Cannot comment in YouTube App

When logged in to YouTube on my Touch the keypad screen remains blank when I try to comment and nothing gets sent when I press send. The rating bar appears to work ok, but again nothing appears to be sent to Youtube. Is this a bug in the iPod Touch YouTube app?

Has anyone else found that the iPod Touch (3G) keyboard doesn't work for the YouTube application?
Is it necessary, or even possible, to re-install the YouTube app. on an iPod Touch?
Oh, and yes, I have tried resetting by holding down both the +on switch+ and the +Home button+ at the same time.

Cannot Comment on YouTube

So after Google decided to implement Google+ into the YouTube comments system, I have decided to go ahead and create the Google+ account. After I have done so, I still cannot post a comment on YouTube. The profile picture that is next to the "Share your thoughts" box does not show my picture. Clicking on the box only created a blank window that popped up for about half a second and then went away, and I still cannot type as if I never clicked on the box at all. I managed to copy the URL that appears in the window, but opening it in a new tab only yields me a blank page.
I have confirmed this is an issue with Firefox because when I go onto IE, YouTube allows me to comment just fine like it is supposed to. I have also tried everything with Firefox including: clearing all the cache and cookies, disabling add-ons, logging off and logging back on, and starting it in safe mode. Everything I tried gave the same result, just a split second blank window whenever I want to comment or post a reply.

Adding those to my exceptions fixed it, thanks. As if I was not mad enough at Google, they seem to want to force tracking you for advertising.

Cannot comment on YouTube videos in the Safari 8.0

     I recently was watching some videos via Safari on my Mac Mini and when I tried to comment or reply to a comment on YouTube all it does is pause for a brief second and then pops up a VERY fast window that immediately goes away. Everything I have tried does not work. Alternatively I use Chrome as well and I can comment fine with that browser but with Safari I get nothing.
     Is there anyone else having this problem or am I the only one? Also and I don't know if this is related, I was recently on YouTube just browsing around my everyday channels and I clicked on a suggested video. I was using Safari 8.0 when this happened as well. When I clicked on the video it seemed to reroute me to some advertisement page about hooking up with girls. I was dumbfounded to be honest because I am VERY security conscious about my browsing and do EVERYTHING by the book when it comes to Safari and safety. Anyway this page seemed like a forced pop-up Malware page that you would get via Windows or something. The page FORCED me to click the "Leave Page" button in order to exit the window and when I did it did indeed take me back to the YouTube page I was trying to access.
     I don't know if these two instances are related but like I said I am very conscious about security and privacy via my Mac. I stay very careful and NEVER EVER thought I would experience this via YouTube on Safari. Let me know if you know anything about the situation or have experienced similar. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Cannot comment on YouTube with Safari

Ever since YouTube updated their design, I've been unable to post a comment (or click on links).
For example, I'm on a Top Gear video now: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7u6yYkTaZU
To post a comment the comment box says 'click here to post comment'. When I click it does nothing.
I also cannot click on reply, share, add to, etc...
Is anyone else facing this issue?
I'm on a maxed out iMac 2010 with fully updated softward and Mountain Lion.
Even ran MacUpdate to update all apps.
I tried clearing out cookies, deleting cache, and removing any plugins.

Just updated to iOS 6, where is my youtube app?????

I Cannot find my YouTube app on my ipad after updating my iPad to ios6. There does not seem to be an app available in the App Store either. What should I do?

Apple dropped this app, but you can get the google Youtube app in the app store.

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.

Please help me. My YouTube app will not work. Every time I open it says 'cannot connect to youtube'. I have searched for help and tried resetting my settings and rebooting my ipad2 but nothing has solved the issue.

Yes, I am connected to the Internet through my wifi. Everything is working fine with the e eption of youtube. I have reset all Internet settings and have tried synching to iTunes followed by rebooting. This is all the advice I have found although none of it has been helpful.
Has anyone else encountered this problem?

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.

YouTube App : Cannot Connect to YouTube

I have had this problem for a while and cannot resolve. There appears to be a fair few people with this issue and no resolution.
A few facts: My ipad is not jailbroken or interfered with in any way, I sync with a Windows PC NOT a Mac, ISP and router are fine, tried YouTube app on other wifi networks and same issue - still receive same error, iTunes works fine on both PC and iPad. I have tried sync multiple times and reboots. Safari can access YouTube web site - some videos do play and some not (i guess this is the flash issue - hence why I want the app to work)
Various other posts mention some sort of 'token' that YouTube may need however I have no idea how to check this or reset it.
Any help appreciated - ideally a step by step fix directly from Apple would be great.

Has anyone found a solution for this? I have the same problem, same situation and tried the same remedies as the OP to no avail. I really don't want to do a restore and lose the photos, notes and data on my phone.

Cannot log into YouTube using iPad app

Ok, I'm stumped. No matter what I try, I cannot log into my YouTube account using the iPad app. I cannot login using the app on my iPhone either. I've tried the application specific password and that didn't work. Anyone have any ideas?

Try a reset. Press & hold the Power and Home buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo. If that does nothing to solve the issue, then it is likely times to restore the iPad to its factory settings.

YouTube app on Apple TV says my account cannot be used with Apple TV. My account worked 2days ago no problem?

Cannot access my YouTube account anymore on YouTube Apple TV app. Worked fine 2 days ago.

Establish a Google+ channel. Then be sure your ATV has the latest update. This worked for me last week.

I have a iphone4 but every time I try to open my youtube app it says Cannot connect to youtube

I have a iphone 4 with IOS 5.1.1 and everytime I try to open my youtube app it keeps saying "Cannont connect to youtube". I want to know why is this since I do have internet connection on my phone. Can someone please help asap.

Hmmmmm the one in my iPhone4 works just fine, for now. But you're right that after the iOS 6 upgrade, the original You Tube icon won't work according to Apple.

Cannot log into YouTube native iPhone app

I have an existing YouTube account, and am able to log into that account via the YouTube website (in Safari and other browsers).
Before upgrading my iPhone 3GS to 3.0.1, I was logged into that same YouTube account via the native iPhone YouTube app. I signed in using the "sign in" button in the upper left corner of the interface.
Since upgrading to 3.0.1, I was no longer logged into YouTube in the app. I am prompted to reenter my YouTube credentials. I enter in the very same username and password that I use on YouTube proper -- those credentials haven't changed since long before I owned an iPhone. For what it's worth, the password only contains characters from a-Z and/or 0-9
When I enter my YouTube credentials on the iPhone, I receive this error: "Authentication Failed. Sorry, your login was incorrect".
I have restored my iPhone and it doesn't fix the problem.

FIXED IT!!! I found this solution on the youtube.com message board.
I have a gmail acct. I went to youtube.com under settings and changed my email address sp that I could link my YT acct to my google acct. Once it was linked, I signed in on my iphone app with just my gmail user name and password. It worked, but what I said in my previous post is no longer true. You tube got wise and the videos they removed no longer work on the phone. I swear they used to. I watched the whole twilight movie last year 10 minutes at a time on my phone from video that had been removed and was unavailable on the full computer site.
This didn't work for me. I have 2 Google accounts. Tried tying them both to my YouTube account. Neither allows me to login on the iPhone app. Anybody else having success with this method?

Cannot log in on Youtube app, despite correct details.

Whenever I try and log into the native Youtube app on my iPhone, it reports 'Authentication Failed" even though the details are 100% correct. Here's what I've done so far:
* Youtube.com accepts my username and password on both the desktop and iPhone web app.
* I've reset my Youtube password
* I get the same results over 3G or wifi (tried multiple networks, incl. Apple Store), so it is not my carrier or ISP blocking Youtube.
* A friend logged in with his account and the iPhone accepted it, so it isn't specific to the iPhone.
* I've used my own account on someone else's iPhone and it didn't work, once again ruling out my iPhone.
* I've 'unlocked' my account using the [Google Captcha page](https://www.google.com/accounts/UnlockCaptcha)
* I've even resorted to creating a new Google/Youtube account
None of these has helped. The only thing I can think of is that the account details are still propagating through Youtube's systems and has not yet came through to the 'iPhone section' of their database. I doubt that this is something that should even happen, but I'm lost as for what I can do.
Normally I would contact Youtube support, but there is no customer support for Youtube! What can I do?

I cannot log into my YouTube account on my old iPod Touch with the old YouTube app

A few days ago i tried to log into the old YouTube app and it said that my information was incorrect. Ive tried all my usernames and passwords and nothing works. I have the old iPod Touch and havent upgraded to the newest operating system. I have tried downloading the new YouTube app with no success due to the old operating system. Ive tried my old username and password before i had to put in my Google info. Nothing has been working. I really dont want to have to buy another iPod just to watch videos because thats the only think i can do with my iPod now. Its in great shape considering its age and no physical damage at all. It just stopped logging me into YouTube and i dont know what to do. If someone could help me resolve my problem id greatly appreciate it.

I have the same problem few days before but solved.
If your google account has set up 2-step verification, switch it off and restart the youtube on your ipad/ipod/iphone devices. then u can log in.
Hope this can solve your problem
