Cannot Reinstall Spotify After it Stopped Working

[gildedrose]

Hi there,

My Spotify was working fine on my Mac...however, I haven't been able to use it in about 3+ weeks. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling. When I download, it always shows up "incomplete" in my "downloads" and, therefore, I am unable to really do anything with the file I just downloaded. I have no idea what the problem is. Perhaps all of this stemmed from the update? Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

You could try using a different browser to download.

Also

Try a clean reinstall by cleaing the cache files of Spotify to see if this fixes the problem:

Advanced method:

Easy method:
Download this free app cleaner. It's super easy.

When you open up the app, search for Spotify and it will automatically find and delete all files on your computer related to Spotify.

I use it all the time and it's a really great tool. If you ever decide to uninstall an app, the best way is to use this tool.

After that, download and reinstall Spotify.

I took your advice and used the appcleaner, then did a reinstall...worked like a charm! thank you so much!
