Started importing cd's into itunes last Friday and system was importing artwork from istore just fine. Yesterday, I changed my import location from my c: drive to my i: drive (external hard drive) in order to save storage space. I deleted the previously imported music from my itunes. Now every cd I import gets an itunes error saying: "Artwork for ___ could not be found. An unknown error occurred (-609). Does anyone have any suggestions about how to fix this??? I know these albums are available for sale from itunes. I don't want to have to manually go find the artwork on the internet. Any help would greatly be appreciated! Thanks!

Try to restart your computer and open iTunes again. See if it will ask you for an Apple ID and password then. If not just click on the Ping item next to any listed track and it will prompt you for your password then. Also, sometimes, iTunes is not the best solution for finding missing album artwork, you might want to try some third-party software for finding iTunes artwork like the one described here: http://itunescleanup.wordpress.com/find-missing-itunes-artwork/ Source(s): ? · 5 years ago 3 Thumbs up 0 Thumbs down Comment Add a comment Submit · just now Report Abuse It's a bug with iTunes Try to update the ITunes The problem actually fixed itself with the install of the latest OS update Donna · 7 months ago 0 Thumbs up 0 Thumbs down Comment Add a comment Submit · just now Report Abuse Hi..

I add?When I right-click on the album to get album artwork, sometimes iTunes cannot find the artwork. Even though the album title and artist name are completely correct it can't find it.

Genwei ZagoracWritten 69w agoYou can still copy and paste. This is for PC. I don't think it should be different for Macs. What you do:Find the image on Google. Right click it and Copy it. Open up the Get Info section of a song or whatever it is. Go to the artwork section and add artwork. Then, just paste what you have copied into the thing that displays the file name, if you know what I'm talking about. It's a bar under all the file stuff. If you click on a file, the file name will appear in this bar. I don't know how better to describe it. But paste what you have copied in that. It will show up as a link. Click OK or whatever it wants. iTunes will see the link and download the image and set it as the album artwork. Hope this helped.14.4k Views Keaton Young, I GOT THA POWA!Written 108w agoIs that album itself on iTunes and you were downloading for free elsewhere?
