Deauthorize, then Authorize, the Mac:

  1. Deauthorize: the Mac
  2. Log Out: of iTunes
  3. Restart: the Mac
  4. Log Back In: to iTunes


Licensing of iTunes Items:

Note: Items are licensed between Apple and the Studio. So, if they are gone they are gone. You would need to re-purchase these, should they now be back in the studio. That’s just the way it is :(I
