You Tube App no longer working iPad1 Workaround loses all my saved favorites Why?

Hi everyone!
The default youtube app on my iPad1, IOS 5.1.1 stopped working about a week ago, presenting "cannot connect to You Tube " as the only Error message.  No Explanation.. no choices... . It shows a sign in screen, no data can be accepted as it says it "cannot connect to You Tube".
I tried contacting You Tube by various means.  Almost impossible to get through.  I got a phone number.  But they had overload for a week or two now, so saying call back at another time for the "You Tube" choice 3.  Now it says Choice 5 for You Tube questions and a recorded message (no possibility to speak to a human) directs us to go to "You Tube" .com / support.  No help there...  old old connection problems solved back in 2009 and iPods, iPhones  NO iPads at all...  Frustrated...I left that avenue.
I went to this Help Forum called reddit (before I realized they stole your apple logo) but their answers said to try using the Internet version of You Tube to get around this problem.  So I managed to get the You Tube "mobile" connection on the web to work instead.
BUT!  All my saved/favorites from the iPad 1  are missing!
Instead there is a hodgepodge of various You Tubes I've views on other computer devices I've used to access the web from the same ISP, but NOT the sign in /log in for the iPad1!
How to get my old iPad login working again for all of my favorite You Tube (mostly valuable computer tutorials?  Mostly they are on how to use various apps on the iPad that would take long time or "forever" to search again to get back.
How to get all my years (five!!) of saved favorite You Tubes  I carry with me on the iPad back again?  (I can't carry a desktop computer around, right?).
What is going on here?? 
Does anyone else experience this problem?
The initial question here came up empty as no one on Apple Community has asked this question before!  Does that mean I'm the only one here asking about the You Tube App on the Apple Community?
Thank you for reading my long trial and error in trying to repair this issue.

From what I have been reading on other sites, the app stopoed working when the iPhone 4S was released since it includes Siri. If you look at the box on the right of this thread, you will see other threads just like this one on how the app no longer works.

  • You Tube videos no longer work after Flash Player upgrade

    I am running Win XP 2002 with SP3 and Firefox 3.6.15.  I just upgraded flash player and now the You Tube videos no longer display.  The You Tube sound works.  IE has not be affected and I can see the You Tube videos.  Firefox does display videos from Netflix and news sites but not You Tube.  Your company wants $39.00 to solve a problem that is the result of your efforts, not mine.  I think that is wrong.  So what do I do so I can resume using Firefox to view You Tube videos?

    To eidnolb/anyone else who can help?
    I am having a great deal of issues trying to sort out the flash player.  Tried uninstalling/reinstalling the flash player, however I still get the same messages on sites such as youtube, bbc that I do not have the correct version installed and to install version 10.
    I notice that you have mentioned to right click the flash symbol and then on to settings on the link page that you provided, unfortunately, all i can see is a plain box with a cross in the top left hand corner, and when i right click, there is no Settings option. i have run malware and other sytem scans and have removed any issues that there might have been, all still to no avail.
    Any further help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    I know you went to the menu,but have you tried powering off the phone completely & then turning it back on? You may want to clear the data or cache from the app. See then if it starts working....

  • Brand new IPOD Touch Apps no longer work after upgrading software

    I got a Ipod touch for my wife Today at Wal-Mart. I brought it home, connected to wifi and downloaded some apps and also payed for some. They all worked fine. Then I connected to computer to transfer songs. It told me to upgrade the Ipod software so i Did. After it restarted none of the downloaded apps work anymore. I have read MANY MANY MANY discussions on this and there is no fix. I am not wiping out all the songs and reload everything all over again. It will take forever. My wifes BD is Friday and this is making me so mad after I just dropped $300 on this thing. APPLE!!! Where is the fix? I deleted the apps and reinstalled they still don't work. Anybody got this figured out? I am getting ready to get my money back and tell everyone to avoid buying ipod until they get this upgrade bug fixed.
    Message was edited by: 2009 IPOD TOUCH

    I have the same problem. Brand new two days ago. I synched the touch with Itunes but wasn't hooked up to the internet at the time so didn't do the software upgrade right away. Then I downloaded about a dozen apps (free and paid) with wifi directly to the touch. They all worked fine. Then I plugged it back in to Itunes and had it upgrade it to 3.1.2. It locked up Itunes several times since then and the downloaded apps no longer work (they start to open then disappear).
    The problem is, no one is listening to this problem (including Anna above)! Everyone says "just do a hard reboot, or restore to factory settings, reload the apps, etc." I've tried all the standard troubleshooting but none of it fixes this. It sure seems to me this is a problem with 3.1.2 but Apple isn't helping out here. Where are you APPLE? Use some of those outrageous profits you're making to fix the problem you have created. Here's $300 of my hard earned dollars pretty much down the drain.

  • I have ios 5.1.1. When I sync to iTunes, my purchased apps no longer work. They blink but do not open. The only way I have been able to solve this, is as follows: I delete one of the apps and then re-download and install it. Then, all my apps work.

    My new iPod touch 64 Gig has a problem after syncing with iTunes. My purchased apps no longer work. I touch them and they seem to try to open but they do not.
    The only way I have found to fix this is as follows:
    I delete one of the purchased apps. Then I go to the App Store and re-download and install the same app. After that, all my apps work again.
    Please help.

    Download/install an app is a know possible solution.
    3. Install another app from the App Store
    If all user-installed apps are not launching, it could be an Apple ID authorization issue. Download and install an app that isn't already installed on your device to reset this information.
    Note: If you have installed apps using multiple Apple ID accounts, you may need to perform this step for each account.

  • IPad app no long works after upgrading to iOS 7.1.1

    iPad app no long works after upgrading to iOS 7.1.1

    Did you try deleting then reinstalling the app?  Sometimes developers will need to update their apps for compatibility.  If it still doesn't work after reinstalling, wait a few days to see if an app update becomes available.

    my ipod app no longer works. Everytime I go to open the ipod app it stays open for a second and then shuts down.

    wen i open ipod in my iphone ,, it gets stuck ,, and get backs to the menu ,,, and doesnot play anything ,, not video nor song

    If your phone is not officially unlocked by the carrier in the UK, you can not use the phone using another SIM, unless you modify the software or the SIM, which can lead to unexpected results, such as non functioning apps.
    Unauthorized modification of iPhone OS has been a major source of instability, disruption of services, and other issues

  • Apps no longer working on Original iPhone...

    Acckk!
    As each new upgrade happens some of my apps no longer work and there is no access to older versions of these apps.
    Scanforlife, on this day, etc. now refuse to load on to the phone. Have had issues with AOL Radio which no longer works and was on my main screen, but had to take it off as it wasn't working.
    Appears that one way or another our original iphones are truly being set out to pasture.

    Do you have backups of your hard disc/library to restore the original Apps (ips files) after deleting the updated ones ?

  • My facebook app no longer works for my iphone after i sync it to my laptop!

    Why does my facebook app no longer works for my iphone after i sync it to my mac book pro?
    I added this app for facebook and then i synced it up with my mac book pro, but afterwards it lost the app, and I can't download it anymore... why is that?
    And how do I manage to put it back on my iphone?

    Hello hersheygirle,
    Welcome to the Discussions Boards.
    Re-download the Facebook APP on your computer and then sync it to the iPhone.
    Make sure your computer is logged into the same iTunes ID that shows up on your iPhone when you try to download an APP on the iPhone.

  • Why is my Siri Assistant app no longer working

    Have had the Siri Assistant since last December.  Love it.  Use it all the time.  About two months ago I started getting "failure to connect to server" errors when launching the app.  Now it trys to launch as a brand new app "hello, I'm Suri you're new assistant!"  Then it tells me there is no network connection or slow connection.  Try again or start over gives the same result

  • Can I retrieve my you tube app

    Can I retrieve my you tube app?  I downloaded iOS 6!

    Expanding on what Shellz said, YouTube app is not included with iOS 6. Google offers their own app for free via the iTunes Store, though they do not yet have an iPad version. The iPhone version will work, though not at the full screen size. There are also third-party alternatives, one of which may suit you better. Jasmine is one that a number of people are recommending.

  • Did you tube app go away with the new iOS 6?

    Did you tube app go away with the new iOS 6?

    Yes. You will either need to try one of the YouTube apps from the store (there is an iPhone optimised app from google, and other people have said that they are working on an iPad version), or try accessing the mobile version via Safari : http://m.youtube.com (you can create a home screen shortcut for the site)
