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.

  • 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) 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

  • 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.

  • How to get album artwork

    Hi. How can I download album artwork in iTunes? I can't create a store account as I don't have a credit card. Stupid that I can't create an account without a credit card.
    Does someone have a dead itunes account that I can use to get album artwork?

    You don't have to have a credit card, you can buy a iTUnes music card from places like wal mart or use a free itunes code from some promotion off a candy bar, soda bottle, cereal ect ect

  • 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!!

    The ministore is blank at the bottom of my screen and when I try to get album artwork for my music it doesn't do anything. It's been doing this for a long time and I cant find a solution on this website. Someone please help?

    Try sliding the words instead of tapping them.
