Artwork not downloading - iTunes not even trying!

I ripped Ryan Adams's (excellent) album Easy Tiger tonight. When I tried to download the art from the iTunes Store, iTunes thought about it for a little bit, then stopped. I assumed (wrongly) that the album doesn't exist in the iTS. I checked though, and there it is. So I tried again. This time the "Getting Album Artwork" blipped by in a fraction of a second, and I still had no artwork.
Trying it a third time yielded the same result, with iTunes giving NO indication that it was even TRYING to get the artwork. It will refuse to fetch ANY artwork at this point.
Things you might want to know:
MacBook, iTunes 7.5, MacOS 10.4.10. I repaired the permissions and it still does this. The library in question is on an external drive, but this has not been an issue. This is a fresh install of the OS (and I'm sticking with 10.4.10 on purpose) though the library in question is itself rather old. I'll rebuild it if need be. Can anyone tell me how to preserve ratings and playcounts as well as the dates tracks were added to the library?
Many thanks!

The tags for the album may not match exactly what the iTunes Store has — an extra space or capitalized letter can throw it off. If you have an album that you know iTunes can find artwork for, try deleting its existing art and seeing if iTunes will find album art for it again. If it does, you'll know there's something off in your Ryan Adams tags.

    Hi Tamekia,
    I am sorry to hear nothing has worked yet. I have looked up some additional information and possible solutions. Follow the steps in this document to perform a level-three uninstall, register the Windows Installer Service, and then reinstall the HP software. An uninstall and reinstall of the software deletes and overwrites any of the files that might cause the error and resets the Windows Installer. HP recommends that you download the latest software from the HP Web site to remove any files that might be causing this error.

  • Can not download iTunes Match songs on my Mac. iPhone, iPad work fine.

    I can not download iTunes Match songs on my Mac. It gives an error stating that only one Apple ID can be used at a time with iTunes Match and asks me to wait 72 days until I can download any songs!? Tried to turn off iTunes Match in an attempt to reset it. And now I can't turn it back on. Has anyone else experienced this?

    I'm pretty sure the songs will need to be physically present on the computer you are syncing the Nano with, but I'm not 100% sure.
    Edit: I just attempted to sync music that I have stored in the iCloud, but not written on my harddrive to an iPod Classic and it only syncs the music that is present on the computer. I tried to grab a few iCloud file and throw it on the iPod, but I had to download them before it would work.
    So, yes. You do have to have the files already downloaded to sync to a non iOS 5 iDevice.

  • I have an old version of Bonjour and can not download itunes

    I am tring to down load Itunes, on my computer that is running window XP, when down load is almost finish it say error that there is an old version of Bonjor on computer and can not download itunes 11.

    Hello there korteas63,
    I was looking into the issue you are describing and found an article that I think may be helpful for us here. It sounds like we need to remove ALL components of iTunes, and any of its associated services like Bonjour.
    First this article will help you remove iTunes and its services, named Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
    Steps
    1. Remove iTunes and related components from the Control Panel
    Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order. Then, restart your computer.
    iTunes
    QuickTime
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order, or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended effects.
    If you need more detailed steps on removing and these components, refer to the following steps:
    2. Verify iTunes and related components are completely uninstalled In most cases removing iTunes and its related components from the Control Panel will remove all supporting files belonging to those programs.  In some rare cases those files may be left behind. After following the previous steps, you should confirm that the following files and folders have been removed and if any are left behind, remove them now:
    C:\Program Files\Bonjour
    C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\
    C:\Program Files\iTunes\
    C:\Program Files\iPod\     Note: Follow the additional steps at the end of this article if you receive the alert "Cannot delete iPodService.exe: It is being used by another person or program" when trying to delete this folder.
    C:\Program Files\QuickTime\
    C:\Windows\System32\QuickTime
    C:\Windows\System32\QuickTimeVR
    If you aren't sure how to remove these files, you can follow these detailed steps:
    When those steps are completed go ahead and try installing iTunes again. Use this article to troubleshoot installing iTunes if the issue persists, Trouble installing iTunes or QuickTime for Windows from here

  • About an hour ago, I purchased Real Racing 2 from the Mac App Store for $12.99, but since then it has not downloaded one bit, even though I have a stable wifi connection. The money has already been taken from my account as well. What should I do?

  • TS1538 My PC will not download iTunes 10.7.  Nothing happens after clicking on Save File.

    My PC will not download iTunes 10.7. Nothing happens after clicking on Save File.  Do I have to uninstall 10.6.1.7 first?

    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?
