My youtube videoes won't load. I have tried everything

Hi,
Recently when I click on a YouTube video, an error message shows on the screen saying: "An error occurred, please try again later. Learn more" with a black background. I am pretty sure all of you guys have experienced it at least once. However, this phenomenon occurs every time I click a video. I cleared my cookies, updated my Adobe flash player, enabled java script, and updated Firefox. But these did not solve my problems. Help me out please!

Hi junlee_23,
There are two work arounds that I know of. It is possible to disable hardware acceleration in Flash as well as disable flash player and try the HTML5 player.
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. [[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] 
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
In order to disable the player you can go to add ons and click on plugins. There you can set "Always Activate" to "Always Ask"
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

Certain Youtube Videos won't load anywhere.

Hello everyone.
Since a few days (I guess) I've encountered major problems with Youtube. Certain Videos won't load in Firefox. They just won't - they stay at the 0:00 mark and never move. I can see the first frame and I can even scroll through the frames, but it will never play. That isn't the case for every Youtube video, though. Most of them work fine, but a few of them have this problem. And the number of videos having this problem is raising fast. Even videos I could watch perfectly fine before simply won't work anymore.
And really - I am at my wit's end. I've tried every fix known to man (as far as I know). Cleared cache, cleared cookies, updated Flash, Firefox and every other program or plugin I know of, updated drivers, un- and reinstalled both Flash and Firefox completely, changing Flash's settings - but nothing works. These particular videos just never want to move.
And the funny thing is: It's is not even just a Firefox problem. It doesn't work on any other browser of mine. It doesn't even work on my other two computers. Not even on my Smartphone!! Once a video encountered this problem it is GONE FOREVER. I have no possibility to watch it anywhere. But it can't be the video. Because ~120.000 people have already watched it without having any problems.
Yeah, so why am I asking this in the Firefox forum? It's because Firefox was the browser which started it all and if Youtube would just work for Firefox - I'd be fine with that.
So if anybody can help me with this I'd be very, very grateful!
Regards, Megamag

After re-installing the software, did you perform a "hard reboot" on the machine? It could be that although you installed the updated version of Adobe flash player, the computer may not recognize the updated software until a cold reboot has been performed. Here is a link to a website I went to find this information:
[[Can't play Online Videos--Here's what to do|http://www.compukiss.com/videos/cant-play-online-videos-heres-what-to-do.html]]
Here is Adobe's website if you want to check to see if your adobe's Flash Player is updated:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Performing a cold reboot on your machine will reset the adapters and clear out the memory which will also enable the PC to recognize the new software installed. To perform a cold reboot on your machine:
1.) Go to the "Start Button" and press ''Shut Down."
2.) If you have a desktop, unplug the power cord and leave off for 10 seconds. If you have a laptop, remove power supply and battery for 10 seconds. (I leave mine off for at least 20 to 40 seconds myself.)
3.) Re-install the battery(laptop) and plug in the power cord.
4.) Boot the machine on.
Here are the links I used for this information:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/102228
http://www.ehow.com/how_2292987_cold-boot-computer.html
If this method doesn't work, then I would recommend going to your manufacturer's website and see if they can't help you resolve this issue with your videos not playing on your computer.

My youtube videos won't load. "an error occured, please try again later"

Hi,
I recently asked a questions saying:
"I click on a YouTube video, an error message shows on the screen saying: "An error occurred, please try again later. Learn more" with a black background. I am pretty sure all of you guys have experienced it at least once. However, this phenomenon occurs every time I click a video. I cleared my cookies, updated my Adobe flash player, enabled java script, and updated Firefox. But these did not solve my problems. Help me out please!"
Someone replied to my question, saying that I should disable my adobe accelerator, which I have done. However, the youtube videos still do not load and the error message keep coming up. I am getting really frustrated. I have tried everything. Please help me.

Same problem here, none of the posted solutions worked. :/ Everything up to date, safe mode or not, doing everything abive... still nothing. Videos show the loading animation for a little while, then "an error occurred..."

After installing Mozilla Firefox 20.0 with Adobe Flash Player 11.6, YouTube videos won't load properly.

YouTube videos worked fine before installing Adobe Flash Player. When installed the screen flickers after one second, rewinds to the beginning, then plays normally. This doesn't occur when I use Internet Explorer. I have reinstalled both Mozilla Firefox and Adobe Flash Player many times but nothing seems to work . Downgrading Adobe Flash Player didn't work either. It seems like Firefox is the problem but I'm not completely sure.

Hi All,
Thanks a lot "cor-el". I also suffered from the above issue. And after I disabled the protected mode by editing "mms.cfg" file the issue got resolved. Now flash player is working fine.

Certain youtube videos won't load

Certain videos on youtube will just not load at all despite the fact that they run perfectly in internet explorer.

Are that normal videos or special HTML5 videos?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

YouTube videos won't load; Adobe Flash not working

We just got the iMac and already we're having issues. Grrr... We cannot access any YouTube videos online - and when it says to download Adobe Flash 10, a screen comes up saying that Safari doesn't recognize Adobe Flash. I am beginning to regret switching from a PC. Any help or ideas? What am I doing wrong? Thanks,

You can try turning off the extensions by clicking on safari at the top left corner, then click on preferences, the click on extensions to the right and moving the switch to off
You can also try openning safari in 32 bit mode only
quit safari
click on finder
click on go at the top of the screen
click on applications
right click on safari
look for a triangle to the left of general
click on it to expand it
locate the box that says open it 32 bit mode and put a check mark in it
relaunch safari

Green screen Adobe Flash Videos, Windows 8.1, I have tried everything

It's a very annoying problem and i have read many forums to solve it but nothing.
I tried:
Disable Hardware acceleration
I disabled plug-ins because you have 2 flash plugins on chrome and they would conflict
I updated Adobe, Graphic drivers and Java.
I have tried other browser same problem

It's most likely a driver bug. Win8.1 is fairly new, and it will take some time for the drivers to fully mature. It would be helpful to know whether you're seeing these issues only in Chrome, or do you see the same problems in IE and Firefox?
Also, just to confirm, when you disabled Hardware Acceleration, did you do so by right-clicking Flash content, going to Settings, and unchecking Use Hardware Acceleration from the left-most tab, or did you do it by going to the Chrome menu bar > Settings > Advanced > System > Use Hardware Acceleration when available?
The following additional information would help us reproduce the issue and either fix it or escalate it to Nvidia:
1.) The output of the DirectX Diagnostic Tool. Launch a command prompt and type 'dxdiag'. Just choose save all information and paste the output, or a link to pastebin, etc.
2.) A direct link to a couple videos that demonstrate the problem.
Thanks!

Embedded YouTube videos won't load on sites.

Hello. For the past month or so, maybe more, embedded videos from YouTube have not displayed on any site in which I visit where they may be embedded. I am upgraded and currently using Firefox 24.0 and I'm on a Windows 7 64-bit desktop computer. Every time I go to a site with an embedded video, this error shows up where the embedded video would normally be: http://oi40.tinypic.com/2a4skzp.jpg (the picture shows a screenshot of one such site where an embedded video from YouTube was included). I'm already upgraded to the latest version of Adobe Flash Player, and even downloaded Flash Player -again- but to no such avail in fixing this problem. Can someone please tell me what's wrong?

Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration. Since this feature was added to Firefox, it has gradually improved, but there still are a few glitches.
You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
Then perform these steps:
*Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
*In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
*In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
*Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
* [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
* [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Did this fix your problems? Please report back soon.

Purchased TS008IQIQ804 PC, need to extend screen via s-video to another unit? Have tried everything.

Have uploaded all drivers, rebooted, double checked settings..........can't figure it out! Would appreciate any help........
Thank you

The IQ8xx series does not have an s-video output, so I don't know what kind of drivers and settings you could be checking.
You'll need a 3rd party aftermarket. USB to external video adapter.

Ipod Touch 4g won't respond, I have tried everything.

Hello,
I have a Ipod Touch 4g that I have had for about 8 months. One day it just turned off randomly. I didn't think much of after I reset it. Today it wouldn't stay on for more than 5 minutes because it was shutting down. I let it sit for a few hours, came back and reset it again since it had shut down. It started to boot normally until it switched to white-on-black format; it gave me a "Acitvation Required" messege in the middle of the lock screen. It also told me that voice over was on and told me how to turn it off, which I have never seen up to now on my ipod. After several resets it still did the same thing. I then tried to restore it, and now it stays on the black screen and won't reset, charge, or be recognized on any of my computers or itunes. I had it charged most of the way when all of this happened. Can anybody give me any advise as to how to get my ipod back up and running? Thank you for your time.

The output, AFAIK, is DVI or HDMI so u need a suitable cable and a suitable display, not a VT 100:)
I connect my m-mini to a DV TV for family viewing using a HDMI cable and a Thunderbolt cable for my TB screen

Iod Touch Problem with January Update - Won't load!! Tried Everything/

Dear all, Just thought I'd try my luck here for some help on the January upgrade. I'm experiencing all of the problems that everyone else are having but the usual fixes don't work. So I've upgraded my Touch to 1.1.3 and Itunes to 7.6.
The Download button wasnt visible so I reset my Touch. I was then able to purchase the touch and it downloaded. Then nothing. I had oricinally Synced with a different computer and had manual Syncronisation enabled. So, I reset my Touch again, set it to auto Sync and rebooted, re-synced, everything. Hours of trying different variations of restoring, syncing, etc. When I put my Ipod back in the cradle, I go to the purchase upgrade screen. If I hit "No Thanks, I get an error. If I try to purchase again, I get the message that it's already purchased. I've checked my download history and the upgrade is listed there.
I'm a windows/Intel guy and was starting to realise how cool Apple stuff was but well, now I think I'm starting to come back around.
Any suggestions ? Thanks to all and good luck!

Hi EC, thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, that doesn't work either. I've tried on two diferent computers too. Itunes 7.6 install, reset Touch, reinstall software, sync and no luck. I've double checked that my computer is authorised an that the January upgrade is in my purchase history. Even reset my touch via iTunes and via the Settings panel on the Ipod.
The only thing left that I can think of is to create a new account and re-purchase the upgrade. However, Im still not totally at ease with paying for an upgrade 2 weeks after the purchase, and Im not ready to pay for it twice.
Apple are you guys really this bad at running a business ? I will certainly with-hold purchasing any new product of yours in the future.
Cheers

Certain youtube videos won't play in Firefox

Firefox 20.0.1, windows 7, flashplayer up to date.
Certain youtube videos won't play. The advert beforehand plays, and then the video just displays a black screen, no loading, trying to skip to a later time in the video doesn't work. It seems to be certain youtube users whose videos won't play, users whose videos I was able to watch only yesterday. The featured video on the user's channel is watchable, but not when opened separately.
IE won't show the affected videos either.

In addition to these symptoms, I've noticed that I can view these troubled videos on my cellphone just fine, but neither my XP or Win7 machine, which have all software updated can view. So if it was on youtubes side, it wouldn't work on my phone either.

Using Captivate 5 videos won't load

I am publishing to the Flash format using Captivate 5.5. I've tried publishing with and without the skin, and either way, the videos won't load when I try to open them with a link to the website where they are posted. They do open if I double-click on the htm in a network file folder. I do not have this problem with older Captivate videos I created with Captivate 3. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why they won't open?

I found the answer to why my movie wouldn't play after publising.
Some smart user named nsukumar stated that if you used text animations it causes problems.
Sure enough, when I removed the text animation the finished results worked perfectly!
Thank you nsukumar where ever you are!

Streaming video won't load on two Thinkpads

Problem: Streaming video from two websites won't load on my T60 or X60; of the 5 computers I use daily, only my two TPads are affected. Having tried to troubleshoot this at several levels - I'm wondering whether there is something about ThinkPad proprietary software that could be the cause?
The two sites in question are Flash based: the New York Times, and bloggingheadstv.com/diavlogs/. Flashplayer 10 is installed properly on both machines (and has been uninstalled / reinstalled in attempt to solve the problem).
OS: Windows XP, SP2. Browser: Firefox, latest build (video won't load on IE6 or Safari either on these machines);
Internet Security Suite: Eset NOD32 (turning off firewall temporarily makes no difference);
Relevant add-ons: NoScript, Adblock. (Disabling them temporarily makes no difference).
Troubleshooting thus far: working with NoScript board on Mozilla, and the bloggingheads people at their site - no results.
Firefox error console turns up errors like these:

And thanks.

I have almost same problem in which I posted a thread about, and didn't get any answers. My videos show up in my library but won't transfer to my iPod. I get an error message saying: The iPod "Owner's Name iPod" cannot be updated. The required folder cannot be found. Also another one about the disc cannot be read from or written to. I only have 3 videos so I'm not too concerned because I can do without them but it's still a hassle. I am going to keep iTunes 7 and iPod 1.2 for now because that seems to be my only problem at the moment, instead of reverting back to previous versions.

My youtube videoes won't load. I have tried everything
