  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Itunes error (-609) when attempting to download artwork

    I'm receiving the following message when attempting to download album artwork:
    Artwork for XXXXXX could not be found. An unknown error occurred (-609)
    MY first thought was that it was due to the artwork being unavailable, but i deleted the artwork for an album which i had previously downloaded. When i tried to re-download the artword, same problem. I can download track information, though.
    This has occurred since updating to itunes 8.0.1.11
    using 64 bit Vista. Never had this problem before...

    I installed V8.2.0.23 created a new library. Added one album. Clicked on Get Album Artwork. Got unknown error (-609). Spent hours trauling the web to find a solution. Logging into iTunes store and signing out and restarting iTunes and the PC did NOT fix the problem.
    Then I installed V6.2.1.6 only to find I still get the same problem.
    Interestingly, if I run the diagnostics from the Help menu it tells me Internet Connection Failed. (which is bollox - because I have been browsing the web for hours to try and find a solution) But I wonder if it is linked.
    I can't beleive how naff iTunes is.
    Does anyone have a solution that actually works?

  • When I "Get Album Artwork", iTunes always returns a result that artwork for one song could not be found; but the song is not in my library.

    When I "Get Album Artwork" in  iTunes 10.4.0.80 running under Windows 7, iTunes can find the missing artwork requested.  But it also returns the same result, "Artwork for "Aught 7 - Mother Chorizo" could not be found.  The problem is I do not have the song or any song from Aught 7 in my music library.  I'm guessing this is an issue with a corrupted iTunes database.  Can someone tell me how to correct this issue?
    Thanks in advance.

    1. delete this songs from your liblary
    2. go File -> Add File to Liblary... (Ctrl+O) or File -> Add Folder to Liblary

  • Can't get all how to get album artwork when all help options didn't work

    help - how do I get album artwork when all itunes help options didn't work

    Other is usually around 1 GB...
    A  ' Large Other ' usually indicates Corrupt Data...
    First Try a Restore from Backup... But... if the Large Other Persists, that is an Indicator of Corrupt Data in the Backup... Then a Restore as New is the way to go...

  • 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.
