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.

Getting album artwork for CD's

Yo, one more question, I have all my CD's in iTunes. However, none of them have artwork. Is there any good third party software/ way to easily get album artwork for all my CD's thanks!

The best app for adding artworks to hundreds of tracks at a time is iTunify:

It lets you import & export artwork from/to image files on your HD with ease!

Getting Album artwork for my library all at once?

I am new to iTunes/Apple and I was wondering if there was a program or way that I haven't discovered to get all the album artwork for your entire library at once. I have the GimmeSomeTune program and it only does the songs one by one and always pauses the music when it gets to a new song that it hasn't seen yet. Is there a better program I should be using?

Is It posible to get album artwork for podcasts?

Hi ,
I wass wondering is it possible to get album artwork for podcasts and how do you do that?
Thanks for your help,
lizabler

Artwork for podcasts is inserted by the creator of the podcast. You can add artwork to a podcast if it doesn't have it already, but you would have to do this every time you download a new podcast. Highlight the podcast and go to File>Get Info>Artwork tab if you would like to add artwork.

Cant get album artwork

Hi There,
I am using itunes 6.0.4.2 with my ipod Nano and I cant seem to get any Album artwork onto Itunes from anywhere. Please help me find them or tell me where to get it so I can add them to my itunes. I see the space on the bottom of Itunes saying " drag album artwork here" but dont know where to drag it from. When I converted all my wav files to MP3 to switch from Media player to Itunes I lost all the artwork.
Thanks,
Greg

Greg,
You can get album artwork by saving the images from Amazon to your desktop and dragging them to iTunes. You can also find third party utilities for adding artwork.
iCoverArt is one: http://maximized.com/shareware/icoverart/

Getting Album Artwork for songs NOT in iTunes and ONLY on iPod

Hello
Am I missing something obvious here? I am struggling with the album artwork feature for use in the coverflow section of the iPod Classic 80GB. I do NOT keep all of my songs in iTunes as my laptop hard drive is just not big enough.
My problem is that highlighting the songs on my iPod once I've connected it to iTunes then selecting Get Album Artwork simply doesn't work. Only trawling through countless forums on various websites I've discovered that possibly the artwork is only updated for songs you have in the iTunes library or only for songs bought on iTunes. I have 1000s of CDs I've uploaded onto my iPod (surely lots of people do not keep their music in iTunes for the same reason as me - small hard drive?)
There MUST be a software fix for this problem that could be issued out? Or if not, somebody should come up with a fix on an independent website. By the way, all of my tracks on the iPod have had their info obtained from the Gracenotes system used through iTunes so not having matching info to iTunes cannot be a reason for the lack of artwork can it?
I'd love to hear a solution to this problem.
Thanks

My problem is that highlighting the songs on my iPod once I've connected it to iTunes then selecting Get Album Artwork simply doesn't work.
Correct. It's meant to access your iTunes library and add artwork from the iTunes store.
There MUST be a software fix for this problem that could be issued out?
Nothing that I know of because it's meant to work this way.
By the way, all of my tracks on the iPod have had their info obtained from the Gracenotes system used through iTunes so not having matching info to iTunes cannot be a reason for the lack of artwork can it?
No, because as I say, it's meant to add artwork in the iTunes library (although even this can sometimes be an issue if the album info obtained from Gracenote doesn't match what's in the iTunes store.)
If an iPod is set to manage the songs manually, then it's possible to add the artwork to the songs directly onto the iPod (when looking at them through iTunes) without adding it to the songs in iTunes. Just copy paste an album image from (say) Amazon into the artwork box in the bottom left corner when looking at the songs on your iPod through iTunes.
However, I have found that if you are adding artwork directly to the iPod via iTunes and not to songs in the library first of all, then some (or all) artwork may not display correctly.

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.

Having trouble getting album artwork for CDs that ARE in Music Store

I've got about 300 of my own CDs (not purchased through ITMS) on my computer and iTunes 7 only downloaded about 20 covers automatically. I have gone through and made sure all of my albums and artists are spelled correctly as well as putting all of the years of the releases.
I can not get any of the album artwork to download.
Also, the iTunes mini store doesn't open. When I click show mini-store, only a bold line on the bottom of the screen comes up, but the mini store does not open all the way.

When iTunes 7 was first released the iTunes store got swamped by people updating their artwork (like yourself), this meant it would often only manage to do a few albums at a time. In this situation telling it to try again (and again) was the solution.
However by now the number of users hitting the store should be lower and this less of a problem.
Another problem that affects me and others, is that the "Get Album Artwork" command only seems to search the US iTunes store (even if your account is logged in to a different country), this means that at best you might get the wrong artwork, and sometimes no artwork at all. Of course you are apparently in Florida and therefore would want to use the US store and so not be affected by this problem.
I see you have the misfortune to be using Windows XP, and even worse a Dull Inspiron! You might want to check to see if your firewall [you are using a firewall aren't you?] is interfering with iTunes contacting the iTunes store.
Rather than using the "Get Album Artwork" command in the "Advanced" menu, try instead selecting a single album, and right clicking and then selecting "Get Album Artwork" from the pop-up menu.
It might help if you give an example of a problematic album/artist/track name. Also can you confirm the format the track is in? WAV does not support embedded artwork for example.

How To Get Album Artwork for my Songs?

Is there anyway that I can get album art for my songs, I tried the Get Albums from Itunes, but I need an account with a credit card, I have no way of getting that. is there any other ways I can get album pictures other than Doing it manually?

No, you don't need a credit card to start an account. Go get or have someone get you an iTunes giftcard, redeem the card to open your account.

Cant get album artwork! Need help!

So I just bought Senses Fail's new album Life Is Not a Waiting Room and I tried to get the album artwork and it says it could not be found and it's spelt the exact same way as it is on iTunes... Also I just downloaded the new iTunes and I did not have any troubles with any other artwork until I uploaded this cd... So please help me!

For whatever reason, the iTS store database has it listed differently than your tags.
Sometimes just adding a blank space after the Album Name or Artist will make iTunes fetch the artwork.
When Led Zeppelin's Mothership was first released, Apple had it filed under Artist = Lead Zeppelin. It's fixed now, but folks couldn't get the artwork until it was, unless they misspelled their own tags.

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.

Hello, Welcome to Apple Discussions.
Are your songs from Audio CDs or iTunes Store? If not you may need to manually find the album artwork for them as these songs may not be listed in the iTunes Store database for your region.
iTunes: Album art may not download properly
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1815
iTunes will only download album artwork for songs that it can find in the iTunes Store. iTunes will check each song in your iTunes library and attempt to match it up with a song in the iTunes Store. If the data matches, iTunes will download the album artwork from the iTunes Store and add it to the song in your iTunes library. If iTunes does not find a particular song's artwork in the iTunes Store, you will not see an alert message. iTunes simply does not download artwork for that song.
