Missing Purchase button when buying songs in Apple Music on MacBook Pro

I don't seem to be able to purchase songs from Apple Music on my MacBook Pro. I click the price next to a song I want to purchase. That brings up a dialog showing the song, the. amount of the charge, and my account email. However, there is only one option: Cancel. There is no Purchase button–the bottom of the dialog, where the purchase feature used to be located is blank:


What am I missing? FWIW, I can purchase songs using my iPhone.

A restart of my Mac fixed the problem. I earlier tried, without success:


  1. quitting Apple Music and reopening the app;
  2. logging out of my account and logging back in; and
  3. toggling options in settings that related to purchases.
