Safari and youtube problems

Ok...so i've had this problem before and i ended up uninstalling safari which turned out to be a bigger mistake until someone helped me to find the right download to restore it...but anyway since restoring the problem i'm about to describe hadn't come up until the last few days...so i'll describe it again here....
The problem seems to be directly related to youtube...but only with safari, as i've started using firefox (my back up browser) again when the problem comes up and i simply don't have the problem then....only with safari...so hopefully someone can help me troubleshoot and resolve the issue.
The problem starts with a general freezing of safari, but only when i'm watching a youtube video...and directly on youtube....in other words, embeded youtube videos at other sites don't seem to be an issue, but sometimes, not always and not on every video if i pull it up on youtube.com, the video screen remains a stagnant black...not thinking wheel or sound or static or anything, just a dead black window with no volume or any other controls.
So when i go to my subscriptions for excample, there are certain videos that that happens when i go to the vid page....i back out and retry and have tried to reload the page, etc, but to no avail....just a dead black screen. But then i can try the next video and it will work fine.....and the issue seems consistent with the same videos, tho those videos collectively are random...meaning not from the same poster, or not under a certain resolution setting or anything like that...so as an example, if video A and B and C play fine, then i get to video D and it doesn't work.....then A and B and C always work, and D always does not..... that's after shutting down safari and reopening it...after shutting down the computer and restarting it....the issue is persistent on whichever vids had th problem to begin with...so then i thought let's test with another browser and see what happens....it almost seems like those video's flash is not working...but only those specific videos and only on Safari...
So then i pull up firefox and they all play fine, noooo problem...period....no problem on firefox....so i've determined it somethin to do with Safari...but the what and the how to fix are my problem....has anyone else experienced this and maybe know how i can at least find an error log or something that i can post here it will help someone to help me fix it?
running safari 5.1.7 on os 10.6.8
Any help thqt isn't telling me to retry the things i've already tried here is greatly welcome and will get the Helpful button and hopefully teh problem solved button. Thanks!

sorry, did a search and nothting came up for some reason, but as i posted i see posts on the right that sound like my problems so i'm tryin them as i see them and updating my question accordingly.....said to turn off extensions...and that was my first solution the last time this happened, and they have never since been turned on....so they are already off....so that's not helping either...

Safari 8 and Youtube problems

Hello there. I'm a new Mac user (iMac 21,5" 2,7 GHz quad-core with Yosemite) and I just noticed this problem with Safari and Youtube videos. Sometimes, not always, HTML5 videos stutter at the very beginning (less than 1 second from the start), and the buffer bar comes back to zero, causing a little pause. After this, the video runs smoothly without any other stuttering. It doesn't happen on Chrome or Firefox. I tried to clear the cache, uninstall Flash (flash videos are not affected...), but nothing changed. It isn't a connection problem, cause, as I said, everything runs fine on other browsers. Any idea? Thanks a lot!

1. System Preferences > Flash Player > Advanced > Delete All
Press the "Delete All" button.
2. Safari > Preferences > Privacy
Press the button “ Remove All Website Data”.

Safari and YouTube disappear in my iPod when I up date iOS 6, do I have to reset my iPod?

Safari and YouTube disappear in my iPod when I up date iOS 6, do I have to reset my iPod?

Youtube was removed by Apple in iOS 6. Safari should not be removed. Try restoring your iPod in iTunes. You should then get Safari back. Also, there is a Youtube app in the App Store. It's in the free section of the Top 25.

Safari and Youtube can't connect to server

Safari and Youtube can't connect to server but I can use iTunes online store. Isn't that strange? Any ideas why?
I use static ip-adresses on my home network with a WEP 128bit security. I have entered all configuration that I enter under tcp/ip properties on my but there is one property on the touch that I don't recognise from my PC and that is someting that translated could be named "Search Domains". It's the last property under the static wireless config tab.

I have no idea what I am doing... but once i changed the proxy (HTTP) my life is just miserable, no sites open, like its really annoying. Do you know how to fix it.

On accident i deleted my itunes store, app store, safari, and youtube apps.

On accident i deleted my itunes store, app store, safari, and youtube apps on my ipod touch. how do i get them back?

None of those apps can be deleted. Have you moved them into a folder? Moved to a different page? Restricted them: Settings>General>Restrictions...are yours on? All of those apps restricted?

Ipad 2 and youtube problem?

Usually when you write something in youtube search box it gives u suggestions n u dont need to write the complete word or sentence..but this dont happen in youtube when i am using it on safari...i have to write the complete sentence...and this problem is not new...but if u use youtube on google chrome's app it works perfectly...but i usually use safari...and there is another problem..youtube buffers slowly on ipad even though my Wi-Fi signal is strong...tried everything reseting network settings, restarting ipad but no difference...any solution? :)

"Usually when you write something in youtube search box it gives u suggestions n u dont need to write the complete word or sentence..but this dont happen in youtube when i am using it on safari...i have to write the complete sentence..."
That doesn't happen when I use youTube thru Safari or the youTube app.. Typing into the search field provides suggestions.
"....and there is another problem..youtube buffers slowly on ipad even though my Wi-Fi signal is strong...tried everything reseting network settings, restarting ipad but no difference...any solution"
WiFi signal strength has nothing to do with Internet access speed. Slow buffering is usually caused by a slow Internet connection speed or Internet congestion or, sometimes, router problems. Measure your Internet speed using the SpeedTest App.

Safari and flash problem!

ok, i have a website running, it is done in flash
professional 8 and i have flash player 9 installed. It works fine
on internet explorer, loads up and everything runs great.
I then tried it on safari and it loads up straight away
although when i click on the links they dont respond or when they
do they go to somewhere else, like a scene i have not linked it to.
Reason i think it is doing this is because it isnt properly
loaded, it says its loaded and the bar finishes loading but doesnt
work correctly, if it is then left for a little while it works
fine.. so i really don;t know what is going on.
It works fine on an apple mac in preview mode, it is just in
safari that is causing problems, the mac has flash player 9 also so
i don;t know what to do now...
how can i get round this because its been causing problems
for ages now, basically its saying it has loaded and it hasnt
properly, and therefore the links are not functioning correctly...
this is what i think anyway.
any help or ideas?

I found a solution to the issues with the 9r115 release of
Flash player. I got it to install on my G5 iMac (OS X 10.4.11). The
issue is that your regular ID needs to have admin privileges for
Flash to install and run correctly. I have two (2) user IDs on my
machine at home - a regular ID (with no admin privileges) for daily
use and one I use for admin stuff (for doing software updates and
installs). (I think it was recommended to split things up this
way).
I was able to download and install Flash Player 9r115 using
my admin account and Safari (I'm using the latest 3.1) correctly
recognized it was there when I went to places that require Flash
(cnn.com, scifi.com) - but did NOT recognize it when I went to
those same sites under my regular ID.
I also went to Disk Utility and did a Repair Permissions -
the Flash installer apparently mucks around with the permissions,
and repairing them seems to fix things.
Also, I used the Accounts area of System Preferences to turn
on the admin rights under my regular ID (logged out and in) and
then Flash worked correctly with Safari at the web sites that
require it.
So the workaround for 9r115 seems to be:
1) make sure your Mac logon ID has admin rights to the box
(this may not be needed).
2) download and install the Flash player
3) run Disk Utility to repair permissions
4) restart your browser
FYI, this also fixed issues I had with Adobe Acrobat Reader
where I had to logon to my admin ID to do check for and install
updates. Now with machine admin rights on my regular ID, I can
download and install updates (I had 8.1.1, now I have 8.1.2)

Safari and airport problems

Safari started about a month ago getting hung up when loading, ending up with just not loading at all. Then I started getting messages that I was unable to join my network. I can get online at my office wirelessly(different network)but Safari is still very slow. At home, with my linksys router and Time Warner cable modem, I now only occasionally can get online.When I do get online, Ichat crashes continuously. My desktops work, and my husband's wireless radio works, but not my laptop. I have tried resetting router, called cable company and they said modem was fine. I removed plists and favicons, reset Safari, and added Open DNS numbers, which I later removed because it made connecting worse. I have run Disk Utility and repaired preferences. What is left??? I am reluctant to do the reinstall/archive. Pros and cons of this course of action? Sally

I had the Safari problem in terms of it getting hung up while loading web addresses and had to go through diagnostics every time I moved the laptop from office network to home instead of it switching automatically. How do I tell if Little Snitch is still there? I can see it in the download queue, but no where else. Also, even tho I have to switch manually to the office network and Safari is slow, at least I stay online here without Safari stopping or getting error messages, which makes me wonder if my router is messed up and contributing to problems. I have reset and unplugged my home router with no apparent effect. Sally

Intel imac G5, Safari and Godaddy problems

I have an intel imac G5 with OS 10.4.5 with Safari 2.0.3 and can not access my GoDaddy hosted website directly or with forwarding (on or off)...
I can however access the GoDaddy hosted website with my imac G5 (non-intel) with the same version Mac OS and Safari and with a Windows computer.
I can only assume this is a problem with my intel imac?
Another weird problem...my site is still on an SBC webhosting.com hosting server and I can only access the SBC hosted site with Safari not the Godaddy site. SBC has not cancelled the account and has not taken the old site down as of yet.
I have tried clearing the cache, Firefox, and pinging the godaddy site ip address.
Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

very strange...right after I posted, I received an intel mac security upgrade...installed it and the problem was fixed...wow...
sorry for the post...

Safari and Network problem

I have an MBP and a iMac 24" both Intel core 2 duo computers connected wirelessly to a BT home hub etc. I also have a MBP 2.16g Intel Duo.
The core 2 duo MBP and Imac both have network and browser issues where the older MBP is ok.
The network drops out and I have to reset them to re connect.
Safari and Firefox wont allow me to login to some web sites with user names and passwords like ebay where as the old MBP will login with no problems
Any ideas, all are up to date and checked for viruses etc

The probable culprits could be:
1. Preference files are damaged
2. Cache file corruption
3. Incompatible Contextual Menu Items
4. Incompatible Input Managers
5. Incompatible Internet Plug-ins
6. Bad Startup Items
7. Incompatible Preference Panes
These for starters. They would be items in the /Home/ or /Home/Library/ folder. I would suggest you start by installing AppleJack - VersionTracker or MacUpdate - then following the instructions to boot into single-user mode and run the AppleJack routines - use the automatic mode.
For Safari I would try clearing its history and other caches.

Safari and Firefox problems: hotmail, facebook ect. don't work

I am having all sorts of problems with Safari and Firefox. I cannot get on hotmail, facebook and many other sites, but I can use google, just half the links won't load. Ran diagnostics, reset safari, uninstalled and reinstalled firefox. Have no idea what to do next. Any suggestions??

Erin...
Empty your browser caches more often.
Deleting cookies may help also. Go to ~/Library/Cookies. Move the Cookies.plist file from the Cookies folder to the Trash.
~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
If emptying the cache nor deleting cookies helped, try Safari in another user account.
If you have the same problems there log back into your admin account.
Launch Disk Utility. That's located in /Applications/Utilities
Select the startup disk in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab.
Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions)
If the disk needs repairing follow the instructions for Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks

Safari And YouTube HD Videos

I have just discovered something very interesting. When I access HD YouTube videos using Safari, I am only given two options, 360p and 480p. I opened up Firefox 3.6 and Opera 10.10 (both the latest versions of the browsers) and I had the option of watching it in 720p also. Has anyone else noticed this with Safari and is there a setting that I can enable in Safari to watch HD YouTube videos in 720p? If not, thank goodness I have other browser options.

HI David,
Might some info here.

Safari and Java Problem

Hi,
I'm having a problem with the newest updates to Safari. This problem did not occur until late december when I installed several updates via Software Update.
Problem:
I use a photo uploader on a website from my company (unfortunately I can't give out the URL, as it is protected). But it is similar to many other photo uploader sites - load a Java applet, drag images files into a Java window, the files are added to a upload list and then uploaded.
Now, if I drag 10 items into the window, only one or two will be added to the list. If I drag them in one at a time, all the images will be added. Previously it was possible to drag as many as one wanted in.
Now the really irritating part : During the upload, the Java uploader completely hijacks Safari. The window the uploader allways stays active on top. If I open a new tab or window the uploader window will reappear on top and dominate the action. The only way to get anything done while I am uploading photos is to open another browser like Firefox. Safari is completely occupied with the Java program.
Computer: MBP 2.16 GHz, 2GB RAM, OSX 10.4.11
Safari 3.0.4
Java 5.0 (not sure of the revision, but it is the most recent)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I had similar Java problems with Safari and Firefox. I downloaded Navigator and now can run any Java app I need. One thing that may or may not have had any impact: when installing Nav, it asked if I wanted to import settings from Safari or Firefox. I chose not to import any settings. Works perfectly.

App Store, Safari, and Netflix Problems, please help

Im showing a strong wifi connection with my ipad 2, but when trying to access itunes or the app store, the pages wont fully load. Some of the thumbnail images will only show ? Marks and sometimes page wont even load at all until i try it again. Same happens in safari and netflix. My iphone 4 is working fine however when just on wifi. Ive tried resetting network, hard resets and a bunch of other tricks, but nothing working. Some apps are working fine, but why would this be happening with itunes, safari, and netflix? Does anyone have a solution?

I see you wrote your question at 1:05 AM. Chances are it didn't get read much as some of us who spend a great deal of time here helping people, just might have been asleep. Sarcasm won't help you much.
Now, have you actually fully closed the apps, then reboot? To fully close the apps, go to your home page, then double tap your home button to bring up the task bar (most recently used apps). Hold your finger on any of the recently used apps until they all start to jiggle. You'll see a on the top left of each app. Touch the minus on each of the apps you're having trouble with to fully close them. Then touch your home button once more to stop the apps from jiggling and then again, to return to your home page.
Then, do the hard reset (in case you didn't do it properly). Press and hold BOTH the home and power buttons at the SAME time for at least 10 seconds (ignore the red slider) until the Apple Logo appears, then let go of both buttons and your iPad will restart.
Try the apps after your iPad comes back up and hopefully, they will work correctly.
