For whatever reason I can't get a link to a youtube video to work no matter what, other URLs work fine

Title says it all really. I have an image button on my website, and when clicked should link to a youtube video. However, no matter what, I always get www.mywebsite.com/www.youtube...etc. And yes I know you need http:// in there or something to get it to work. I've tried every variation of the youtube link, including the shortened one it gives when you click the share icon. But no matter what, I get the same result. I've tried deleting the whole thing and starting from scratch too. I have other images that link to other websites, and those all work fine. It's just this youtube one. I've even tried copying one of those, changing the image, and posting the link there. Nothing.
Maybe I'm just missing something. I'm not the most experienced person with the software, so bear with me. I'm using CS5.5. Let me know if there's anymore info I can provide to help.
Thanks!

If your website host has a caching engine turned on, you might not be able to see the most recent version of your page right away. If I remove https:// from your link, I can replicate your results. Have you tried saving your page with a different name, and uploading that as a test?
If you mouse over the two graphics in the following link, you can see that the one on the left will add my website link to the URL, while the one on the right works as expected: Link Test

  • For whatever reason, I am frequently getting delays in seeing the characters after I type.

    For whatever reason, I am frequently getting delays in seeing the characters after I type when using Firefox- ie- Firefox, G mail, etc- but not when using other apps like Skype. I have downloaded the latest add-ons and Flow Scroll w no improvement and moved the remote sensor closer to the keyboard and changed the batteries numerous times but because the issue is with only certain programs I wonder if it is Firefox that is having the problem? Thanks in advance for your help~ Jim

    You can check for problems with the sessionstore.js and sessionstore.bak files in the Firefox profile folder that store session data.
    Delete the sessionstore.js file and possible sessionstore-##.js files with a number and sessionstore.bak in the Firefox profile folder.
    *Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
    Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups and open and closed (undo) tabs to get lost and you will have to recreate them (make a note or bookmark them).
    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 or otherwise make changes.

    I have a Macbook, an iPad 2, and an iPhone 4. I also have iCloud on all three devices. For some reason I can not get new information from my contacts folder to transfer to the iPad or the iPhone. Never been a problem before.

    POP: yahoo, aol, comcast/time warnder/road runner
    Imap: google, hotmail, and more including icloud.
    If you want to use multiple devices - move to imap, I would even say "exchange", but Google does not support free exchange anymore, since January of that year. So Ironically  Icloud or Hotmail would be my choices right now.
    To find out more about what happens to you, search on Google "difference between pop and imap"

  • My account got canceled for no reason, and can't get to support...

    My account got canceled for no reason, and can't get to support... Called 800-422-3623, was told they will call back in 1 hr 15 min, got the call and then was put on hold for another 18 min. Can't get help anywhere!!!
    BTW, the account was canceled because adobe messed up the billing system early October, and decided to charge me FIFTY+ times in one day. Screwed up my bank account at BofA too - alert everywhere and all my other transactions were blocked. Adobe promised me that it's been fixed and gave me 6 months free. Now I got the account canceled and can't get a hold of them. This is unacceptable.

  • How can I insert a link to a YouTube video in RoboHelp?

    How can I insert a link to a YouTube video in a RoboHelp CHM topic or in a WebHelp topic. On YouTube, I can select Share \ Embedded and get this HTML:

    But when I generate the project, I get the msg, This program cannot display the webpage.

    Or just paste the embed code from Youtube in the topic (using HTML view)

  • For some reason i can't get a youtube video to play on MacBook.

    All of a sudden I can't get a video to play on youtube, what steps should I take to troubleshoot?  It was working a few days ago.
    Thanks!

    Just to test your download speed - if your ISP doesn't have a server for testing in your area, try one at http://www.speedtest.net/ and report back with the results.
    Here are my results from speedtest:
    Note that this is slower than the results that I get from my local ISP.

  • I can't get the local Lowes store with Firefox, IE works fine, why?

    I am having trouble getting to the website of my local Lowes store. I am able to get to lowes.com but when i try to show the store locator to pick a local store nothing happens. It is important to be able to get the local store website so as to be able to see pricing and availability of items. With internet explorer this happens automatically, but not so with Firefox. Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated. P.S. I did not have this problem with Home Depot.

    PLease could you help me too.  I have been onto support through several emails and online helps and they do not understand the problem correctly and have not resolved it.  I have photoshopcc 2014.  If I click on add layer mask icon I get a white thumbnail.  That seems ok.  I then select a brush - set to normal etc.  all ok.  Then I attempt to either brush in or out on my photo to reveal or hide bits of layer below and it no longer works.
    Weirdly, I noticed it was not selected in channels.  So I checked the layer mask in channels and then back in layers it works except now it works by painting on a rubylith (which it did not do before 2014 version) then when I am done if I click apply mask everything works ok and it is done.  It just does not work unless I select in channels.
    This also happens if I apply an adjustment layer.  The adjustment comes into the thumbnails with a mask and the mask is unselected in channels, I have to select and it paints a ruby lith.
    If I go to layers in the menu however and select layer mask hide all or reveal all then select my brush it works fine and as it normally did before.
    I have tried re installing etc. and every bit of normal advice but nothing works.  Can you help or do you know anyone who can.  As I am desperate here is my email: [email protected]
    thank you

  • Hey guys/gals! for some reason I can't get the ipod on iphone to work.

    I touch the ipod icon, and the screen turns blank for a few seconds and then reverts to the home screen...any ideas?
    Thanks.

    Yeah, you're in the wrong forum. But when you get this posted on the right forum, I expect they wlll suggest the problem is with either the camera's port or its settings – since capture works with other cameras and presumably the same cable. So doublecheck to ensure your camera is set to hdv if captuiring hdv and so forth.

  • I can't get iHeart radio to play in FireFox. Works fine in IE.

    iHeart radio won't play in Firefox. I get other stations, videos, streaming, etc. just fine. Is one of my add-ons interfering?

    If you think it is an add on you can troubleshoot in Safe Mode
    '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode|Firefox Safe Mode]] is a troubleshooting mode that turns off some settings and disables most add-ons (extensions and themes).
    ''(If you're using an added theme, switch to the Default theme.)''
    If Firefox is open, you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu by clicking on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item:<br>
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]<br><br>
    If Firefox is not running, you can start Firefox in Safe Mode as follows:
    * On Windows: Hold the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * On Mac: Hold the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
    * On Linux: Quit Firefox, go to your Terminal and run ''firefox -safe-mode'' <br>(you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]] article to find the cause.
    ''To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help others with the same problem.
    Thank you.

  • When I open MSN via firefox, access my hotmail account and want to download an attachment, I can not get the attachment to download. Why? Works fine through IE.

    I open firefox. I go to www.msn.com. I open my hotmail. I click on any email that has an attachment. I click on "download" for the attachment. Nothing happens. No matter how many times I click on "download". However, I can open IE, go to MSN and then to my hotmail, open the email with attachment, click on the "download" and it will download and open. Why won't this work with Firefox?

    I dont understand the answer
    '''''""The problem can be solved by opening FF and choosing Tools...Add On's...select the SEARCH addon and choose UNINSTALL...restart FF browser when asked, then reload Mobsters. This worked for me. The suggestion on the 404 that says to remove Search via Add/Remove Programs is completely BS, as Search doesnt show there. ""'''''

  • I can't get more than one window of Firefox to open no matter what I try. Help!

    I recently had a virus and had to do a system restore to about a month ago. After the restore everything worked okay, except for Firefox. Now I can't open more than one Firefox window at a time and the window that is open is having a bunch of problems (right clicking won't open things into tabs, the back button isn't working, etc.). I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, but that did nothing.
    == Yesterday

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")
