Hi there Chicagogreglake,


If your Mac is not authorized to play these songs, they would not be able to be synced to another device. This article has some great information on authorizing this music on your Mac: Authorize or deauthorize your computer for iTunes Store purchases


If this continues after the songs are authorized to play on your iMac, let us know if you use multiple Apple IDs with your Mac so that we can assist further.


Cheers!
