I cannot get YouTube videos to play on the ipad.

Reboot, reload, installed YouTube app, it played 1/2 of a video and went back to "video is currently unavailable". It worked last week. Problem both with browser and app. Help!

Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

  • TS1702 How do you get UTube Videos to play on the IPad?

    Is anyone else having trouble with the videos on UTube?  They will start and stop all the time

    Are you using the youtube app?
    If so, another reason for stopping and starting can be your internet speed.

  • We own 5 Apple devices but for some reason I cannot get iTunes to recognize one of the iPads.  The other 4 show up just fine and we can sync and do all the stuff we are supposed to do, but this one device is never recognized.  Tried everything.  Help!

    We own 5 Apple devices but for some reason I cannot get iTunes to recognize one of the iPads.  The other 4 show up just fine and we can sync and do all the stuff we are supposed to do, but this one device is never recognized.  I've tried updating the software, reinstalling iTunes, using different ports on the laptop, different cables...just about everything.  I have NEVER been able to connect this one device, but all the others are fine.  I'm at my wits end.  Is there someone out there who can help a relative novice figure out what's going on?  Thanks so much!

    Keep the Powerbutton and the Homebutton pressed at the same time until you see the Apple logo on your iPad screen.

  • I can't get YouTube videos to play

    I was "cleaning" up some odd files that I noticed were on the hard drive and must have eliminated something important.  Don't ask me what I deleted! Anyway, now I can't play any video that links to YouTube.  I get the "Page cannot be located" error.  So after some searching, I found a post that said I needed to uninstall/reinstall Flash Player.  So I've now done the uninstall.  But when I go to the Adobe.com website and start the download for the latest version that'll work on my setup, again I get the "Page cannot be located" error.  When I try to go to customer service on the Adobe.com website, I also get this same "Page cannot be located" error.  Talk about frustrating!
    Does anyone have a suggestion?  I do still have an older version of Flash Player ".dmg" file on the computer (version 11 vs. currently available version 14) and wonder if I should install the older version and then see if it will update to the current version...
    Please help!
    Pat

    I had the same problem when I updated Flash last time.  Later versions of Flash screwed up all YouTube videos on a Mac still running Snow Leopard. 
    The last version of Flash I've used that works with Snow Leopard and YouTube (and almost any other web video) is 12.0.0.77.  This may be due to a Safari issue with Snow Leopard--I'm running 5.1.7.  Adobe says you have to change your Safari prefs/security to "Allow all plugins" and "Allow Java", but neither of these prefs appear in my version. 
    It's unfortunate, because Flash updates address security issues. 

  • I can no longer get Youtube videos to play in Firefox (v5 on Win XP), while I can with Google Chrome - any ideas?

  • How do I get youtube videos to play

    Hi I'm unable to play youtube videos on my phone.

  • Disappointed with my new Ipad.  Cannot get youtube videos to run.  Videos run great on my Dell and Acer A210 tablet.  What am I doing wrong on the Ipad?

    Cannot get my new IPad with Retina Display to run Youtube videos.  The IPad did run two videos but then it refused to run another video.  I have a Dell Inspiron and an Acer A210 Tablet that ran the same video I was trying to run on the IPad.  The Ipad just keeps trying to load the video, but never runs it.  Very disappointing since this is my first Apple product.  Any solutions to this problem?

    What app are you using for the YouTube videos on your iPad? If trying to view in Safari it is likely that the videos not running use Flash. This is quite common and the iPad will not run Flash.
    I use the Jasmine app for YouTube and have experienced no problems viewing videos.

  • Use ipad2 to play video on Apple TV but cannot get the video to play on the iPad even though I change setting without shutting down and restarting the ipad.

    I have been using my ipad2 to show video on my flatscreen using the Apple TV.  Recently I find that once I use Apple TV I cannot switch back to the ipad for viewing even if I go back to the little rectangular screen and change the checkmark to ipad.  Once this happens all my videos will only play through apple tv.   If I shut down the ipad and restart it I come up in the ipad mode and can view it on the pad. 

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Not really sure on this one, but one thought I have is how full is your iPad. Have you connected your iPad to iTunes recently.

  • How do i get music videos to play like the music does on my ipad, for example one right after another and shuffle

    I need to know how I can get the music videos on my IPad to play like the music does.  What I mean id setting up a playlist, shuffle, and have them play one right after another instead of going back to the main screen.

    At the top of the playlist where it shows the playlist title and the number of songs, there are two icons. Click the "play" triangle to add the entire playlist to "Up Next", or the "shuffle" symbol to do the same thing but in random order. But the currently playing track will stop playing, and all the songs in "Up Next" will be removed (replaced by the ones from this playlist).
    If you hold down the "option" key while clicking those icons, the currently playing song will continue playing, and the new playlist will be added to "Up Next" (above the songs that were already there).

  • How do you stop multiple Youtube videos from playing at the same time?

    As of a few days ago, when I click on a youtube video, as the commercial begins to play, you can begin to hear multiple/different commercials playing at the same time. After the commercials, the same issue occurs with the main video--multiple videos are being played at the same time and are not in sync. I've updated all my plug ins and have tried the suggestion posted in the forum provided in the link below in which someone else has expressed the same issue, but nothing has worked so far. Does anyone know what can be done?

    Are you loading those videos as Flash or HTML5? It is possible to prevent videos from playing until you click something with Flashblock for Flash or Stop Tube HTML5 for HTML5. You can also stop the commercials with Adblock Plus with an Easylist subscription.

  • I cannot get an audiobook to play on my iPad after downloading it. What is the fix?

    I purchased and downloaded two audiobooks to my iPad Air 2 with OS 8.1 they show up, but will not play.

  • Cannot get PDF files to load on the iPad Mini from iTunes!

    Cannot get PDF to load on the iPad Mini through iTunes (latest version).   I could easily do this on the iPod Touch.   So what is missing?

    I solved my problem.  It turns out the default in iTunes is NO Sync for books or podcasts.  Once I turned that on I had success.   That wording should be included in the explanation on how to transfer PDF files to the iPad.

  • Cannot get some TV shows off of the ipad

    For any TV series, there are two or three episodes that will not delete off of the ipad when I uncheck them in itunes. The rest seem to delete just fine. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get those episodes off of the ipad. Thank you!

    Hi,
    This thread may answer your question. http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11490664
    Connect your iPad to your Mac, launch iTunes. Select your iPad under Devices on the left then click the Summary tab.
