Safari cannot play videos from youtube or other websites

Hello,
I recently tried to go online to view a video for my class. However, when I clicked on the link, it just was a blank screen. When I tried to go to Youtube and watch videos, I got a blank black screen where the video should be. Can you help me please? Thanks.

HI and welcome to Apple Discussions...
Uninstall then reinstall the most recent version of Flash which you need for YouTube.
Uninstall Flash
Install the most recent version of Flash here.
Now repair disk permissions.
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.

I cannot play videos from youtube on firefox but it wont play

every time i try and play youtube videos on firefox the video box goes white. ive installed flash plug ins and the latest flash player but it still doesnt work

Try clearing the Cache in Firefox.
Tools-> Clear Recent History -> [v] Cache
or
Tools->Options->Advanced->Network -> Offline storage -> [Clear Now]
Youtube may have made some changes recently. Clear the Youtube cookie if above does not do it.

Mozilla fox won't play videos on YouTube and other websites. Why is this?

I went onto YouTube and tried to watch videos but a message popped up where the video would be and said to check back later. I went on google chrome and it played immediately so I know it wasn't something wrong with YouTube. I have the latest version of adobe flash player so what else could be wrong?

You can check for problems caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and possibly downgrade to Flash 11.2 or 10.3.

Ziatron is correct that Flash does not work on an iPad, but it does work on a Mac. See Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.160.

Try to download the application VLC.
It is a media player that should be able to play any audio or video file you may have. If your videos play flawlessly using that application, then the issue is with iTunes and Quicktime, as they are both essentially similar software types when it comes to playing media.
In that case you may need to install a plug-in file called Perian, in order for the videos to play correctly within iTunes or at least Quicktime...

Usually, that's due to a DivX plug-in or Safari extension... start with Safari - Preferences - Extensions & switch them off. If nothing there, see Safari - Help - Installed Plug-ins & note any that are for DivX.

Firefox won't play videos from YouTube, Hulu, etc. w/latest Flash version.

Despite following both Firefox and Flash directions, Firefox won't play videos from YouTube, Hulu, etc. They either never load or they load and freeze within seconds. Before I got the latest versions of Firefox and Flash, I did not have this problem. So there must be a problem in one or both of them. Since I understand from various websites that this is a widespread problem, can Firefox fix this? It's a major flaw in the latest Firefox version.

'''If you are running Adblock Plus...'''
While on a YouTube page, right click the ABP icon and "open blockable items".
When the window opens at the bottom of the page, right click this line: http://s.ytimg.com/yt/swfbin/watch_as3-vfl9DouAr.swf (or some variation) , then "Disable Filter".

Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox 13 are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.
In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:
[[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
[[Flash 11.3 crashes]]
[[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]

Videos from Yahoo or other websites not working properly in Safari

Videos from Yahoo or other websites are not working in Safari on Ipod Touch. I downloaded the plugin, but still it does not work.
Is this functionality supported?

Mr. Jobs, who for some reason can't get an Apple employee avatar (seems strange doesn't it?) is correct that there is no Flash plugin for the iPhone/Touch. Apple did not want to use Flash lite for the the iPhone, which has a full browser, and according to the CEO for Adobe they underestimated the difficulty level in creating a version for the iPhone/Touch. He did say the "ball is in their court", and that Apple (that has had previous battles with Adobe) did have engineers working to help them.
Of course now that the CEO of Apple is calling their code "hideous" the cooperation may end.

Problem playing videos from Youtube on Nokia N8

Since a few days ago, I have some problems to reproduce videos from Youtube on my nokia N8. (The phone is updated with the latest version of Symbian OS.)
What is the symptom: Basically the images and sounds are "cut or chopped" .. the videolooks "pixelated".
This situation is similar to when the PC is necessary to have some video codec and then the videos are seen and heard wrong.
The problem occurs on the browser and in other applications like Xenozu "(in normal and high quality). I have a flat rate internet, but the problem happens also via wireless.
Other videos and systems work fine, for example RedBullTV.
Its very strange. .. I do not know what happens! : (
If anyone can help me .. thank you very much!
Regards.

I cannot play videos on youtube

I can't seem to watch videos on youtube. When I try, I'll get the little advertisement thing, but once that's over and it's supposed to go to the actual video, all i get is a black screen. When I right click on it I get 'Movie not loaded...' but it's greyed out. Can anyone help me? I'm using Internet Explorer 8 on a Windows XP 32-bit. Also I receive no error messages, it just won't play.

See: ActiveX Filtering in Internet Explorer
Something is blocking it from running in the AcitveX filters. Those instructions will help
