/down arrows to show recent sites on the "Back/Forward" browser arrows?

    FF 3.6 and earlier had a very useful feature on the "Back" and "Forward" navigation arrows that allowed me to quickly jump to pages a few farther back (or forward) than the just one I get by clicking the "Back" (or "Forward") arrow.
    With FF 4.0, those very useful arrows are gone. How do I get them back?

    If you just click and hold on the button you get the menu with all the sites you've been to. Then just click on the one you want.

  • Why are the purchase options (rent, purchase movies) grayed out on iTunes?

    I'm running version 10.6.3 of iTunes and want to purchase and/or rent some movies.  For some reason, the options beneath the movie artwork to buy or rent the movie are grayed out.  Why can't I give apple my money???

    The iPhone's Apps tab in iTunes should be grayed out if Sync Apps isn't checked.
    Are you syncing apps from that computer or another one?
    Does it happen if you Authorize the computer and Sync Apps from it?

  • Why are any purchases I make, being billed to a credit card that is not the credit card I have listed and given the details of, in my billing information section?

    All my purchases on itune are billed to a credit card that is not the credit card that is detailed on my billing profile? How is this possible? I have checked and reinserted my credit card details several times in my billing section and still charges are taken off a different credit card, that's not listed on my billings details????How do I stop this? How do I get hold of an e mail address for billings so I can ask them what the heck is going on?
    Please help, I am going mad trying to understand this

    It is a bad situation. Your credit card expired but you cannot change it because FormsCentral is retiring.
    Please consider moving your forms to JotForm right away. It takes a few minutes to do it using JotForm new Import Wizard:

  • Why Are My Purchases Not Reducing Album Cost?

    Today, I purchased the album "Modern Times" from the "Bob Dylan: Complete Album Collection: the 90s to the 00s".
    However, it did not reduce the price of completing the collection.  This hasn't happened before.  When I purchased a previous single on the collection, the price for completing the album was reduced by the cost of the song.  In addition, when I purchased an album from the "Bob Dylan: Complete Album Collection: the 60s", the cost of that collection was reduced by the price of the entire album.
    How can I fix this?  I can't even figure out what happened.  I paid over $12 for that album, and I was hoping one day to pick up the rest of the collection.  Can I contact Apple about it?

    Hey xHadley,
    Check out this article that will let you go through and download the past purchased through iTunes. It will give steps to do this through multiple devices including iTunes.
