Cannot update spotify for my iOS.5

[eringobraugh008]

I followed the instructions on the 'On which platform can I use Spotify' help guide question, based on a notification that Spotify would no longer be available on my platform in the coming months. I deleted Spotify from my computer and re-downloaded it twice but it gives me the same message. The user support section says to 'Manually delete these folders:

• ~/Library/Caches/com.spotify.Client
• ~/Library/Application Support/Spotify'

I cannot find these folders upon searching for them on my computer. I don't understand why a seemingly simple update is so confusing. Why can't it just allow me to download updates?

Hey! Welcome to the community 🙂 

Firstly, is it the computer you are having issues on? If so, what version of Mac OS X (or other operating system) are you using?

I have a Mac IOS.5. It's saying that it will only be available for iOS.6 in a few months.

I am still not following, would you be able to post the version number like shown on this guide 🙂 ?

10.5.8? Is there more info needed besides that?

Mac OS X 10.5.x is no longer being supported by Spotify, hence why you will be seeing those messages. 

There is a legacy client which won't update any further than the last working version (v0.8.5) for Mac OS X 10.5.x in this post which is your best bet for using Spotify 😉
