Can't import from home share with same account

Hi all,


I have this really annoying problem that some of the content of my iTunes library on one computer cannot be imported to the other one, because "this computer is not authorized".


That is, of course, bollocks.


The scenario:

MacMini Server = mac1

Macbook Pro = mac2


- Both machines have itunes signed into the same account

- Both machines have home sharing enabled

- mac2 is the "master", it's where I buy music etc. and mac1 is the machine I use to stream off at home, it's always on etc.


When I purchase anything new, I can transfer those purchases just fine via the import function. However, I have probably about $200 worth of music in the mac2 iTunes which _plays fine_ on mac2, however, it is not transferrable to mac1 due to mac1 not being authorized (but it is).


Is it possible I purchased that music with a different account and somehow managed to authorize mac1 to play it? If so, how can I find out?


Cheers


- Balt
