I have a MBA with OS X Yosemite. Beginning yesterday, Spotify (which I have had for years with a premium account) stopped connecting to the internet, although I did have a wireless connection and my browser was working fine. Based on the Spotify help pages I performed a clean uninstall of Spotify. Now, I can't reinstall it. When I download Spotify the SpotifyInstaller repeatedly attempts to download the software, and then gives the error "download failed - request timed out". What should I do?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Neither one of those download links worked, unfortunately. I have the same issue of the "downloading Spotify" dialog box remaining open for several minutes, and then returning the "request timed out" error.
I don't think I'm behind a network proxy server. I'm using a personal computer on home wifi and I don't remember setting one up.
I did successfully download the Spotify Beta from the link provided (thank you!) although I'm having trouble getting it to verify my Facebook login.
UPDATE: I restarted my computer a couple of times and was able to download Spotify from the regular installer. No idea what happened, but thanks for the help!
could it be that your firewall (if you have any) blocks spotify?
can you check if it happens with this (1) beta installer also?
Try this download link

Hi!
Are You behind a network proxy server?
Yosemite is broken on that.
