I cannont pull up youtube on my computer

I am using Google Chrome as well as Safari and none of the google sites (docs, gmail, youtube) can be reached.  I cannot even watch embedded youtube videos.  I have emptied caches and deleted entire histories of both programs and nothing seems to work.  I am afraid to restart my computer because Lion takes at least 15 minutes to reboot again.  And thats after force quitting Chrome on startup.  Is Lion the thing that is causing me so many problems?

Make sure you have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player Software.

Ask in the Lion forum area.

    The hard disk has been previously checked with state of the art techniques that have confirmed that the hard disk drive is in perfect condition.

    1.5-3 minute boot up as opposed to 15-20 seconds
    And
    why it takes a long time to load a lot of things.
    I have restored this
    from a time machine partition.
    TimeMachine is only a backup and restore, it won't fix issues in software and according to your information, doesn't even optimize the restore for best performance on boot hard drives.
    What you need to do to regain your speed is to understand how your machine works

    There shouldn't be need to reinstall OS X fresh unless your having file structure issues which if they are should appear when in the Steps, which then a zero erase and install will cure as well as any bad sector issues, the defrag step wouldn't be necessarry on a freshly installed system obviously as the files are written all together, not in portions all over the drive.

  • Youtube Crashes my computer. Blue Screen event.

    OK, so, I have a Toshiba laptop that runs Windows Vista. The internet browser I use is Mozilla Firefox ( just recently downloaded a new beta version of it too and tried that, didn't fix anything). Every time when I'm on youtube, my computer shuts down and gives me a blue screen (sometimes it takes one hour, two hours, three hours, or more, it's also done it right after the computer starts, and I've tried with only youtube open, so it's not that I'm running too many things, I don't think). Then it restarts itself before I have the chance to read anything on the blue screen and tells me that windows is recovering from an unexpected shutdown. It gives me nothing when I look for a solution, but these are the details it gives me:
    Problem signature:
    Problem Event Name: BlueScreen
    OS Version: 6.0.6002.2.2.0.768.2
    Locale ID: 1033
    Additional information about the problem:

    BCP2: 00000002
    BCP3: 00000001
    BCP4: 81FBEFF9
    OS Version: 6_0_6002

    I've looked in the youtube support forum. They referred me to the Microsoft support forum to look for a solution.
    Then I figured I should check the manufacturer's website. At first I was sure it was something wrong with my DVD driver, but I fixed that and it's still happening. A little over a week ago, I did a system restore back to factory point, so I'm not convinced that that'll work, however I didn't start having this problem until AFTER I did the restore...so maybe that was it? I don't know.
    Someone suggested that I've acquired a virus. I have anti-virus software.
    And it can't have anything to do with my computer overheating because I use a cooling pad. Any help at all would be very appreciated!
    Oh! And it happens in Internet Explorer as well. And I always check for Windows Updates on my computer. I download them when I have them, but right now I don't have any new important ones.
    I was finally able to get the blue screen to stay long enough for me to read it. It said that it was shutting down because it detected a problem and was trying to prevent any damage to my computer. It said that if I had never seen the message before, to just restart, but if I had seen it before to follow a bunch of steps which I don't completely understand...
    To check if had adequate disk space (--adequate for what?)
    If a driver is identified in the stop message (which I don't know if one is) I need to disable that driver (which I don't know how) or check with the manufacturer for driver update (I'm guessing it means on Toshiba's website?)
    Change video adapters (once again...no clue?)
    It also tells me to check the hardware vendor for BIOS update (don't know what that is or how to do it)
    Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing (still don't know)
    Then it tells me how to get into safe mode if I need to do it that way.
    Then it says this:
    STOP: 0x0000008E (0x0000005, 0x8D8497C0, 0xA6EFB6B8, 0x00000000)
    igdKmd32.sys - Address 8D8497C0 base at 8D803000, DateStamp 4851d0b0
    And then says a bunch of stuff about dumping memory something to disk or whatever.
    So ya...if anyone knows what any of this means and can help me out...PLEASE DO!
    PS. A BETA version of Mozilla Firefox is my default browser right now since in the past I have encountered issues with Internet Explorer

    Hi
    To be honest I never had any problems watching the videos from youtube.
    You will need to have the flash player plugin and I noticed that new flash player version has been released. So check this
    Update the flash player
    Back to BSOD issue it can happen due to hardware or software issue but in your case I think its software related.
    If the flash update does not help, recover the unit again and test it with new fresh preinstalled OS.

  • Youtube videos prevent computer from going to sleep. any way to fix this?

    even if they aren't actually playing anymore, even if they are paused, even if they are in a background tab or window.
    I hate this. is there ANY way to fix this?
    i tried this in camino, safari 2.

    I don't believe i am the only person in the world who has discoved the youtubes, and yet still wanted their computer to go to sleep automatically.
    I tried this on 5 other computers, and the results are always the same.
    YOUTUBE VIDEOS PREVENT YOUR MAC FROM AUTOMATICALLY GOING TO SLEEP.
    tell me im wrong, tell me theres a fix, tell me aything. just talk to me! for the love of god!

  • Youtube causing my computer's fans to run?

    So I've posted on here before about my fans acting up. I've noticed something recently. Anytime I'm on youtube.com, my fans will run if I have the computer plugged into the wall. However, If I have it unplugged my fans won't run at all. Is this normal and happen to anyone else?

    This does not sound normal to me. Someone on this forum had a similar problem, and it turned out that he has a process running in the background that was causing an extreme amount of CPU usage and causing the heat and fans to run to excess.
    Open Activity Monitor and set it to show all processes. Then look for something using a ridiculous amount of the CPU and quit that process and see if it helps.
    Another thing to do--run the Apple Hardware Test to see if you have a defective thermal sensor or something like that.
    But I don't think what you are experiencing is normal, and I think in time the heat will compromise your logic board. Be sure and get 3 year Applecare if you haven't already.
    Good luck!

  • Youtube freezes my computer

    After having troubles similar to the ones being described in the AMD bar and grill, I changed my video driver xf86-video-ati. But it seems to be allergic to youtube videos. All I have to do is have an embedded video in my browser window - not playing - and the video goes grey like the screensaver is going to come on. The keyboard and mouse then become unresponsive.
    I removed gnome-screensaver. Didn't help.
    grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log
    returned no errors.

    Seems to be a lot of videos that won't play without the plugin, though. What are those workarounds?
    You either add embed or tv# in the url
    ie
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7fQ9DxJNCY
    becomes:
    http://www.youtube.com/embed/Q7fQ9DxJNCY
    or
    http://www.youtube.com/tv#/watch?v=Q7fQ9DxJNCY
    Its abit of work but you can blame the skinflints of Youtube for this. This happens with monetized videos.
    Also some videos haven't been converted to webm so they might not work at all. I am not sure what happens with YouTube if you have a browser that can play .mp4. AFAIK firefox will use gstreamer by default in a next version.
    This will make sites like vimeo work.

  • Lost sound from onboard games and youtube, skype and computer sounds ok. Presario CQ61

    This happened after I installed the last Vista updates from microsoft. Both sound drivers say they're ok when I run dxdiag.  Mixer at 100% No sound in two browsers, and dvd's have no sound either.  Would a system restore be the way to go, or can I just reverse an update without doing the whole computer? Thanks in advance for the info

  • Can a field be made to pull the current date from computer or internet and display it?

    Im making a form for someone and they want the current date of when the form is opened to be displayed at the top without having to type it in.  Is this possible?  I assume this has something to do with javascript but I dont know anything about that stuff

    Hi,
    I search something in the forum and found your message. If you need it once again, try this:
    var f = this.getField("currentDate");
    f.value = util.printd("dd.mm.yyyy",new Date());
    Or this one (helpful for Germans who want to display their date like this: 29. Juni 2010. If you take the first one in the dd. mmmm yyyy format, it shows you the month in English. 29. June 2010):
    var f = this.getField("currentDate");
    f.value = util.printd("date(de){DD. MMMM YYYY}", new Date(), true);

  • I can not load youtube on my computer at work. My coworkers are able to load it okay. IE will load it but it appears to be in some sort of text format.

    I do not get any error messages it just does not load. The status indicator will just keep going like it is trying to load but I never get anything. This is the only site I have problems with. we are behind a proxy server and I have a static IP address on my desktop.

    With Facebook on display, click on the site identity button (for details on what that is see the [[site identity button]] article) and then on More Information. This will open up the page info dialog.
    First select the Permissions panel, make sure that "Load Images" is set to allow (selecting Use Default should also work)
    Next select the Media panel, then click on the first item in the list. Use the down arrow key to scroll through the list. If any item has the option "Block images from (domain name)" selected, de-select the option.
    This should hopefully resolve your issue, but also see [[Images or animations do not show]].
    Some add-ons can also block images, for example if you have AdBlock Plus installed, make sure that you have not accidentally created a filter to block the images.

  • Apple TV3 AirPlay Issue

    Hello everyone.
    Just purchased an ATV3 about a month ago and have been mostly enjoying AirPlay mirroring.... but I have a problem.
    Firstly, these are the Apple products in my home: ATV3, MBP 2012, MBA 2012, MacMini 2012, and an iPhone 6.
    The 2 MacBooks and the iPhone are in the same area as the ATV3 and the ATV/MBA are on 2.4GHz while the MBP/iP6 is on 5GHz wifi. The Mini is in another part of the house with IR receiver and wifi turned OFF and is connected via ethernet. I have done all updates on all Apple products and the ATV3 has also been restored (after updates) in an attempt to figure this out. I have also made sure that all Home Sharing options have been shut off on ALL Apple items. I have verified the local wifi activity on both 2.4 and 5GHz to make sure I am on channels not being used by others in the area. The MBA/ATV3 are showing max signal in my router (5 bars).
    Here is what is happening and it is 100% consistent.
    My wife will be using AirPlay mirroring on her MBA in the bedroom. I will be in another part of the house on the hardwired Mini. If I pull up Youtube on any computer in the house, including the ethernet connected Mini, she immediately loses mirroring to the ATV causing the ATV menu to be shown on the TV. On her MBA, the stream continues but the only way she can reconnect to the ATV is to completely reboot her MBA. She cannot simply press the AirPlay icon and reconnect- she MUST reboot since the AirPlay icon still shows her to be mirroring to the ATV. There may or may not be other sites that cause this loss of communication but YouTube creates this problem 100% of the time. Oh, and when this happens, I can hear the Youtube sound from the TV even though I am seeing the Apple menu and NOT connected with AirPlay in any way.
    I am a fan of Apple products. I went with the ATV3 thinking it would make things easier since I live in a Mac environment- I am now starting to seriously question this move. This product is useless to me if I cannot use another Mac while the wife is using AirPlay mirroring to the ATV3. Yes, I know I can stay off YouTube during mirroring but I expect to be able to use another computer in any way I wish while the ATV is being used, especially one that isn't on wifi.
    Anybody have any suggestions on what is going on and how to resolve it?
    Thanks for any assistance you may be able to provide.

    I have never regretted an Apple purchase, until now.
    The previously found problem pales in comparison to the most recent issue. I had decided to avoid YouTube while the wife is mirroring to the ATV3 and all would be well. WRONG! Apparently, I can't watch or listen to iTunes any time she is streaming to the ATV3 either. This is unacceptable.
    I am very happy with all of my other Apple products but I feel that I was duped on this purchase. I figured it would just work, and it does, as long as I don't touch any other Apple product I own while this thing is mirroring.
    Time to sell it at a loss and find a cheap mini pc to handle my streaming needs. Color me disappointed.

  • Safari and Youtube  + Computer lagging [after yosemite update]

    Hello all,
    Lately, when I go on youtube.com (with safari as my default browser), there is an extreme amount of lagging. Youtube takes forever to load, and after refreshing the page a few times, the pace of the site is still very slow. When I click a video, I usually have to cancel the tab and start over or click the video several times before it actually loads. After that, I get the video and the comment section says "loading..." and never loads! Does anyone else have this lagging issue?
    Not only youtube, but my computer has started to lag a bit? my tablet doesn't function that well with my computer (even after updating the driver/reinstalling twice). Also, and of the safari tabs I eventually have open all end up lagging, and I have to restart my computer constantly. Does anyone have a solution for this?
    Oh, I'm using a Macbook air.

    Hey OrangeSlices,
    Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like Safari is running slowly. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.

  • Ipad youtube screen is locked in a video stilll

    When we pull up youtube it is functional but the screen is covered by a video still from a video that my son had played earlier in the day. 

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    Finally, if the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely.  Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.

  • My macbook pro no longer connects to my TV with the mini dvi to hdmi adapter. A while ago the computer fell down and hit the cable. How can I tell if the computer is working ok. Doesn't show mirroring any more.

    My macbook pro no longer connects to my TV with the mini dvi to hdmi adapter. A while ago the computer fell down and hit the cable. How can I tell if the computer is working ok. Doesn't show mirroring any more. Was working while watching a movie but when I pulled it out from the computer and put it back in the system would no longer mirrorr the screen on the TV.

    The best option is an appointment at an Apple store genius bar.  The evaluation will be for FREE!
    Ciao.
