I downloaded Shazam onto my Mid-2012 MacBook Pro, and it is running. However, it does not "spring to life" and recognize music at all. The songs I have tried are identified by Shazam on my iPhone, but on my Mac nothing happens.
Anyone else have this same problem or have a fix?
MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Mavericks (10.9.4)
I have the same problem.
Retina, medio 2012
OSX 10.9.4
Microphone on
Shazam doesn't work at all.
Contacted Apple support & the only suggestion they had was to make sure my mic was working. Duh. If they had read my message they would have seen that I had already verified the mic was working. Obviously this is not the problem.
Same for me.
MBPR, late 2013.
Shazam support are very slow in relying to emails. So far, they've asked me if I'm using internal mic (yes) and (today)...
"Do you have any system applications / drivers installed that are designed to boost / alter system-wide audio, EG Boom for Mac? If so, please disable, restart your Mac and restart Shazam".
It hasn't helped me at all, but maybe anyone reading this might find it useful.
I got the same message today; not helpful for me either because I'm not using anything to boost audio, so that's obviously not the problem. Hope they will keep working on it; would be a cool app if it worked.
My Shazam wouldn't work either. I had Soundflower installed on my machine to help pass audio between applications as I sometimes do screen recordings. I uninstalled that Soundflower, and Shazam worked fine for me. It's worth checking to see if you have that, or any other audio app installed, that is interfering with Shazam.
I have this problem too. I can get it to recognize music for a short while by quitting Shazam and then restarting it. It'll work for a few songs and then I have to quit it again. To me this suggests that it's a problem in the Shazam app itself.
I have the same problem.
mid 2012 retina 15 inch
Shazam doesn't work at all. It is in the menu bar and microphone on.But nothing.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.
Same problem here; mid-2012 MacBook Pro Retina; Shazam works on phone, is properly installed on MacBook but no "springing to life" for me either.
Same here but using a Mac Pro 2011. No built in mic but i have a webcam with mic that Sykpe uses fine.
Ditto
I originally had this issue, this may sound simple but a reinstall is all it took to sort this out and it now picks up everything without a hitch.
Yeah, I had Soundflower installed too. Took it off and it worked like a charm. But I kinda liked Soundflower 😕
Hey !
I've had this problem too.
-Delete Shazam,
-Check this procedure : https://support.shazam.com/hc/en-us/articles/204458078-Mac-app-not-getting-resul ts
-Reboot your Mac,
-Reinstall Shazam.
Enjoy 😉
