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

  • Itunes album artwork problem on 11.4.0.18

    Recently after the update to iTunes 11.4.0.18 I've noticed my album artwork not displaying correctly for some albums.  They appear jumbled, but only the album thumbnail.  I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, with an AMD processor & 8GB of RAM.
    If you right click on a song in an album that appears to have a jumbled thumbnail, and click on Get Info, the album artwork appears perfectly fine in the summary tab as well as the artwork tab.  I've tried deleting the artwork then choosing get artwork for that particular album.  In most cases this has worked, with a few giving a message that artwork could not be found.  I've tried copying the artwork from the Get Info>Artwork tab, deleting it, then pasting it again and this also seems to take care of the problem when viewing the album thumbnail.  It's just crazy having to do this for each and every album that is displaying a jumbled artwork thumbnail.
    Anyone come across this in v11.4.0.18?  Is there an easier way to fix this thumbnail problem than going through each and every album that seems messed up?

    I can't see your image, but what may work is to delete the folder Album Artwork and then scroll through the entire library in Albums view.

  • 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".

  • ITunes 8: still the same album artwork problem

    hi! it seems that this is still an open question. the problem is that after installing iTunes 7.7.1 some of my (manually added) album artworks dissapeared and cannot fix this because no matter how hard i try i cannot recover the artworks (the same way i did it initially). nothing happens after i try to copy the picture in the field reading 'Drag Album Artwork Here'. and iTunes 8 that i have downloaded and installed just a while ago cannot fix the problem either. any ideas what is going on?
    thanks anyone who would read this and tries to help.

    Okay, I think I've figured a way around this. At least it works for me. It's a bit convoluted, but it works and it's fairly simple. Here goes...
    Select the aiff or aif files in itunes that you want to add album art to, right click and choose "create AIFF Version." This will create a new AIF file in the iTunes folder in your Music folder. Once that is done, this new AIF file will accept album art in iTunes. Just delete the old aiff/aif files and replace with the new aif file created by iTunes. I know it's a little more extra work than should be necessary, but it's a temporary fix until Apple hopefully fixes it without having to do these extra steps. Hope this helps!
    Let me know if this works for anyone else.

  • Album Artwork problems on iTunes

    Please, I need some help here. Here's what I'm trying to to if possible.
    I have many music videos that belong to a certain album (ex. Loose/Nelly Furtado - Say It Right, Promiscous, Maneater) so I would like to assign a general ALBUM ART for all the videos belonging to this album but I would also like to assign different ALBUM ART for each song. Is that possible on iTunes?
    I have had problems with iTunes 7.4.2 as well. I cannot delete ARTWORK so it becomes clear. I hit "GET INFO" and under "ALBUM ARTWORK" I manually delete it then the Coverflow goes blank for a second and the same artwork is back there. I tried to delete whatever is under the iTunes folder but the same thing happens. Any ideas or just a buggy iTunes version.
    Another thing... Coverflow for videos??? Mine doesn't show anything and it doesn't work horizontally.
    Any ideas and comments would be greatly appreciated.

    I tried the unsuncing and re-yncing trick  - did not work for me either.   The album artwork would change, but most of the titles were still wrong.     What I finally had to do was unsync artwork, overwrite old backup with a new one (with app organization, contacts etc, saved, but nothing else)
    Then restore to the factory settings by clicking restore in itunes  -
    After iOS reinstalls from scratch, restore to the backup of your apps and contacts you did before the OS restore. 
    Then try syncing just your playlists to validate, this worked for me.   After that I uploaded the rest of my albums and everything is cool now.
    As for why this happens in the first place, it's likely a corrupting of the music or artwork database of sorts.   Before doing any of the restoration, look in your music directory and clean up any titles of artists with unicode characters, or underscores before the names. 
    I had one album with Japanese characters, and a few others that Itunes prefaces with underscores to avoid duplicate album or artist names.    I suspect somethign like that may play a role in the problem.

  • NEW Album Artwork Problem and MORE!

    Once I puchased a laptop, I attempted to copy the library on my main computer to the laptop. This worked fine. The problrms arose once I synced my Ipod to my new laptop. After I synced it,  alot of the album artwork is not correctly positioned. What I mean by this: the artwork is with the correct songs, etc. but the actual artwork is all whackey. For example, instead of the artwork having the correct, individual sizes, they are in the same black box no matter what the size of the artwork, meaning artwork that is tall and wide is missing the top and bottom with black boxes on the sides.
    That is the best I can explain that.
    Another problem arose when I attempted to update my ipod. I got an error (-43) when I updated it on my laptop. After it failing over and over again, I just moved back my stuff from the laptop to the main computer to update it there. Now after I sync it to the main computer, the album artwork is still garbage and glitchy on my ipod. Moreover, I am still getting the error (-43) message.
    *** itunes?
    So now im thinking, "well, i'm going to have to save my library somewhere else and sync the ipod without a library." What makes me reluctant is if I move my library, which has the album artwork messed up, will it stay like that after the update considering the music is not being updated with it?
    Well, this *****. I have no idea what to do. Why must iTunes have so many problems?

    Well, It updated and synced fine. The album artwork sizes were fixed too!
    But now the artwork looks add like the pixles are not set in properly....
    Oh well.
    Thanks to anyone who read this.

  • Album artwork problem

    So I just got done importing Stadium Arcadium (RHCP) into iTunes (a CD from store, not a copy burnt somewhere else) and when I press cmd+I to edit the info, the lyrics & artwork tabs are inaccessible, meaning that if you press them nothing happens. This is a bit annoying, as I want to add album artwork, so I can see the covers when I'm listening in iTunes or on my iPhone. This is not a problem on any other album, just this one. Anyone know what's wrong? Thanks in advance.

    Converting the songs to AAC did the trick.

  • Album Artwork Problems

    All of my album artwork appears normal and complete in iTunes, but after updating much of it and re-syncing I have issues with how it displays on my iPod Touch (4th generation). Many of the songs display the artwork incorrectly and some albums don't display the artwork unless I jump through some hoops each time. Watch this video I made to see what I mean by that.
    Any suggestions?

    Ugh I have this problem too. When I put songs on my iPod (new or old) and try to add artwork, it doesn't let me on my iTunes and doesn't show up on my iPod. I am getting so irritated, how do I fix it? And also, when I go to my list of artists, it sometimes lists the same person twice. And not because they have a song featuring someone, it will just list the artist twice in a row. I have the newest version of iTunes and the newest software update on my iPod so I don't know what to do...

  • Album artwork problem--can anyone help?

    I have a wierd thing happening with my album artwork. All of the artwork is correct in ITunes, and the artwork appears correct when I hold my Itouch lengthwise. However, when I hold my Itouch vertically (i.e. with the button at the bottom) the album art is messed up. For example, I have an U2 album that only displays the art correctly when I hold it side-to-side. Vertically, the album art is blank when I display the album, and when I play the songs I get a cut screen, top half of which is an old Christmas album I've deleted and the bottom of which is art for a television series that I purchased. What's the deal? Is there any way for me to get my album art displaying correctly?

    I think I have found a solution. Although it is not 100% guarantee it will work, at least it helps keep my artwork stable.
    For PC (I don't have a Mac), right click on the song(s) that causes you problem, convert ID3 tag to version 1.0 (back to basic, eh).
    Then edit the tag (if necessary, and add artwork. If it is not fixed, repeat the process one more time.
    The key is converting the ID3 tag to the most basic version.

  • Album Artwork problems, extra beginning clips to songs...

    Anytime I try to add album artwork to a song or group of songs, the song will add 3 seconds to itself, so it will start, get 3 seconds in, and then start over. And sometimes it will do this and not show the artwork.
    Example, tried to add a picture to Sexyback, kept adding 3 seconds to the beginning of song. This is the latest version of itunes also.
    It seems as though if i just add the artwork to the ipod it doesn't always do this. I've never had this problem before...anyone help?

  • ITunes Missing Album Artwork Problem

    For all the albums that dont have album artwork, the artwork display is messed up, its blue-ish and has distorted parts of other albums in my library, instead of the normal gray, is there any way to fix this?

    I have this same problem. I think it is a rendering issue because the problem disappears when I open fullscreen view for album artwork or use the visualizer.

  • IPOD w/video album artwork problems

    Im having trouble with my Ipod displaying the wrong artwork (the artwork of other albums)when I view the artwork in Itunes its fine yet on my Ipod its somehow different.
    If anyone else has experienced this problem or knows how to fix it please help.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions Siegfried!
    What is the error message?
    Anyhow, if you were getting the chkdsk problem, you will want to restore. That should also help with the artwork problem...

  • OVi Suite Album Artwork Problem

    I have installed Ivi suite 3.0.0.250 and I am aslo running I,Tunes version 10 which stores all my music.. I have changed the music folder option in Ovi Suite to use the  I.Tines folder and aslo instructed Ovi  to watch the I tunes music folder for any new changes.
    Whilst Ovi suite has detected and shows all the music from itunes it has not brought over all the album artwork. this appears to be completly random. There is (as far as i can see) no wayof adding the missing artwork in the ovi suite.The artwork shows perfectly in I Tunes and on my I Pod
    I have deleted all 28000+ tracks once and tried again but it has made no difference.
    I would like to use Ovi rather than itunes to create and sync a playlist to my Nokia C7, but will not do so whilst this problem persists.
    I run windows xp, I Tunes Version 10 and Ovi suite 3.0.0.250

    Hi, i have a C7 and when i downloaded music files to it using Ovi Suite none of the album art appeared on the phone. I replaced a N85 with this phone and on the N85 there is an option to replace the album art with any image.The C7 doesn't seem to have this option. Anyway after trying a few things i still could not get any artwork on the phone so i installed Ovi Player and used this program to download the music to the phone and it worked perfectly with all the proper artwork installed. You could try this program and seeing that you have a lot of music it might be better for you. All the best

  • ITunes Album Artwork Problem. Help?

    I recently installed iTunes onto my new laptop, and the album artwork for all my songs comes out slightly discolored, in that it is a hue of pink. What's even stranger is that the album artwork seen on the bottom left corner shows the artwork in it's right colors. I've tried to calibrate the colors on my screen in my settings, but nothing seems to be working. Oh, and my new laptop is running on Windows 8. Help?
    P.S. Don't mind my choice of music, I was helping my little sister put music on her iPhone :3

    Here's the Apple article on that
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1815
    The important line is "If the data matches, iTunes will download the album artwork".
    What it doesn't say is, "if the Apple database is wrong, you'll get the wrong artwork".
    Try getting the correct cover for +Led Zeppelin I+ - impossible. They had Mothership listed under Lead Zeppelin for a while.
    I agree with the other comment; just get those 40 covers from somewhere else, rather than find out how it is listed in the Apple database.
