I have also had the same problem. I have only had this problem with the upgrade to the drm free music.

I, too, am in download limbo. I have 78 items waiting to download. I get error (-222), and no help from Apple. This is not my first unresolved issue. I have a few songs I bought a year or so ago, on a previous Mac, that will not play. If I try to play any of them I get a window asking to authorize this Mac to play them. I put in my ID and password, and the box goes away, but the songs still will not play. I get the Authorize box again. I have asked Apple repeatedly about these songs, and have gotten no resolution. They treat me like I am stupid. I know I bought them because they are on my machine, I only have one iTunes ID. This machine is authorized for that account. Something is wrong with the files, not me. I also have some phantom downloads that re-appear each time I start iTunes (When the download purchased items thing was working). These files are from an album I tried to purchase long ago, that never downloaded. After much fussing at that time, Apple removed the album from my account AND the store, and refunded my money. But They still keep trying to download, and displaying multiple error popups that I have to keep dismissing until each song fails. What a pain.

APPLE. FIX THIS ####!!!!

I had issues purchasing an album from UK store, first it said my card
had expired… it hasn’t, and then it kept telling me I couldn’t
download the album with no explanation why. Tried 30 later seemed to work fine, I assumed it was just me.

Won’t be long and iTunes will be gone…just like the iPod- bye bye Apple as Universal Music is dissing on Jobs cuz they are starting Total Music Inc. that will put iTunes & iPods out of business so don’t worry iTunes users, it won’t be long now and you will not be able to download anything from iTunes

@luvwknd Here it is 2011 and iTunes is stronger than ever.

On the other side of this, the problem still exists. :/
