Why do youtube videos start,freeze & then won't pause,play or anything,except maybe play a few secs.?

i have vista 32-bit & as i type a youtube video that i tried to pause i can hear play a sec. or 2,but won't continuously play.this happens on all my browsers,ie,chrome,firefox,& all youtube videos.i've tried uninstalling & reinstall chrome,firefox & flashplayers,no good.this started after malwarebytes (thank them) unlocked my pc from reveton-fbi-ransomware virus!any solutions out there?Thanx in advance.can't watch videos anywhere damn!

Recent crashes of certain multimedia contents (this includes Youtube videos, certain flash games and other applications) in conjunction with Firefox are most probably caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and/or a malfunctioning Real Player browser plugin.
In order to remedy the problem, please perform the steps mentioned in these Knowledge Base articles:
[[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems]]
[[Flash 11.3 crashes]]
[[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]

Why do online videos start and stop and what to do about it

why do online videos start and stop and what to do about it

It usually means a slow internet connection, or inadequate hardware or both.
It is not a 10.6 problem as such as 10.6 handles video streaming quite well.
In your post this tag seems incongruous in this 10.6 category.

Why do YouTube videos stop? I have restarted,reset, played thru email and played thru app. It plays on my desktop fine.

Okay... No flash... understand...
So I went ahead and installed YouTube app on my IPhone... but now when I select the youtube video from Facebook I get into youtube and I can see the video I 'm trying to play, but now a message appears over the video "The content owner has not made this video available on mobile. Add to playlist to watch it later on a PC." At that point I was able to seach & select other videos by the artist (George Strait) off youtube and play them pkay on my Iphone, but not this particular one posted on facebook. Oh well.. I've spent enough time on this one, I know when I can't get there from here..
Thanks razmee209 for your help, its much appreciated..

Why do youtube videos freeze

I upgraded My PC HP D530 mtc To 4GB Corsair Memory Ram & also upgraded from Win Xp Pro To Win 7 Ultimate And Last Of All I Upgraded My Graphic's Card To 512mb Nvidia Geforce 6200. I Have Defraged My Pc Etc,But My Pc Seems To Take Ages To Open Next Page & Also Youtube Video's Keep Buffering And Also Freeze. I Would Be Highly Greatful If You Can Help Me Pls. Thank You

Hello Promusicman,
You specifically mention Youtube videos is that the only website that freezes. What if you watch videos on other websites such as break.com do they freeze there as well.
Youtube also sometimes defaults itself to high definition videos which does take more bandwith to watch, if you watch in a lower quality does it still take a long time?

Why do YouTube videos sputter on iPad?

I have a 10mb cable company connection and an apple base station.
All is fine surfing, downloading etc. everything exc,eat trying to watch a YouTube video.
The video starts, stops, starts then stops for a few minutes then starts again. If I click pause I expect it to continue downloading so I can then watch but it does not do that.
Why is this happening with just YouTube?
Any advice?

Your wireless connection/speed is probably the limiting download speed factor>>
That's what I was thinking. When downloading I watch the status bar and it is usually about 140-180 "somethings" per sec. but sometimes it just dies at about 15-20.
Is your wireless "b", "g" or "n"?>>
I've no idea what that means or what I have : ( It is Sprint Broadband. As you know, many of the big companys are wired into the Windoze/MicroDevil stuff so I have no software available on the CD they supply. In fact no prefs are offered beyond Show time or status of hookup. I had to go to their website to download an installer .dmg!
If you make an ethernet cable connection (non-wireless), do you still get the sputter?>>
I'm on the road in a motor home so I've never done anything but Airport and Sprint. But it is the same with my iBook and my Pismo. Does processor speed play any role in the down loads? I have a 120 Gb 5400 Seagate Momentus to put in my Pismo. I was wondering if a side benefit would be faster web work?
Re replay - after you have watched a video once,>>
Duh! I kinda thought that's what you meant. Since I rarely see a vid all the way through, I've never tried it...well maybe the cat Nora playing the piano, but only that one : )
Shoul play at proper speed.>>
I'll try it out. It is just so frustrating to wait with all the stop/start stumbles.
Thanks

Why does YouTube video load so slow in Safari

When I go to YouTube to look at any video with Safari ( 5.1.7 ) on my iMac the video never loads up correctly. I try to pause the video to let it load up but the video won't pause right away. Then I get the spinning beach ball. The video will not play until the entire page is loaded and the video has to be loaded before it will play correctly. This has been going on for at least four or five months. Now if I use Firefox ( 4.0 ) there is no problem at all. I don't want to use Safari for everything and then use Firefox just to look at YouTube. Anybody have any clues or answers?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. For instructions, launch the System Preferences application, select Help from the menu bar, and enter “Set up a guest account” (without the quotes) in the search box. Don't use the Safari-only Guest login created by Find My Mac.
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your personal files or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem(s)?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in Mac OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The Guest login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under Mac OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, you can’t boot in safe mode.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of steps 1 and 2.

Youtube video playback freeze

Hi,
I've been experiencing a lot video playback freezing, I've noticed it happens on youtube. It is not my internet connection, the video freeze even it's already been downloaded. It happens with all video resolution from 360P to Full HD, I've tried all majors Internet browser: Firefox, Safari, Chrome.
I have Leopard, a 2.4Ghz Core 2 Duo with 2GB of RAM.
A 250GB HD with (at least) 10GB of free space.
It shouldn't freeze for so low quality videos.
Any help?
Cheers,
-- rafael

Do you have powered speakers or headphones plugged in?
If so, try unplugging them and seeing if it will play the video.
I started having this problem right in the middle of watching a video and it would freeze playback every time I plugged in my speakers. Internet searching yielded no results, but an OS software update from 10.6.2 to 10.6.4 fixed my problem. You say you have Leopard, so I am not sure if a software update is available for you, but check under the apple menu > Software Update. If there is an update related to the operating system, install that. It worked for me!

Why are YouTube videos not loading properly on Safari?

YouTube videos on Safari are not loading properly. It is as if the YouTube viewing window loads right-justified on the screen. Which ends up being like almost a perfect square on the screen, with the unfortunate result that part of the video is truncated at the right. The same exact video on Chrome loads just fine.
I've just updated Flash and the problem persists.
Here's a screenshot.
The right part of the image shows a "Google 414 That's an Error" along with the description "The requested URL/adi/N8380.280090.ACCORDANTMEDIA/B7762596.101545485... is too large to process. That’s all we know."
Is anyone else having the same issue?

Hi Carlos ...
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
Click Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
Back to Safari. Press Command + Option + E to empty the Safari cache.
Quit and relaunch Safari, try a video.
And make Allow all other plug-ins is selected in Safari > Preferences > Security
Command , (comma) will open the Safari preferences pane for you, or from your Safari menu click Safari > Preferences
If nothing above helped, try troubleshooting Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

Why has youtube video downloading stopped working?

Until a few days ago, I was able to play and download videos from YouTube. Then, for reasons inexplicable and confounding, they have stopped downloading altogether. My software program for downloading is Speedbit's Video Downloader which works just fine elsewhere. So what has caused the problem with YouTube?

Why do YouTube videos lag when I switch to 720p?

Hi guys,
I'm extremely annoyed by the fact that everytime I watch a YouTube video and switch the quality from a standard 480p to a 720p or 1080p HD, the video gets lagged out. After restarting my Macbook Pro, it gets better and in a short while when I try to view it in 720p again, it gets laggy again. I have no problems viewing it in 320p or 480p. I notice this happens after I installed a number of updates on my Mac OS X 10.
Here's a list of updates I made.
(1) iTunes 10.4
(2) Mac OS X Update 10.6.8
(3) iMovie 9.0.4
(4) Remote Desktop Client Update 3.5.1
(5) Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update 3.7
(6) Java for Mac OS X 10.6 Update 5 1.0
(7) AirPort Utility 5.5.3
(8) Migration Assistant Update for Mac OS X 1.0
(9) Safari 5.1
(10) iDVD 7.1.2
(11) ProApps QuickTime codecs 1.0
Does anybody have any idea which of these updates that has caused my Macbook Pro to react unusually? Everything seems pretty normal except this YouTube video.
Thanks.

A lot of people on the other forums seem to suggest it's the internet connection.
I can tell you for one that I have never experienced anything like this before. In the past two years with the same internet plan, I have been able to watch 720p and 1080p HD YouTube videos without any problem. Just today after installing those updates, the video gets lagged whenever I switched to 720p HD.
I just restarted my Macbook Pro and everything is fine for now. In half an hour or so, it's gonna happen again.

Why are youtube videos downloading as htlm documents and not mp4

I was able to download YouTube videos as MP4 by default. However for the last week or so, the videos are downloaded as HTML Document File. Please advise what do I need to do to revert to download as MP4. Thanks

Hello, can you please tell us by what means you download the videos. Is it any Add-on or other tools.

Why are YouTube videos blank?

It seems that only embedded YouTube videos have issue with Safari. I have the latest version of Safari and Flash, have removed and reinstalled both applications several times and other Flash content plays fine (videos on Newgrounds and Hulu, content on Adobe's site, etc). The only things I cannot play are embedded YouTube videos or videos located on YouTube's site. Nothing shows up at all. Just a negative space where the Flash embed should be. I do not have this issue with the latest version of Firefox.

sorry, did a search and nothting came up for some reason, but as i posted i see posts on the right that sound like my problems so i'm tryin them as i see them and updating my question accordingly.....said to turn off extensions...and that was my first solution the last time this happened, and they have never since been turned on....so they are already off....so that's not helping either...

Why are YouTube videos so slow to load?

Hi Gang,
I've been greatly enjoying the Pismo I totally revamped with help from JPL and Cornelius. It's now faster than my G4 12". But Youtube videos are painfully slow to load. If they finally do load, the motion is usually quite jerky and out of sync. Just tried three different videos on the Salon site and none of them would load. This is not the case with other videos (QuickTime or RealPlayer). Is this a hardware, software or site problem, and is there anything I can do about it? Thanks for any insight you can give.

GB:
I am able to watch streaming video on my Pismo, but I can't be doing much else on the computer. However, I don't do YouTube and I don't know how that will work. But I do watch news clips or streaming video from CNN, for example. I watch it the default size, and it is fine, with a little problem with video/sound synchronization. Streaming video works a lot better for me with Real Play, though. Almost perfect even with their max size. That is true even on my wife's Pismo with a regular 500 MHz processor and 640 MB of RAM.
I agree with Jon and jpl on the video card limitation. To the best of my knowledge it can not be upgraded.
Cheers
cornelius

Why do Youtube video clips and all others, for that matter, take hours to load and never play properly?

My java script is enabled, my machine running latest versions of Firefox and Windows and yet it is impossible to download and play any video clips as it takes forever to load and play and still does not play the clips as they were intended.

Since you mention Internet Explorer, I assume that you are on Windows.
Do you sometimes clear your browser cache? (Tools | Internet Options | tab General | Delete browsing history)
Do you sometimes clear Flash Player local storage? (Control Panel | Flash Player Settings Manager | tab Storage | Delete all)
Does enable/disable Hardware Acceleration make any difference? (See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/891337)
Do you have the latest graphics drivers installed? (See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765)
Finally, is your Internet connection stable?
