Q: Download family member purchased music to my computer

Hey,

 

I've set up family sharing for my family's devices, me acting as the family organizer.

Recently, my sister purchased a music album and I wanted to download this album. As for downloading it to my iPhone, everything was slick but when i tried to get it to my MacBook, iTunes stated that there is no purchased music available to download.

 

Am I missing something?

Thanks you!

MacBook Pro, iOS 8.1.2
