Purchased Music Playlist not syncing to Mac

Hey I'm using Apple Music and iCloud music library everything is syncing fine to all devices except one particular playlist called Purchased Music.(I did not create this it was created after i chose the merge option within apple music in settings). is there a reason it wont sync to my mac but will to all my iOS devices. All other playlists will that i manually create

Thanks

Well there IS a limit to authorized devices perhaps you have reached the limit OR maybe you have NOT authorized your Mac yet? Here's how you do it....

IF you have run out of authorizations, check your list it may be there are devices you can remove to make room. :)

AH, gotcha, misunderstood. Yes I am missing this playlist from my iMac also, BUT the actual purchased music IS on the computer. I guess this is a mobile only feature?

are you getting this playlist on your mac

I don't have a Mac. But creating my own "purchased" playlist will enable other uses the iTunes version will not do. I don't think that "purchased" playlist was actually intended to be used as such. It's mostly to show you your purchased songs. You can already see those in iTunes on your Mac.
