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.

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.

    Same problem on my ipad mini, running ios 6.0.2.
    A bit more info:
    -tried using YouTube in Safari on another ipad. Worked fine.
    Tried reboot (sleep + home buttons for 15 seconds). Didn't fix.
    -tried logging out of my YouTube account, thinking the problem was tied to my settings. Didn't fix.
    -tried uninstalling all apps I downloaded since the last time YouTube worked properly. Didn't fix.
    -tried watching a video in desktop mode. Can tap video screen to bring up pause okay in that mode.
    There are work arounds, but the thing I want to know is why YouTube doesn't work in Safari as of a couple of days ago, and is it indicative of another more serious problem with my ipad.

  • Safari Cannot Load Complete YouTube Videos

    Hello everyone,
    A couple days back, I've been facing the problem with playing back any YouTube videos properly in Safari. All the videos just stop loading a few seconds before the end, and their playback is therefore interrupted prematurely. Now I'd like to note that I already tried to fix the issue using various methods:
    uninstalling the current version of Flash player and installing the latest version provided by Adobe
    clearing Safari's cache
    disabling hardware acceleration in Flash
    disabling HTML5 mode in YouTube
    None of these actions had any effect; the problem persists relentlessly.
    It's quite frustrating: I'm quite new to OS X, as I bought my iMac only a month ago. Through the whole time, however; I really can't say I would ever notice Safari getting YouTube right. The problems with YouTube video playback have been there all the time; the one described above is the only existing one currently, the others having disappeared with the previous version of YouTube's website.
    Any help to be wholeheartedly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Mike

    Quit Safari ...
    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
    Relaunch Safari. Try YouTube.

    Recently downloaded the iOS Update on Ipad and I am unable to stream any videos on any websites which I have done in the past. I cannot watch a youtube video or any videos on instagram or facebook. Can anyone assist?

    Hi ..
    Try a reset.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

  • I am using FF 13.01 and now cannot access any YouTube videos. I tried deleting cookies, deleting history and installed the new Adobe Flash player.

    When opening any video on YouTube, I receive the following notice: "An error occurred. Please try again."
    I installed FF 13.01 by means of the automatic updater.
    Before the update, I was able to access YouTube videos. After the update, I have not.
    Before the update, Chrome was the default browser. I changed this to FF. Since then, I have not been able to view videos through FF.
    Chrome accesses YouTube videos.
    The video showing add-ons within Firefox does work.
    Two add-ons are listed: RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin and Skype Click to Call. Both are disabled.

    There are some compatibility issues between the latest Flash player and some Firefox add-ons or settings. Could you see whether anything in these articles helps:

  • Recently I Have lost the ability to hear the sound in some news, youtube, videos.  THE Sound works on my IPAD, but not for some videos.  Why is this?

    I Recently lost the ability to hear the audio in some news, facebook and youtube videos.  The sound/audio works fine on my iPad.  Why is this?  Is there some way to change or reset settings?  Cookies?

    iOS 8.2 has since fixed this bug. YAY!

    I use Final Cut Pro X to make YouTube videos.  The sound is great when I watch the videos on certain computers, but muffled on others.  How do I fix this?

    You don't. You can't control how other computers or browsers play back the footage.  The best you can do is export a master file that plays great on your computer.  What youTube does with it, or how other computers play it back is out of your hands.
    Just like me with broadcast TV shows.  I deliver the most pristine version I can to the network. But then they convert it to a digital file that they then beam out to cable and satellite providers, who then compress it again to play on their systems. And then it arrives at grandma's house and plays on her TV. I have no control how my grandma receives the signal, nor how her TV is set up.  Unless I am nice and tweak things when I go visit. But I can't do this at every house that might want to watch my show.

  • Can I changed the quality of YouTube videos on the iPad?

    Can I changed the quality of YouTube videos on the iPad? When I watch them on my computer they load fine on the 480p setting, but when using the iPad it always loads 720p, my connection is not fast enough to load 720p at peek hours; as I get throttled. This just ends with the video loading 10 seconds then becoming choppy and stopping, this repeats and a 10 minute video can take almost an hour to watch! This defeats the point of the iPad for me as I have to sit back at my desk to watch YouTube videos, and that being the main point of me buying it - it's kind of an issue for me. Any help or information on this would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

    Yes I am aware that when I connect to YouTube via my mobile data connection it changes the quality. But it makes it so poor it's hardly worth watching, plus I have a 5gb allowance and prefer to save that for when I am on the move. So I assume there is no way to change the quality when on WiFi...

    Have you ever even used skype on an iphone or ipod?  We tried it and there is no way to type to each other while you are video chatting.  You can do the typing during the video on a COMPUTER, but not on an iphone or ipod.

  • Cannot reply to comments on Youtube videos

    Does anyone know why when using your iPad you can no longer post a reply to people who leave you comments on your videos. I can hit the reply button to the comment, type the reply but when I hit post nothing happens. I've hot it several times and it never post. I end up having to log onto my laptop just to reply.
    Thanks for any help.  I am using the new iPad 3rd generation

    You can try these steps in case of issues with web pages:
    You can reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
    *Hold down the Shift key and left-click the Reload button
    *Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
    *Press "Command + Shift + R" (Mac)
    Clear the cache and cookies only from websites that cause problems.
    "Clear the Cache":
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    *Firefox/Tools > Options > Privacy > "Use custom settings for history" > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.
    *Switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window

  • After update to iOS 6.0.1, YouTube videos black in Safari

    I just updated to iOS 6.0.1. I now find that whenever I try to open a YouTube video in Safari, the video is all black, and there are no video controls. Even after waiting a long time nothing appears.  Along the right side of the YouTube webpage, I can see the thumbnails of other videos. But it's the main video that is all black. 
    I've been using this iPad 3 since March 2012, when I originally had iOS 5. Through all the iOS updates, I never had this sort of problem with YouTube videos in Safari. But of course under iOS 5, I viewed YouTube videos mainly in the YouTube video app, which we no longer have an iOS 6.
    This problem only occurs in Safari. I also have the Mercury browser on my iPad, and YouTube videos play perfectly fine in that browser. And yes, I know how to press the home button twice, and then close the Safari app, and then relaunch it. I have done that many times but the problem is not resolved in Safari.
    Furthermore, this problem seems to only afflict YouTube in Safari and not any other video sites such as Vimeo. I can open Vimeo videos in Safari just fine.
    Any advice on how to resolve this YouTube video problem would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    I also restarted my iPad by holding down the Home and Home buttons until the Apple logo appeared.  But YouTube videos are still black, with no controls showing.
    Please help!
