Cannot Connect to YouTube on WiFi or the EDGE network.

On one of my iPhones I get the message:
"Cannot Connect to YouTube"
I've been having this problem since Friday, 6/29/07. The YouTube Icon has never worked on my problem phone.
I have 2 iPhones on the same AT&T account.
One works the other does not - any reason when I tap the YouTube icon I get the message "Cannot Connect to YouTube"?
I have tried this on the EDGE and WiFi networks.
The Stocks, Weather and Safari work fine.

SOLUTION:
The solution for my issue was to run a RESTORE on the iphone. I first confirmed that my iphone BACKUP was current. I did the aforementioned per the Apple representative. It took about 20 minutes.

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.

Dreaded "cannot connect to youtube" but only over WiFi. Twitterific bad to

Okay, so here's the deal... for some reason on my home WiFi, my iPhone (and my wife's) suddenly isn't working right.
I get the "cannot connect to YouTube" error in the YouTube app. I get a "Twitter API Error - the connection to Twitter failed with 'can't find host'" error in Twitterific. Scrabble won't let me connect to Facebook. I can only assume there are other problems as well.
Here's the deal - it's only happening while connected to WiFi. I turn it off and use 3G, and it all works fine. Thing is, I want to use my WiFi connection. Any thoughts on why this suddenly started happening? Worked fine yesterday. I've reset both my DSL modem and my wireless router to no avail. Nothing has changed since then.
(My DSL is through Embarq)
Any thoughts?

Oh yeah, forgot to mention that most everything else is working fine on it. My email is coming through, and regular Safari stuff is working.

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?

Has anyone solved the notorious "Cannot Connect to Youtube" Error?

Whenever I open the Youtube app I get "Cannot connect to Youtube" no matter what why network I'm on no matter how I'm connected. EVERYTHING else on the phone works perfectly.
Even the youtube website works fine via safari but the videos WILL NOT PLAY.
I have tried all the hit or miss speculative solutions that people claim work for them:
*Change the date past the year 2030 and then back again.
*Hard reset the phone
*Power on power off
*Reset network settings
*Full reset of settings
*Trying different networks
*Connecting to the computer and synching the phone and the apps
None of these work. Some people claim success with one or more of the different methods above but it doesn't work for me and many others. This issue has been going on for a LONG time and it is WIDESPREAD (just search this forum or the internet at large via google and you will see). It spans across multiple devices (iPhone and iPod Touch alike) and multiple software versions across multiple generations of the devices. I find it appalling that Apple is silent on this gaping bug.
Does anyone have a solution? Does anyone know how to get Apple to DO SOMETHING?
Thanks.

Are you senior executives in Apple's cost cutting in the customer service and quality control department or what?
+If it works fine on your friends iPhones when they come over it does not sound like a bug, it sounds like a problem with your iPhone.+
It IS a problem with my iPhone. Anything that causes one of the built in operating applications to fail frequently under normal use whether or not it happens on every device consistently is absolutely by definition a bug.
+Explain why the alleged bug is not on every iPhone then ? This is the bit that you fail to explain in every post you make.+
It may not be on every phone but it definitely is on MANY, what triggers it is unknown. Microsoft releases hundreds if not thousands of bug fixes every year. Why don't all the HUNDREDS of millions of Windows users all experience every single bug? By your logic none of these bugs exists because every single user doesn't experience them. I can't remember the last time I personally experienced one of the bugs that all these mountains of bug fixes I download through windows update automatically correct so I guess none of those bugs actually exist.
+I have read a lot more articles by people who think the world is flat and that means nothing. There are 10 million odd iPhones, 50 people isn't a conclusive fault. explain why 9,999,950 of them appear to work fine?+
There are thousands of people with this problem. With a problem like this a person with even shred of intellect would read a few posts from a few different sources and come to an informed conclusion on the issue rather than dedicate the next six months of their life to reading every single thing ever written about it. Once you see the pattern is exactly the same even in 10 plus posts and it's obvious there are THOUSANDS more you can conclude it's not an isolated incident.
+Thats hardly conclusive - there are youtube video's on how to make an egg custard but that doesn't mean nobody can make one without instruction, or that all egg custards made are defective somehow.+
Inappropriate and just flat out wrong analogy. If there was a "how to make custard when it fails in a specific way consistently" then your analogy would be appropriate. The "how to FIX x" youtube video is not analogous to "how to use your iphone" or "how to do x." In any event comparing egg custard to an iphone is clearly apples to oranges - or more like apples to nuclear reactors.
+Don't bother quoting Google Stats - you can get hits on every search string you put in, and one post gets copied again and again and comes up as multiple hits.+
Really? I had no idea google one of the most successful companies in the world had such a faulty and defective search engine that it gives phony results. Have you told them? Maybe they will hire you to fix it.
You may get SOME hits for any garbage you put in (not really ANY but a lot of garbage) but they won't be very many.
"asldfjla adfkjdsafd" - 0 hits (looks like you're wrong again)
"random string of nonsense searching" - 22,500 hits
"iphone "compass not working"" - 7,700 hits
"ipod "calendar not working"" - 4,570 hits
"iphone "calendar not working"" - 8,490 hits
"iphone "stocks not working"" - 3 hits (really google makes too many phony hits? Are you sure you dont' mean not enough - do you really believe only 3 people ever uttered these words on the ENTIRE internet???)
"iphone "calculator not working"" - 23,900 hits
"iphone "cannot connect to youtube"" - 980,000 hits
"ipod "cannot connect to youtube"" - 859,000 hits
Yep I see it, it's settled now. It definitely must be something I just made up. Looks like nobody else is having that problem. Must not mean a thing that there are more than 100 times more articles on this built in app than a couple others I picked at random. I'm glad you settled this for me how google is broken and only my iphone is misconfigured and the "cannot connect to youtube" error is not widespread.

Cannot connect to YouTube on iPad 2

After upgrading to iOS 5, my iPad 2 seemed fine, but the next day I suddenly got "cannot connect to YouTube" when using the YouTube app.
Other iOS devices on the same wifi LAN connected fine. The iPad had been fine for a day after upgrading.
I looked at all the (many) threads with the same problem, I followed all the suggested fixes, nothing worked.
Enabling restrictions, disabling the YouTube app so that the icon vanished allowed Safari on the iPad to connect to the YouTube sites, but most of these require Flash and we all know the story there...
I fixed the problem by backing up the iPad 2, doing a complete restore to factory settings and then a restore from that backup, all from iTunes on the Mac. Problem solved, YouTube app working again.

Are you trying to connect over WiFi? Or cellular? Does this happen on all networks or just certain ones?
And, just for my edification, what is "Twitch"?

My macbook pro cannot connect to internet via wifi

Wi-Fi Setup Considerations
Things to consider before you begin
Start with a plan for the physical layout. Depending on whether you have an existing Wi-Fi network, or if you are using your AirPort Express as a standalone Wi-Fi device, there are several options available for you to choose from.
When using Ethernet, Cat6 cable is recommended.
The layout you choose should take into account environmental factors such as physical access, location, range, radio frequency interference, etc.
You will need to consider what AirPort Utility settings to adopt.
You will need to know whether you are using an AirPort Express (802.11b/g) or an AirPort Express (802.11a/b/g/n).
If you will be using more than one Wi-Fi base station, it may be helpful to read the article Extending the range of your wireless network by adding additional Wi-Fi base stations.

When trying to connect to youtube "cannot connect to YouTube" is displayed.

I'm able to pull up YouTube on safari but, when I try and connect using the app it displays "cannot connect to YouTube."
My bookmarks tab no longer exists on safari either. Only the history tab and ipad user guide. I've tried resetting and connecting to itunes and browsing the store and then syncing as one of the other posts suggested however, that did not work with my ipad. Both of these problems happened simultaneously.

Cannot connect to YouTube on Ipad

When I click the YouTube icon on the home page, I get an error message that says "Cannot connect to YouTube". Even when I try to sign in with my YouTube account, it still will not connect. Everything else works ok, including internet connection.

oh and I forgot to mention it is not an internet connection as I access Youtube fine on the same connection using a MBook Pro, a couple of touches and an iPhone.

I have been having this problem too. I have been trying for quite a while in trying different ways of viewing the content(using the YouTube App, Safari, other browsers) and not having a lot of luck in getting YouTube content to display.
Anyone have any ideas on how this could be resolved? I am running version 5.1.1on my ipad.

I have 2 iPads both the sane except for case color. One connects to my home wifi fine, the other will not "join". It finds the wifi name and the little circle turning wheel just spins.

I have 2 iPads both the sane except for case color. One connects to my home wifi fine, the other will not "join". It finds the wifi name and the little circle turning wheel just spins. I have tried about ten different "fixes" none work.. Reboot, forget wifi, etc.
Unplugged wifi on and on for about an hour.
I have compared settings between the two and cannot see any difference.
Both iPads worked fine last week. One made a trip to MI and used cellular access just fine. Now that one still uses cellular OK, but refuses to "join" the wifi.
Too bad I can't attach a picture.
Anyone care to offer a unique workable solution I have not tried?
Thanks

Have you tried renewing the lease in the WiFi settings? Settings>WiFi>Your network name>Tap the blue arrow>Renew Lease. If you haven't tried that - try it first before reading the information about restoring the iOS software.
Follow the instructions in here. If you are unsure about anything - do not proceed. Post back with questions first.
iTunes: Restoring iOS software - Apple - Support
Make sure that you transfer all purchases, backup the iPad and sync with iTunes first. When you restore to factory settings, iTunes should ask if you want to backup first, but it will not hurt to initiate a backup on your won before you even start the restore process.
