Safari won't play youtube videos anymore. I've never had trouble in the past. I switched to chrome but then back to safari and changed the default browser to safari. Now safari won't open any sites that require a user and password. Any suggestions?

Hello everyone,
I've recently been getting error messages on youtube videos when using safari. This never used to happen. I tried using chrome but it didn't take care of the problem. When I set my default browser back to safari, safari won't open any websites that require a username and password. Any suggestions?

My case is different from those listed below.  First, I'm running OS X 10.8.5 and Safari 6.0.5.
My problem is this:
I run a Google search, say, "youtube somesong", and from the hit list returned from google I
pick some selection. Youtube launches and plays the video without problems.  However, when
i click on any of the alternate videos from the page's  vertical list, only the name of the chosen video
appears beneath the video I just watched.  The new selection itself is not loaded by Safari.
This occurs for any selection I choose.  My way around this problem is to force a Safari reload of
the page by using the keyboard shortcut, Command-R.  This fills in the old video window with the
video I just chose.  Can I conclude that this is a Safari issue alone, or is it a Safari/Youtube combo gotcha?  Anyway, the present condition *****.
This problem began sometime after i upgraded to Mountain Lion.  I have reset Safari and have also
deleted the Youtube.com Cache, Cookies, and Local Storage from the Privacy settings under
System Preferences. I have also tested the problem by running Safari in 32 bit mode (no luck there).
If anyone out there has experienced this scenario, I sure could use a little help here.

  • Firefox gives me an error (SSL protocol has been disabled) when every I go to a site that requires a user name/password; how do I fix it

    Everytime I try to log on to any website that requires a username & password, I receive the following error: SSL protocol has been disabled. I have tried all of the suggested solutions to this issue - but to no avail. I cannot log on to yahoomail. gmail, hotmail, ebay, paypal, or any other site that requires a user name and pass word.

  • I have windows 8.1 and firefox won't play youtube videos but IE will

    I have windows 8.1 and firefox won't play youtube videos but IE will. I have tried reinstalling firefox, flash, java. Resetting firefox don't help, disabled hardware acceleration, protected mode 0 in the mms.cfg file. Nothing will play on youtube in firefox. It says "an error has occured, please try again later". The ads play fine though. Everything plays fine in IE. I have tried different versions of flash also with no luck. I even restored the system to a previous iso image with no luck. Does anyone have a solution?

    It maybe because your javascript is disabled .
    You can check the javascript.enabled pref on the about:config page.
    http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
    There are also extensions that can block JavaScript or otherwise interfere.
    https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    Or,
    "Clear the Cache":
    Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
    "Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
    Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
    Start Firefox in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-using-safe-mode Safe Mode] to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • How do i change my default browser from yahoo to safari ?

    how do i change my default browser from yahoo to safari ?

    You may be mixing two things.
    Safari does not really have a home page.
    You set your home page on these pref (see pic below). In the pic below my home page is zip, zero, nada.
    You set your search engine prefs via the Search option from within Safari preferences.

  • 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 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.

  • I updated to the newest version of FIREFOX and now my NETFLIX won't play, YOUTUBE videos will not play. I was one of the people that donated to you this year.

    Hello Mozilla/FIREFOX I just updated to your latest version and now my NETFLIX nor my YOUTUBE plays anymore. I just get a black space without any volume or play symbols - this isn't working for me. I donated to your organization as I am a supporter but you'll need to honor your side of the street. What are you guys doing to fix this and by when will it be resolved?

    Hello,
    The Refresh feature (called "Reset" in older Firefox versions) can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your bookmarks, history, passwords, cookies, and other essential information.
    '''''Note:''' When you use this feature, you will lose any extensions, toolbar customizations, and some preferences.'' See the [[Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings]] article for more information.
    To Refresh Firefox:
    # Open the Troubleshooting Information page using one of these methods:
    #*Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]], click help [[Image:Help-29]] and select ''Troubleshooting Information''. A new tab containing your troubleshooting information should open.
    #*If you're unable to access the Help menu, type '''about:support''' in your address bar to bring up the Troubleshooting Information page.
    #At the top right corner of the page, you should see a button that says "Refresh Firefox" ("Reset Firefox" in older Firefox versions). Click on it.
    #Firefox will close. After the refresh process is completed, Firefox will show a window with the information that is imported.
    #Click Finish and Firefox will reopen.
    Did this fix the problem? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Yosemite 10.10.1 causing Safari not to play YouTube videos...

    Hi guys/girls,
    I installed Yosemite on my iMac (20-inch, Mid 2007) when it was first released and I had no issues whatsoever.
    Last night I updated Yosemite to 10.10.1 and now all of a sudden Safari Version 8.0 (10600.1.25.1) won't play any YouTube videos. All I get is a black screen with a little audio clipping.
    When using Firefox (v32.1.1) or Chrome (v38.0.2125.122) everything works ok.
    Any thoughts?

    Thanks for the response everyone - glad I'm not the only one having this issue!
    The strange thing I'm finding some mixed results:
    1) Some videos give me an error message but then play ok
    http://youtu.be/MM6XG1DOwrs
    2) Some don't play at all and cause the spinning ball to appear (adding a new tab and closing Youtube seems to fix this)

    Hopefully Apple will fix this asap!!!

  • Firefox won't play Youtube videos or media videos

    It is 2 am and for almost a month now Firefox has slowly been degrading to the point of being completely and utterly useless. First, vine videos went. Then the weather.com videos stopped working. Every video based website online has stopped working right up to youtube finally cracking out today.
    Videos won't play. I run firefox in safe mode and STILL, videos show up as a black screen. I tried turning off 'hardware acceleration' in flash, still nothing. I tried clearing the cache, history, deleting firefox altogether and reinstalling.
    I'm running Windows Vista. Using Chrome, every video based site runs impeccably so it is definitely a Firefox conflict. I should probably just stop using firefox altogether, but I've been running it for years and it's what I'm used to. I'm getting down right sick of this though.
    Things I have tried:
    -Running in safe mode: Nothing
    -Clearing the cache/history: Nothing
    -Disabling add-ons one by one: Nothing
    -Disabling hardware acceleration on Flash: Nothing
    I don't know what else to do anymore.

    Update your Flash player. It is currently blocked because you have a vulnerable/blocked version installed.

  • MAc won't save youtube video anymore. What am I doing wrong?

    Not knowing what "as I did a 1000 times before" means, I cannot comment as to what you may be "doing wrong." However, when I went to the KeepVid site I managed to download two files "as I normally do" and both (one YouTube FLV and one KeepVid MP4) downloaded using Safari as playable movie files under Snow Leopard.
