Why does the YouTube app say playback error every time even when I have wi-fi

When I try playing a video it keep saying playback error even when I have wi-fi on. This has happened a few days ago.

I notice that the WiFi is "white", like all good KitKat icons, instead of White for connected with no internet, and blue for fully functioning.
The 1x right next to it seems very dim.  If I turn off WiFi, the 1x gets bright white, and has the up/down arrows under it.
If having the icon on my status bar all the time means that I actually will get data when I leave WiFi, then it's a winner.
I "hotspot" a lot, and I used to have to make sure I had a data connection and launch the hotspot before I got on a phone call, because the only way to get it to connect was to power cycle the phone.

  • Why does the YouTube app say "Cannot Connect to YouTube" over Wifi or 3G?

    Hi, everyone.
    When I open the YouTube app with Wifi or 3G, it says "Cannot Connect to YouTube."  I've browse a few sites, and the number one response is to reset the router.  I tried resetting the router (Latest Apple AirPort Extreme) to factory default and Restoring the iPad 2 from Backup.  I would believe the router issue to be plausible if 3G worked.  Since YouTube doesn't work over 3G, I don't believe the router is the issue.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thank you.

    Me too, ipad mini can't get YouTube app to function via the official app and the same error message," ...tap to retry", but to no avail. The app launches but it will not allow me to sign in. The drop arrow just tilts up and down and ...nothing. I can still access YouTube through Safari browser but strange, I can't find a solution to the app not opening or being able to sign in on either ipad mini or phone even though they are up to date apps.

  • Why does the map app say it takes 8 hours to travel 25 miles?

    The map app says it takes 8 hours and 17 minutes to drive from Naperville, IL, to Midway Airport.  An alternate route only takes 49 minutes.

    If I selected walking, why would a longer alternate route only take 59 minutes.
    I just got directions for the same route and got reasonable results.  Whatever the problem was it appears to have been corrected.
    Thank you all for your comments.

  • Why does the YouTube app on the iPad Air 2 crash after posting a comment?

    I got a brand new iPad Air 2 about 2 weeks ago, and ever since I started using the YouTube app, I've had a few issues. Every time that I post a comment or reply to a comment, the app crashes. This can be very annoying, especially when it happens in the middle of watching a video. When I re-open the app, I have to go back, find the video I was watching, and find the exact time that I was at before the app crashed. I need to do this every time, and this prevents me from being able to reply to comments or post anything at all. I had the YouTube app on my old iPad 2 which I had for about 4 years before upgrading to the iPad Air 2, and I never had any problems such as this one. I am not sure whether there is something wrong with my iPad, or maybe it could just be a bug within the app, which in that case, the developers would need to fix. Please let me know what you think of this issue, thanks.

    Delete youtube app from iPad and then download it again. Or try clearing out youtube like press home button twice and clear the Q out.

  • Why does the new 61XL say it is for PSC 2510 when it doesn't fit??

    I have just purchased a new ink cartridge for my PSC 2510, and was advised to get the 61XL (I usually use the 56) which lists on the side that it is compatible with the 2510. However I have just tried to intall it but there is no way that I can get it to fit as the two tabs sticking up at the front go all the way to the sides of the cartridge as opposed to having a gap on each side on the old one, and this stops it from going all the way in, so I can close the tab over it... Can somebody tell me how this is supposed to fit or have I just wasted $50 for nothing???

    Hi,
    Sorry you bought a wrong cartridge, it is not compatible with your printer PSC 2510 , it is compatible with HP Deskjet 2510 All-in-One Printer. Please check the following list:
       http://www8.hp.com/au/en/products/oas/product-detail.html?oid=4024150#!tab=compatible_hosts  
    PSC and Deskjet are two different lines of printers.

  • Why do the maps app bookmarks are erased every time I switch to another app?

    I am encountering several problems with the new maps application which are not related to the mapping data itself.
    My problems are:
    Every bookmark I keep dissapears after a while (mostly after I switch to another app, but sometimes it takes a little more switching before the bookmark is gone).
    I cannot access bookmarks when I try to set a route. There is no option to choose a starting/end point from a contact address or bookmark.
    Am I doing something wrong? I could not find any reference in other forums describing this problem and would appreciate any help.
    P.S.
    The first problem I describe was present also for the old maps application on iPhone 4S and iPhone 3.

    Thanks for explaining how app's loss of state can happen. However, I'm sure that the behavior of the four apps I mentioned is much worse than just a few months ago. Something must have changed, and iOS 7 is the main difference. The Kindle app behaves as it used to, but the others do not. Maybe I should note the problem in reviews of the apps themselves in the App Store -- and down rate the apps.

  • Why does the Retina Screen on MBPR2013 make a Weird Flash when I have a External Display via HDMI hooked up?

    I just bought a new 2013 early MACBOOK PRO RETINA.  When i have an external Display hooked up via the HDMI port, I noitce when I wake the computer UP it has a Different type OF QUICK FLASH that comes up than when there is nothing hooked up so I don't know if that makes sense to anyone, but its very disturbing to me, it makes me wonder if there is something wrong with the HDMI PORT ?????   Has anyone else experienced this or knows if this is NORMAL behavior of the new RETINA displays or the HDMI port makes it FLASH weird upon WAKE UP???   I have unplugged the HDMI and when I do the SCREEN comes up normally it just blinks on.  But when HDMI is used its light lightening stike.  Don't know  how else to explain it, maybe i need to do a video and Post a video.

    One more disturbing thing.  When the screen on my MBP goes black and I check the system preferences for "Displays", the MacBook Pro display is not presented as an existing display.  Only the still-functioning Apple 20" Cinema Display. 
    Where did it go??

  • Why does the plug-in checker pop up every time I open fire fox?

    Since yesterday every time I open fire fox the mozilla plug-in checker loads in a tab (in addition to my set home page) . How do I disable this?

    Type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter. <br />
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.''
    Pref = '''plugins.update.notifyUser''' if it shows as True, double-click that pref to toggle it to '''False'''
    ''That pref was new to the Firefox 3.6 version and is present in later versions.''

  • Why does Messages not list message threads by date/time even when selected?

    Every thread in messages list messages out of date/time order even when selected.  How does one correct this or get them in the order I want?  Thanks!! BF

    HI,
    This happened with the Messages Beta as well as the full version in Mountain Lion.
    In both cases if one device was Off line whilst a conversation was going on the sync process when the device was turned on  would not be instant.
    It would fill in (sync) more like an only slightly speeded up chat.
    Consequently  if you were moving from a iPhone conversation to the Mac and turned the Mac On your Contacts new IMs could be mixed up with the Sync info arriving.
    At the same time even though the whole IM sending thing is time stamped there appears to be no way that the App or the iPhone or the Mac can recognise the timing and move them into the right order.
    There seem to be more reports of the Mac being Off and not updating the conversation properly than there are iPhones doing the same.
    That could be done to this area being about the Messages app compared to the iPhone Area.
    It could also be down to the way people hold their conversations in the first place.
    i.e.  we know about it but it is outside our ability to suggest something that fixes this.

  • Why does the solution center prompt for cd every time?

    My HP 8500 constantl;y prompts for me to insert the CD each time I try to scan. I have lost the CD, and just paid $10 to get a new one, but it is very annoying! How do I stop this?

    Hi Tom,
    There is something missing in your Scanning software.
    The Solution Center is like a dog with a bone about missing stuff.
    Something to try/consider:
    See the Solution on this Post - it has the information that might help you correct your Solution Center woes.
    http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printer-All-in-One-Install-Setup/cannot-open-solution-center/m-p/110924...
    If, for some reason, you cannot download new software for your printer as outlined in the above Post,
    and you really do not want to wait for your new CD, then you can Uninstall the Solution Center Software from your computer.  See the warning below.
    Uninstalling your Solution Center:
    BE AWARE: If you elect to uninstall Solution Center to make it stop annoying you...Your printer might still work after you reboot and let the computer try and install some standard drivers - HOWEVER, it will only work with whatever "bare bones" drivers are available on your system.  It might not work at all.  It depends on your Operating system, whether there are enough HP standard drivers for your printer to run the basic printer HP8500 functions, and whether things get tangled up when you uninstall the printer software.  It could go well, or it could become a nightmare and you could be more unhappy than you are right now.
    The very best scenerio:  You find at the Solution Center link a way to download the Full Featured Software for your HP8500 printer and it fixes your scanning error.
    I hope this helps.

  • Why would the fan on my macbook be constantly runs, even when no applications are running.  Why?

    Why would the fan on my MacBook constantly run?  Even when I have no applications running?  Is there a way to determine what is causing this to happen?

    JAWade, try resetting the SMC and pram. Not always, but often those resets help problems like yours. Follow these instructions exactly.
    To reset the SMC
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord.
    Wait fifteen seconds.
    Attach the computer's power cord.
    Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
    Resetting PRAM and NVRAM
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.
