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".

Error -609 in itunes 10.4.0.8

Fixed :-) downloaded the lastest version from itunes again http://www.apple.com/uk/itunes/download/ and clicked on repair.
Once completed everything was fine without a restart.

AppleScript error -609 in Automator workflow

I created an AppleScript on one computer and incorporated it in an Automator workflow. The script works perfectly well stand-alone or as part of the workflow.
Then I copied both files to a headless computer via VNC. I adjusted the workflow to look at the new location of the script, and the script itself to look at the new location of the file it's processing. Now, on that second computer, the script works perfectly well by itself, but I get AppleScript error -609 Connection Is Invalid if it's run from the workflow.
For testing purposes I reduced the script to its simplest expression:
tell application "Finder"
end tell
and it's still generating the error.
Strangely, from the workflow the full script does what's it's supposed to, but the workflow stops because of the error. The error appears even if this script is alone in the workflow. Does anybody know what it means?

That error means that the script wasn't able to communicate with the targeted application properly, which can happen if the application crashes while the script is running. If that error doesn't cause any problems, it's appearance can be suppressed:
try
(your code)
on error number -609
end try
This construct will not execute any code on or after the line which produces the error.

Help: error 609

anyone can help?
I used to have a script like:
tell application "Jar Launcher"
open file "file"
end tell
The "file" is a java application.
This script run well in Tiger, but turn out error 609 in Snow Leopard.
To check the java script, I run "java file" in terminal, it works. This means that the apple script is not correct.
Can anyone help me out?

I'm still running Mac OS X 10.5.8 “Leopard”, not yet “Snow Leopard”. Nevertheless, I downloaded [Arachnophilia 5.4|http://www.arachnoid.com/arachnophilia> to my desktop just to test Jar Launcher.
First, I checked that I could open the file “Arachnophilia.jar” just by double clicking on its icon. No problem (Jar Launcher is the default application to open the file).
Then I tried your script… and got an error alert:
*tell application "Jar Launcher"*
*open file "Macintosh HD:Users:pierre:Desktop:Arachnophilia.jar"*
*end tell*
--> AppleScript Error — Jar Launcher got an error: Connection is invalid.
Then I found that I could easily open the application with the following statement :
*tell application "Finder" to open file "Macintosh HD:Users:pierre:Desktop:Arachnophilia.jar"*
I hope this can help.

Unknown error 609 artwork issue

I just finished getting my library moved to my new computer and bam! unknown error 609 and it wont let me get one of the most important things ALBUM ARTWORK!!!
I have read many of forum to no avail.
Any ideas out there?
Thanks

hello,
I am getting the same error message that your getting and would like to know if you have figured out a solution to the problem.

Receiving 'Unknown Error (-609)' when trying to download album artwork.

Hey all. The subject line says it all. When importing tracks from CD or other sources into iTunes, I get Unknown Error (-609) every time. My connection works, and I've only had this problem since updating to the latest version. The last time I had this issue, I updated and everything was fine but I can't update to a later version now.
Does anyone know how to get rid of this issue?

And before it gets suggested, I know full well I can use my internet browser to get artwork and copy/paste it that way. But as I'm in the middle of a stack of roughly 40 discs that I'm uploading, I have no desire to search out all of those album covers if it can be avoided.

Unknown Error (-609)

I keep getting this Unknown Error (-609) since upgrading to the new version of itunes. It pops up eveytime i click download album covers. Can anyone help me fix it?

Did you manage to solve the problem? I have the same issue - today I downloaded a new version of itunes as prompted when I logged in and since then every album I import comes up with the same error message. Does anyone have any ideas how to solve the problem please?

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?

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 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

ICA Download Error 609

After downloading a few images from my Canon S500, I keep getting the above error message for subsequent images. In iPhoto, they simply don't download. On a windows (ug) machine, no probs downloading. Any ideas?
Thanks!

I like laureate would like an intelligent answer to this question.
Until the latest update, of Aperture, I was able to download CR2 RAW files from my Canon EOS 5D. Now, when I attempt to download these file I get the 'ICA Download Error - 609'. If I shoot jpg the files download fine. Also, jpg files from a Nikon Coolpix P4 download fine.
CR2 RAW files are 4 to 6 times larger the the average jpg shot on the EOS 5D (10 -12 meg RAW vs 2- 4 meg jpg). The download seems to time out resulting in the error.
Anyone with an intelligent thought about this?
TIA, Scott

What does error (-609) mean?

Hi,
When I try to download the front cover of the CDs that I have imported, I get a message informing me that the CD cannot be found and that an unknown error (-609) has been produced. What does this error mean? How can download the CD?
Thanks,

There's some info on your error message number in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:
