Fitting clothes to M4

Alright, there's probably something obvious I'm missing, but I've been beating my head against the wall for two days and I can't get it to work.

I bought the "hipster" set that is apparently M4 compatible:
http://www.daz3d.com/hipster

Bought the two required products and downloaded everything with the install manager. I then wanted to fit some pieces of the "hipster" set to a character I've been working on.
(M4 base with 'Raphael' morph)
http://www.daz3d.com/men/raphael-for-m4

The hipster outfit didn't show up in the smart content panel, nor did it show up in the regular content library under DAZ Studio formats>My DAZ 3D library> people> Michael 4 > clothing. I double checked the install manager, which said the content was indeed installed, so I went back to the library and was able to find the items under products>H.

I then tried again and again to drag the desired item of clothing to my character. Every time DAZ behaves like it's loading, but the clothing never shows up. I've checked the 'scene' tab and none of the clothing is loading into the scene.
I can load clothing from other sets, but not the ones I just purchased.

Anyway, I apologize if this is something simple, but I've been looking and looking and I can't get it. Any help much appreciated!

    Hipster is an add on texture set for M4 Urban Wear, so you need to add that to your figure first before using Hipster

    Also, if I'm not mistaken Urban Wear does not have metadata yet, so you may need to add it manually before it will show in your Smart Content. As for not showing up in the other location you mentioned, it's because the files are setup for Poser (pre-DAZ Studio) and will appear in the Poser Files area of your content library. I don't think any DS material files have been made for any of the texture sets created for Urban Wear. Look in my signature for Free Video Tutorials and there is one that shows you how to set up metadata on older products

    In the Installed tab in the DIM (DAZ Install Manager) select eh Hipster item that was installed, right click on it, and select 'Show Installed Files', that will tell you what DIM has installed, and more importantly, where it was installed to. These are also clickable links by the way, so you can go straight to the folder.
