Playlists 'Loading'

Carpediem442 — Thu, 14 Jun 2012 19:00:36 GMT

Never had any issues before but I today created a new playlist on my Mac however it seems to not want to sync to my iPhone with a playlist called 'Loading' appearing. Any help greatly appreciated. Have reinstalled Spotify app on iPhone and cleared cache on Mac.

Exactly the same problem here, deleted app and reset IPad, reinstalled, now 2/3rds of my playlists are still "loading" Also says the playlist is created by a friend from Facebook who doesn't even use Spotify.... I love this app... Please help.

Also happening to me. Been trying for ages to get my playlists synced, but they are either not syncing or stuck on loading. Crazy frustrating.

This must be a new problem today for spotify … I don't think I recently updated the program on my iPhone, but maybe it's something a problem with their network or something… I suppose we just have to wait for fix. :(.

Managed to get the playlists back on the iPad. I cannot say for sure I know how this worked but I will explain what happened. I switched the app into Private Session on the IPad Logged out of Spotify on both the iPhone and the IPad. Logged back into the IPad after leaving it overnight. The playlists were still "Loading..." I clicked on a working playlist then clicked back into a Loading playlist et voila it appeared. Tried this several times and it brought back all the Loading playlists, I don't know if this will work if all your Playlists are loading. I wouldn't like to assume anything but this does seem to stem from the Facebook integration. I find it very strange and worrying that it brought up the name of a non Spotify user from my friend list as the creator of the " Loading " playlists. Hope this helps you.

Update: although I have my playlists back It will not load other people's playlists, only those I have subscribed to.

I have this problem too. It started in the last 6 weeks I think. It only seems to happen on my more recent playlist at the top of the list. The weird thing is that it also affects playlists that are fully synced for offline use. Everytime I open the app from scratch it does this; all the newer playlists have no title and instead they say "Loading...". Older playlists are all fine. Sometimes the newer playlists are not visible at all, and then after some time they start to appear.

I am also using a macbook pro and an iphone.

When I switch to offline mode, NONE of the offline playlists I created in the last 6 weeks are visible at all. This seems to indicate that the config for my more recent playlists is being stored on the spotify server or somehwere else online??! That's not right. It occurred to me that this might be something to do with an apple icloud setting that allows you to "store documents and app data in iCloud". But I turned off that setting in iCloud on the iphone and the problem is still happening. Does anyone have any idea what is causing this?

Also I get this popping up at the smae time, even though I just opened the app and never requested any new offline syncs...

Same problem here. Every time i start Spotify on my iPhone it sais "Loading" on all playlists created in the last 6 weeks or so. And if I don't have any connection or if I am in offline mode, the playlists don't show at all, even if they are synced. Extremely frustrating!

I had this same problem on my iphone 3gs, syncing with a macbook. I recently bought myself an iphone 4s and everything works fine now (still using the same macbook).

I've got a feeling that this is a problem with iphone 3gs's and nothing else...

sorry if this post doesnt help much but i thought id let you guys know, since I know exactly how fustrating this problem can be.

basically the only 'proper' fix I can suggest is to buy a newer iphone.

good luck

Working now, I just left iPhone on for 20 mins. Now I will try on iPad as well.

Cindy_Suz — Sun, 12 Aug 2012 19:22:52 GMT

What do you mean by "left on". ?

I've been keeping it open and it still doesn't work. My playlists aren't even showing at all now.

Reinstalled the app and now it's working again, thanks a lot Meredith, you made my day 🙂

Thanks, my playlists seem to be in working order now.

But, songs still are not playing.

Songs are stopping about 2 minutes in from the radio app, and they aren't even playing at all on the playlist.
