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

  • Error with getting album artwork, will i lose all library if i unistall?

    I appear to have an error (-609) when i try to get album artwork in i tunes. I was thinking about unistalling i tunes and then re installing it. Will this help resolve the error and will it mean i will lose all the albums i have stored in my library. Will i have to reload them all back on again? or can i save them on my pc somewhere before i unistall itunes and then move them back into itunes when i reinstall it?

    Hi Sarah, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Try logging out of the iTunes Store, Quit iTunes...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    Open Itunes, log into the Store, try again.

  • Get Album Artwork doesn't load- the bar stays at zero.

    When I secondary click, and select 'get album artwork', the bar at the top says 'proccessing album artwork' but the progress bar stays at zero. I've left it for almost ten minutes and it doesn't move at all. I restarted my computer and it doesn't help. I am connected to the internet, and the album exists in iTunes. Also, to be clear, I know that I can copy and paste or drag from the internet, but its much easier to just use the 'get album artwork' function. Help, please?

    So if the album isn't available in the iTunes store, it's not recognized? That's ridiculous. That's like saying if I don't buy through iTunes, I shouldn't use iTunes to sync my music to my iPod. That sounds like Apple again following only wherever the dollar goes.
    Windows Media Player uses All Music Guide, which stores everything whether you can buy it through anybody or not. Apple makes great devices, but they're continually pushing me away from them because they put the almighty dollar first and me second. Hopefully Google will integrate their online music service and I won't have to worry about whether an album I can buy just about anywhere won't be recognized by Apple's proprietary dollar-munching service.

  • Get Album Artwork, doesn't work.

    After upgrading to Yosemite and downloading the 12.0.1 update for itunes, I am no long able to download artwork for tracks. Nothing happens when i right-click and press Get Album Artwork. Even tracks I have previously downloaded artwork dont work, if i go delete the artwork for something its gone, i can only add it back manually.

    Same here!

  • Get Album Artwork doesn't recognize mainstream artists

    I ripped my mp3 collection from Audiograbber using Freedb (a free database for album info) and put them onto an external hard drive. I've added the folder to my iTunes music library, but when I try to get album artwork, it says "Could not get artwork for some albums." and lists albums from artists like Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin (48 in total). When I actually go look at each file, it has enough tag information to find the album (title - "Back in the Saddle", artist - "Aerosmith", album - "Rocks", genre - "Hard Rock"... everything it needs).
    What about the file is iTunes not recognizing? Audiograbber uses ID3 tags.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Unknown error (-609) when i try to get album artwork in itunes?

    I have been trying to get album artwork when i upload a cd into itunes, but i keep getting unknown error (-609). Has anyone got any ideas what it is and if so what i can do to get round it? i have been able to get some but now i have this error

    hello,

  • Album artwork doesn't appear in itunes

    I am really stuck. The album artwork doesn't appear when I am downloading my cds onto Itunes. I am on broadband so the album details download but no artwork.
    I have read all the articles and I am using itunes 4.9, I have the preferences 'download album artwork' checked and still it doesn't appear in the bottom left hand box when I am copying my cd's.
    Can anyone help?

    Hi I had this problem, I got round it by ripping in Windows Media Player 10 and letting it download the Album artwork.
    Also when viewing the actual folder that stores your music (eg my music) go into Tolls menu, then select options then select the view tab and uncheck the option 'Hide Operating System files' This lets you view the Album Art image files
    Then add the MP3 files to your library in your itunes. Once in Itunes Select all tunes in an album, right click selct get info ,then double click Artwork box and load the Album art you want.
    Its a pain, but hey you only need to do it once, oh and do not uncheck the Show Album Art option in Itunes, as this may give you an Unkonown Error 50, and then it wont let you rediplay the Artwork, you have to load it all agian.

  • 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.

  • Can't get the ministore to work and can no longer get album artwork!!
