When watching youtube the video randomly jumps to the start of the video even if the cursor is not on the video.

When watching youtube the video randomly jumps to the start of the video even if the cursor is not on the video. This happens randomly and does not seem to be a problem with the videos as they run fine. what is going on?

Several times every day YouTube shuts down some of their servers to update stuff. Be patient if YouTube is slow, stuck or mangled. Transmissions from YouTube to your computer are done in multiple tiny packets of data and flash at a time. That's why sometimes you may get any of these scenarios: bits and pieces of text/thumbnails in weird places; sluggish loading/buffering; the spinning circle going on forever; or the player being blank. This problem could fix itself within a few hours or by the next day.
If your YouTube continues to behave slow, stuck or strange, it's very possible that your directories of "temporary internet files" and RAM (sometimes known as "cache") are close to the maximum and just cannot take anymore, the end result being any of the above scenarios or videos that: A) come to a complete freeze; B) start/stop/start/stop in a choppy way; or C) never even make it onto your screen.
"Temporary internet files" are tiny bits of webpages that get permanently put on your hard-drive. They will remain forever on your computer, gradually plugging it up like hair stuck in a sink drain, until you finally get rid of them once and for all. Thus, exit out of YouTube, then clear your "cache" of all its "temporary internet files", "cookies" and "history". It is best if you shutdown and reboot afterwards. You'll be amazed at how "fresh" and "new" your YouTube will be.

I just upgraded to IOS6 and I have some difficulties that I never had on IOS5:
How can a see the full screen when watching youtube. Address bar is always in view.
Maps are foggy and some images overlap to eachother.

No, there is no legitimate way to downgrade iOS to an earlier version.
Be patient, Apple will eventually get around to fixing the "bugs" in iOS 6.

We have a solution that allows you to do most of what you want, including bulding the form, having people fill it out either in Reader (as an XFA-PDF) or on the iPad (as an HTML form).
You design the form once, and it will by styled correctly on the appropriate platform.

Iphone 4: pixilated image when watching YouTube

Since the last update (4.1) I have horrible image quality when watching YouTube or Vevo...Anyone has any idea of what is going on?
Thanks

The mobile youtube page accessed through safari plays video perfectly over 3G, while the native app reduces the quality so much much that text on the video is basically unreadalbe.
I don't understand why apple limits the quality so much through the app when 3g is more than adequate to play higher quality. What's the point of a native app when it performs this poorly.

When watching youtube on Waterfox 8.0.1 there is no buffer.

When watching Youtube videos on Waterfox 8.0.1 there is no buffer.
The videos load, but not with buffer (obvious when video is paused).
I'm using Flash Player 11.2.202.95 Beta 2 (Non-IE) 64-bit
Works fine on IE9 with Flash Player 11.2.202.95 Beta 2 (for IE) 64-bit

Installed & enabled "Greasemonkey" (non-related to this issue), now it's buffering !?!
This is ridiculous.

When watching Youtube clips firefox causes windown blue screen - windows 7 on HP8540w

Hi
HP8540w laptop with Windows7 professional.
when watching youtube clips windows crashes - blue screen of death!
watching the same clips in Internet explorer doesn't cause a crash - isolated to Firefox.

See below -- the way I asked the question the first time may not be clear. This post was a goof but I can't figure out how to delete it

As apple does not support Adobe flash how do I watch youtube other videos and play games?

There is a YouTube built-in app for watching those videos. If you can't find the app (it can't be deleted), then check that it's not hidden via Settings > General > Restrictions > YouTube.
For videos on other sites then you might find that some of them (probably more so if they are news sites) have their own apps in the App Store which might let you get some of the content that you want (and there is the built-in YouTube app). Also there are browsers such as Skyfire which 'work' on some sites - but judging by the reviews not all sites. If you want to play flash games then you are probably out of luck if you want to play on-line though the iSwifter app might work on some of them, but again some flash games have app versions in the store.

I've noticed this especially when I youtube or video stream for a while. Switching between tabs takes 3-4 seconds. Definitely a memory leak! Is it a general problem or addon specific?

Also, when I try to close firefox and restart it, the process doesn'y get killed with the normal Command + Q in Mac.
I need to use Force Quit instead.

Try updating Flash. You appear to be running an older version dating from September 2010 which might be the cause of the problem. Download from http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
If the problem persists after updating, try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If it functions properly in that configuration, then one of your add-ons is the culprit.

ITunes crashing when watching iTunes Festival videos

Hello.
iTunes is crashing when watching iTunes Festival videos.
It crashes at least once a day.
iTunes 11.1
Macbook Pro OS X 10.8.5

I have the same problem.

I have a new Macbook Pro. When watching Youtube videos, it works perfectly until I attempt to watch the video in full screen. When in full screen, the video freezes immediately and the audio continues. When minimized it works fine as before. Help?

I have a brand new Macbook model A1502. I am taking online college classes that incorporate youtube tutorial videos. I can watch the videos if I don't maximize the screen to full screen. When in full screen, the video freezes immediately and the audio continues uninterrupted. I can press escape and go back to the previous screen and the video continues to play with no problems. Can anyone help me please? This machine is literally just out of the box with maybe an hour of use. Thanks in advance

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.

White spot appears in one corner of the screen when watching YouTube videos?

Hello. I have a fifth generation iPod Touch and when I watch YouTube videos, I notice a little white spot appear in only one corner on the screen. It does not show up on the screen when I am using applications, just on YouTube. Why is that happening?

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.

BSOD when watching YouTube on Lenovo Y580

Hi,
I'm new to the Lenovo forum, but I've had my Lenovo Y580 for a long time and it hasn't given me many problems until recently. Around 4 days ago, I was watching YouTube on Google Chrome when I realized that around 60% of the time before a video starts, I would get something along the lines of "The Adobe Flash Player is required for video playback" for a 1/4 of a second, before the video would start. After watching 5-6 YouTube videos the computer froze, went to a black screen for 5 seconds, before it said "Display Driver stopped working and has recovered", and it said something about Intel drivers.
I brushed this off, but the next day while watching YouTube again, the computer froze, but this time the mouse disappeared shortly after and I was greeted with my first BSOD since I bought this computer in December 2012. It said something along the lines of "PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA", and this happened another 3 times, all after watching a couple of YouTube videos. So I finally got fed up and looked that error up, and it said memory was bad. So I tried Windows Memory Diagnostic a couple of times and it says that memory is okay. I then installed new NVIDIA and Intel Graphics drivers, and I am still getting the same crashes. I am unsure what to do right now because this only happens when I watch YouTube, for instance if I watch some YouTube the computer will crash after 30 minutes, whereas I can play BF4 for hours straight without it skipping a beat. Obviously I have been using YouTube for a long time so for this just to start happening now puzzles me. I also forgot to mention that this happens usually right after I exit the video.
Thanks for your support.

Good day.
You mention Chrome. Do you have the same difficulties with YouTube in other browsers (FF or IE)?
Regards.

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.
Get Temperature Monitor to see if it's heat related...

Crashed when watching youtube in Firefox

clean install Yosemite on mid 2014 MacBook Retina 15" first time in my life it crashes while watching YouTube - shutted down and restarted.

Firefox is known to be incompatible with some graphics card driver software; it's a moving target due to driver updates...
Other than rolling forward or rolling back the drivers and finding a compatible fit, the best workaround is to disable Firefox's use of hardware acceleration.
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
This will take effect after you exit and restart Firefox.
