And now, for no reason, they don't. Why? Well, if it's YouTube changing something, there's nothing you can do about that. It's probably not going to be a hardware issue. So, if you think that the app, Safari in this case, and/or your iPad OS itself is causing the problem, then there are steps available to try to fix the problem.
Your Users Guide has a whole chapter (at the end) devoted to what you do when things aren't going well, generally following the sequence of
Restart - red slider, then boot up again
Force Quit apps - either via Sleep/Wake followed by Home, or via Recents Tray
Reset - hold Home & Sleep/Wake to force reboot
Reset iPad Settings - Settings > General >Reset
Erase All Content - same as above
Restore iPad Software - iTunes or iOS 5 equivalent
You start at #1 and work your way through until the issue you're seeing goes away. If you get through all of the steps and it still doesn't work, you're pretty much out of gas and have to start talking to Apple.

What's wrong with YouTube on Safari!!!

Hi guys,
This is just recently!! YouTube on Safari is literally BAD EXPERIENCE!!!
When I choose to play something, it either:
- Play the first 4 seconds and repeat with a black screen
- Play 10-15 seconds as a whole clip instead of the proper lenght of the clip
- It keeps freezing my browser if a video managed to load, it gets stuck A LOT, it plays only part of it and not all of it and it just doesn't work!!
What is going on! I tried all of this uninstall Flash and reinstall and/or whatever!!!
It works smoothly on Firefox, something is wrong with SAFARI!!!
What can I do? anybody with the same issue and found out a solution!!
I can!!
Sul.

Hi ...
Quit Safari.
Really helps to tell us which Mac OS X you have installed when you post.
If you are running v10.7 Lion, open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
If you aren't running v10.7 Lion, start here:
If you are sure you UNINSTALLED the original Flash plugin first before reinstalling new, launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Now try a video.
BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to: Open in 32 bit mode is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.

Losing internet connection with youtube in safari

I keep losing Network connection after i use YouTube in safari. Need to restart iPad to get connection again. Anyone an solution? I Re installed already 2 times but without any luck.

Use the you tube app that came with the pad, and see if the problem happens there are well.
Do you internet on other apps or browsing? I think you have an internet issue, not a you tube issue.

Can anyone help with YouTube embed and scrolling problem?

Hi,
Whilst working on a mobile version of a site, I've noticed that if you're scrolling through on a device and the area with the YouTube embed is near the top of the screen, it'll suddenly scroll all the way back up to the top of the site. This only seems to happen with the YouTube embed, the rest of the site seems to work fine.
Anyone else had similar issues?
The site is www.cowandbell.com/phone
I'm using an iPhone5 running iOS7 and it's happening in Chrome and Safari.

Sorry if it sounded like I was telling you to "go away." Far from it: I was trying to point you to the place where you might get an answer most expeditiously. I'm trying to save you time vs. simply having your question sit around unanswered.
For example, if other Parallels users have had the same problem, the Parallels folks would be the most likely know. I would not assume that"Parallels' answer will inevitably be, "We don't support third-party software."without first asking them.
You'd be surprised to know how many times folks post questions here about third-party applications and the questions go unanswered, while the answer is actually waiting to be found at the Web site of the third-party app's developer.
You might also try the HP Web site since it may be a general problem with that set of drivers under Windows.
Good luck!

PLEASE HELP WITH YOUTUBE!

I cant get into youtube!!
Everytime when I open it there's a message that says :"You must first connect to iTunes with an internet connection to enable You tube". I have get into iTunes several times, in safari and in the iTunes box on the main screen, nothing seems to solve this problem.. I have wireless in my house and i can get into safari and see the worldmap, but i cant open youtube.. Any suggestions?

Goshia, that is not true. You can open a link in a Safari page that automatically switches to the YouTube App for playback. The odd behavior is that only links with certain properties initiate the transfer to the YouTube app. example: while in Safari, clicking a youtube link in yahoo mail will work however typing the link directly into the Safari address bar will only send you to the YouTube webpage for that video. This is a very odd discrepancy that must be purposefully designed to limit YouTube usage or something.
The workaround, until Safari can transfer a link to the youtube app, is to email yourself the link and open it from within Mail.app or a Mail site within Safari. It works for me.
It is odd. The only difference between a link in an email and a direct link on a youtube webpage is that the email link tries to open a second browser window. Why that is a problem I do not understand.

Problems with youtube and safari 5.0.5

When I try to download a .flv video from youtube using the command+option+A and get the activity window and double click the video it now opens a tab and plays it in the new tab but no longer downloads the file. I haven't done this in awhile and just tried it after updating Safari to 5.0.5 and was wondering if its Safari, Youtube or even flash that is preventing me from downloading the video? Anyone else have this problem? Before now it use to work all the time. I have googled it and I have found nothing on this.

Hi,
Try troubleshooting the Safari .plist file. Quit Safari.
Open a Finder window. Select your Home Folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon. Then open the Library folder then the Preferences folder.
Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file from the Preferences folder to the Desktop. Relaunch Safari. Try a .flv file. If it downloads the file as it should then move the .plist file to the Trash, otherwise move it back to the Preferences folder.
If that didn't help, back to the Finder window, Home folder, Library / Safari. Move the Downloads.plist file from the Safari folder to the Trash. Restart Safari. Try again.
And check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. Could be an Extension causing a conflict. If you have any installed, turn that off, relaunch Safari, try again.

How do I get help with a malfunctioning Safari app on my iPad mini?

I've been using the app successfully for quite some time. All of the sudden today, it started spontaneously closing. There is no warning or otherwise abnormal behavior. It simply shuts off. My device home screen appears, I re-open the app and it continues working (but not from the exact same location as before it quit) for a minute or two, then repeats. Is anybody else having issues, know what the problem is, or know who I could contact to get it fixed? The seems to be limited support for my query. I really don't know what to do. It's unusable.

I have reset all settings myself and it is a PITA to enter all of the settings again back to where you had them so I know how you feel.
Issues that crop up in Safari that cant be fixed by clearing the cache and/or resetting all settings only leave a couple of other possibilities that I can think of. An app conflict, or something corrupt in the Safari software now.
I'm guessing that you know how to close apps in the recents tray and you could try that now, unless you have already attempted that. You could try restoring form a recent backup - if you have a very recent backup. You said that this problem just started today, so there could be something that went corrupt on the iPad today that's causing the problem. Or you could try backing up, restore to factory settings and then restore from the backup.
If none of that works, then a trip to an Apple Store would be your next step. An appointment at an Apple Store for software issues is not necessarliy a paid visit. As far as I know, the overwhemling majority of the time there is no charge for their help at all.

Quick help with a new Safari user?

Hey guys,
Since Mountain Lion, Firefox was destroying my CPU and was sending the fans nuts! So Ive made the switch to Safari.
2 really quick questions. I have imported my bookmarks but I HATE the way bookmarks work in Safari, or at least the only way in which I have found so far. So instead of having to open up the horrible bookmarks window with the page previews ala iTunes cover art, can I somehow get a Firefox like drop down bookmark list in the current window I have?
Also I do not like having to tell Safari that i want to browse privately every time I use Safari. Can I set safari to never save my history?
Thanks

Ok I made myself a new folder called bookmarks that gives me drop down bookmarks like I wanted but can I get rid of the button that opens the bookmark window?
Still not solved history issue.

Help with Automator and Safari

I am an automator newbie and need some help. What I am trying to do is automate a rather time consuming task. I have 219 bookmarks in Safari for books at amazon.com. What I would like to do is use Automator to take the title of each book and the ISBN of each book of the bookmarked page and then paste it into an excel database. Is this possible? If I could I would like to take it one step further. What I would really like to do is take the title of each book, the ISBN, and post them into a text file (or Excel Database) and then check to see if each title is available at my local borders store and note that in the file as well. Is this possible?
Thanks
Tim

Hi
Easiest way is to click/drag the image to your desktop, where it is automatically saved in its original file format (e.g. jpeg, gif etc.). From there you can move the file to a designated location via your Finder.
The other path is to right click or control key/click on an image, opening the contextual menu. There, you have a choice to directly download the image to your designated Safari download location (Safari preferences>General), or you can hold down the "option" key, which changes the contextual menu command from "save image to Safari download" to "save image as". Here, you can navigate to your location of choice.
Also, in the contextual menu, you can download the image directly in your iPhoto library.
So there's a lot of ways at your disposal.

Really need help with this, can't use safari on my ipod

I clicked on a link on a website for my school, and then it opened in another page. idk if i clicked something or this happened on its own, but then a video tried to open from the image. I've messed around with my settings, and i can't seem to be able to get a youtube video to open on my ipod if it's from a website, i always have to go directly from youtube to find anything. So it says "could not load video", the only option is to click okay, so I do, and then it gives me the main ipod youtube page, with history and search and all that stuff. I give up and decide to just look at something else, and click safari, except it goes straight to the image, which goes straight to the unloadable video on another program, and then i have to close the page. It goes in circles, but it means that safari is unusable, and my computer is broken, so i really need it for internet.
Also, is there a way to make youtube videos viewable from a website link?
And why, when I search up a popular song on youtube on my ipod, and type in that i want the lyric video, i only get live versions, and there is never any lyric videos, and i usually detest live versions of songs?? and then when i search the same thing on someone's computer, i get my lovely lyric videos? Is Youtube angry at Apple or something?
aand why were the older ipods less crash-prone?
answers are very helpful, especially for the first question, because i am clueless about technoloy. Honestly, it took me a year to learn how to turn on my computer....

A lote of sitesuse the Flash version of YourTube. no iOS devices support flash. The you have to either use the YourTube app or Safari to go to YouTube since Safari tells the YouTube site to use HTML5.
For other problems withwith Safari try going to Settins>Safari and clear Histor, Cookies and Data.
Also reset the iPod. Nothing is lost.
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Problems with YouTube - iPad app and Safari on iPad

Recently, I have started to encounter problems with YouTube on the iPad. The first is the desktop version of YouTube on safari. At first it worked fine, but a few days ago, whenever I try to watch a video, the playing area stays black and a message appears saying 'This video is currently unavailable.' One 'solution' I found online was to switch to the HTML5 video player in 'TestTube.' However, as the videos had been working before I didn't see why it was necessary, and anyway when I tried it only a few videos worked, with the rest showing the same message I described earlier. The mobile version of the YouTube site woks fine.
The second problem lies with the subscriptions feature of the YouTube app. When I tap the subscriptions button, not all of them show up. I've tried finding a video by the user I want to subscribe to, tapping 'More From', followed by 'Subscribe,' but this brings up the error message 'YouTube not avaliable.' Subscribing to any other channel from the app works fine.
Thanks - any help with either porblem would be greatly appreciated! I don't really want to go to the Apple store, and my free telephone support that came with the iPad finished some time ago.

OMG Apple, I'm am fed up with this stupid YouTube problem I paid $500 for my iPad if not more, and I expect better! I cannot view official music videos, episodes and I can't even view 2 out of 10 videos I search for. stop trying to make people buy from your stupid iTunes store and let them be able to view all videos on YouTube. Anyone who asks me if I'd recommend and iPad, you know what I say? Its not worth the money because the reason I got an iPad was being able to have freedom just like a pc and clearly I don't have that. They ask me; can an iPad do everything a pc can do, and I say no it can't, all because I can't view videos properly on YouTube. I'm 15 and saved for an iPad and it took me 2 years, $500 I regret spending!
Kind regards

This sounds like a problem that YouTube can help you with.
For Safari, when you are at a page that has a video, copy and paste it in IE or Firefox to make sure it works.
If it does, go back to Safari and click Help -> Report Bugs to Apple. Select "Content Missing"

Hello John...
You may have a Safari third party add on installed that was compatible with the previous version of Safari but not 5.1. Try troubleshooting > Safari: Unsupported third-party add-ons may cause Safari to unexpectedly quit or have performance issues
FYI... this is a user to user forum. If you can't resolve the issue, information for contacting AppleCare here.
