Watching youtube on safari

I am trying to watch videos on youtube with safari. When I play a video, it seems to lock everything up until the video is fully loaded. My internet speed on any other website watching any other videos is perfectly fine. Anyone have any ideas as to why Youtube videos are freezing and not functioning right when everything else is?

HI Chester...
Most YouTube content requrires the Flash plugin so try troubleshooting...
Quit Safari.
Uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new > Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Now try a video.
BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed in Safari > Preferences > Extensions, 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

Computer shuts off when watching YouTube on Safari

My computer has simply shut itself off several times now, and each time it happened, it was when I was watching YouTube videos with Safari version 5.06.
A few times beforehand, Safari has crashed while on YouTube, and I got an error message saying something may be wrong with a Flash 10.4-10.5 plugin.
Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Hi, let's see if we can garner more clues. Video can really heat things up.

If you have any temps in the 70°C/160°F range, that's likely it.

I tried jasmine and several other players for youtube,
but the problem still remains, they all do not work,

"this video is currently unavailable".
it seems as they use safari to play youtube, but safari itself cannot do that

When i try to watch youtube from safari, it doesn't work!!!

It starts loading, then stops and goes blank. It only works if another app is playing it, like twitter. Help!!!

-Try reetting the iPod:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Next go to Setting>Safari and delete history, cache and cookies.

I can not watch YouTube safari. The video came out black ,but it has sound

I can not watch YouTube on safari. It came out black screen , but it had sound.

Does it work on the YouTube app ? Other people have been posting the same issue with YouTube over the past few days - see if the following help.
Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cookies And Data (Clear Cache on iOS 4) and also Clear History
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Mac Users: How can I watch YouTube again on Firefox, when for months all I get is a black screen and no controls?

Beyond frustrated here. I can watch YouTube on Safari (I have a MacBook Pro laptop, OS 10.6.8), but I use Firefox, for everything else, so really need YouTube access on Firefox. I have googled the problem a zillion times and find solutions that do not work.
Today in several places, including here at Firefox, the instruction is to uncheck the "Enable Hardware Acceleration" box which is found when you right-click (two-finger click on my trackpad) on the black YouTube screen. Then click on Settings, which brings up a display box. In the display box I'm supposed to be able to uncheck the hardware acceleration. And I see it there in front of me.
But it's dead to my trackpad! The Enable Hardware Acceleration will not uncheck when I click on its tiny box. It's supposed to be active, but nothing I do in that display box works--even the close button. I've refreshed the page, tried clicking the icons on it, nothing works.
Can you imagine no YouTube for months? It's driving me crazy. PLEASE help, I will be so grateful!
Thanks~~

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
Try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.

Same 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.

Problem watching Youtube video with Safari 5.1.10

I'm running Safari 5.1.10 under Snow Leopard 10.6.8 but cannot watch anymore videos with Youtube. Does anyone has an idea ?
A message appears on the top of the screen asking to accept cookies. But when clicking on accept nothing happens ... :-( and videos do not appear
I tried with Google Chrome no problem. Last week Safari was working well it just happened ~ 2 days ago.

Hello Carolyn,
Thanks for your support but I already tried those options without success. I reinstalled completely Safari 5.1.10 but problem remains.
In fact it seems that clicking action to authorise cookies is inhibited (no effect) therefore videos as thumbtails do not appear (blank), however if I click on a video tittle then it starts to play normally. Really really weird, I don't if Google did some upgrade with Youtube therefore Safari 5.1.10 is obsolete ...
As an alternative I will use Google Chrome but it's a pitty.
Laurent.

Firefox is slow and hangs watching Youtube videos. Safari is OK. What's the word, Developers?

Since late Oct 2011, my Firefox had been hanging while watching videos on Youtube. Any mouse action while a video is playing causes Firefox to hang (spinning wheel).
It turns out that I had caught the beta release of the new Gray Youtube interface - where the backgrounds of all youtube pages are gray.
I got myself back to the old interface by deleting all Youtube cookies.
I no longer have hangs. Page transitions are also much quicker, as was before.
Is there anyone else who has experienced the "new" interface, and problems?
If you do have the new youtube interface, but no problems, then I have more digging to do.
Update Dec 2, 2011:
I have the problem again now that Youtube has released their "new look" interface to everyone.
The problem is generally slow Firefox responses to mouse actions while watching Youtube videos. Firefox will hang completely 2-4 minutes into any Youtube video. (The video does continue to play a-ok.) FF becomes responsive again when the video ends playing.
Problem doesn't occur when I watch a youtube video right after starting FF after having "quit" it. Problem begins occur after FF has been running for a while (visiting other websites?) Is this a symptom of FF collecting some kind of crud in memory or disk?
My old Safari (3.2.1) doesn't have any problems.
As far as I can see, both Firefox and Safari on my system use the same Adobe Flash Player.
So, this isn't a problem with Youtube, Flash Player, or my system, but a problem with Firefox (3.6.24) !?
Anybody (FF developers) have any ideas? I want to keep using FF!

Thanks Cor-el.
The problem existed in safe mode as well.
Changing Flash Player hardware acceleration had no effect.
The problem is gone now, after getting the standard youtube interface back.
What I'd like to know is whether any others who are unwitting testers of the new Youtube interface are experiencing problems, and, if not, what is their system? Which versions of Firefox and Flash Player are they using?

Hello my MacBook is crashing when I watch Youtube videos. Safari and Flash Player are updated.

Hello,
My MacBook is crashing when I watch Youtube videos. Safari and Flash Player are updated.
What is the problem?
It will be necessary to take him on a technical assistance?
thank you

Have you tried an alternate browser to see if the same issue happens? Try Firefox or Chrome. Chrome has Flash embedded in it, so if it doesn't work, it's probably not a Flash issue. FIrefox is at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ and Chrome is at https://www.google.com/chrome .
Another thing to try is to sign up for HTML5 video from Youtube. See http://www.youtube.com/html5
