I've been trying to fix this for weeks, uninstalling, reinstalling etc. Watched your video, very simple, followed the instructions and it's working again. Thanks loads !
YES!!!!! THANK YOU! Omg how frustrating. I've been dealing with this for months and have had to use the webpage player for Spotify. Having completely cleaned it off my computer, reinstalled a bunch of times, looked elsewhere online to no avail. What an easy fix. Really appreciate this!
The app hasn’t been doing anything but giving me that screen for the past 3 weeks and I was this close to losing hope, but then I saw your video and did exacctly what you did. Now Spotify is up and running again thanks to you!!!
I had black screens out of the blue for almost 2 weeks and I couldn't figure out why despite deleting the app & reinstalling it countless times, even updated my OS but it was no use. Your vid has solved my problem, thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this video. Spotify was working early and then randomly did this. I could still control it from my phone but couldn’t get it to show up. As soon as I followed your video it came back. Thanks again!!
God Bless you! I have been troubleshooting this for far longer than I would like to admit. Tried opening up the code and tweaking it, redownloading, and just about everything. I feel silly for not checking this. Thank you thank you thank you!
Thank you so so much! I've had this issue consistently for the last couple of weeks. even when deleting the application and reinstalling this was still an issue. thanks so much for helping me solve it!
Thank you SO much! I've gotten the same error every few weeks. Very annoying. Thanks for this video! Man, I wish Spotify took care of this problem for us.
Thank you for this video! I've been having this issue for months and this video was so straight forward. May both sides of your pillow be extra cold! :)
It resolves my issue but every time I close Spotify and try to reopen it the problem is there again. So I have to delete the file everytime again, when opening Spotify. is there any fix?
Mine doesn't reset every single time (typically), but there are certainly still issues that need to be addressed. It isn't a long-term fix, unfortunately. It just gets you in when you otherwise can't.
This works as long as you quit the App or restart your Mac, so actually you have to go through this annoying routine each time you relaunch the Spotify app, at least here on my Mac.
Dear Josh, i have the same problem but on my mac there is no spotify folder under the application support and also prefs file. Do you have any other suggestion? Best
Help!! I have the black screen when I try to open Spotify on my MacBook and I followed the instructions but Spotify does not appear in my library. I have used it on my laptop for years so what has gone wrong please?
It's 2024, and this bug isn't fixed. That's a shame for the Spotify engineering team! Thank you, Josh.
2024, yeah but it wasn't fix for me Josh done the job spotify should give him 5 years free premium
started 2 years ago for me, embarrassing
Life Saver, super simple fix for an annoying problem that spotify should have fixed a long time ago
I've been trying to fix this for weeks, uninstalling, reinstalling etc. Watched your video, very simple, followed the instructions and it's working again. Thanks loads !
Dude, thank you ! I use Spotify every day and this only started this morning. Really did NOT want to re-install, your solution works perfectly :D
you sir are a saint. this issue has been plaguing me for ages and you solved it for me in a minute. Thanks!
YES!!!!! THANK YOU! Omg how frustrating. I've been dealing with this for months and have had to use the webpage player for Spotify. Having completely cleaned it off my computer, reinstalled a bunch of times, looked elsewhere online to no avail. What an easy fix. Really appreciate this!
