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.

  • Receiving unknown error (-9812) when trying to download songs.

    Each time I try to download or purchase songs, I receive the following message;
    We could not complete your iTunes Store request. An unknown error occured (-9812)
    This has continued for several days now. I have tried running diagnostics - Which informs me that iTunes could not establish a secure connection - and have also followed advice on network and firewall settings. An email sent to me by iTunes support also failed to rectify the problem.
    I currently use Mozilla Firefox as my default browser and saw no change when I reverted back to using Internet Explorer 7. ( However, the problem did occur after installing Mozilla, which is also the only recent installation performed) My iTunes software is also currently up to date.
    I would be grateful if anyone were kind enough to please help me with this issue, it is driving my girlfriend and I crazy. Thank you.

    Having the same problem I tried to use FAQs, apple support and so on without any help.
    Apple is using connections "deep inside" Windows and security certificates to safely connect to the iTunes store. Therefore the normal answer by apple is to refer to network connection problems and the Microsoft support.
    On the german website, apple support even refers to a microsoft service page no more existing.
    The problem is: Apple does not really care if you are having trouble with an Windows connection problem. They suggest to contact Microsoft for support without even stating which security certificates or such are needed.
    The only solution as far as I know is a complete new Windows installation. A new iTunes installation is no help as the user account - if any - is no longer available. I tried this and now can't even listen to my legaly purchased music anymore.
    Sad to realize that excellent sales and good reputation with iTunes and iPod leaves Apple in a position not needing to cope with unhappy customers... There are too many others.

    Help! I am attempting to download album art for all my MP3's that I ripped from EAC (and got the ID3 info from freedb). When I try to download the album art in iTunes, I get "Unknown Error occurred (-609)" for all my albums.

  • Why do I get a message that an unknown error occurred when trying to download a NYTimes cross-word using AcrossLIte, which happens only on Firefox 4?

    With Firefox 3, I had no trouble downloading cross-word puzzles from the NY Times website, using the app. Across Lite. After installing Firefox 4, each attempt to download a puzzle evoked the message that the file could not be opened "because an unknown error occurred" The puzzles can still be downloaded through Safari and Camino, so the problem is probably with Firefox 4.

    Reset IE to defaults.

  • 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?

  • Why is there suddenly an error message when trying to download pdf documents online: "cannot export document"

    Why am I recently receiving an error message when trying to download pdf documents from the web? The message reads: "cannot export document" I've updated Adobe and all software updates are current. The first indication of a problem was when I opened a pdf that I thought downloaded, but the file is blank. Now that doesn't even happen. Any help would be tremendously appreciated! Thank you, KB

    I know man what your saying. I should have written it down when it happened last night. I figured if anyone had had the same issue they might know the reason. I'll try doing a test recording today and see if the same issue arises. Meanwhile, if anyone has this happen to them please let me know. Thanks
