I don't know if this might work for you but.... go to the top left where it says "Spotify" and hover over to where it says "Offline Mode" and select that. If for any reason your app has "Offline Mode" selected, it will not allow you to open it. Thank me later if this works for you! 🙂
Just wanted to drop in and say that disabling my VPN while starting Spotify solved it for me.
One of the first things I tried actually lol.
Like magic, it's working for the last 3 days though, so I guess it was an issue on Spotify's end.
Thanks, I had the problem again after solving it here a few weeks ago.
This time the fix was proxy-off, but then also my internet had switched to a wifi connection i wasn't aware of. I disconnected that, reseated my ethernet and restarted spotify
This is not a solution. The message is very simple: "Something went wrong. Try reloading the page." Same thing is happening to me, even though I have logged out and back in a rebooted my laptop.
Hi @benena!
You can try clearing the app's preferences by following these steps:
Note that you'll be logged out and your settings will be reset, so you'll have to adjust them again. If you had music downloaded for offline listening, you'll have to re-download it as well. Your library, however, will not be affected, so no worries there.
If possible, try connecting to a different wifi network to see if the issue persists there. You can, for example, create a mobile hotspot from your phone and connect your mac to it.
Let us know how it goes. Cheers!
Yes. i am also getting this.
My Macbook pro went into another network address which does not have internet.
when i open the spotify app to listen to those downloaded music, this page came out.
Set it to OFFLINE mode but this dumb message still pop out.
I can only use the buttons on my touch bar to play the message but that message is really irritating!
Reconnected back to internet to install the app and the same error page came out.
what is the reason for this?
For an app, this is really illogical not to able to open when not connected to internet.
Its is user controlled to be off line. Just pop out once and dont need to repeat the same message again and again.
Offline mode should have a page that shows my downloaded music and NOT this page that keeps on irritating me which this DUMB message.
Reinstall the app, set it back to normal online mode and the message is gone.
But user experience for this app is really 1 out of 10.
Hey @chrischuah!
Could you try the above steps to see if that does the trick? Something else that's worth trying is going to the app's Settings > Proxy Settings and changing the Proxy type to No proxy.
In case the issue persists folks, feel free to send over the following details so we can investigate further:
Keep us posted!
This was the root of the problem for me:
Something about the way my network is set up at work makes Windows think there's no internet. Windows is wrong, and every other application in the world will just try to connect to a website to see if it works, but Spotify decides "Well, this one Windows API seems to think you don't have access to the internet, probably best to just give up and say 'Something Went Wrong'.."
Anyway, I followed the instructions here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/windows-shows-no-internet-access-but-my-intern...
And now Windows says I do have an internet connection and Spotify just works.
For posterity, in case that `answers.microsoft.com` link goes away, here are the fix instructions:
Please try these steps after creating a System Restore point:
1. Press Windows + R keys.
2. Type regedit, click OK.
3. Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\NlaSvc\Parameters\Internet.
4. Make sure following values exist in right pane of Internet:
"ActiveDnsProbeContent"="8.8.4.4"
"ActiveDnsProbeContentV6"="2001:4860:4860::8844"
"ActiveDnsProbeHost"="dns.google"
"ActiveDnsProbeHostV6"="dns.google"
"ActiveWebProbeHostV6"="www.msftconnecttest.com"
"EnableActiveProbing"="1"
5. Restart your Computer or disable/enable your connection and reboot your router.

Dear Developers,
Just a daily reminder to fix your problems before implementing new features!
Thousands of customers can't use your Windows App and this is an issue that already lasts for months!
And a call for everyone who has this issue to give a 1-star rating on the Windows store to make some more pressure since it seems the devs or their bosses can't work without it 🙂
Cheers
Hi.
I can't find that file and that folder you're talking about. I think that maybe is why I'm using an old macOS version (High Sierra 10.13.6). I've already tried to reinstall the app and to log out, and I've switched off my VPN. What should I do? Thank you.

Hey @toni_bitmap!
Does this issue occur only when you try to access the Search menu? Does it occur when you open your Home page or when viewing one of your playlists? It's worth trying with another browser to see if the issue persists there. If possible, try logging in to another account (a friend's or a relative's would do) as well.
In case the issue persists, try clearing your DNS cache by following these steps to see if that does the trick:
Let us know how it goes.
That worked. Thanks!
