Error 101

Kanonas7 — Thu, 10 May 2012 00:48:30 GMT

I can't log into Spotify, I get "error 101". I've tried the thing written in https://www.spotify.com/se/help/faq/error/error-101-126/ a LOT of times now. Anyone have any other ideas on what I can do? Seems kind of a waste to have Spotify Premium if I can't even log in. 🙂

Are you using any Antivirus software at all? Or running your internet through a Proxy server? Maybe on a university campus?

Ok, which version of Spotify are you currently running? When did you last try a reinstall?

Would it be possible to try logging in over another network? Or a different account on the same network? This would help us determine where the problem lies.

Hey dashed36, welcome to the Community.

Could you try logging in with your account over a different connection, or with a different account over the same connection? That way we should be able to determine where the problem is.

I am also having the e x a c t same problem.
I don't understand what "Logging in onto a new server" means, or whatever it says.
I've uninstalled and re-installed it a hundred times. I've checked my firewall, and that's not the problem. I tried logging in with a different account but that doesn't help either.
Someone please help, I hate not having my music /:

I am also having the same problem. Spotify works fine on my adroid phone but I can no longer log in on my home computer because of this 101 error. I have checked my firewall....that's not the issue. I have uninstalled/reinstalled....no change. I'm not using a proxy server....so that's not it either. HELP!

I have this problem, too it's been months and months now, longer than I can remember. Spotify has always been allowed through my firewall, but I blocked it and let it through again to no avail.

I have re-installed many many times with no luck, and as far as I know, I'm not running through a proxy.
However, I can log into Spotify through my phone with my account.

Hi,

I am also getting this same error message and have been for the last two/three weeks. I looked at my firewall options, set Spotify as an allowed program, reinstalled Spotify, still didn't fix it. Also, my Android phone won't connect. And I can't connect through other wireless networks either! Please help, otherwise I'm gonna stop paying for what was once the BEST music service I knew! Thanks,

Riley

Clubbrb - Very strange! It sounds like you've tried most of the early troubleshooting tips. Has anything drastically changed on either device that might have caused this to happen? Installation of a new application, update to a Anti-Virus program, so on?
