Ipad won't play youtube vids

My ipad stopped playing youtube vids

Of course there are other vid apps, but I bought a device and it should do what it should and has. Otherwise I'd just buy a kindle and save a few. Something is not working. I need a fix for this.
If you've never used your browser to play a clip on line than you probably have never been on line; go to any news site, for 1 example. Or do a search for video on Google and go to any site other than youTube (a Google company), Daily motion, Vimeo, Comedy Network.

  • You can't even play YouTube vids w/o Adobe Flash after YouTube disappears when we download OS6: so goodbye YouTube on the IPad: very stupid.

    You can't even play YouTube vids on the IPad w/o Adobe Flash after you download OS6: so bye! bye! YouTube on the IPad after you download: so my question is why didn't Apple tell us: I'll never trust them again.

    YouTube through safari works just fine for me.
    Google has a iphone app for youtube in the store,  ipad version coming soon supposedly.
    It was common knowledge for months that the integrated youtube app was gone. 

  • I have windows 8.1 and firefox won't play youtube videos but IE will

    I have windows 8.1 and firefox won't play youtube videos but IE will. I have tried reinstalling firefox, flash, java. Resetting firefox don't help, disabled hardware acceleration, protected mode 0 in the mms.cfg file. Nothing will play on youtube in firefox. It says "an error has occured, please try again later". The ads play fine though. Everything plays fine in IE. I have tried different versions of flash also with no luck. I even restored the system to a previous iso image with no luck. Does anyone have a solution?

    It maybe because your javascript is disabled .
    You can check the javascript.enabled pref on the about:config page.

    Or,
    "Clear the Cache":
    Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Safe Mode] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • I have an ipad 2 and it constantly buffers on I players such as itv and 4od. I have an iPhone 5 and on the same wifi it's perfectly fine yet my ipad won't play. Any ideas??

    Hi,
    Have you tried a reset?
    This solves a lot of these problems, and I'm not sure if this will work in your case, but give it a try. You hold down the sleep and home buttons at the same time. A slider will appear. Ignore it and keep holding both buttons down. After about 15 seconds the Apple logo will appear. See if that helps.
    You will not lose anything on your ipad when you do a reset. (A restore is a whole other issue!)
    The following link addresses your issue and offers some other possible solutions.

  • My iPad won't play iTunes when my PC is shut down?

    My iPad won't play iTunes when my PC is shut down?

    If you are playing music from the computer to your iPad using Home Sharing your computer must be on.

  • Bravia TV Won't Play YouTube

    Hi, I bought the Sony Bravia KD-55X850B 4K TV earlier this year but suddenly it won't play YouTube videos. All was fine before. Is there something wrong with the app on the TV? The message is "Sorry Cannot Play This Video" - first it was for live streaming stuff and then all videos. Highly annoying. And yes the TV is correctly connected to the internet.

    Hi C3PO, 
    Welcome to the Sony Community! 
    Please try the suggestions below.
    Refresh the Internet Content of the TV. Here are the steps.
    Press HOME Button on the remote, then select [Settings] 
    [System Setting] > [Set-up] > [Network] > [Refresh Internet Content].
    Check if the software of the TV is updated. Refer to the steps below.
    Press Home Button, then select  [Settings] 
    [System Setting] > Customer Support > Software Update
    NOTE: The above steps applies to specific products. Refer to the supplied manual for further details.

  • IPad won't play sound with video? Will play music and radio apps, but not if there is a video component. Same for my iTunes movies.

    Help! My iPad won't play any audio when there is a video component to an app or game.   It will play my music and I can see the video on my movies, but not the movie sound.   Turning off and turning it on again worked as a temporary fix once, but now that is not working either.   Been going on for an week or two?

    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.

  • IPad does Not  Play Youtube Videos

    My iPad 2 dont loads YouTube videos, or it's really slow going. I tried many tips from the Internet, but nothing works for a long time. Will it give a update of ios or will I stuck in this sh**?

    If they are Flash based, which a lot of Youtube is, they won't play.
    Try using the Youtube app instead of trying to play through Safari.

  • Video player - iPad won't play! Help?

    HHi, my i player won't play, nothing will not play all of a sudden? Any solutions greatly appreciated! Thanks jo

    Try closing the Videos App and reset the iPad.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Next, 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • My ipad won't play the rented movie I started this morning on plane

    I started watching a rental movieon my ipad this morning on a plane.  It's been less than 24 hours, but the rental won't play.  It opens up and then says "cannot open".  How do I fix this?  If it's an account thing, my room at the hotel will charge me for a 2nd device, so I need to take it elsewhere to get a wifi signal.  This is an ipad 2 and I've never had this happen before.  It is within the 24 hours after I started watching it and I really do want to finish the film before it expires tomorrow.
    I've tried restarting the app.  I've done a hard reset twice.  What should I try now?  (The movie was downloaded directly onto the ipad; it was not transfered via itunes.)

    Un-sync all your music to remove it from the device, then restart (hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until you see the apple, then let go). Now re-sync your music.

  • Firefox won't play Youtube videos or media videos

    It is 2 am and for almost a month now Firefox has slowly been degrading to the point of being completely and utterly useless. First, vine videos went. Then the weather.com videos stopped working. Every video based website online has stopped working right up to youtube finally cracking out today.
    Videos won't play. I run firefox in safe mode and STILL, videos show up as a black screen. I tried turning off 'hardware acceleration' in flash, still nothing. I tried clearing the cache, history, deleting firefox altogether and reinstalling.
    I'm running Windows Vista. Using Chrome, every video based site runs impeccably so it is definitely a Firefox conflict. I should probably just stop using firefox altogether, but I've been running it for years and it's what I'm used to. I'm getting down right sick of this though.
    Things I have tried:
    -Running in safe mode: Nothing
    -Clearing the cache/history: Nothing
    -Disabling add-ons one by one: Nothing
    -Disabling hardware acceleration on Flash: Nothing
    I don't know what else to do anymore.

    Update your Flash player. It is currently blocked because you have a vulnerable/blocked version installed.

  • Song purchased on iPad won't play on iMac

    If I purchase a song on my Mac via iTunes, then it plays fine on my iPhone or my iPad. Same if I buy a song with my iPhone. But on my iPad I purchased a song recently and it will only play on the iPad. The account is the same, and I can see the purchase in my account history if I look for it on itunes on my Mac. But if I try to play the song it tells me the Mac isn't authorized to play it (even after I re-authorized the Mac, just to give it a chance), and if I try to download it via the Mac, iTunes tells me the song isn't 'eligible for iCloud'.
    I think they all have the same share settings and iCloud settings, so I'm not sure why this one device is causing this problem on the other devices. Luckily, I rarely purchase music using the iPad, but in this case I did and now it won't play anywhere else. Thoughts?
    Thanks in advance.
    ETA: all devices are up to date with the most current versions of OS X and iOS.

    Yes there is.
    Go to the iTunes Store on your computer.  Click the "Purchased" link about halfway down on the far right side.  Click the "All" tab on top.  The song is there.  Re-download it.

  • Safari 3.2.1 Won't Play Youtube

    I can't seem to get Safari 3.2.1 to play Youtube videos. The entire page seems to load up OK just that the video part does not load.
    I've performed the following to no luck:-
    1.) Re-installed 3.2.1
    2.) Re-installed Adobe Flash
    3.) Full reset of Safari
    Take a look at the screenshot to give you a better idea as to what I'm facing.
    http://public.capkapak.fastmail.fm/Picture%201.png
    Anyone with any ideas?

    I just checked the URL on the YouTube page in your photo, and it worked fine for me - although I am not a great fan of butternut squash!
    So, we should be able to get it to work for you as well.
    When you say you reinstalled Flash, which version? I use version 10.
    It might be worth uninstalling, then reinstalling FlashPlayer again:
    The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
    http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
    (You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
    Note that Adobe requires you to uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
    http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
    and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

  • Safari won't play youtube videos anymore. I've never had trouble in the past. I switched to chrome but then back to safari and changed the default browser to safari. Now safari won't open any sites that require a user and password. Any suggestions?

    Hello everyone,
    I've recently been getting error messages on youtube videos when using safari. This never used to happen. I tried using chrome but it didn't take care of the problem. When I set my default browser back to safari, safari won't open any websites that require a username and password. Any suggestions?

    My case is different from those listed below.  First, I'm running OS X 10.8.5 and Safari 6.0.5.
    My problem is this:
    I run a Google search, say, "youtube somesong", and from the hit list returned from google I
    pick some selection. Youtube launches and plays the video without problems.  However, when
    i click on any of the alternate videos from the page's  vertical list, only the name of the chosen video
    appears beneath the video I just watched.  The new selection itself is not loaded by Safari.
    This occurs for any selection I choose.  My way around this problem is to force a Safari reload of
    the page by using the keyboard shortcut, Command-R.  This fills in the old video window with the
    video I just chose.  Can I conclude that this is a Safari issue alone, or is it a Safari/Youtube combo gotcha?  Anyway, the present condition *****.
    This problem began sometime after i upgraded to Mountain Lion.  I have reset Safari and have also
    deleted the Youtube.com Cache, Cookies, and Local Storage from the Privacy settings under
    System Preferences. I have also tested the problem by running Safari in 32 bit mode (no luck there).
    If anyone out there has experienced this scenario, I sure could use a little help here.
