Itunes error (-609) when attempting to download artwork

I'm receiving the following message when attempting to download album artwork:
Artwork for XXXXXX could not be found. An unknown error occurred (-609)
MY first thought was that it was due to the artwork being unavailable, but i deleted the artwork for an album which i had previously downloaded. When i tried to re-download the artword, same problem. I can download track information, though.
This has occurred since updating to itunes 8.0.1.11
using 64 bit Vista. Never had this problem before...

I installed V8.2.0.23 created a new library. Added one album. Clicked on Get Album Artwork. Got unknown error (-609). Spent hours trauling the web to find a solution. Logging into iTunes store and signing out and restarting iTunes and the PC did NOT fix the problem.
Then I installed V6.2.1.6 only to find I still get the same problem.
Interestingly, if I run the diagnostics from the Help menu it tells me Internet Connection Failed. (which is bollox - because I have been browsing the web for hours to try and find a solution) But I wonder if it is linked.
I can't beleive how naff iTunes is.
Does anyone have a solution that actually works?

Unknown Error (-609) when attempting to download album art

Help! I am attempting to download album art for all my MP3's that I ripped from EAC (and got the ID3 info from freedb). When I try to download the album art in iTunes, I get "Unknown Error occurred (-609)" for all my albums.
Why is the happening? Anyone have any clues? I'm on Vista 32 bit with latest version of itunes.

I was able to fix this problem
I used the diagnostic feature in the help menu, turned out itunes wasn't connecting to the internet.
I inputted some proxy settings given to me by my ISP and walah

Unknown error (-609) when trying to download artwork

Album artwork could not be found.
Unknown error was found (-609)
Only since I downloaded iTunes 11.1.1.11

And before it gets suggested, I know full well I can use my internet browser to get artwork and copy/paste it that way. But as I'm in the middle of a stack of roughly 40 discs that I'm uploading, I have no desire to search out all of those album covers if it can be avoided.

TS3212 I have removed my pop-up blocker completely and still receive the following error message when attempting to download iTunes: "The file was blocked because it does not have a valid digital signature that verifies its publisher".....any ideas?

That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

What computer operating system?
And, where is the music coming from, iTunes? If so, that is a known problem with Premiere Elements (just about any version).
The answer has been to convert the iTunes music to the wav version in iTunes.
The following is the iTunes' document how to.

Any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
If other than above, please supply more details to help us help you.
Thank you.

HT204406 iTunes error 11111 when trying to download matched tracks.

When attempting to download matched music (5 tracks out of 7000+), I receive an error indicating the track is not available for download. I have checked the store and the track is available in teh store and I have managed to download on a a different PC. I want to download to my master library to preserve song counts and playlists.
Has anyone solved this issue?

I found a solution that worked for me in some other posts, delete the song from the cloud, then delete the original from iTunes but select "keep file", update imatch in the store menue, then add the old song. This fixed most of my errors the first time but I had to re-do this on a few songs a second time. Really frustrating. Hopefully now that it all appears to work there will not be any other ssues.

Error (-50) when attempting to download purchased music

I'm getting an error (-50) when trying to download music puchased on iTunes store. The firewall settings are ok. The internet connection is wrking on other applications.

I am having the SAME PROBLEM and it's driving me NUTS! I couldn't find an answer here so I emailed iTunes support. Here is what they said:
The error you describe may be caused by the presence of web
acceleration or firewall software. While the iTunes Store is unable to provide
technical support, I can recommend that you either test your connection to
the iTunes Store without the presence of this software or configure
your system to allow access to the iTunes Store's address.
However, I'm not sure that is my problem because my computer is new, (I have a macbook), I haven't downloaded any kind of software other than software updates from apple, I use safari, and my roommate has no problem d-loading onto her computer. Also, the album I purchased comes with an interactive booklet and that downloads without a problem. So, I don't know. I just emailed them again and I'll respond to this thread if I get a solution. Otherwise, please let me know if you figure it out!

1 - go onto amazon (or google images, whatever floats your boat) and search for the album
2 - save the artwork
3 - locate the artwork in my documents
4 - highlight the enitre album in itunes --> get info
5 - drag the located artwork from my documents into the "artwork" box in the itunes get info screen.

Receiving 'Unknown Error (-609)' when trying to download album artwork.

Hey all. The subject line says it all. When importing tracks from CD or other sources into iTunes, I get Unknown Error (-609) every time. My connection works, and I've only had this problem since updating to the latest version. The last time I had this issue, I updated and everything was fine but I can't update to a later version now.
Does anyone know how to get rid of this issue?

And before it gets suggested, I know full well I can use my internet browser to get artwork and copy/paste it that way. But as I'm in the middle of a stack of roughly 40 discs that I'm uploading, I have no desire to search out all of those album covers if it can be avoided.

Getting error message when attempting to download the beatles box set itunes lp

I am getting an error message when downloading the beatles box set/iTunes lp. States the file isn't there. please advise.

Hi,
   First of all, you have to identify the scheduler server in case you have a multiserver installation.(Server Managr->Options->Server options). Then you have to follow the steps:
1. Go on Scheduler server, open Control Panel->Scheduled Tasks and delete all the jobs starting with DM_<appset>*
2. Run the query into the appset sql db:
    delete from tblSchedule
You can run the steps by application as well(if you have problem only for a specific application):
1. delete all jobs starting with DM_<appset>_<application>*
2. delete from tblSchedule where App='<application>'
Best regards,
Mihaela

I get the following error message when attempting to download a TV show

I get the following message when I attempt to download my last TV show purchase. "There was an unknown error downloading your purchased music. An unknown error accurred (0xFFFE7958)." I have succesfully downloaded videos before but am unable to download this one. I have iTunes v6.0.2.23 and have already tried re-installing iTunes and Quicktime.

There are several threads about the 0xFFFE7958 error. So far there is no answer for the problem. I have contacted iTunes support twice about the problem and other than "we will get back to you..." I have received no support. The best part is that they charged me for this. How about a refund or something?

Error -34 when attempting to download purchased video

Has anyone else noticed this?
When I use iTunes with a library stored on an afp network drive (hold down Option key while launching), I can not download "purchased" videos. I can buy them just fine, but when they start downloading they immediately stop with an Error #-34: "The disk you are attempting to use if full".
Of course this is not the case, the disk has over 170GB free! If I quit and launch using a "local" library I can then download and import the video into the network library afterwards. Music and podcasts (even video ones) don't have a problem downloading, and I've even been successful with some of the free "Short" movies. So it seems to be a file size issue.
Is anyone having success with this? Any ideas?

I don't have an answer for you, but I am having the same issue.

After two days waiting to get my educational eligibility verified this is extremely frustrating. Adobe, fix your internal server errors immediately please. I paid for your product and I cannot even get it, this is no way to treat customers. I am a student and need to use these products NOW.

What product? For most products you can simply download the trial and activate it with the serial. For anything else you will have to contact support directly.

Error message when attempting to download software or restore

receiving error message "the connection could not be established when trying to download latest software"
Also cannot restore device. Followed all instructions on support website and still not working. Help !!!!!

This has solved loads of people who have this issue and have used an alternate DNS setting. Below are instructions for both iPhone OTA and on you Mac
If you are getting the error message "Unable to check for update" when you try an OTA (over the air update)
Change DNS Servers
Settings -> Wi-Fi
Click the blue arrow on your connected network
Delete everything in DNS and replace it with 208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220
Try again
If this works, you will probably want to remove the WiFi network using "Forget This Network" and then reconnect to it to get your original DNS servers back. Alternatively, make a note of the original DNS servers before deleting them and replace it after you are done.
If you are getting the error message "Unable to check for update" when you try through iTunes
On your Mac
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, and then click Network.
Select the network connection service you want to use (such as Wi-Fi or Ethernet, unless you named it something else) from the list, and then click Advanced.
Click DNS, and then click Add at the bottom of the DNS Servers list. Enter the IPv4 address for the DNS server.
You can use OpenDNS
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
or
You can Google Public DNS if you want
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
I have actually repointed my routers DNS so all my devices now point to OpenDNS servers
