Error when trying to view YouTube videos

I get the following error when trying to view YouTube videos in some wireless hotspots; "The server is not correctly configured". It used to work fine at these locations.

Maybe not as many people reply as you think should because this site doesn't freaking work either!
Took me ten minutes to log in! Kept getting stupid error messages telling me this site is undergoing maintenance. Whatever.
Same exact problem here, but Chrome DOES NOT work. Changing DNS servers DOES NOT work either. It doesn't work for a lot of people.

WTF this site is more broken than youtube! Constant errors and constantly unresponsive with "greyed out" buttons!
Is there any competent people left on the planet to fix this crap!?

How can we correct a blocked plug in when trying to view internet videos?

My son's computer suddenly started stating "Blocked plug in" when trying to view any videos on the internet. We followed the instructions to upgrade Adobe Flashplayer but have been unsuccessful on many attempts and we have no leads to follow to correct the problem.
Can anyone help or suggest something? Thanks.

Try this, uninstalling and then reinstalling Adobe Flash:
Uninstall flash:
http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/uninstall-flash-player-mac-os.html
Reinstall Flash:
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
Select the OSX for you run the .dmg installer (you can go to Safari Preferences/General "Save doenloaded file to:" select other and then select desktop from the left column.
Run the installer pkg.
When it has completed, reboot your computer to finish the install.
Hope this helps

I can't watch YouTube videos on my brand new MacBook Pro with Lion. It says I need to download Adobe Flash Player but that won't install. Help!

I can't watch YouTube videos on my brand new MacBook Pro with Lion. It says I need to download Adobe Flash Player but that won't install. Help!

The same thing happens to me, Safari asks me to update the Adobe FlasPlayer, I download, start the installation process, ask me my username and password in order to install, then see a window where I choose if I want to always install the updates , or ask first, or not inslate updates, and at this point it is not progress, I can not cancel the process, I turn off and turn on my machine.
What can I do ..??
Regards.

I am trying to use sites on the internet which require Adobe Flash Player, but when I click on the free download, it says that Apple does not support this application, so I cannot use it. This stops me viewing quite a few interesting things. Any ideas?

I am trying to use sites on the internet which require Adobe Flash Player, and when I click for a free download it says that "it is not available for your device because of restrictions that Apple has put in place". Any suggestions on how to overcome this?

Flash is not, and probably never will be, supported on the iPad : http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ . Plus it would be up to Adobe to make a version of their flash player that works on iOS devices, something which they have never managed to do and which they have now given up on trying to do.
Browser apps such as Skyfire, iSwifter and Puffin 'work' on some sites, but judging by their reviews not all sites. Also some websites, especially news sites, have their own apps in the App Store, so your could try checking there for your sites (and there is the built-in YouTube app).

I have a mac computer. I am trying to install flash player but get the message "install adobe flash player wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this." I do not use a password to open the computer.

I have a mac computer that uses no password. When installing flash player I get the message "Install adobe flash player wants to make changes Type your password to allow this. I can't get past this message.

Hi,
To change your password you will need to open System Preferences, then open Users & Groups, click on Change Password. Change your password to a temporary one, then when you have finished you do the same procedure to change it back, by typing in the temp password then leaving the new password blank. Hope this helps.

Error 404 when trying to view youtube videos

Recently when I try to view youtube videos, I get error 404. I updated to version 6.0 tonight and now I get error code 404 and then Fire fox crashes. I send a crash report each time. I tried opening Fire fox in safe mode. That didn't work.

160 GB iPod classic crashed when trying to view a video, and now just keeps rebooting. What can I do?

This is the third iPod classic this has happened to, so it's not a fluke.
I upoaded a video podcast from iTunes. The video name, etc. displayed properly in the iPod, but when I tried to open it, the iPod crashed and now just continuously reboots. My iMac does not recognize the iPod anymore.
Any suggestions?

Have you tried this?
- iPod: Appears in Windows but not in iTunes

Buffer Overrun when trying to view downloaded Videos

I've recently downloaded a video from iTunes. When trying to play via iTunes, it crashes after a moment, giving no error but a windows error of "iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close"
I have tried opening this file through QuickTime and I get this error:
"A buffer overrun has been detected which has corrupted eternal state. The program cannot safely continue exacution and must now be terminated"
I have:
1. Uninstalled/Reinstalled both iTunes/Quicktime
2. Updated Motherboard chipset drivers
3. Cleaned out all references to both Quicktime and iTunes
4. Cleaned out all Registry entries involving quicktime.
Since all these were "fixes" to this question before, I thought maybe there was one I was missing.
Any help please? Thanks

Seriously, the itunes support is for the birds....go over on the QuickTime support discussions and repeat that post, is my advice.

I have Quicktime 7.0.4 installed on my new PC with a Intel 640 processor on a ASUS P5LD2-Deluxe.
If I want to watch a video from apple.com/trailers
often but not always the "buffer overrun" error appears.
Everytime I can hear a quiet cracking in the sound
if I play back the video while QT is loading the rest of the video.
The cracking sound always disappers when the load-process had come to its end.
So I´ve updated all updatable, of course the Realtek HD-Audio-Driver (on the Intel HD-Audio-Bus), too !
This made it worse than before.
Now it can happen that the video stops in the middle because of the buffer overrun.
ALL OTHER applications are working fine.
For example I can hear music or reports with winamp while downloading big files without any disturbing sound and ugly error-messages.
I think now the Apple developers are asked !

When trying to update CS6, I am asked to close Bridge...but it is already closed.

I am trying to update CS6. I am asked to close Adobe Bridge. It is already closed. I cannot continue the update unless it is closed. What must I do to fix this problem?

I am asked to close Adobe Bridge. It is already closed.
There is a big difference between closed and Quit. Closed means mostly no visible window, yet the application itself runs at the background.
If you are on a Mac check the open applications (cmd + Tab lets you cycle through the open applications) or open the activity monitor (in the Disk utility folder in Applications)
If you are on Windows maybe Curt and Yammer P will have better advise for you

Safari complaining when trying to view WWDC videos

Despite running Mac OS X Mountain Lion and Safari 6.0.5, whenever I attempt to play a video from Apple's Developer WWDC site, I receive the following error:
System Requirements
To watch the streaming version of this video, use the latest version of Safari on a Mac running OS X Lion or later. Alternatively, you can watch this video in the WWDC app or download the video when available.
I instead force to download the video.
Any suggestions?

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Security
and check the box marked Allow other plug-ins.

IPhone Displayes "movie cannot be played" when trying to view youtube video

I have a iPhone 3G and I cannot play certain movies from YouTube. The movies play fine on my husbands computer. I connect with both 3G and Wifi. The issue is on both connections. My husband did the latest updates last weekend.
Help!! I want to see my youtube movies

How are you accessing YouTube? Via the YouTube app or via the Safari browser? You cannot access youTube via Safari because the iPhone doesn't support Flash, and YouTube used Flash. The videos accessed via the You Tube app on the iPhone are a special subset of videos that have been recoded to H.264 for iPhone compatibility.

Told I need flash player when it's already installed.

My machine always has the latest adobe flash player, and yet site after site tells me that I need to get flash player before I can use their program. What is going on?

To better assist you with this issue we need to know:
What is your operating system? (Windows or Mac) (XP, Vista, 7, 8)
