This issue only started happening a few days ago but whenever I try to open the Spotify app on my desktop it crashes before it has time to open. Tried opening it with no other applications running but no luck.
I'm running Mac OS Sierra 10.12.6 on a late 2017 Macbook pro. There seemed to be a couple of other threads where this happened but I followed all the suggestions (I listed them below) and nothing has worked.
Would love to solve because I can't listen to Spotify anymore so any help greatly appreciated!
Solutions tried that didn't work:
One:
Two:
Switchting wifi off while opening and then turning on
Three:
System Preferences->Security/Privacy->Privacy->Accessibility->Unlock->Plus sign->Applications->Spotify->Done
Hi there!
I know it sounds simple, but it's often overlooked. Could you try restarting your device? Sorry if this may sound a bit repetitive but if that doesn't help, try a quick clean reinstall of the app by following these steps.
If possible could you try disabling Hardware Acceleration which can be found in the Spotify submenu in your Menu Bar?
Please make sure you have the latest updates installed, the latest macOS version is macOS Mojave 10.14.2 and the latest Spotify version for Mac is 1.0.96
I’d also recommend to create a new user account on your Mac and install Spotify there to see if that helps 🙂
If you're still having trouble, could you let me know the exact version of Spotify and the exact version of the operating system you're running?
I'll see what I can suggest next!
