Installation Failed

Installation Failed

Today the spotify app on my desktop disappeared. I've been trying to reinstall it, but it keeps saying "installation failed" and asking me if I want to download it again. I'm using a mac, OS 10.10.2. Anyone else having this issue?

Yes. I'm on 10.10.3 on my new Mac Book 12" and can't enjoy Spotify either.

Hello

It's extremely disappointing.

 

Please provide a fix.

 

Thanks, Sophia

I am having the exact same issue. My previous version of Spotify won't open and the download which I am being prompted to do fails every time. (I'm on Mac 10.10.2.)

SAME THING! so super frustrating.

exactly the same problem here with OS X 10.9.5

I'm having the same issues. Have uninstalled spotify and followed what they said about deleting cahce etc to no avail Must be something to do with the now OSX update. I wont be updating the iMac now until its resloved, not being able to use spotify on the MacBook is a tad annoying. 

Add me to the list. >:-\

Thanks to everyone who posted replies. Quick update: I tried to download the app again today and suddenly it just worked. Wish I had more info to offer. 

Per another thread if your still encountering this issue you can access the full installer without the need to download additional data from the internet.  This solution worked for me.

 

http://download.spotify.com/Spotify.dmg

thank you so much! Fixed my problem!

Big thanx for this link... It allowed me to install Spotify. I don't understand why Spotify doesn't have a better support to explain how to install it. If it wasn't for this help, I would've let it go...

 

For the record :

install spotify.app get me a message box "can't launch "install spotify.app"" (sorry, not sure this is what you ge on an english mac since I'm french...) on a Mac OS X El Captain 10.11.5.

The link provided by Sparx worked.

Me too, except it stops downloading at "Installing Spotify..." and absolutely does nothing (except drain out my battery for no reason at all).
