HELP! Problem viewing Youtube videos.

Hello,
I am having problems viewing Youtube videos. Everything was great until the other day. I have not changed anything on my computer to create this problem.
Diagnosis:
when viewing videos straight from youtube.com with Safari, it loads and starts to play the video & audio. after the first second the visual video disappears and the audio keeps playing. I can scroll throughout the video, but no picture.
I do not understand, I have updated everything and still same outcome. It was working the other day fine and then boom, no video. WHAT SHOULD I DO?
Thank you for you help,
B

Sounds like a problem with Flash. I'd recommend visiting Adobe's web site and updating to the most current version for OS X.

Problems viewing Youtube videos when Adobe Reader is installed

Hi,
Since I installed Adobe Reader XI there are some issues viewing Youtube videos. The videos stop playing after about 2 seconds, or go back to zero.
First I tried to deactivate all plugins in Firefox (which I normally use; I also tried to play the videos in IE, but that didn't work as well).
Then activated one by one.
I use Windows 8.1 (had the same issue on Windows 8).
I got a Windows message, saying there is a problem with my videocard, from [date].
That same day I installed Adobe Reader XI.
So, I deinstalled it, and everything worked fine again.
Today I installed Adobe Reader XI (11.0.05, Dutch) and yoohoo, back to the same issue again: videos stop after 1 or 2 seconds.
Is this a known Adobe issue?

Well, tried several things.
Used AMDDrivertest (or something like that) to detect whether the most recent drivers for the videocard, which seems to be okay.
Then, tested again (to be sure) if youtube video's played well when Shockwave Flash was deactivated. Yes it did.
So I deinstalled Flash, and rebooted pc.
Then downloaded and installed a quite old version of Shockwave Flash (11.6.8.638) and yes, youtube video's played well. But, then again, of course, the tv-site didn't work, for it needs the newest Flash player.
So, uninstalled the flash again, debooted.
Then, downloaded and installed the Shockwave Flash version as I have on my laptop, which is 11.9.900.170.
And ... youtube vid's did'nt work again.
And... the tv-site does work. :-|
I looked into the processes which could be related to Adobe Reader or Acrobat, (I have Creative Cloud) and stopped all those.
Still no changes.
So, for now, I don't know what else I could do, other than watch youtube only at my laptop :-) (better for my workflow I guess :-)
Could it be something with Creative Cloud? Seems to me it couldnt' for I stopped those processes. I don't use that on my desktop.
Still very strange.
The only thing I can think of theres' some kinda bug in the latest Shockwave versions.
I remember I had the same version as on my laptop installed before this one, then the problem started, and because of that I updated to the 12.0.0 43 version.

Problem Viewing Youtube videos (skipping and stopp...

Hi there,
everytime i go to watch a youtube video the video will do one of a variety of things.
1. The video never plays it will just show the buffering ring
2. Videos that are short i.e. 30 seconds or so will start to play 1 or 2 seconds then skip straight to the end
3. The video plays fine and then pauses repeatedly
4. The video starts to play and somewhere during the video it skips right back to the start and plays from the beginning again.
As you can imagine these problems are persistant and extremely annoying to say the least. I would be very appreciative if anyone could offer any advice to sort these problems out. I have bt Infinity (if that makes any difference)
Cheers

I am having a problem viewing YouTube videos in the latest version of Firefox.

I'm on Firefox 34.0 on a Windows 7 laptop. Up until recently I had no trouble viewing videos on YouTube. I would enter "youtube.com" into the browser address and it would take me to http://youtube.com. But now it takes me to "http://m.youtube.com/?", which appears to be a mobile YouTube viewer. And when I try to open a video there I get this message:
"Firefox doesn't know how to open this address, because one of the following protocols (rtsp) isn't associated with any program or is not allowed in this context."
This just started after the latest version of Firefox uploaded to my computer. Why can't I access the normal Windows version of YouTube anymore?

This problem has been fixed. I rebooted my laptop after clearing my Firefox cache and deleting all cookies. Once my laptop was rebooted, I opened Firefox and now I can access the regular YouTube site, not the mobile site.

Problem viewing YouTube Videos

All of a sudden I'm having difficulties viewing videos on YouTube in particular. Video takes too long to load, frames are jerky, counter keeps going back and forth at the end of the video. Moreover, my Mac is very slow during the process and almost crashes if I try to maximize or minimize window, or work with other applications. The rainbow disc is almost always there. This happens only on YouTube. Could anyone please help?
N.B. I tried uninstalling and re-installing Flash Player. I tried repairing permissions (as they said on a Mac forum). I tried emptying cache and resetting Safari. I tried using TimeMachine to restore to an earlier time. I tried using MacKeeper to empty some space on the memory. I tried opening Safari in 32 bit mode, but it made things worse (videos were cut down to a couple of seconds). Nothing seems to work.
My System:
MacBook Pro 13"
Processor 2.66 GHz
Memory 4 GB
Mac OS X 10.7.4
Safari 5.1.7

Help with viewing youtube videos after update software?

Since ive upgraded my software as prompted by my computer, i havent been able to view 90% of videos,,,, help
Its drivng me nuts, i feel like throwing my macbook through a window... seriously

You mean you aren't crashing?

Let's just say those last updates left a lot to be desired.
Revert your system to backbefore those updates.

Problems viewing CNN videos

Is it only me? With both Firefox and Safari, whenever I view a video on the CNN.com website, it is terrible. It just shutters and the audio is shaky. Even if I wait for the whole video to download before pressing play, I get the same problem. This has been happening for a long time, with many different versions of Firefox, starting in 2.x and still in 3.x. I never have any problems viewing YouTube video or any QuickTime videos, it is ONLY on the CNN.com website. I have contacted them several times (contact us) and complained, but I have never received a reply.
I just want to make sure it isn't my machine. I have a pretty good system with plenty of RAM, etc.
Thanks.

Hello,
I've never had an problems viewing CNN video/audio on Safari 3.1.2 (Tiger 10.4.11).
In Safari, from the Menu Bar, select Help/Installed Plug-Ins and make sure you have the following plugin: Shockwave Flash 9.0 r151 — from file “Flash Player.plugin”. You can do a quick search of plugins by pressing Command + F in that plug in window and type in Flash in the search field. If it's there, it will be highlighed.
If not, go here and download the Safari Flash plugin: http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/
If you already have the Flash plugin, perhaps you need to do some maintenance on your Mac? If you don't have a disk utility to clean out caches, run routine maintenance and cleaning scripts... get Onyx here: http://www.titanium.free.fr/pgs/english.html It's free, easy to download and install and use.
Also, check your available drive space as BDAqua suggested. Right or control click your MacintoshHD icon, then click: Get Info In the Get Info click the black arrow next to General so it faces down. You will see: Capacity and Available. Make sure your Mac has a minimum of 10% free disk space, 15% is better. Not enough disk space and video/audio, applications.. will crash/free... in general, erratic behavior.

I have a macbook pro running snow leopard. Just recently I cannot view youtube videos and other online videos. I recently updated my flashplayer plugin and I believe that is the problem. Is the latest flashplayer plugin compatible with 10.6.8?

I have a macbook pro running snow leopard. Just recently I cannot view youtube videos and other online videos. I recently updated my flashplayer plugin and I believe that is the problem. Is the latest flashplayer plugin compatible with 10.6.8? If this is so, I need to find an older flash player plugin to reinstall. I do not want to upgrade from 10.6.8 at this time because I have 18 yrs. worth of financial records on Quicken that I have read will not work with Lion and I've read bad things about running music programs on Maverick.

1) Quicken 2007 for Intel (Snow Leopard, Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks) is a full featured app that can be downloaded from Intuit for $15 and will work with your data file if you are using Quicken 2005, 2006 or 2007 (if you version is earlier, let me know for more instructions on easy conversion):
http://quicken.intuit.com/personal-finance-software/quicken-2007-osx-lion.jsp
2) Partition your hard drive, or add an external hard drive and install Mavericks there and "dual-boot" to operate your music programs in Snow Leopard and experiment with them in Mavericks.
DO NOT install Mavericks over Snow Leopard!

Error 404 when trying to view youtube videos

Recently when I try to view youtube videos, I get error 404. I updated to version 6.0 tonight and now I get error code 404 and then Fire fox crashes. I send a crash report each time. I tried opening Fire fox in safe mode. That didn't work.

Maybe not as many people reply as you think should because this site doesn't freaking work either!
Took me ten minutes to log in! Kept getting stupid error messages telling me this site is undergoing maintenance. Whatever.
Same exact problem here, but Chrome DOES NOT work. Changing DNS servers DOES NOT work either. It doesn't work for a lot of people.

Problem viewing streaming video in some wifi networks, but not others

When I am at work (university), I can not view YouTube videos or video streaming from news sites such as cnn mobile on my ipod touch 2g.
<m.cnn.com/videos.jsp?ckey-cnn)06#__1_>
When I called Apple support, they had me reset-restore. I still had the problem. I went to the Apple store Genius bar and the problem no longer existed, the videaos downloaded and played from both sites!
But at my diner and at work, I get the message, "This movie could not be played" in a popup box with an OK button. The same message appears if I use the YouTube application. I click on any video, and the same popup appears. In Cnn the popup is preceded by a shaded capital Q that looks like the blue Quicktime Q; in Youtube the pupup is preceded by a YouTube icon in gray with the "Tube" surrounded by the rounded rectangle, their icoon...
At the Apple store the popup never appeared, and the videos downloaded and played.
I have no trouble playing movies I have downloaded from iTunes.
I did not have this problem when I initially got my iPod Touch, and I think it appeared after one of the last two system upgrades, but I am not sure.
I am curious that it the problem happens at two places, my diner and at work.
The speed of my wireless work network, as judged by the ipod app speed test is 9915 kbps download and 6971 kbps upload, so plenty fast.
The first time I noticed this issue was with the application "At Bat Lite" which also won't play video highlights at work.
I do not have WiFi at home
Any thoughts about what would cause this lack of functionality apparantly only at some networks but not others?
Oh, one more piece of data: at work a Macbook will play YouTube both on ethernet and using wifi...
Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions,
Paul

It seems I have two networks available at work, one is behind our firewall, and I login to it. This is the network that I can't view streaming video. There is also a "Guest" network that I don't need to login to. This one works with the YouTube and the news site videos.
Thus, I conclude there is a setting that WiFi network administrators can invoke that specifically can block streaming video on some protocols (whatever the ipod touch uses) and not others (whatever the Macbook uses). But the same router hardware supplying the Guest network does not block these protocols. Presumably this has to do with security on one side of the firewall(?)
Anyway, apparently outside of the WiFi controls available in the ipod touch settings.
Weird...
