  • Can't get album artwork - error 609

    I'm using MBP and iTunes 10.3.1.
    When importing from a CD, I got the track details but not the album artwork. On requesting through menu Advanced I get "Unknown error -609".
    However,  the same CD on Windows+RealPlayer can get all album and track info.
    Any ideas to get the album artwork on MBP+iTunes?
    Thanks

    Btw, I desabled the firewall and it still can't get the artwork.
    The CD is "Queen - A Night At The Opera".

  • Get Album Artwork error code (-609)

    I just recently did a re-install of my Mac Mini. iTunes is up to date with the correct version, imported all my songs from my back up hard drive, however none of the album artwork transferred with the import.
    When I attempt to "Get Album Artwork" I receive an error message: Unable to process album artwork for "insert album name here" could not find, an unknown error occurred (-609).
    I have selected an album I know is on the iTunes store (Aesma Daeva, Here Lies One Whose Name Was Written In Water) and tried to Get Album Artwork for just this album. I receive the same error message.
    What is this error and how can I fix it? Thanks
    EDIT: I just found a similar issue on another thread, trying the solution now.

    Solution posted in another thread worked for most of the files. Guess I will have to manually download the remainder.

  • Album artwork problems (-609)

    Hey, when I try and 'Get Album Artwork', I get the error (-609). I'm trying to get artwork on Calvin Harris, RFTW album. Most other albums work, any suggestions?

    Bump-I also have this problem. I have album artwork on almost all in Itunes on my PC, but most of my music in my MP3 player (Blackberry Curve) doesn't have art. I know in my case, i'm using the software installed on the Blackberry. If there is something better, please let me know. Thx

  • Random album artwork - Error -50

    I only get random album artwork display on my 60 gig iPod. All the artwork displays in iTunes, but only random artwork displays on the iPod.
    I tried unchecking unchecking "Display album art" in iTunes, and the ejecting the iPod, and when ejecting I get the error.
    "An error occured while updating the default player for audio file types. You don't have enough access privlidges for this operation."
    I am the sole user and administrator on this PC.
    When I reconnect and recheck "Display album art", iTunes says "Optimizing artwork for iPod." Then is comes up with the error "The iPod "My iPod" cannot be updated. An unknown error occured (-50)"
    Very frustrating.

    I am having the exact same problem. I have a 30 GB iPod Video, and today I noticed how the album artwork is but randomly displayed on my iPod, though all my albums have their respective artwork, and the artwork shows up in iTunes just fine when going to "Get Info". However, on my iPod, only some artwork showed up, mostly for the albums I had purchased through iTunes.
    I thought I'd try to disable and re-enable album artwork in the iPod preferences, and the disabling did indeed work. However, the re-enabling did not - it attempts to update the iPod saying "Optimizing artwork for iPod", and it gets about half-way there until I get an error message saying, "The iPod 'Sandra's IP' cannot be updated. An unknown error occurred (-50)." So now I have no album artwork whatsoever.
    The iPod software is version 1.1.1 and iTunes version 6.0.5. Any suggestions?

  • Album artwork errors

    I've downloaded hundreds of album artworks into my i-pod - some I saved onto my hard drive, others i just dragged from Amazon, Goggle etc.
    All was fine at first, however, now when I play my ipod much of the artwork shown doesn't correspond with the correct track/album. Indeed, for some tracks, the wrong artwork shows on the 'top' screen and a different piece of artwork shows when I click the centre wheel twice to use the full screen to display the artwork.
    Any ideas why this happens and how I can correct it?
    Many thanks.

    Worked it out now.
    1. Dock ipod in PC.
    2. Click furthest left button in bottom right hand corner. If placing the cursor over the button it states 'Display ipod options'.
    3. Unclick 'Diaply Album artwork' within the ipod page.
    4. Remove ipod then redock.
    5. Click same button and click artwork back on.
    6. Artwork then resyncs.
    It worked for me (from what i can tell so far).

  • Album Artwork Error

    I recently just got a mac and I accidently clicked the "do not show me this message again" when iTunes told me it couldn't find the album artwork, and I was wondering if theres any way to get it to say that again because now I don't know whether or not it's found any artwork.

    Go into Preferences then go to the advanced tab and you will see a button to reset all dialog warnings. Click the reset and you should be back in business.

  • Album Artwork Error Message

    Okay, I have put some artwork on my iTunes, and it didn't show up on my iPod, so I went in and unchecked the "Display Artwork..." and applied that. Then, I went in and rechecked the box, and applied it again. When I did that, a box popped up that said "iPod couldn't sync...unknown error (-50) occurred." Anyone know what that means?

  • 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.

  • Error (-609) what is it? I cant get album artwork for half my library

    i am trying to get album artwork but error (-609) keeps coming up and not allowing me to do so... Any answers??

    - Try contacting iTunes for the password problem:
    Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us
    - For the other problem you can try a reset. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - The next standard thing to do is to download/install a new app but you cant 'do that.
    - Instead, try restoring from backup.

  • Error 609, "Get Album artwork" - doesn't happen

    I haven't had problems with getting album artwork until now. I always make sure the artist and album are properly labeled and nothing else in iTunes is running. I now get error 609, where artwork won't download.

    This solved itself when I upgraded to 10.5.8 and iTunes 9.0.2
