Problems with Youtube thumbnails

I am having problem with Safari while browsing Youtube thumbnail images, they either load really slow or not at all. The strange thing is Firefox browser loads them all instantly. Does anyone else have this problem?
I am using an AirPort connection to a 2wire 2700HGV-B modem/router.
iMac Intel, 2 foot, 2.16GHz, 1GB Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Hello Doug,
This sounds a little like a problem we had with wireless connectivity. The setup is via a landline broadband modem, and a wireless router. When we downloaded much, especially video, it would seem that Safari froze until I turned Airport off and then back on.
The problem went away when we went into the settings for the wireless router and the landline broadband router, and disabled the facility for the routers to act as a server.
Maybe your setup is different; but if it's similar, you could try that.
Best wishes from Ireland,
Martin

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

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.

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.*

Problems with YouTube - iPad app and Safari on iPad

Recently, I have started to encounter problems with YouTube on the iPad. The first is the desktop version of YouTube on safari. At first it worked fine, but a few days ago, whenever I try to watch a video, the playing area stays black and a message appears saying 'This video is currently unavailable.' One 'solution' I found online was to switch to the HTML5 video player in 'TestTube.' However, as the videos had been working before I didn't see why it was necessary, and anyway when I tried it only a few videos worked, with the rest showing the same message I described earlier. The mobile version of the YouTube site woks fine.
The second problem lies with the subscriptions feature of the YouTube app. When I tap the subscriptions button, not all of them show up. I've tried finding a video by the user I want to subscribe to, tapping 'More From', followed by 'Subscribe,' but this brings up the error message 'YouTube not avaliable.' Subscribing to any other channel from the app works fine.
Thanks - any help with either porblem would be greatly appreciated! I don't really want to go to the Apple store, and my free telephone support that came with the iPad finished some time ago.

OMG Apple, I'm am fed up with this stupid YouTube problem I paid $500 for my iPad if not more, and I expect better! I cannot view official music videos, episodes and I can't even view 2 out of 10 videos I search for. stop trying to make people buy from your stupid iTunes store and let them be able to view all videos on YouTube. Anyone who asks me if I'd recommend and iPad, you know what I say? Its not worth the money because the reason I got an iPad was being able to have freedom just like a pc and clearly I don't have that. They ask me; can an iPad do everything a pc can do, and I say no it can't, all because I can't view videos properly on YouTube. I'm 15 and saved for an iPad and it took me 2 years, $500 I regret spending!
Kind regards

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!

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?

Bridge CS4 - problem with yellow thumbnails

I've installed Bridge and Photoshop CS4 and am having a problem with very yellow thumbnails (I still have CS3 installed and this is NOT happening there with the same images). I'm running on a a Windows Vista Service Pack1 platform. When I download my images from my Nikon D300 NEF and jpg files they look fine on the card and the download selection screen in Bridge but when they are downloaded they are VERY yellow (both NEFs and jpgs). The minute I open them in Photshop CS4 they are fine with no adjustments necessary. Does anybody have any ideas?
j.
PS - with 4G Ram both programs are running noticibly faster than CS3 on the same machine - that's a good thing!

If you use the embedded jpeg do you still get yellow thumbs? Don't have CS4 but that option is under workspaces quick link I think.
If so if they were just RAW images you would need to tweek the ACR default settings.

I have been having problems with YouTube functionality when using Firefox, some of them having begun with the latest Firefox update

After a fairly recent update, I began having the option to paste text disappear, I've had backspace cause the browser to go back to the previous page while in a text box, and other issues which are apparently a matter of Firefox not recognizing the fact that I am typing in a text box.
After the last update, suddenly YouTube video page URL links no longer translate into links containing the title of the video, and also things like the use of bookend asterisks in order to have text appear in bold typeface no longer work.

i have the same problem with the above..firefox is running too slow with the games in facebook..but it runs good when browsing my updates, msgs, photos...firefox is totally opposite of IE..IE is faster with the games and slow while browsing..i love to use mozila but when i do games it really pisses me off...hope you could help me..

Problems with youtube

It isnt only an issue with youtube, which makes me think that it is a safari problem. whenever i want to see any videos online, the place where they should be on the page is just blank. also, i keep "installing" a flash player, but it keeps telling me nothing is installed.

I guess I don't have 3G just ordinary internet my mobile operator provides, but I have a subscription plan with 3Gb of included data which I can't use because my cell stops working after 5 minutes. That means if the video is longer than 5 minutes. I can watch though as many videos as I want if they are shorter than 5 minutes.
I don't know if my Nokia isn't good enough for more than 5 minutes of youtube, because my sister has HTC and with my sim card in it youtube on my sister's cell worked without any problem.

Any body has the same problem with youtube ?

I'm having issues with the video playback on YouTube... it load OK then as I'm watching it the video part freezes as the audio continue. I have a brand new MacBook Pro 13" with 4 GB ram and Core i5 running at 2.5Ghz so there should be no problem with it...
My old PC laptop although slow was playing videos almost perfectly with 3GB of ram and Core 2 processor running at 2 Ghz. On both machines I'm accessing YouTube via Safari as I was running it on the PC as well.

To answer a response that I got yes Flash player is the latest version. I just purchased the laptop few days ago and the first time I went on to the YouTube site it promted to install Flash Player in order to watch any video there on the site...
I have just installed few extensions to Safari from Apple and one of them is called "
ClickToFlash "
And that seems ok now... That might have fix the problem who knows... Will find out won't we.
I've also installed another called "
clea.nr Videos for YouTube™ "
I like the way it displays the videos without all the clutter around on the page. So I keep my fingers crossed for things to go smothly.

Problem with generating thumbnails for Facebook

After yesterday's Business Catalyst failure (Intermittent site loading issue on all data centers) we have a problem with thumbnails for Facebook.
Our each publication has an extra tag og:title placed in the <head>. For example in this article: http://www.leftlane.pl/lip14/zanizanie-przebiegu-samochodu-w-koncu-stanie-sie-niemozliwe.h tml
there is tag <meta property="og:image" content="http://www.leftlane.pl/lip14/images/364994_8207.jpg" />
Until yesterday, every published text was getting into debugger (https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/). Debugger fetch the image creating a thumbnail. Everything worked as it should.
Unfortunately, after yesterday's failure thumbnails are no longer generated. In place of the thumbnail is a white spot, like in the picture below. Can I do something to thumbnails work again?
We are using Adobe Muse (2014.1).

Just a word of warning about this facebook tester, facebook caches results for sometimes upto 48 hours, so if index the page using facebook then make a change on a page then reindex most of the time (in my dealings) it looked the same, I had to throw different querystring information into the URL or use different URLs to make it look different to facebook and get a fresh (re)index and for it to pick up changes.

Problems with youtube in firefox with windows 8 and 8.1

Lately i sell some computers with windows 8, and windows 8.1, so they are fresh install. and i have problems with the videos under youtube, but just with firefox, with chrome works ok, with internet explorer the same, no problem. The problem when i'm using the pluging of flash, is the next:
start the reproduction of the video with the default resolution in my case of 360, but after of a few seconds, 6 or 7, the reproduction jump to the lower resolution available (240 by example), and after other few seconds, do the same jump to a lower resolution, few seconds againd and jump to higher resolutions available, maybe 480, and so until try with every resolution available in the video and after of that show the next message:
"Se ha producido un error, vuelve a intentarlo mas tarde"
The messaage is in spanish because i'm using spanish versions to sell, well, just say that a error arised and try later.
well i think maybe problems with the pluging of flash, i will try with the html5 support, then i enable the html5 support in youtube.
And still with problems but a little different the video start with the default resolution (360), and after a few seconds maybe 3 or 4, the video stop, maybe 1 second and later continue by other 2 or 3 seconds of video and stop again other second, and continue on this way until the end of the video.
I dont have problems with the network, i can see the videows without problems with other computers in the same network, or with mobile devices, but the problem is just with firefox.
Isnt virus, because the installation is clean, i dont have extra software because the first times i think that would be by a extra software, then just clean installation of windows 8 and 8.1 and firefox, the problem i try versions since the 29 until now that the latest is the 33, the same problem, exactly in the same way, and doesn't help of nothing update the drivers of the motherboard or even install every update of windows.
Procesador Intel(R) Pentium(R) CPU G2030 @ 3.00GHz
motherboard gigabyte GA-H61M-DS2
MEMORY 4gb RAM DDR·3
Hard disk 500GB Seagate.
with this same configuration i dont have problem if i have installed windows 7.
I guess isnt a problem of hardware, because the other browsers can display the videos without any problem.
- the latest version of mozilla firefox in every time.
- I try every thing, clear cache, disable acceleration, update drivers, update windows, uninstall and reinstall, even format the machine again.
I see other posts of people with similar problems, but without 1 good answer, just a lot of general solutions that doesnt work.
i must confese that i dont test yet with other hardware and same software.
I hope someone can help me.
No big problem for me, because i dont use these computers, but i like use firefox, and if i had that problem in my computer i would be crazy trying to find a fix to the problem.

The data of my firefox is this one, dont know if this can be of utility, in this moment i install the addblock, but the problem was since the installation was clean. then this doesnt affect in the result.
Thank's
