Dear Tim thanks very much for the info. I can't find show itunes in the cloud purchases in the store section of itunes preferences for some reason, although I have seen it there in the past. I am running the most recent version of itunes with mavericks. In the itunes store on the mac I can now activate a purchased link, and it gives me artist tabs for the music I have bought, but when I activate one of these tabs I can't get to the albums to download them, even with item chooser.
