Mac OS 10.6.8 can't watch youtube videos, black screen, no sound, nothing happens w/click.

Not real computer savy but this happened all of the sudden. Tryed going back and watching videos I've watched before. No go. Tryed uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe a couple of times with restart, no change. Made sure my apple updates were up to date, nothing.
There was some direction on YouTube to try right clicking or ctrl clicking on the video and it'll bring up a certain menu where you can select to watch the video a different way. Tryed that, and the menu options they say should come up, don't come up.
I can't figure it out. Help would be much appreciated as it's driving me nuts.
Thank you!

You rock Clinton! It was F*king Safari messing up my mojo. Man, I just spent... 5 hours of pure frustration. Thank you so much, you've gotta have some good karma coming your way for that.
So, installing Firefox did the dealio for me on this one.
Now I can watch fun videos like;

I can't watch YouTube videos on my brand new MacBook Pro with Lion. It says I need to download Adobe Flash Player but that won't install. Help!

The same thing happens to me, Safari asks me to update the Adobe FlasPlayer, I download, start the installation process, ask me my username and password in order to install, then see a window where I choose if I want to always install the updates , or ask first, or not inslate updates, and at this point it is not progress, I can not cancel the process, I turn off and turn on my machine.
What can I do ..??

Ok.... so what specifically is the problem? What happens when you try to watch YouTube videos?

My Macbook Pro has a black screen when running in Bootcamp Windows 7. Since I updated the mac side my windows side now starts up with completely black screen - no prompt, nothing, Cap keys still light up as does mouse and DVD drive seems to run.

Will not show up in safe mode, will not show when started from Windows 7 DVD.
I suspect the Mac update wiped out my PC video drivers but can not think of a way to re-install?
Can see the PC volume from Mac side with files.
I've looked at all the online solutions so far and have tried most of them without success. Please help!

Specifically, the posts by Dunsany and valkyr did the trick. I booted in safe mode, uninstalled and deleted the Nvidia driver, disabled automatic driver installation, and restarted normally. I then manually downloaded and installed the previous Nvidia driver for my graphics card (which at the time of this writing was 335.23, rather than the latest which was 337.88), and everything is now bueno!
Two hiccoughs along the way: First, when I tried to uninstall the Nvidia driver the first time, when I restarted I got the login screen (which was a good sign), but it quickly went black again. I powered down, restarted in safe mode again, and repeated the uninstallation process, and it worked the second time. Second, when I started the manual install of the 335.23 driver, the computer played a sound similar to the one for disconnecting a USB device, and the screen went black. I'd seen a lot about trying to increase the brightness (though it hadn't worked up to this point; but if you haven't tried it yet, might as well); I tried it, and it worked! So far I'm back up and running. [/fingers crossed]
Hope this helps someone else!

HOW CAN YOU WATCH YOUTUBE VIDEOS WITH CC ON? THIS FRUSTRATES ME A LOT. THANKS.

So, I am kinda confused. I searched around the net and all that, and I found out that there's this thing in setting where you turn on the "closed-captioning". So I turned it on and tried watching videos in YouTube but IT didn't work. Also, I remember one time that I can use CCin YouTube. it's weird.
I remember that they said if the Cc were encoded in quicktimes you can see the CC but if it's flash you can't. So I figured it's impossible to watch YouTube videos with CC. However, if anyone knows another way to watch with CC on YouTube, tell me please. Thanks.

Sorry, but I don't know if there is a way.
Also, just to be picky....would you be kind enough to avoid using all caps in your title?

Can't watch youtube videos on my new toshiba laptop.

Hi guys,
I can't seem to run youtube videos on my toshiba L750/OLN laptop. Everytime I try to run a video, the youtube screen stays black and an error message appears. Also in the right corner, it saids something about Adobe Flash Player not being supported by Toshiba Media control Plug in. Please help, I've tried different browsers and the same problem still exists. I've also tried disabling Media controller and reinstalling adobe, but nothing seems to work at the moment.

Satellite L750/0LN (PSK2YA-0LN028)
Please attach a picture of the error message. Are you trying to run in full screen - or just to run it?
Is that 32-bit Windows 7?

Watching YouTube video full screen while working in other monitor

So after upgrading to Mavericks when I have a Chrome browser window with a youtube vidoe loaded and I click to watch fullscreen my other monitor is taken over with a grayed out background. Quicktime started doing this awhile back, and Vimeo used to do it in Mountain Lion when it was embeded in another site, but if I went to Vimeo.com to watch a video this didn't happen. How do I change this?
FYI, I have all Mission Control / Spaces options unchecked as I don't use that and don't want multiple Menu bars and whatnot.

Hi, I just re-read you previous post.
You said,
Im using Google Chrome latest version and my mac is a mid 2011 mac book pro running max os x 10.8.5
I presumed that you were using OS X 10.9.x as we are in the Mavericks (10.9) forum area, not the Mountain Lion (10.8) forum area.
This changes things a little.
In Mountain Lion, Apple's implementation for multiple displays is a little different to Mavericks, where both displays share the same 'space' so it is an extended display setup. Mavericks allows each display to have its own space, thereby allowing each dislay to act independantly of each other. This is where I did my brief test.
Due to Mountain Lion's limitation, I think what you are seing is expected behaviour. Any Full Screen app will result in the other display to be greyed out.

Experiencing resolution glitches when watching Youtube videos. Screen will glitch out, strange shift in screen orientation, as well as total resolution failure. Any wisdom on how to overcome this?

I have a Macbook Pro Early 2011, and am currently at 69 GB free on the 400 GB space. When I play Youtube Videos or visit websites which stream video, as well as when I run certain high graphics applications (games particularly), the resolution will just crash.
I have read a bit about this online, and have found that it has to do with the CPU and GPU being under heavy load. I think it's a bit silly that the Macbook Pro can't handle a Youtube video, however, so I hope that I may be able to remedy the problem.
Thanks for the help.

Flash Player is 'embedded' into Chrome - and sometimes that's not a good thing. Right now Chrome has the largest market share in the browser wars, though, so I suppose they've some success with the embedding of the player.
Personally, I use Firefox and have had no problems. Safari is good, I just prefer the support of Firefox (which doesn't work with some other Adobe plugin for inline PDF viewing, though).
I don't know why you're having trouble with Chrome - it is very graphics intensive, I know, and has 'broken' in the past with some GPUs. I'd just make sure that you've the latest version of Chrome and if you still have problems, just use Safari or Firefox.

I can't watch youtube videos, and when I try my computer makes awful glitch sounds. Is there a way to fix this myself without bringing my macbook in?

I have had my macbook for about half a year. I love anything anime and comic book related except a lot of those websites are unsafe and you get redirected and forced to click "Okay". Youtube was working just fine, until I went to one of those plagued websites and now youtube is a slow and glitchy mess, I can no longer watch videos. I can't click play, and my mac makes awful noises as it tries to play the videos. I have already restarted, updated flash player, and I even updated the software of my laptop, but to no avail.

Setup two new accounts. One as Guest where whatever you do is "lost" (not saved) when you log out. Setup another as "Standard" user. You do not want to be using your computer as Administer account except when doing OS updates or the like.
You should / could / would have been wise to clone your system "back when everything was fine" - usually right after setting up with the OS and Apple's updates.
You upgraded to Yosemite. Consider redownloading Yosemite and saving and create a flash install.
Also backup all your media files - though malware can live inside media files depending on how and where obtained.
Adware is only one part of the puzzle.

Can't watch youtube videos on my blackberry 9360 curve

Hi everyone
I could watch videos on youtube, but about 2 days i can't. I can get to the page but it doesn't open the video (no hand on the preview but the arrow). I can open a video from Google when i open it from a link. I had a problem with the message "uncaught exception: Java.lang.Error" but it is solved now, with a complete delete. Also how can i get back the youtube icon? It wasn't an app i think. Can anyone help me?
Thanks
Solved!
