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.

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

What if I take my iPad to the apple store to get it fixed will I lose all my stuff on there
Will I lose all my stuff on my iPad if I'm getting it fixed
Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Apple gives you a refurbished iPad instead of repairing your iPad, so you will lose everything. In order to prevent the lose of data and settings, make a backup of your iPad onto iCloud or iTunes > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Also, make sure you transfer your purchases to your PC or Mac with iTunes before taking it in > http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1848 -

Best way to move to the new account
Thanks in advancNo, all content that you download from the store is tied to the account that downloaded it, it can't be transferred to another account

i know these albums have artwork,as I have gotten artwork previously in older itunes library I had.Perhaps try the "Error 609" section in the Specific Conditions and Alert Messages: (Mac OS X / Windows) section of the following document:

Recently my hard drive crashed. I had to get a new computer. I lost songs on my itouch. Will I lose the pictures on my iphone?
Ihas always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comptuer for just such an occasion.
Use your backup copy to put everything back. -
I have been trying to get album artwork (Advanced Tab -> Get Album Art) and then once it asks me if I'm sure I want to get it, iTunes 'encounters a problem and needs to close'. Anyone know whats going on or how to fix this?
Or another way to fix my library with the album art its missing?Well I don't know what to say about you first problem. However I may be able to help with getting album artwork. When itunes cant find it I usually go to cduniverse.com and search for the album i'm looking for. When you find it just simply copy and paste. Hope that helps.

If I delete an Apple ID from my device (ipad) in order to replace it with another Apple ID, will I lose all the apps/itunes/etc. that are already on the device or will they stay there?
It won't delete anyting, it will only change the ID.

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.
Message was edited by: lunarphoenixSolution posted in another thread worked for most of the files. Guess I will have to manually download the remainder.

I tried to install an itunes update yesterday on my Dell Laptop. I kept getting an error message. Now I cannot access itunes and it says I need to reinstall itunes. Will I lose all of my music?
Installing, and uninstalling, applications never touches or removes the data.
Clean out and uninstall all the apple programs and software thru Programs and manually.
Might want to use Revo and CCleaner
I always use manual standalone installers (and keep a couple backup versions)
itunes 10.5 may affect iTunes media playlists, not sure, depends on what you have.
A search of these forums will show some threads.
I'd clean up vista, you need SP2 or later, and specific error message?
I wonder as you arenot the first with a dell if maybe the OS or included software.
Security programs like Norton and older versions of Kaspersky have been implicated.
Also settings in IE that affect pop-ups and plug-ins. -
keep getting error7 ( windows error 1114) when trying to open i tunes. If i uninstall/reinstall will i lose my library/purchases etc. Sorry not very computer literate so easy instructions appreciated.
See Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates. Your library should be safe, but you ought to back it up anyway.

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. -
Will Get Album Artwork delete manually imported artwork?
I just imported a ton of art manually and would hate it if Get Album Artwork deleted them. Anyone know?
Also, what happens if you manually import artwork and then iTunes later has it in inventory. Will iTunes replace existing manual imports with iTunes art?that was my next question as I'm finding some of the iTunes art not as good as others, and I have found better than they have. Since in these circumstances, since iTunes does have art assoc with my album, I'm wonding if overwriting iTunes will cause iTunes to overwrite me

Items dragged from iTunes go invisible
Suddenly, when I drag songs from iTunes to my desktop or to an external drive, they go invisisble. When I switch the Finder to reveal hidden files, I see the songs there along with a file called .DS_Store which does not appear in the regular Finder.
