Not showing up --- how?

• In your iTunes library on your compuer after a sync?
• In your iTunes library on your ocmputer without having done a sync?
• In Store > View Account > Purchase History in iTunes on your computer?

You will need to d/l to the Mac either from the iTS or from a device that has the file.

Is is not an 'automagic' thing.

Why would they?

Do you have Automatic downloads enabled? Note this only works for items purchased after it is enabled.

Also, see this -> Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
