Unable to access youtube over wifi

Hi,
I have recently got BIS activated on my blackberry bold 9780. I have wifi at home which I use for browsing faster. I have two questions around this.
When I connect the device to wifi, is there any way to know (or set) which connection is being used for communication (BIS or wifi) ?
When I switched off radio and keep only wifi on, I am able to browse all pages except youtube.com. With youtube, I get an error message 'Cannot visit web page page when radio is turned off. Please turn the radio on and try again'
Suppose I am abroad with no intention to pay stratospheric roaming charges, is there some way to make the device work over wifi?
Thanks for your inputs.
Regards,
Aroop

Go to Solution.

If both Network Connection and Wi-Fi are present, your phone will default to the Wi-Fi automatically.  To verify this, connect to a Wi-Fi network and on your homescreen follow Manage Connections>Service Status.  If you look under BlackBerry Internet Service, it should say Wi-Fi.
Browsing via Wi-Fi should work for youtube as well as other sites.  Do you have your Data Services turned on?  In later OS versions, you should be able to browse even with Data Services turned off, but let's toggle that to see what happens.  From your homescreen, follow Manage Connections>Networks and Connections>Mobile Network and make sure Data Services is set to on.  Try that and report back with your findings.  If all else fails, remove your battery while your phone is turned on then replace that.  That's been known to correct many issues.
Keep us posted on your progress.

  • IPhone 3GS Slow Youtube over WiFi Finally Solved

    I have been having major problems with youtube over wifi, same as many on this forum. Youtube videos constantly buffer (start/stop) or play very slow over wifi, butplay fine over 3G. I have read many posts about this and have tried everything. The solution I found that works %100 every time (for me anyway)was to change my wireless key from WEP to WPA. Many users suggest downgrading to 802.11b, which I did but it made no difference. Once I changed the key from WEP to WPA it made no difference if the network was at B,G or B/G mixed. The dummies at apple tech told me it was hardware and I should exchange my phone. So much for tech support. Hope this helps!!

    Yep, same problem! I have 30 mbps on Macbook with my Wifi speed test and on mobile speed test I get 11.6 mbps download and 0.94 upload. I have the same exact problem. Youtube is extremely slow. I also don't have the luxury to switch to WEP since I have an airport extreme which DOESN'T HAVE A WEP OPTION. Maybe I should stop buying apple products all together! Called apple support the guy told me to switch the channels from auto to manual and pick different channels on my airport extreme. Everything else seem to have improved except YouTube. It is dreadfully slow and I constantly need to switch to 3Gs to watch grainy videos. This is unacceptable!

  • Why does the YouTube app say "Cannot Connect to YouTube" over Wifi or 3G?

    Hi, everyone.
    When I open the YouTube app with Wifi or 3G, it says "Cannot Connect to YouTube."  I've browse a few sites, and the number one response is to reset the router.  I tried resetting the router (Latest Apple AirPort Extreme) to factory default and Restoring the iPad 2 from Backup.  I would believe the router issue to be plausible if 3G worked.  Since YouTube doesn't work over 3G, I don't believe the router is the issue.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thank you.

    Me too, ipad mini can't get YouTube app to function via the official app and the same error message," ...tap to retry", but to no avail. The app launches but it will not allow me to sign in. The drop arrow just tilts up and down and ...nothing. I can still access YouTube through Safari browser but strange, I can't find a solution to the app not opening or being able to sign in on either ipad mini or phone even though they are up to date apps.

  • DL2100 Accessing files over wifi on Windows 8.1

    How's it going folks, just got my small company a DL2100 for all our file sharing needs as well for accessing our stuff over the net and the my cloud features are working fine as advertised~  We have a couple of computers running and accessing the DL2100 over our network, most are fine, but we've found that our Windows 8.1 systems are having issues in both reading/writing into the drives over our wifi network. This is using the admin account to access. Reading folders and files take a long time to load, and moving files will result in an intermittent freeze(Not Responding) and subsequent failure in the task =(  Strangely, the Macbooks accessing the drives over wifi, and both Windows 7 and 8.1 machines accessing through ethernet cables have no problems at all!  Any ideas?   

    I do not believe that a soulution is to set a static IP, hack the registry or any other extraodinary procedures.  As I mentioned above, my Win7 and Win8 laptops work great with my DL2100.  They are both wired into the network, so today I disconnected the ethernet and connected the Win8 using the wireless at both the 2.4G and the 5G bands and both work perfectly with the network and the DL2100.  I was able to stream/play videos from it to the Win8. I have no static IPs set for anything, I have Norton Security so no firewall issue, and I have never hacked the registry.  I just have a carefully configured Home network with around 30 or so devices connected to it (both wired and wireless) and I have no network issues.  In the past I had some issues, and what cleared them up was making sure I had a properly functioning Windows Master Browser and the solution was to have set up a permanent Master Browser from a device that was ALWAYS on.  A new router had that capability, and so my router is the MB and has been for a few years..  The DL 2100 can also be designated to be the Master Browser via its Dashboard.  I do not have mine as MB because only one Master Browser is needed and mutiple ones can and do cause problems. First step is to know what a Master Browser is, and that can be found easily.  The second thing is to find out what device is currently acting as the Master Browser.  You can easily find this out with a handy little free program called LANSCAN found here:  http://scottiestech.info/2009/02/14/how-to-determine-the-master-browser-in-a-windows-workgroup/ Install it on your Win PCs and notice that the MB can change if a PC is turned off or on.  If a PC is acting as the MB, that is likely the problem, so if you have no other way to set a permanent MB, then do so in the NAS.  Using the LANSCAN program, determine that your NAS is acting as the MB before proceeding to check things out. Rebooting of PCs and NAS will be necessary. Even if setting up the MB does not solve this problem, it is still a good thing to have a permanent MB in a network. Good luck. 

  • Unable to browse internet over wifi on my iphone

    I am unable to browse internet on my iphone 4 and ipad3 simultaneously over wifi.
    Both iphone and ipad show connected over wifi but only my ipad can connect to internet. Along with ipad I have no problem in connecting laptop and my other android phone over wifi and browse but iphone won't.
    I am using talktalk broadband. Please help

    Does your phone receive a valid ip address from your router?
    Does it work fine when connected to other wifi networks?  If so, then I'd say your router is the culprit.

  • Wake for network access works over Wifi but ...

    I want to wake my iMac over Wifi. I have followed all steps described in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3774 and it works great: I can wake up my sleeping iMac from my macbook and using the Remote.app on my iPhone. Nice!
    However, it only works if my Mac is not locked. If I'm away from my iMac, I usually set in on the login screen (with my account still being logged in). But then my iMac won't wake up. Why?
    I could understand this not working when not being logged. I'm logged in however. Is this a limitation of the Wake for Network Access feature? I have not found any info on this yet...
    thanks

    I have the same problem and I don't set it on the login screen.
    It seems that wake on lan works the first minutes my iMac has gone to sleep. But thereafter it seems to be in 'deep sleep' and I'm not able to wake it.
    I also followed all the steps in the Apple web page and I'm also using the Remote app on my iPhone.
    Anyone any ideas?

  • Unable to access youtube

    iPod Touch, Model Identifier 1,1.  iOS 1.1.5.  Order number MA623LL/A (8 GB).  This belongs to a family member, not me.  I do not use it and am not familiar with iPod touch.  When trying to access youtube via the onscreen app, a box pops up "cannot connect to YouTube".  When using Safari on the iPod, you can access YouTube and it allows you to search for a video, but when you try and watch the video a message pops up that says "Safari can't open the page because the address is invalid".  Not having problems accessing other websites.  Please advise on how to reslove this problem.  Thanks in advance.

         If your family member doesn't mind you can try syncing with iTunes (by plugging the iPod into the computer using usb) and then you can update to a newer firmware such as the 3.x or 4.x series. After syncing you can update the iPod by pressing the "Update" button on the "Summary" page of iTunes (while you have the iPod selected from the left-hand column). 
    This will likely resolve the issue

  • Unable to access network with wifi

    Dear sir,
    I'm using MBP with Retina 14" and OS X 10.9.1 (13B3116)
    I can connect to my wifi and using the internet without problem but after about 30 mins to 2 hours, I cannot access the internet anymore and can't ping to my router (the wifi connection is also established, not disconnected or rejoin). When I open console and see wifi.log, I found this error show every time before problem occured.
    Sun Feb 16 14:51:48.488 <airportd[86]> _handleLinkEvent: Unable to process link event, op mode request returned -3903 (Operation not supported)
    Now, when I faced that problem, I have to turn off my airport and reconnect.
    Please help.
    Thanks

    Have you tried changing the channel(s) on your router?
    For 2.4GHz routers, Macs seem to prefer channel 11.
    For 5.0GHz routers, try channel 149.

  • Cellular Data off, but unable to use services over wifi

    I have turned off cellular data and followed suggestions posted on other threads to reduce data usage -- and am connected to wifi in my office, but cannot do anything on my iPhone5c.  Even when I am just wanting to surf on Safari -- the error "Cellular Data is turned off" "Turn on Cellular Data or use Wi-Fi to access data." pops up.  I am showing on my Settings > Wi-Fi that I'm connected.  Any idea what the problem is? 

    Are you actually getting a valid IP address on the WiFi network? What did your IT department say about it when you asked? Perhaps they have it configured so that unapproved devices can not access the Internet...

  • Unable to access Mac over network

    For some reason I am having problems connecting to my G4 from my Intel iMac. When I go to the Network icon in my sidebar, I get an error message that comes up when attempting to connect to my G4. The proper name for the G4 is G4Drive. This is how I named it in the G4 Sharing prefs. For some reason the old name is still showing up as well (G4hd). Are there some cache files or pref files I should trash, or is there some kind of database that I have to rebuild?
    By the way, accessing the G4 from my Dell PC works fine.

    (assuming Personal File Sharing is on as well as Windows Sharing on the G4)
