Yosemite 10.10.1 causing Safari not to play YouTube videos...

Hi guys/girls,
I installed Yosemite on my iMac (20-inch, Mid 2007) when it was first released and I had no issues whatsoever.
Last night I updated Yosemite to 10.10.1 and now all of a sudden Safari Version 8.0 (10600.1.25.1) won't play any YouTube videos. All I get is a black screen with a little audio clipping.
When using Firefox (v32.1.1) or Chrome (v38.0.2125.122) everything works ok.
Any thoughts?

Thanks for the response everyone - glad I'm not the only one having this issue!
The strange thing I'm finding some mixed results:
1) Some videos give me an error message but then play ok

2) Some don't play at all and cause the spinning ball to appear (adding a new tab and closing Youtube seems to fix this)

Hopefully Apple will fix this asap!!!

  • Safari randomly stopped playing Youtube videos

    Just the other day Safari stopped playing Youtube videos. I have tried running safari in 32bit mode but nothing. I would appreciate any info or help, thanks.

    I went to http://www.youtube.com/html5 and found that I was part of the HTML5 trial for YouTube and that YouTube videos should be playing via HTML5 and not Flash.
    I left the HTML5 trial so that the video were being played by nasty old Flash... Guess what, it works.
    Videos are now playing normally using Flash.
    My suggestion is go to http://www.youtube.com/html5 and see if you are part of the HTML5 trial also, if you are, leave the trial and see how you go.

  • Safari won't play youtube videos anymore. I've never had trouble in the past. I switched to chrome but then back to safari and changed the default browser to safari. Now safari won't open any sites that require a user and password. Any suggestions?

    Hello everyone,
    I've recently been getting error messages on youtube videos when using safari. This never used to happen. I tried using chrome but it didn't take care of the problem. When I set my default browser back to safari, safari won't open any websites that require a username and password. Any suggestions?

    My case is different from those listed below.  First, I'm running OS X 10.8.5 and Safari 6.0.5.
    My problem is this:
    I run a Google search, say, "youtube somesong", and from the hit list returned from google I
    pick some selection. Youtube launches and plays the video without problems.  However, when
    i click on any of the alternate videos from the page's  vertical list, only the name of the chosen video
    appears beneath the video I just watched.  The new selection itself is not loaded by Safari.
    This occurs for any selection I choose.  My way around this problem is to force a Safari reload of
    the page by using the keyboard shortcut, Command-R.  This fills in the old video window with the
    video I just chose.  Can I conclude that this is a Safari issue alone, or is it a Safari/Youtube combo gotcha?  Anyway, the present condition *****.
    This problem began sometime after i upgraded to Mountain Lion.  I have reset Safari and have also
    deleted the Youtube.com Cache, Cookies, and Local Storage from the Privacy settings under
    System Preferences. I have also tested the problem by running Safari in 32 bit mode (no luck there).
    If anyone out there has experienced this scenario, I sure could use a little help here.

  • Safari not playing youtube videos

    safari not playing youtube videos all of a sudden plz help playing on chrome and safari plug in and flash player is up to date and java is enabled ...

    I found on an other post more informations. The problems is in OS X since Yosemite 10.10.1 it doesn't work, we will have to wait for a new Update form apple (10.10.2) to resolve that issue.
    Use an other browser instead meanwhile. For more information ; Re: Yosemite 10.10.1 causing Safari not to play YouTube videos...

  • When I try to play youtube video I get the message of blocked plug-in, and I can not play video using Safari. (Youtube works fine with google chrome) I tried installing flash player HTML5 etc... but still no difference.

    I just installed OSX Mountian Lion, and ever since then I can not play youtube video's. I get the message of 'Blocked Plug-in' in the youtube screen. I have tried installing Adobe Flash Player. HTML 5, also tried enabling/disabling java, but nothing worked out. Is there any way I can play youtbe vieos on Safar. (It works fine with Google Chrmoe, only safari has problem)

    If you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
    It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
    Try uninstalling the currently installled Flash plugin (required for most YouTube content) then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    From your Safari menu bar top of your screen click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Select:  Show Develop menu in menu bar
    Now from the menu bar click Develop > Empty Caches

    in Safari’s Preferences, select its Security tab, and make sure that its “Internet plug-ins: Allow Plug-ins” checkbox is checked.

  • Safari in 64-bit mode on Snow Leopard does not play YouTube videos

    Recently Safari stopped playing youtube videos while Safari is in 64-bit mode. The entire page renders correctly; however the area where the video is supposed to play remains a black box without controls. I can watch video from other sites, or I can watch video from youtube if I use another browser like firefox. Additionally, I can go to the youtube video owner's channel and view videos there just fine. It's only when I try to view videos that use the "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=" method of displaying a video using Safari in 64-bit mode that it fails to play -- it plays fine with Safari in 32-bit mode.

    @Annorax64: are you sure the problem is limited to the latest Flash Player? I'm pretty sure I was still running 10.1 when I first saw it, after getting an error "Safari Flash Player (Safari Internet plug-in) quit unexpectedly."
    Upgrading to 10.2 didn't help.
    It's not !. Flash player 10.1 is no better (as you can verify by downgrading here http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html)

  • Is it possible to play youtube video in safari browser on WiFi in iOS devices ?

    Hello Support,
    I have a query regarding playing you tube videos in iOS devices (like iphone,ipad). I can able to play youtube videos in safari browser in iphone on 3G data connection but can not play the same video on WiFi. I am facing the same issue in the youtube iOS application also. Is it possible to play youtube video on WiFi in iOS devices ? Please help me to fix this issue.
    Thanks

    My understanding is that you should definitely be able to play youtube videos using a Wi-Fi network. To me, it sounds as though the issue may be more network related as the videos will work over cellular data. I have a couple questions I believe could help narrow down the exact issue:
    • Is the device able to browse to other websites while connected to Wi-Fi, or will no sites work?
    • Are there other devices (iPads, iPhones, computers, etc) that work on the same Wi-Fi network?
    These are some troubleshooting articles that come to mind as well:

  • Why does Mac Safari stutter playing YouTube videos?

    While playing YouTube videos (or other streaming videos) in Safari
    using both Snow Leopard and Lion, the video's stutter and stop.
    When I use the Google Chrome browser, the videos play perfectly.
    I can find no way to set the buffering values.
    I don't feel that this is a hardware or network problem.
    This is very annoying, Apple please fix this.
    An example video:
    http://www.youtube.com/watch_popup?v=Yfbchq0xQmQ&vq=medium#t=

    You posted in the correct forum...  Most YouTube content requires the Flash plugin. Try troubleshooting.
    Quit Safari.
    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
    Now uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS'
    Very important to uninstall the currently installed Flash plugin first before reinstalling.
    Launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
    Now try a video.
    BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, 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.
    BTW, this is not an Apple issue. Flash is third party software for which Apple is not responsible for developing or updating. That's Adobe's job.

  • Can't play YouTube videos on Safari

    Hi I can't play YouTube videos on Safari any more. I have noticed that I can play videos on Safari but not on YouTube. When atempting to watch a video on You Tube it won't finish loading. It appears to load at first evenutally stops before the video can play. I then receive the "Plug-in Failure" message.
    I am using Safari 5.1.7 on Mac OS X 10.7.4. 
    I believe I am using the latest version of Abobe Flash Player, which I downloaded when I first noticed the problem.
    Please note I do not wish change to a different web browser. Thanks for reading.

    Yes, but I could be mistaken. Below is the version of Flash Player I am using:
    Shockwave Flash
    Shockwave Flash 11.3 r300 — from file “Flash Player.plugin”.

  • Jaksta not picking up youtube videos

    I have been using jaksta to compile material for my imovie projects for youtube. I have the monitor for jaksta on, but it has ceased to upload youtube videos when i play them. I have uninstalled jaksta and every possible entity on my computer, reinstalled, repeated numerous time, and yet every time with the jaksta monitor on, it does not pick up youtube videos when i play them. I went on the jaksta website under frequently asked questions, and I found a reply specifying the proper preferences. I adjusted the preferences accordingly and still nothing. It will pick up a video on bing or daily motion, but nothing on youtube. I also tried this before and after uploading the the updates.

    Not sure if you already worked it out seeing you posted this 2 years ago but I thought I'd answer your question anyway.  Jaksta no longer workers with Chrome or Safari due to default pernament https settings.  Firefox still works but for how much longer is the question.

    Hi Mohan_111
    Thank you for posting and welcome to Nokia forum! 
    Things to try:
    1. Uninstall and reinstall the Youtube downloader.
    Restart your phone
    1. Press and hold the power button until the phone vibrates and switches off.
    2. Switch your phone on again.
    Reset the settings
    Restore the original factory settings (Menu > Settings > Phone > Phone management > Factory settings > Restore). This reset will not delete any data on your phone it will just restore the settings back to default state.
    Update the software
    Make sure your phone is running the latest software. Use Nokia Suite to update or reinstall the phone software.

  • Latest Version of Player not playing YouTube videos to end.

    Version 11,4,402,287 on Chrome and Safari play YouTube video short of end.
    1080p is like 15 sec from end, 720p plays to 10 sec from end, 480p to end or just short of end.
    Seems like a buffering problem.
    But Version 11,5,31,101 on Chrome Canary plays fine.
    Mac OSX 10.7.5

    This sounds like a problem with the current version of the PPAPI version of Flash built into the Chrome browser (especially if this is fixed in a canary build.)  Try installing the system plugin version and switching Chrome to that one to see if it helps.

    Help.  I recently downloaded the latest software update for on my Apple TV (per the prompt Apple TV gave us).  Ever since downloading the update, we cannot access movies, play movies, or access iTune store.  We can play YouTube videos so the problem is not related to the connection.  It happens only when we are trying to access Movies.  Very confused.  Our AppleTV was working fine until I did the new software update.  Now this problem!  Help!

  • Flash player 11.8 does not play YouTube video Windows 7 Enterprise

    Environment:
    windows 7 enterprise 32 bit (System meets requirements for flash player)
    Workstation part of an AD Domain
    Occurs on all workstations
    Using a proxy to access the internet (this is not the problem as chrome works fine and HTML5 works fine)
    Flash Player 11.8
    Browsers: IE 8, IE9, IE10, FireFox, Chrome
    Chrome plays videos fine
    HTML5 Player plays fine in all browsers
    IE8, 9, and 10 do not play videos; it starts to play then loops then dies with youtube error message
    FireFox does not play youtube videos same as IE
    I tried all solutions found on the internet, adjusting browser settings or uninstalling and reinstalling flash none of it worked.

    Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by clicking the following links.
