Problem with Youtube videos loading...

I have had problems with Youtube since I have gotten my new Mac in November. (My old Mac would play them fine.) The videos will start loading and then stop. If I want to continue trying to watch a video I have to move the button around on the bottom to the right, and then back to the left. This does not always work though. The thing is, though, that it works at my school's campus. Just not at my house. However, I can watch Youtube videos on my mom's Sony Vaio. What can I do?

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
YouTube streams some video content using the Flash Player plugin. Try uninstalling then reinstalling a new copy of the plugin.
Uninstall Flash
Install Flash
Then Disk Permissions
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and *restart your Mac.*

  • Having lagging problems with YouTube videos, it simply takes so long for the red bar to completely load and the videos frequently pause and take too long to restart playing again.

    I have been having lagging problems with YouTube videos for a number of months now. It simply takes so long for the red bar to completely load and the videos frequently pause and take too long to restart playing again. Even with little 2 and 3 minute videos.
    I have a fast computer and my webpages load really, really fast. I have FireFox 4 browser and a Vista Home Premium 64-bit OS. So I don't have a slow computer or web browser. But these slow YouTube vids take way too long to load for some reason.
    Does anyone have any idea how I can speed up YouTube?

    Hi
    The forums are customer to customer in the first instance, Only the mods (BT) will ask for personal information through a email link. Would you mind posting your Hub stats & BT speed test results this will help all with diagnosis-
    To post the full stats from your router
    for home hub - 192.168.1.254
    Navigate to ADSL Settings or use the A-Z at the top right
    Click on More Details and then post the results.
    Run BT speed tester and post the results from http://speedtester.bt.com/
    If possible it would be best to connect to the BT master socket this will rule out any telephone/broadband extension wiring also consider the housing of the hub/router as anything electrical can cause problems as these are your responsibility, if these are found to be the case Openreach (engineer) will charge BT Broadband, which will be passed onto you, around £130.00.
    Noisy line! When making telephone calls, if so this is not good for your broadband, you can check-
    Quite line test dial 17070 option 2 and listen - should hear nothing best done with old type analogue phone digital (dect) will do but may have slight hiss If you hear noise- crackling pops etc, report it as a noisy line on your phone, don’t mention broadband, Bt Faults on 151.
    As for your FTTC its available in some areas between 40% & 80% of customers in enabled areas can receive it!

  • I have a problem with youtube video's.

    Hello,
    Recently this problem keeps occuring.
    Whenever I "watch" youtube video's they load for a while and then just jump back and are stuck there and keep giving this loading icon.
    I did a Format C a while ago to re-install Mountain Lion and it still occurs...
    I also tried re-installing flash player, does anyone have any idea what to do?
    I'm a new OS X user and I love my macbook pro, but this is something I really don't understand while it's doing it.

    I know you said you reinstalled flash player but try again
    Uninstall adobe Flash player and re install and check the settings

  • Facebook videos not playing in firefox. IE plays them fine, also no problem with youtube videos in firefox.

    Facebook videos are not playing in firefox, it plays youtube videos fine. The fb videos start to load and after that just a black screen remains.
    No such issues in IE, I've no addons installed, flash player is latest, and tried by enabling/disabling the block popups option.
    Thanks in advance.

    You can try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.

  • Problems with Youtube videos posted through Facebook

    On my iPad1, since installing iOS5,  happens this:
    when I'm on Facebook,  accessed through Safari (I'm not accessing through Fbook app),  I can see all messages and Youtube videos posted by my friends.  Only problem is that the Youtube videos are now much larger and they cover comments made by my friends and also the chances to Comment, share etc etc that are usually found under videos or pictures posted.  Obviously this did not happen with the previous iOS.
    Any suggestions ??
    thanks

    nobody really can answer this question, have posted a lot of questions in a forum. did a full restore, no backups, to no avail. i hope apple will do something about this. i hate to see youtube thumbnails covering some texts in facebook. by the way, have you already had this fixed?

  • Router WRK54G problems with youtube video

    The problems we are experiencing is that viewing any videos from youtube is terribly slow. We would like to know how we can configure the router in order to enjoy youtube. Thank you for your attention.

    What broadband bandwidth did you subscribe to? 256 kbps, 512 kbps or 1 mbps? Anyway, easiest way to alleviate your concern would be to play with the MTU values that your router has. To do that, log-in to the router page. That is open up a web-browser (IE or Firefox would do), type 192.168.1.1 on the address bar, username leave it blank, password as a default is admin... this should bring you to the router set-up page.
    On this particular page, look for the MTU, set it to manual, and try setting the value to either 1400, 1350 or 1300 (save the settings after changing). Try them 1 by 1 and see w/c works well w/ your YouTube connection.

  • Problem with youtube and other video websites

    I have a problem with youtube and other video websites:
    Everything is up to date (flash, FF, my plug ins..) but i keep getting freezes when the video loads. I can hear sound but i can only see the first frame of the video.
    I've reinstalled flash/firefox or tried updating them again for about 4 times now and my cookies/cache has also been errased which i usually don't do. If i enter FF's safe mode it also freezes.
    I hope someone could help out, i've searched for answer on google before and tried everything i saw but it didn't helped.
    grts,
    agrash

    Hmm, so that person had a conflicting plug in.
    Problem is that whenever i enter firefoxes safe mode which disables every plug in, i still have the youtube freeze/crash

  • I have a problem with youtube...i can't watch some videos from youtube! They stop after few seconds of playing!! what can i do to fix it?

    I have a problem with youtube...i can't watch some videos from youtube! They stop after few seconds of playing!! what can i do to fix it??

    Try loading the same video in different browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Safari and Internet Explorer are your best options). If the issue is across all of them, make sure you've downloaded the latest version of Flash at http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    If it's still stopping after that...Do the tried and tested method for everything: reset your router.

  • I'm having problems with Flash Videos (Youtube and ESPN)

    I have been having this problem for the last couple of days now and it is really annoying. Whenever I watch a flash video like on youtube or espn my computer freezes up and the audio will make a loud buzzing sound. I have attached a video with the post so you can see what happens. I don't have problems with anything else except this. I also get this error no matter what browser I use. I have system restored my PC as far as I can go, and I've ran a ton of scans and driver update checks and nothing seems to work.

    merci a tous pour les nombreuses réponse. j'ai dû mal a les lire vue que je ne lit que le français. je vous remercié encore une fois amicalement. Blanchette 2.
