Can't Get Album Artwork

iTunes isn't letting me get any album artwork and is showing up with a message saying, "*Error -609*."
What do I do, and how do I get artwork (as this is a huge pet-peeve of mine)?

Im absolutly fed up with iTunes. Whats more insulting is that after going through the whole setting up of an account, and not getting any artwork at all, I cant close or cancel my account. If itunes cant do a simple thing like artwork, how can i trust that some glitch wont charge my credit card for stuff i never bought?

I can't get album artwork to show on my iPhone. It downloads when I sync but no show.

I can't get album artwork to show on my iPhone. It downloads when I sync but no show. Am I missing something in setup. My other iPhone shows the artwork. I might be missing something but they appear to be set up the same. The wife's works, mine does not.

ITunes can't get album artwork for songs iTunes has in the store... how do i fix this?

i have a bunch of songs that either have the wrong album artwork or none at all. the weirdest thing is that some of the albums are SOLD on iTunes. in fact, if i highlight one of my songs in iTunes, Ping sees it and shows me the correct cover art. BUT when i click "get album artwork", it tells me it cannot find the artwork. i've tried matching the text (song title, album title, artist, genre) exactly as it is in iTunes, but that doesn't help. it is doing this for about 60 of my albums and i don't know how to fix it. how can i get it to find the artwork?
also... when iTunes finds the WRONG artwork, how can i direct it to the correct one?

Albums, artists and complications must match precisely for iTunes to get a hit. If you have a compilation, chances are you have a 'various artists' for an album artists ... there is a bit of a science to it. I've managed to get most of my 'picky ones' to match. But I have some that just won't - for whatever reason.

How can I get album artwork without using iTunes on the computer?

I used touchcopy to copy the songs off my ipod touch onto my new computer, so i could then load them onto my ipod nano. I have got the songs on the nano, and theyre still on my touch, but there is no album artwork on either. For my nano, i can use iTunes, but the computer my touch is synced to is, well, dead. So, is there a way to get the album artwork back on my touch?
Also, on my nano, it doesnt have any of the artists or album (name) for the songs
Thanks

Hi Wickster,
I have found the following resource that may provide more help:
iTunes 11 for Windows: Add artwork to songs and other items

Additionally, you can instruct iTunes to search and download artwork from the iTunes Store. To do so, click File > Library > Get Album Artwork
Thanks,

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".

After 7.2 can't get album artwork

Since upgrading to iTunes 7.2, I can't fetch album artwork for cds I've ripped but are available from the iTunes Store. Anyone else having this problem?

Im having this problem as well. And to further clarify, itunes is not doanloading all the cover art for tracks ive purchased through itunes. SOme albums has artwork, some do not. For example:
I recently purchased the whole Police catalog through itunes, I do not have artwork for Live!, Syncronicity, Zenyatta Mondatta, or Ghost in the Machine. previous to 7.2, I did, but since rebuilding my itunes libray this artwork will nto download, no matter if I try it manually, or have itunes sett to automatically download it.
Ive noticed as the days go by, itunes will randomly add a piece of artwork here and there for albums that did not previouosly have artwork...b ut its very random, some days I notice an album now has artwork, then a few days goes by and nothing.

I can't get album artwork back in my iPod Touch

I had to resync all my playlists, but now I can no longer see any of the album artwork on my iPod. Does anyone have an idea on how to get it back ? I'm using iTunes 8 and have the latest version of iPod software (2.2 I believe)

Thanks for the reply. I actually got it working soon after I posted my question. It was wierd, I re-synched everything from scratch, and I got the artwork back, but it didn't correspond to any of the tracks. Then I re-synched everything from scratch again...I tried one playlist at a time, and everything seems normal again.

How can I get album artwork to automatically appear with each new episode?

I have a podcast subscription through the iTunes store and I dragged a piece of artwork into the little box that says "Drag Album Artwork Here" since when I tried to right-click and "Download Album Artwork" nothing happened. How do I get that piece of album artwork to automatically appear with each new episode of the podcast that gets downloaded instead of having to click and drag the image from my desktop every time a new episode gets downloaded?
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. It seems like what I'm wanting to do is rather impossible, although I hope the iTunes developers can include such a feature in a later release of the software.

How can I get album artwork to save to SD card so I can upload it to my Audi MMI jukebox

I have all my album artwork in my itunes account. I am trying to transfer the music to a SD card that can be uploaded to my 2014 Audi Q5 which has a Multi Media Interface. I can save up to 3000 songs to the car itself. I can upload the music but the art work will not transfer. Please help. I can see all the album covers in itunes and some transfer but some do not. I read that the files have to be 200kb or less but I do not know how to change the file size of the album art. I also read that they need to be embeded and I have no idea how to do that. Please help!!!!!

Select all songs of a particular album then cmd-I for info. Drag an image to the artwork pane. This will save an embedded image to all songs.
It's tedious but will solve your problem.
Have you ever used a python script? I ended up automating this with mutagen.

Can I get album artwork directly from my iPad?

I know how to get it from iTunes but can I get it directly from my iPad?
Thanks, Lezlie

Although you can't shop for Kindle content directly from the Kindle reading app, you can shop from the Kindle Store using the Safari browser and deliver Kindle titles to the Kindle reading app on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch.

How can I get album artwork from itunes to ipod with manual music managemen

I have chosen to manage music manually since there are four ipods that use the same computer in my home. I recently upgaded to itunes 7 and got my album art updated but can't figure out how to get it to the ipod without syncing the whole thing. Thanks for your help!

Well there is a setting to "manage music manually" so that the sync doesn't happen automatically. That way my wife doesn't have to get the stuff I put on the system, etc. I have to drag and drop new stuff onto my iPod after I rip it into iTunes.
I'd give in and allow the autosync but I have a number of CD's that for some reason iTunes can't "find" even though they're already on the iPod. itunes tells me that if I do the sync the iPod will be erased and rewritten and I'm worried about losing those tunes.
Thanks for the post! Greetings, Copenhagen.

How to get album artwork from amazon

How can I get album artwork from amazon ?

iTunes will only fetch artwork for albums that are on sale in the iTunes Music Store (and sometimes even that doesn't work if the info tags aren't identical). If you have a lot of albums that are older, obscure or simply not licensed for sale in the store iTunes won't add any artwork.
If the artwork isn't available in iTunes you can also add images of your own manually. You'll get information on both methods at this link: iTunes for Windows - Adding artwork to songs and other items
When you can't find the album covers you want from iTunes you can get them from various other sources. I find this site is a good source of artwork which you can copy to your computer: CD/Album Cover Art Search from SlothRadio.
Another place for finding suitable artwork is to go to Amazon. You can also locate artwork using Google image search and put the artist or album name. Locate the album from any of those sources, right click on the image and save it to the desktop, once it's there drag it to the iTunes artwork pane. Once you've added the artwork you can either delete the original file or keep it in a folder somewhere in case you need to use it again. Alternatively there are programs like these that help locate artwork: iTunes Art Importer or MP3 Tag
If you have a scanner you can create your own artwork files by scanning the CD cover itself, this is particularly useful when you are dealing with rare recordings.
