I am unable to play videos on youtube app or in safari ?

Hi,
My son has an ipad mini and for the last year and a half has spent many hours a week watching Minecraft videos on the Youtube app without any problems. About a week ago my son showed me that when trying to play a video via the Youtube app the audio would play fine whereas the video playback is stuttering and completely out of sync with the audio. I thought that it may just be the app so I tried watching a video via safari but it was the same issue. I then thought I would try watching movie trailer from a random website but that wont play smoothly either.
If anyone has any ideas on how to fix this I would be eternally grateful.

I Would start with something simple and easy to do. Close all apps, and reset the iPad, you will not lose any data.
In order to close apps in iOS 7, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

    You can't play movies in iPhoto.  But, you can in quicktime, which is installed along with the OS.  Just double click on the .mov file and quicktme should start.

  • How firefox play video in youtube?

    if not installed flash player, how firefox play video in youtube?

    Unfortunately not all HTML5 videos work in Firefox, so you may still need the Flash player.
    You can find the 32 bit version of the Flash Player installer for a 32 bit Firefox version here (scroll down to Flash Player (32 bit)):

    Did you also update Adobe Flash Player to be compatible w/your new OS? 

  • Safari 5.1 won't play video on YouTube

    I did all of the latest Apple upgrades last night and now Safari 5.1 will not play video on YouTube (get message that a plug-in is missing - it doesn't specify which plug-in). Have the same problem with video on www.Telegraph.co.uk. So, is Apple picking a fight with some commom video format or is this just a bug (and we're the beta test site)?

    @unclepete THANK YOU!! I tried uninstalling 5.1, back to 5.0.5 only to have the same issues. Then back to 5.1 and the issues got even worse, this is after making sure all Internet Plugin's were eliminated and newest flash plugs installed. I was at the end of my rope! Not only was I having problems with Safari not playing videos on YouTube (only would play audio) and other video sites, but some of my pro applications started getting weird on me, saying I had no VRAM (thats a whole other topic!). I made sure I had applejack for SL installed, then did the "Command-S" at startup, went through all 5 steps, and POW!! When I rebooted everything worked, including 5.1 complete with YT video and audio with no weird page refresh issues!!
    APPLEJACK IS THE ANSWER. Everyone needs to try that FIRST, before messing about with the plugs, installs, prefs, etc.

  • Firefox 4 wont load page completely or play videos on youtube after clearing cache

    Firefox 4 wont load page completely or play videos on youtube and ive noticed its always after clearing cache. after a while it will start working properly but its kind of annoying. Know what the problem is?

    oh, there is still a pending issue with youtube unfortunately. I can play videos individually but if I click on a video that is part of a playlist it lags and then goes to a blank space where the video should be. Is that a flash player issue? So, I can play videos individually but not playlists.
    Any word on that would be awesome
    Thanks again

  • While playing videos from YouTube it stops playing on my iPad2

    While playing videos from YouTube it stops playing on my iPad2

    Try to download the application VLC.
    It is a media player that should be able to play any audio or video file you may have. If your videos play flawlessly using that application, then the issue is with iTunes and Quicktime, as they are both essentially similar software types when it comes to playing media.
    In that case you may need to install a plug-in file called Perian, in order for the videos to play correctly within iTunes or at least Quicktime...
