I am unable to watch Youtube videos on Firefox ?
I don't know why I am unable to play Youtube videos on Firefox (this problem stated around mid Sept. 2014).
I explored many solutions but in vain. Firefox/flash (I am not sure) is behaving weirdly, I found some solutions on 'Mozilla Support' when I apply these, I am able to play YT videos but after some time (usually after a re-boot) I get the screen "An error occurred please try again Later" and this cycle repeats. I use a public Wifi/LAN of my university and everyone(using Firefox) has the same problem, and everyone noticed the problem at the same time.
Some solutions I tried are:
1. Deleting Cache, Cookies, History etc etc
2. Uninstalling and Re-installing Firefox and flash.
3. I do have the latest version of both flash and Firefox
4. Using Firefox in safe-mode (Sometimes even in safe-mode I couldn't play YT videos)
5. Disabling Hardware Acceleration (though I use a I5 machine with Windows 7 and Intel(R) 3000 Graphics card).
6. Tweaking DNS settings (changed my DNS server address to 8.8.4.4 etc)
7. Degrading to previous versions of Firefox (I used FF 28.0 in Linux worked fine for a while and then the problem repeats itself)
I am confused, I am not sure where the problem is, because I use Linux(Ubuntu 14.04) and Windows 7 and in both of them Firefox won't play YT videos but Chromium/Chrome does. As I said before videos would play for certain time and then they would stop playing giving me "An error occurred please try again Later......". Another observation is there were only 2 resolutions (1020p and 240p ) available and the result won;t change even if I change them.Hi, first of all Thank you for your instant response.
Yes, I have updated to version 33, Now the problem is not as random as it was before. I found that I have absolutely no issues when I use FF for the first time after starting my computer. At this point there is no issue at all I can watch videos when both logged-in/logged-out and also they work perectly if I switch between flash and HTML5.
But as soon as I restart Firefox I cannot watch the videos at all. No matter if I am logged in/logged out, I did try HTML5 but still it didn't work. The error message was same in all the cases "An error occurred, please try again later".

I am unable to watch youtube videos online
I am having trouble watching youtube videos and basically any videos online on my new macbook. It says i need to upgrade my adobe flash player which I have done numerous times and it finishes saying you have successfully upgraded however i still can't watch videos what should I do?
If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 5.
1. If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, sign in to your YouTube account and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
2. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, then from the menu bar select
▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch your browser.
3. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
Flash Player (failing).plugin
You may be prompted for your login password.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combinationcommand-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
4. Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
5. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
6. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
7. In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane. -
I have Mozilla Firefox and Adobe Flash Player 13 Plug-in won't allow me to watch YouTube videos
Up until last week I had IE9 and was able to download and watch YouTube videos with my son and play Facebook games. Then one evening I tried to pull up a Yo Gabba Gabba video on YouTube and the video window was blank. I had watched this video the night before with him, and the only thing I can think of is there was a Flash Player update that tried to download. I saw several posts that suggested downloading a new broswer, but I waited for 3 nights thinking it was just a glitch. I finally gave up and sent a pm to one of my friends who is a Internet Service Technician. She told me to download Mozilla Firefox, which I did, and the problem seemed to be solved. I was once again able to download and watch YouTube videos, as well as play games on Facebook. And it seemed my pages, pictures, etc. all downloaded 10x faster. That worked until the next evening and suddenly I once again could not download and watch YouTube videos.
I checked my system and it found that Adobe had done an automatic update so that instead of just having Adobe Flash Player 13 Active X I now had Adobe Flash Player 13 plug-in. I also noticed that Adobe Air was downloaded on my computer. I went in and uninstalled the Adobe Flash Player 13 Plug-in and I was once again able to download and watch YouTube videos. But when I tried to play games on Facebook I was told I would need to install at least Adobe Flash Player 10.0.2. I went to find that or an older version but each time I tried to download from Adobe I would get the Adobe Flash Player 13 Plug-in version, and once again I was unable to download and watch YouTube videos. I was, however, able to play the games on Facebook again.
Remember when I just had Adobe Flash Player 13 Active X I was able to do both while having Mozilla Firefox. I have looked all over the internet and I cannot find recent articles that talk about this problem. Can someone please tell me what I can do so that I can keep Mozilla Firefox, as it is 10X faster than IE9 and with Firefox my Facebook doesn't crash all of the time? But I also want to have the ability to download and watch YouTube videos with my son, as well as the play games on Facebook.
I should also note each time I went to uninstall Adobe Flash Player 13 Plug-in I received an error message saying there was a conflict with Mozilla Firefox and I first had to shut it down before the uninstall would proceed. Also, I received a reply on Adobe's Facebook page from a Tech who had me check to see if I had the latest version of Flash Player. I did have the most recent version. He then asked me to go to my add-ons and enable Shockwave. I followed the instructions and it was already enabled (or it said always activate). Neither of those helped me be able to download and watch YouTube videos. But I can still play Facebook games.What is your current Flash Player version: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html ?

Unable to load youtube videos. Neither browsing nor the youtube app are working, the video start loading but nothing more happen. This issue is hapenning after I updated to iOS 6.
Try this first.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
And then try this.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Data. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
And ... Are you using the mobile YouTube website?

Fan starts to make loud noise when watching youtube videos
Hello there, I have been having a problem with my Macbook Pro for a while and I hope I can find some help here. My Macbook Pro has the problem that when I am watching youtube videos and I have the fullscreen option on, if the video is lasts, say more then 4 min or so, then after a while the fans start to kick in and they keep getting louder and louder for no reason.
It also does this sometimes when I open the spotlight to search for something, although that hasnt happened as much lately. But this is really getting annoying, I mean, why would a simple video from youtube, make the mac go all crazy as if I was rendering or exporting video, its nuts. I have all the updates installed too.
I also went to an Apple store, and of course when I try to show the person the issue I have, the macbook pro works just fine! Its somewhat random. I told the guy that I have Applecare and if they could just hold onto the machine and test it out themselfs and the guy tells me, that I have to pay THEM for this service if they dont find anything. What the? Is it my fault if the issue doesnt come up during their suposed testing time? What if they just dont do anything to it, and then say they dont find anything, and im suposed to pay for this even though I have Applecare? There must be something wrong.
Anyway, I really appreciate any help and guidance I can get on this issue. Btw, my Macbook Pro is the second generation one, the one with Intel Duo Core 2, 2.33 ghz, 2 GB ram and the ATI video card. I also recently ran Disc Utility from the install disc and I repaired some issues on the HD, but its still the same.
Thank you for reading and (hopefully) responding to this topic.Thank you for the replies. I have just downloaded the iStat Widget and I noticed that the fans were at about 2800-2900 rpm and the sound wasnt noticable, I then played a youtube video that lasts for 5 min, although already on the 1 min mark the fans were getting louder when running in full-screen mode. I then checked iStat and it peaked at around 5994 rpm. I then stopped the full screen viewing and it went back to 3000 rpm after a while, and now it seems to be locked at 2400 rpm.
What I dont get is, why is it that when I play videos from my hard drive and watch movies, even in full screen mode, it doesnt get near 5990 rpm at any point, at least I dont notice any loud fan sounds. Although that has happened when I watched a HD video from my desktop that lasted about 6 min, but the fans didnt go as loud as right now.
Also, a few days ago, I was playing a small flash game on the net, and I got the same problem with the fans as with the youtube videos. I read that youtube uses flash, is this right? Could there be something on this? I have downloaded the latest flash player version though, so I dont know whats going on. -
Unable to play youtube videos after OS 10.2.1.2977 update
Hi, I got an OS update two days back "10.2.1.2977". after updating, all the data in my memory card got wiped off and I am unable to play youtube videos both in browser and Supertube/fasttube apps, it's showing as "Error1: Internal" I tried rebooting but the problem is still there. Does anyone faced the same problem. Please suggest me a way to get rid of this problem. Appreciate your help
Alternatively, you can use an autoloader to reload the software.
You can download it here for the same os:
http://filefactory.com/file/7il26x7cisqd/10.2.1_B3247_Z10-3G.rar
Note that using this will also wipe all data from the phone.
How to use?
1) download it and extract it
2) connect the device to a pc
3) run the Exe file, it will automatically wipe and load the os in -
HOW CAN YOU WATCH YOUTUBE VIDEOS WITH CC ON? THIS FRUSTRATES ME A LOT. THANKS.
So, I am kinda confused. I searched around the net and all that, and I found out that there's this thing in setting where you turn on the "closed-captioning". So I turned it on and tried watching videos in YouTube but IT didn't work. Also, I remember one time that I can use CCin YouTube. it's weird.
I remember that they said if the Cc were encoded in quicktimes you can see the CC but if it's flash you can't. So I figured it's impossible to watch YouTube videos with CC. However, if anyone knows another way to watch with CC on YouTube, tell me please. Thanks.Sorry, but I don't know if there is a way.
Also, just to be picky....would you be kind enough to avoid using all caps in your title? -
When I watch YouTube videos on my iPhone 5 it sometimes suddenly drops in quality so much the whole video goes blurry and it's almost impossible to watch anything?? Help also I think it might have to do with my wifi but I'm not sure. Sometimes I also try to skip to sections of a vid and it just lags for ages and nothing happens.

Good for you! I haven't tried it, but I'm sure it works.

RegardsSame problem on my ipad mini, running ios 6.0.2.
A bit more info:
-tried using YouTube in Safari on another ipad. Worked fine.
Tried reboot (sleep + home buttons for 15 seconds). Didn't fix.
-tried logging out of my YouTube account, thinking the problem was tied to my settings. Didn't fix.
-tried uninstalling all apps I downloaded since the last time YouTube worked properly. Didn't fix.
-tried watching a video in desktop mode. Can tap video screen to bring up pause okay in that mode.
There are work arounds, but the thing I want to know is why YouTube doesn't work in Safari as of a couple of days ago, and is it indicative of another more serious problem with my ipad. -
