Unknown Error (-609) when attempting to download album art

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 is the happening? Anyone have any clues? I'm on Vista 32 bit with latest version of itunes.

I was able to fix this problem
I used the diagnostic feature in the help menu, turned out itunes wasn't connecting to the internet.
I inputted some proxy settings given to me by my ISP and walah
fixed

  • 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.

  • 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?

    Album artwork could not be found.
    Unknown error was found (-609)

  • Why do I get an error message when attempting to download music into a project in Ellements 13?

    Why do I get an error message when attempting to download music into a project in Ellements 13?

    cornman30
    What computer operating system?
    And, where is the music coming from, iTunes? If so, that is a known problem with Premiere Elements (just about any version).
    The answer has been to convert the iTunes music to the wav version in iTunes.
    The following is the iTunes' document how to.

    Any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
    If other than above, please supply more details to help us help you.
    Thank you.

  • TS3212 I have removed my pop-up blocker completely and still receive the following error message when attempting to download iTunes:  "The file was blocked because it does not have a valid digital signature that verifies its publisher".....any ideas?

    have removed my pop-up blocker completely and still receive the following error message when attempting to download iTunes:  "The file was blocked because it does not have a valid digital signature that verifies its publisher".....any ideas?

    That suggests that the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

    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.

  • Error (-50) when attempting to download purchased music

    I'm getting an error (-50) when trying to download music puchased on iTunes store. The firewall settings are ok. The internet connection is wrking on other applications.

    I am having the SAME PROBLEM and it's driving me NUTS! I couldn't find an answer here so I emailed iTunes support. Here is what they said:
    The error you describe may be caused by the presence of web
    acceleration or firewall software. While the iTunes Store is unable to provide
    technical support, I can recommend that you either test your connection to
    the iTunes Store without the presence of this software or configure
    your system to allow access to the iTunes Store's address.
    However, I'm not sure that is my problem because my computer is new, (I have a macbook), I haven't downloaded any kind of software other than software updates from apple, I use safari, and my roommate has no problem d-loading onto her computer. Also, the album I purchased comes with an interactive booklet and that downloads without a problem. So, I don't know. I just emailed them again and I'll respond to this thread if I get a solution. Otherwise, please let me know if you figure it out!

    Hi,
    From your description, it seems that the address

    Get-recipient | Where {$_.EmailAddresses -match "[email protected]"} | select Identity, DisplayName, RecipientType. The mailbox which is using this address will show up in the result.
    Hope this can be helpful to you.

  • I get the following error message when attempting to download a TV show

    I get the following message when I attempt to download my last TV show purchase. "There was an unknown error downloading your purchased music. An unknown error accurred (0xFFFE7958)." I have succesfully downloaded videos before but am unable to download this one. I have iTunes v6.0.2.23 and have already tried re-installing iTunes and Quicktime.

    There are several threads about the 0xFFFE7958 error. So far there is no answer for the problem. I have contacted iTunes support twice about the problem and other than "we will get back to you..." I have received no support. The best part is that they charged me for this. How about a refund or something?

  • 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.

  • 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.

    After two days waiting to get my educational eligibility verified this is extremely frustrating. Adobe, fix your internal server errors immediately please. I paid for your product and I cannot even get it, this is no way to treat customers.

    What product? For most products you can simply download the trial and activate it with the serial. For anything else you will have to contact support directly.

  • Error -34 when attempting to download purchased video

    Has anyone else noticed this?
    When I use iTunes with a library stored on an afp network drive (hold down Option key while launching), I can not download "purchased" videos. I can buy them just fine, but when they start downloading they immediately stop with an Error #-34: "The disk you are attempting to use if full".
    Of course this is not the case, the disk has over 170GB free! If I quit and launch using a "local" library I can then download and import the video into the network library afterwards. Music and podcasts (even video ones) don't have a problem downloading, and I've even been successful with some of the free "Short" movies. So it seems to be a file size issue.
    Is anyone having success with this? Any ideas?

    I don't have an answer for you, but I am having the same issue.
