Safari stops playing youtube videos

Recently when playing You Tube videos I find that the playback overtakes the downloa, thereby stopping.
This happens with Safari and Firefox.
To clarify: The grey part of the progress bar does not stay ahead of the red playback bar.
I never had this problem before. I just switched from cable to Fios and have a higher band width then I had with cable.
I trashed the User>Home>Library>Preference, but that didn't fix the problem.
I have a 250GB HD with 172 GB available.
Any advice on how to correct this is appreciated.
Thanks.

First of all you should make sure that you have the latest version of Mac OSX. It's latest version is 10.6.8. Also you should make sure that you have the latest version of Safari browser on your Mac. If you have already have latest version of Safari browser and Mac OSX or updated your Safari browser and Mac OSX and this problem occurred again trying to download latest version of Flash Player and Shockwave Player. After downloading these two plugins for your browser if problem occurred again trying to reinstall your browsers.
I hope your problem solve with these tricks.

  • Safari randomly stopped playing Youtube videos

    Just the other day Safari stopped playing Youtube videos. I have tried running safari in 32bit mode but nothing. I would appreciate any info or help, thanks.

    I went to http://www.youtube.com/html5 and found that I was part of the HTML5 trial for YouTube and that YouTube videos should be playing via HTML5 and not Flash.
    I left the HTML5 trial so that the video were being played by nasty old Flash... Guess what, it works.
    Videos are now playing normally using Flash.
    My suggestion is go to http://www.youtube.com/html5 and see if you are part of the HTML5 trial also, if you are, leave the trial and see how you go.

  • Safari not playing youtube videos

    safari not playing youtube videos all of a sudden plz help playing on chrome and safari plug in and flash player is up to date and java is enabled ...

    I found on an other post more informations. The problems is in OS X since Yosemite 10.10.1 it doesn't work, we will have to wait for a new Update form apple (10.10.2) to resolve that issue.
    Use an other browser instead meanwhile. For more information ; Re: Yosemite 10.10.1 causing Safari not to play YouTube videos...

  • Why does Mac Safari stutter playing YouTube videos?

    While playing YouTube videos (or other streaming videos) in Safari
    using both Snow Leopard and Lion, the video's stutter and stop.
    When I use the Google Chrome browser, the videos play perfectly.
    I can find no way to set the buffering values.
    I don't feel that this is a hardware or network problem.
    This is very annoying, Apple please fix this.
    An example video:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=Yfbchq0xQmQ&vq=medium#t=

    You posted in the correct forum...  Most YouTube content requires the Flash plugin. Try troubleshooting.
    Quit Safari.
    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
    Now uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS'
    Very important to uninstall the currently installed Flash plugin first before reinstalling.
    Launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    Now try a video.
    BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
    And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to:  Open in 32 bit mode  is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
    BTW, this is not an Apple issue. Flash is third party software for which Apple is not responsible for developing or updating. That's Adobe's job.

  • Safari wont play YouTube Videos.

    They wont load or play, so I have to use Chrome or Firefox. Any ideas? I have noticed this the past few weeks, what gives? I checked all my software, everything is up to date..

    The Flash plug-in failure on Lion, is a Safari issue that can be fixed with these steps:
    My Flash Player plug-in would not play videos on YouTube (using Safari in Lion). It turned out that my Safari settings needed to be reset after the recent Lion 10.7.4 and Flash upgrades.  I called Apple tech...
    This is what we did to fix it:
    1. Open Safari.
    2. Go to top left menu, under "Safari" click on "Reset Safari."
    3. UNCHECK the first two boxes, leave the next three checked, plus UNCHECK the next two, and keep the last three checked.
    4. Hit "Reset"
    5. After the reset finishes, Safari will relaunch and you can test Flash by going to YouTube to see that videos will now play.
    Thanks Apple Care!

  • Safari in 64-bit mode on Snow Leopard does not play YouTube videos

    Recently Safari stopped playing youtube videos while Safari is in 64-bit mode. The entire page renders correctly; however the area where the video is supposed to play remains a black box without controls. I can watch video from other sites, or I can watch video from youtube if I use another browser like firefox. Additionally, I can go to the youtube video owner's channel and view videos there just fine. It's only when I try to view videos that use the "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=" method of displaying a video using Safari in 64-bit mode that it fails to play -- it plays fine with Safari in 32-bit mode.

    @Annorax64: are you sure the problem is limited to the latest Flash Player? I'm pretty sure I was still running 10.1 when I first saw it, after getting an error "Safari Flash Player (Safari Internet plug-in) quit unexpectedly."
    Upgrading to 10.2 didn't help.
    It's not !. Flash player 10.1 is no better (as you can verify by downgrading here http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html)

  • Can't play YouTube videos on Safari

    Hi I can't play YouTube videos on Safari any more. I have noticed that I can play videos on Safari but not on YouTube. When atempting to watch a video on You Tube it won't finish loading. It appears to load at first evenutally stops before the video can play. I then receive the "Plug-in Failure" message.
    I am using Safari 5.1.7 on Mac OS X 10.7.4. 
    I believe I am using the latest version of Abobe Flash Player, which I downloaded when I first noticed the problem.
    Please note I do not wish change to a different web browser. Thanks for reading.

    Yes, but I could be mistaken. Below is the version of Flash Player I am using:
    Shockwave Flash
    Shockwave Flash 11.3 r300 — from file “Flash Player.plugin”.
    application/futuresplash
    FutureSplash Player
    spl

  • Safari 7.0 won't play YouTube videos correctly.

    Since upgrading to Mavericks and Safari 7.0, YouTube videos will only play for a few seconds before stopping. There is no audio, and if I click play nothing will happen, however by scrubbing forward or backwards it will continue to play for a few more seconds before stopping again. I have emptied my cookies to no avail.

    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
    Click Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
    Not empty the Safari cache.
    From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Select:  Show Develop menu in menu bar
    Now click Develop from the menu bar. From the drop down menu click Empty Caches.
    Now try a video.

  • How do I stop Thunderbird playing youtube videos in a tab

    For ages I've been trying to get Thunderbird to work how it used to work but I seem to be fighting a loosing battle. I have done everything I can do to try and stop Thunderbird from ever using tabs. The latest thing I'm trying to stop is Thunderbird playing YouTube videos in a tab. Often I get emails with videos in them that play really small. If I click in the fullscreen option in the video it doesn't work and I've no idea why? So I click on the YouTube link in the video and I want it to open in Firefox. But instead it opens in a tab. This would be okay except that it plays really slowly and I can't reposition the tab. This is one of the reasons why I hate tabs in Thunderbird. I want to read things (or watch videos) in the centre of my screen, not where Thunderbird decides to open a tab, which is usually in the top right of my screen. With a very large screen it is much more frustrating than it would be on a laptop or other small screen.
    Can someone please tell me how to fix this?
    Another thing I would like to fix is the search function. I use search all the time and it is very powerful/useful. But again, when I click on the search results it opens the result in a tab. It would be okay if it opened a tab in the search results window but it opens the tab in the main Thunderbird window. It may also be okay if search opened a tab. But opening search in a new window and then showing the search items in a tab on the main window is just so frustrating. It almost makes me want to stop using search. I looked at using X Search Desktop for search but it no longer supports Thunderbird.
    Again, can someone please tell me how to fix this?
    I absolutely love Thunderbird but I really wish it were possible to roll back the changes that have been made in a number of areas. I spend so much time looking for add-ons just to get it back to how it used to be. With every new version there seems to be another change to the interface. I have to use "manually sort folders" just to get the folders to be in the order I want them. Like everyone else I want the security fixes that come with new versions but I don't want interface changes forced on me for no reason.
    But now so many add-ons seem to stop working with each new release. I used to have an add-on that provided two simple buttons to increase/decrease the text size of incoming emails/RSS feeds. It also allowed me to set the font size/type I wanted for each incoming email/RSS feed and overide whatever was originally set. That stopped working a while back and I'd love to know if there is an alternative. Some RSS feed fonts are now set for smart phones and are simply massive in Thunderbird.
    If anyone can help me with these issues I'd be most grateful.

    You can check the home page (startup) setting:
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page - Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' symbols

  • When I try to play youtube video I get the message of blocked plug-in, and I can not play video using Safari. (Youtube works fine with google chrome) I tried installing flash player HTML5 etc... but still no difference.

    I just installed OSX Mountian Lion, and ever since then I can not play youtube video's. I get the message of 'Blocked Plug-in' in the youtube screen. I have tried installing Adobe Flash Player. HTML 5, also tried enabling/disabling java, but nothing worked out. Is there any way I can play youtbe vieos on Safar. (It works fine with Google Chrmoe, only safari has problem)

    If you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
    It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
    Try uninstalling the currently installled Flash plugin (required for most YouTube content) then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    From your Safari menu bar top of your screen click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Select:  Show Develop menu in menu bar

  • Is it possible to play youtube video in safari browser on WiFi in iOS devices ?

    Hello Support,
    I have a query regarding playing you tube videos in iOS devices (like iphone,ipad). I can able to play youtube videos in safari browser in iphone on 3G data connection but can not play the same video on WiFi. I am facing the same issue in the youtube iOS application also. Is it possible to play youtube video on WiFi in iOS devices ? Please help me to fix this issue.
    Thanks

    My understanding is that you should definitely be able to play youtube videos using a Wi-Fi network. To me, it sounds as though the issue may be more network related as the videos will work over cellular data. I have a couple questions I believe could help narrow down the exact issue:
    • Is the device able to browse to other websites while connected to Wi-Fi, or will no sites work?
    • Are there other devices (iPads, iPhones, computers, etc) that work on the same Wi-Fi network?
    These are some troubleshooting articles that come to mind as well:
