Safari won't display You tube videos

I've upgraded to the latest version of Flash but still no joy - the loading wheel keeps spinning. One thing I haven't been able to check is the default app for streaimg video. Where I would do thst?
Thanks
David

Hi,
Your profile shows you are running 10.4.8. If that's the case, you need to update to v10.4.11.
You can use Software Update from your Apple menu or the v10.4.11 combo (Intel) update here.
When you visit sites that require Flash, Safari auto detects that.
You can try troubleshooting the Flash plugin which is required for a large percentage of YouTube content.
Uninstall then reinstall then restart your Mac. Instructions here.,
Carolyn

Safari won't play You Tube videos properly

No doubt this is likely related to the ongoing problems I've been having with Safari running Flash as covered in depth in this previous thread -
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1790656&tstart=0
Klaus was very helpful in that thread and things got incrementally better - but not solved...it's still very slow compared to any other browser. So rather than re-hash everything that's already been done, I was just wondering if anyone else has run into this problem? The YT videos will load and play but they are all jerky and sputtering. Other browsers (Firefox etc.) all can play the same videos smoothly with no issues.
I don't have redundant Flash players in my HD Library Plug-Ins folder and User Library Plug-Ins - but I do have something called "UnityPlayer.plugin" in my User's that I'm not sure what it is...

Here is unity Player plugin.http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/internet_utilities/unitybrowserplugin.html
Not sure if this anything to do with your problem

Safari isn't loading You Tube videos

I am trying to play You Tube videos in the Safari web browser. It does not load the video at all and just has a big black space. Other browsers load it. What could be wrong in my Safari browser?

Most YouTube content requires the Flash pluigin....
Uninstall the currently installed plugin > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Now click here > http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
(going by your profile) select: 10.6 / 10.8 and download > http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
Now from your Safari menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari.
Select: Clear History (empties the Safari cache). Deselect the other boxes then click Reset.
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.

Monitor won't enter power save after playing You Tube videos...

Hi
An issue has developed on my system in the last couple of months for which, after having done a lot of research and testing, a solution has not been found. After playing a video in You Tube, my monitor won't go into power save mode after the prescribed time. It tries to go off for a second and the screen goes blank but then comes straight on again. This happens after playing the You Tube videos in Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. I am running Windows XP Professional and I have the latest version of Adobe Flashplayer installed, the latest graphics card drivers, the latest version of direct x 9.0c.
To clear this error, I have to go into my XP power schemes settings and change it to another power scheme and then change it back to my default power scheme. However, as soon as I play another you tube video the same problem re-occurs.
I have tried turning off hardware acceleration but this makes no difference. My graphics card is a Gigabyte gv-nx86t512h: http://uk.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2604#ov
This never used to happen until recently. It seems that there is something with the Flashplayer that is not compatible with Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer etc.
Any ideas as to what may be causing this and what can be done to overcome it would be greatly appreciated as it is a real nuisance.
Many thanks.
D

thanks for your suggestions.
i found the solution/workaround from somone else on the adobe forums:
Go to control panel, display, screen saver, choose a random screen saver, set a long time (i.e. 60 min, but always longer than your monitor shut off time), then select no screen saver, and save! Simple as that…

When I try to play a You Tube video in Safari it tells me my version is no longer supported and I should download a newer version of Safari. I have OSX10.8.5, and my Safari is 6.2.3, and apparently it's up to date. What's going on?

Thanks,

Why won't You Tube Videos Load/Play?

My 10 year old daughter has an ipad mini and has been able to watch You Tube videos with no problem. Now, all of a sudden, they won't load or if they load, they don't play. Can anyone tell me why this might happen? Everything else works fine, it's just this.

Hi mikefrompoland,
For more information about 5.1 Surround Sound in iTunes, you may find the following article helpful (it is primarily aimed at Mac users, but the settings in Windows should be similar):

You Tube videos won't play using FireFox 12

Fire Fox will not play YouTube videos. When I go to the site, I see just a black box with no error messages. The video never loads. I have uninstalled flash player and re-installed with no success in playing you tube videos. IE will play you tube videos! I have disabled all anti-virus, firewall, plugins, etc and FireFox still will NOT play YouTube videos. Please help!

This still did not work. I have noticed that FireFox will not play any video on any website. I am able to play all video using IE browser.

You tube videos do not play and other sites, ie property, do not display pictures, running 7.0.1

looking at estate agent web sites recently which contain series of pics which you can see as slide shows in an enlarged window do not appear in larger window, but are visable as thumb nails, also you tube videos do not run. This is not the case in internet explorer

Here is a solution for the videos anyway first install the firefox add on Add-on Compatibility Reporter that can be found here
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
next restart firefox then install the add on unplug that is found here
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/unplug/
once that is done you might need to make sure that unplug is enabled. if done correctly after its setup you should be able to use the web player you have installed in windows to stream the videos you find on the net.

Why does adobe reader 11 not allow you tube videos to be viewed on my MAC?

Adobe reader does not allow me to view you tube videos on my MAC. Why?

Every time I install the newest version, for whatever reason, if I want to watch a video, I get a missing plug in message. I don't get the usual "allow or deny" message with it, it just won't allow me to view the video. I watch a lot of art lessons on line and participate in blogs and this becomes very frustrating. The odd thing, is that when I un-install Adobe 11, I can view the videos but, of course, then I can't download PDF files. The weird thing is, other people in my neighborhood are having the same issue and don't know what to do about it. I may just download an earlier version of Adobe because I didn't have this issue until I updated it some months back. Maybe my 6 year old MAC can't handle the technology even though I am running on the latest Safari version?

Why is Firefox crashing when I am playing You Tube favorites playlists and other You Tube videos?

Lately within the last 2-3 weeks I have had a lot of crashes on my computer when I am running Firefox version 3.6.3 and trying to watch You Tube videos. It seems to only crash when I am on You Tube. It crashes even quicker when I am on Internet Explorer or Google Chrome. I have installed the latest version of Adobe Flashplayer recently. I never had trouble watching You Tube videos until recently. The You Tube site will open, I sign in, and then I go to my subscriptions or favorites and select a video. It will begin to play, get a minute or so in, and then I get the error message that it's crashed.
== Crash ID(s) ==
ID: 0fbb30ce-0fdd-4423-9aa3-3f8fe2100528 Signature: cabac_mb_skip

I am not sure I did this right. This is what I did: right-mouse clicked on the desktop, whent to properties, went to display properties, went to settings, clicked on advanced tab, and then clicked on troubleshooting tab. There I drug the hardware acceleration slider to the left to disable it, clicked ok twice as directed, restarted the computer and then I couldn't get firefox to open at all, but I went to internet explorer and got on you tube and tried to watch a video, but it crashed again.
So I don't think that worked. I couldn't figure out how to disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin, but did it on the desktop instead. Are there different steps I need to take to accomplish this?
Thank you!

You-Tube Videos on Macbook Pro

Suddenly I have a problem when viewing You-Tube-Videos. They keep breaking up on my Macbook pro. I never had this problem before. My browser is Safari. Any suggestions?

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!
