Spotify Connect not working anymore / "Unknown" method of payment

Hey everybody, I have a problem with Spotify Connect and also my account billing. I hope this is the right section to ask since my problem is cross-platform. First of all these are the devices I use to access the Spotify services:Desktop PC running Windows 8.1 ProNexus 6 running Android 5.1Galaxy S3 running Android 4.4.4(all on the latest official version of Spotify)I have a Spotify Premium Abonnement. So far so good. My major problem is that Spotify Connect isn’t working anymore for me. This problem persists since approximately mid-October 2014 (yeah I was too lazy to post before) after I came back from a trip to Ireland.It used to work all fine before and I could control my desktop client from my phone, but now nothing. The PC doesn’t show up on the phone and the phone doesn’t show up in the desktop client. To clear things up, since the problem exists I have tried a few things to get it working:Uninstalled/reinstalled the app on the phone(s)Uninstalled/reinstalled the windows application (also tried the beta back then which is now the stable release)Further I checked the following:I am definitely on the same WI-FI network (I could also still see my phone on the Devices tab before that feature was removed)I was Premium all the way, not a short period as free user that could have potentially broken the Connect featureAnd yes I’m logged in with the same account on all devicesA (good) side-effect that I think is related to the issue:I can stream (literally stream, not using the offline feature) different tracks on multiple devices at the same time without getting the “Your account is used on another device message” like it used to be before Connect stopped working for me. I shouldn't be able to do this right? Although useful I rather have Spotify Connect backMy (maybe stupid) speculations as to why the problem exists:When I created the account back in 2013 I couldn’t log in for a long time because of system internal conflicts because of the hash at the beginning of my Spotify user name “#moritz”. I contacted the support by e-mail and like after a quarter of the year I could finally log in with my new account. Maybe the hash still causes some problems?Another theory I have or better a curiosity I noticed was, while I was in Ireland my streaming stopped because of somebody else using my account, which is absolutely impossible because the only other device I used back then was my PC which was at home – alone. And of course I never gave anyone else my log-in data. Actually quite a few odd things happened using Spotify on my Ireland trip…My second problem is rather minor and doesn’t affect me negatively. Since I subscribed to Premium back in April 2014 only my first two receipts showed my Credit Card as “Visa”. Since then it says “Unknown” as method of payment. It continued to work and charges my credit card monthly but I still find it a bit strange. I have never changed anything related to my subscription or method of payment. Any ideas why this is? I really hope my first problem can be solved somehow as I’m planning to buy Hi-Fi gear that has Spotify Connect built-in and I really want to be able to control it with my phone.With kind regards,Moritz

thanks for writing back and trying to help :) By now i already got in contact with the Spotify support team and they said they'd be looking into this. hopefully it will be sorted out soon.

  • Hi, my MacBook Air is not working anymore if it's not connected with the power cable. It's pretty new so I can't imagine that the battery is dead already. Why can't I use my MacBook Air without the power cable even though I charged it for hours?

    Disconnect the iPad, do a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is 'appsolutely' safe!, reconnect and follow the prompts.
    If that does not work then see here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • Std 9.0 + Access 2007 + network connection, PDFMaker not working anymore

    Hello,
    when i try to create a PDF file from an Access report, it isn't working anymore when i have a network connection. It worked for months, but yesterday Access 2007 crashed and it asked to deactivate the COM Add-In from PDFMaker and my Co-Worker clicked on yes while i was absent. So even after reactivating the Add-In and reinstalling the whole Acrobat Standard, i can't create any PDFs anymore from Access 2007 while i have a active network connection. When i plug off my network cable, it's working, as soon as i plugin the network cable again, it's not working anymore. And it only happens in Access 2007, PDFMaker in Word, Excel etc is still working fine.
    Anyone got some ideas or solutions?
    Best regards
    Chris

    Can you create a PDF by printing to the printer? It sounds like you may simply need to do a repair to Acrobat.

  • OSX: Connecting to admin session not working anymore since 8.0.12

    Hey
    It seems to me that connecting to console session does not work anymore since the recent update to 8.0.12. Had no troubles before the update, now it does not connect to the console session but a normal one. Please fix this.
    Mac OSX 10.9.5, Apple Remote Desktop 8.0.12
    Cheers, Marcel.

    Hey Dharmesh,
    Thanks for your reply. I mixed up terms. I cannot connect to the "admin session", in my last message I used the term "console session", sorry about that. Connecting works, but it connects normally instead of the admin session. Checkbox
    "Connect to admin sesssion" is active.
    In the logs I found the following message. Not sure it's related to my problem.
    Cheers,

  • Hi there, I have a problem with my iPod Classic (from 2009). Everytime I connect it to my computer (Windows), iTunes does not work anymore. Music is automatically deleted on my iPod. Any suggestions please?

    Hi there, I have a problem with my iPod Classic (from 2009). Everytime I connect it to my computer (Windows), iTunes does not work anymore. Music is automatically deleted on my iPod. Any suggestions please?

    Thanks, for info, iPod Classic is a slower machine compared the Nano, unfortunately, if you read these discussions, majority of the freezes involved iTunes 10. Although if might be just slow and some impatient user just disconnect the iPod ands cause more problems. ( Yes I also did that but safely by doing a iPod Hard Reset, before disconnecting).
    Here is the Apple support article that may help you.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717
    or my usual solution for Windows Users.
    Antivirus has a tendency to freeze iTunes sync Operation with iPod Classic, causing a timeout, which corrupt your iPod filesystem, so when iTunes can't read the iPod, it is pointing to this problem. Other causes is when your iPod hardisk is dying, or your battery is dying causing hardisk crashes.
    My suggestion.
    Connect your iPod to the PC and run chkdsk, to fix any iPod diskerror, then disconnect it, after chkdsk complete.
    Disconnect your PC from Internet. (just to make sure no nasties creep into your system while you syncing.
    Stop the Antivirus program
    Connect your iPod to the PC, using a high speed USB 2.0 port at the back of your PC, do not use any USB Hub.
    When iTunes Open up, Restore your iPod please, this is for iTunes to map correctly, to fix the corrupted filesystem.
    When Restore complete, eject the iPod and reconnect again.
    Sync your ipod, preferably manually Manage in small batches and disconnect after every batch, to check that all is well.
    When all sync is complete, and iPod disconnected, start back your Antivirus and connect back the Internet.
    Good Luck!

  • Bluetooth connectivity pc suite not working anymor...

    After problems with upgrading to pc suite 6.8 i got the advice from Nokia to re install version 6.6.
    The installation of the pc suite 6.6 was successfull and I could synchronise via USB cable DKU-2.
    The bluetooth connectivity is not working anymore. Before the upgrade I had the bluetooth connectivity working (WIDCOMM BT, Belkin dongle) but after re-install version 6.6 I only can select the Bluetooth windows option in the connectivity manager.
    Is there a solution to add the widcomm bluetooth driver again (like it used to work in version 6.5 and 6.) in the pc suite without re-installing the pc suite
    I use the nokia 6680 and pc suite 6.6
    Hope you cuold help me

    The repair did'n work. I've installed the pc suiten on 2 pc's and on 1 pc the bluetooth is working correctly.
    The ssytem info on the working pc is:

    Microsoft Bluetooth-stack
    Versie 5.1.2600.2180
    WIDCOMM Bluetooth-stack

    Thx for yr help

    Hi frisbo1312
    I am in the UK and eventually found the problem was due to my BT Home Hub Router.  Not sure where you live, but of you are in the UK, this might work for you.
    I found this fix below on https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4604180?start=15&tstart=0
    It worked for me.  If you can't link to the URL, here is the body of the text
    There's an issue related to the BT homehub that is providing a hostname that is "syntactically incorrect" for several smtp server.
    Here's how you can fix it.
    Using your internet browser, go to the address "192.168.1.254
    - Follow instructions to reset your password if asked.
    - Then go to "Settings", then "Advanced Settings" and "home network"
    You will see there all the devices that are connected or that has been connected before. It's gonna be easyer if yout computer is the only one connected.
    Your computer should have a name like "unknown-xx:xx:xx:xx:xx ...
    Click on this name, chose another name without any special characters, like "macbook" for exemple.
    And then click on "apply"
    - restart your computer.
    That should fix the issue.
    Credit goes to vincentfromcork for providing me with the solution.

  • Email notifications are not working anymore

    Hi guys,
    I use Grid Control 10.2.0.2 on Windows, and email notifications for critical alerts are not working anymore.
    I didn't change anything to the OMS configuration, it just stopped one day, and when I ask for a test email (in "Setup -> Notifications methods" of in "Preferences") it is successfully delivered.
    I didn't find anything related to this in log files, and nothing that could help here or on metalink.
    Can anyone help about that weird issue ??
    thanks in advance
    Antoine

    Have you gone back over your notification rules?
    have you tried just creating a new notification rule and testing it?
    Also take a look at Note:356774.1. If you've applied any patches (or done partition maintenance) you may have inadvertently lost all your jobs, which will break the email notications.
    If still no joy, then try Note:285093.1.
    let us know how you get on.

  • Both cameras on my iPod touch generation 4 will not work anymore. Is there a way I can send it back to get it fixed? Thank you ..

    Both cameras (front/back) will not work anymore. I would tap on the camera app, and the camera shutters would stay closed for a while and when it finally opens, it leaves a full blank screen. Is there a way I could send it in and get that repaired?

  • After updating my iPod touch 3rd generation to IOS5 some default apps are not working (anymore)

    Hi,
    I updated my iPod touch 3g from IOS 4.x to IOS 5 last week and since then my iPod makes troublle!
    First of all, during the update I did not see any Problems. After the update, I mean the step where the data will be restored to the iPod, I synchronized some APPS at the same time, maybe that was a big mistake. My iPod makes hard resets many times in a loop until it frozes.
    So the only thing I could do here is pressing the home button and the power switch at the same time until it gets rebooted. The sync started again and it looked like everything runs fine.
    As I tried to use iMessage first time I realised the first Problem: I am unable to loginto iMessage with my Apple ID. My Apple ID runs fine, I can by Apps and so on. I also enabled iCloud to see that my Apple ID is ok. But logging into iMessage I put in my Apple credentials and Password, click on next, wait 3 seconds and the screen flips back. So this feature is not working.
    Next issue I see is that randomly my iPod hard resets itself. Even if I don't do anything with my iPod I can see that it resets itself, booting with the apple icon. This happens minimum three times a day... (Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGSEGV), Kern_INVALID_ADDRESSat 0x00000000)
    Today I tried YouTube, an internal Application which I cannot reinstall. It's not working anymore, starting YouTube says: Unable to connect to YouTube!
    I have no clue whats going on here because email and web is working fine.
    In my eyes I would like to reset the whole device to a state before running IOS5 and I would try the update again. But my Question is how to reinstall IOS5?
    If IOS5 will not run smoothly on my iPod, I would prefer to backref to iOS4x.
    Is there anyone who could help me out here?
    Thanks,
    Daniel

    Found the rootcause. The battery was damaged and unable to have enough power to keep the device alive. After changing the device problem is solved.

    Lets start with you helping us by identifying your notebook completely.
    HP has produced and brought to market more than a thousand different models of notebooks and desktop PCs over the years. It is difficult to help you if we don't know which specific model you own..
    Method #1: If the notebook will boot into Windows, you can retrieve your Product Number by pressing Fn + Esc key.
    Method #2:
    Remove the battery and look in the compartment where the battery was installed. You should see a Service tag with printed part number and a product name. Please post the p/n (with all alphanumeric characters) here. If you live outside of North America, it helps us if you post the country of purchase. Also post the installed CPU type. (AMD or Intel)
    Don't forget to post the name of the installed operating system if you haven't already done that.
    If Windows 8 is installed, you can invoke the search charm and  type in the word audio and then on the right hand side of the screen click on Settings.

I called my internet provider and they tried helping me but no luck.They gave me the codes and I tried to set up the PPP address and other codes.
    I am using a DSL cable and a Ethernet connection.
    Does anyone know how I could solve this?
    Thanks!

    Try resetting your iPad:
    Double click the Home button. Slide up with one finger on ALL your apps to close them.
    Then, Press the Sleep/Wake button + Home button and hold 15 seconds or until you see the Apple logo.

  • Mac os 10.4.10 software update problem -- my mac does not work anymore :(

    hello!
    i have a powerbook G4- PPC. just today, i did a software update of my OS to 10.4.10 (it was the available update version according to the automatic uptae) and during the final stage of the installation, it says "a problem was encountered...installation package is moved to trash"
    when i browsed my mac, my apps does not work anymore!!! they just bounce from the dock when i clicked it but it won't open any window. i emptied the trash and restarted my mac but sadly, it just boot but won't continue to the log in part, only in the silver window with the apple logo and mac os x tiger... and the mouse just turns into the color wheel. i waited for 30 mins and nothing happened.
    i don't have a startup disc because the mac is a gift and it was long time ago. is ther a software i can use to fix or revert the changes of the unsuccessful OS update? why is there always a problem when i do OS update? isn't apple software stable?
    My mac problems' driving me crazy!!!

    There are no guarantees, but following this procedure when installing updates and upgrades on your Mac will go a long way towards avoiding unpleasant after effects and ‘post-update stress disorder’.
    It is also worth noting that it is an extreme rarity for updates to cause upsets to your system, but they may well reveal pre-existing ones, particularly those of which you may have been unaware. If you are actually aware of any glitches, make sure they are fixed before proceeding further.
    So before you do anything else:
    If you can, make a full backup first.
    Turn off sleep mode for both screen and hard disk.
    1. Repair Permissions (in Disk Utility)
    2. Verify the state of your hard disk using Disk Utility. If any faults are reported, restart from your install disk (holding down the C key), go to Disk Utility, and repair your startup disk. Restart again to get back to your startup disk.
    At least you can now be reasonably certain that your system does not contain any obvious faults that might cause an update/upgrade to fail.
    3. Download the correct version of the COMBO update from the Apple download site. If your car runs on gasoline you would not want to fill the tank with diesel, so don’t try to install the PPC updater on an Intel Mac!
    If you prefer to download updates via Software Update in the Apple menu (which would ensure that the correct version for your Mac was being downloaded), it is not recommended to allow SU to install major (or even minor) updates automatically. Set Software Update to just download the updater without immediately installing it. There is always the possibility that the combined download and install (which can be a lengthy process) might be interrupted by a power outage or your cat walking across the keyboard, and an interrupted install will almost certainly cause havoc. Once it is downloaded, you can install at a time that suits you. You should make a backup copy of the updater on a CD in case you ever need a reinstall.
    Using the Combo updater ensures that all system files changed since the original 10.4.0 are included, and any that may have been missed out or subsequently damaged will be repaired. The Delta updater, although a temptingly smaller download, only takes you from the previous version to the new one, i.e. for example from 10.4.9 to 10.4.10. Software Update will generally download the Delta updater only. The preferable Combo updater needs to be downloaded from Apple's download site.
    Now proceed as follows:
    4. Close all applications.
    5. Unplug all peripherals except your keyboard and mouse.
    6. Install the update/upgrade. Do not under any circumstances interrupt this procedure. Do not do anything else on your computer while it is installing. Be patient.
    7. When it ask for a restart to complete the installation, click restart. This can take longer than normal, there are probably thousands of files to overwrite and place in the correct location. Do nothing while this is going on.
    8. Once your Mac is awake, repair permissions again, and you should be good to go!
    If your Mac seems slightly sluggish or ‘different’, perform a second restart. It can’t hurt and is sometimes efficacious!
    9. Open a few of your most used applications and check that all is OK. In this connection please remember that not all manufacturers of third party applications and plug-ins, add-ons, haxies etc, will have had time to do any necessary rewrites to their software to make them 10.4.10. compliant. Give them a weeks or two while you regularly check their websites for updates. This applies particularly to plug-ins for Safari 3.
    N.B. Do not attempt to install two different updates at the same time as each may have different routines and requirements. Follow the above recommendations for each update in turn.
    Lastly, Apple's own article on the subject of Software Update may also be useful reading:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106695
