You Tube videos don't play. The site comes up, but a blank white screen where the video should be.

When I try to play videos from You Tube, I get a blank white screen where the video should be. When I go to full screen the whole screen is white. Originally the white screen happened on the expanded view only.
IE doesn't have the problem, but Google chrome and Firefox 4.0 do.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.

HT201263 My ipad will not show the recovery mode, it goes into DFU mode just fine, but whenever I put it in recovery mode I get nothing but a blank white screen. After doing a restore or update itunes gives me error 37. This all happened due to a failed u

I updated from ios 5.0.1 to 5.1. Midway through the update itunes crashed. I got it all working again and ever since I have been stuck in a recovery loop. DFU mode works fine, but when I go into recovery mode (yes I am doing it right, yes I have tried pwning, tinyumbrella, etc.) it still just gives me a white screen (I am not getting the plug arrow and itunes icon screen that shows up when you are in recovery mode). I am a huge fan of hacking, mods, and jbs, BUT have never done any on the iPad, (found it pointless).. nevertheless, I am stuck thanks to apple in a white screen and a nonworking iPad. If anyone has any ideas that does not include jbs, updating, restoring, restoring with internet off, restoring in DFU, I would gladly appreciate it. I would take it to the apple store but it was a friends and I didn't purchase it. My friend had the issue formerly and they had no idea what to do at apple (they usually try DFU, restore, and then have nothing else to tell you.

There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it.

Why arent any videos working on my firefox browser? Youtube has an error message, and all other videos and ads come up with a blank white screen

It's one of those problems where it works like one minute, and then suddenly stops working the next. I know for a fact it has to do with the flash player in some way. I've had this problem before and found the solution, but for some reason i cant find it again, and forgot how i solved it. I've tried to redownload both adobe flash player and firefox but it didnt solve anything, disabling adblock doesnt help, disabling the hardware acceleration a little but useless difference, i have tried to disable the flash player add-ons and enabled them, both dont work, i only have 1 version of flashplayer( the most recent), and I am too frustrated to keep searching for an answer that is correct, when all i can find are the wrong ones over and over again . If anyone knows how to solve the problem where the FIREFOX(only) browser shows youtube as having the error " an error has occurred. Please try again later. " and all other videos and ads have a white blank screen, PLEASE help
also, everything works on google chrome and IE

also, the last solution i had didnt require me to install an earlier version of flashplayer or firefox, and it was the same problem

You Tube videos play for 2-3 seconds. I have tried all the fixes listed on this site.

You tube videos were playing well and then started to load slow and play video for 2-3 seconds at a time. We updated Adobe Flash player and Internet explored to version 11 and tried all the listed fixes but nothing is fixing the problem.

1. If Side Switch is set to Mute, check to make sure it's not muted

2. Check the Volume buttons

3. Double-click the Home button; swipe the Task Bar to the right. Check the Mute and Volume settings.

do u have your ipad doing airplay because that could happen

I tried playing a you tube video, but received a message prompt to download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player. The link to Adobe stated that there are issues with MAC OS X 10.7 and Flash Player 10.3. The new version did not download. Any Suggestion

I live in the Atlanta area. I use Internet Explorer and have Windows 7. I can't play You Tube videos. I keep getting this message: An error occurred, please try again later. Please help!

First, confirm that ActiveX Filtering is configured to allow Flash content:
https://forums.adobe.com/thread/867968
Internet Explorer 11 introduces a number of changes both to how the browser identifies itself to remote web servers, and to how it processes JavaScript intended to target behaviors specific to Internet Explorer. Unfortunately, this means that content on some sites will be broken until the content provider changes their site to conform to the new development approach required by modern versions of IE.
You can try to work around these issues by using Compatibility View:

If that is too inconvenient, using Google Chrome may be a preferable alternative.

You tube videos play about 11 seconds and then reset to the beginning...why?

You tube videos play about 11 seconds and then reset to the beginning and if i jump ahead in the video, it will play for a few seconds and then reset to the point that I jumped to. This started happening yesterday, 10/7/11. It only happens with you tube videos in the firefox browser. Videos from others sites such as vimeo play normally. You tube videos play normally using internet explorer. This is a windows 7 machine.

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

You tube videos do not play and other sites, ie property, do not display pictures, running 7.0.1

looking at estate agent web sites recently which contain series of pics which you can see as slide shows in an enlarged window do not appear in larger window, but are visable as thumb nails, also you tube videos do not run. This is not the case in internet explorer

Here is a solution for the videos anyway first install the firefox add on Add-on Compatibility Reporter that can be found here
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
next restart firefox then install the add on unplug that is found here
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/unplug/
once that is done you might need to make sure that unplug is enabled. if done correctly after its setup you should be able to use the web player you have installed in windows to stream the videos you find on the net.

TS1398 Unable to play you tube videos. I can access the video, but it won' t play

My iPad will access you tube videos but, will not play them. What could be causing this problem?

This forum is not for technical/problem questions. Your post will be moved to the Snow Leopard 10.6.x forum.

I have an ipad 2 and when connected to my wifi at home it will not download and play you tube videos quickly. Do I need to upgrade my connenction speed? What is the optimal speed?

I have an ipad2. When connected to my wifi at home it will not download you tube videos for easy viewing. Do I need to upgrade my connection speed? Would 3 Mbps be enought or do I need to go to 6 Mbps. I mainly use my ipad to view emails, browse the internet and watch you tube videos.
thanks - Michelle

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
There are a number of factors in the 'speed' equation. Any or all of them can affect the 'observed' speed of your connection.
1. Are you in a neighborhood full of WiFi routers (and thus, lots of WiFi interference)? I can 'see' at least 22 other WiFi routers from my living room!
2. What is the maximum connect speed and band and bandwidth available from your wireless router. Is it 802.11n or the older 802.11a/b/g? 300Mbits or 150Mbits? 2.4Ghz or 5Ghz or both? Does your router measure (QoS) Quality of Service and can it change 'channels' automatically?
3. What is the observed strength of your wireless connection? Are you getting at least 80% signal when connected? Are there other people in your family also using significant bandwidth at the same time (Netflix, streaming video, streaming audio, game systems)
4. What is the "advertised" speed of your current ISP connection?
5. What is the measured throughput of your current setup. Go to speedtest.net or use the free speedtest.net app available in the App Store. Try several times, from different locations in your home, and at different times of day and night.
I have AT&T DSL advertised at 3Mbit/sec down and 512Kbit/sec up. My Speedtest.net measured throughput is about 2.4 Mbit/sec downstream and upstream is about 0.4Mbit/sec. I'm using a Motorola Netopia 2210-2 DSL modem. I have no problem viewing YouTube videos and other mobile video content on the iPad 2. I'm connected wirelessly to a D-Link DIR-655 Gigabit router rated at 150Mbps at 2.4Ghz (only) with 802.11 b/g/n enabled. The interior of my home is within a range of 30-50 feet from the router and no more than 1 wall. It is a single level concrete slab foundation of about 1500 sq. ft. with cathedral ceilings. I have successfully streamed ESPN3.com on my MacBook at the same time my son was streaming another ESPN3.com game on his MacBook Pro. I've streamed YouTube videos while my son was watching a NetFlix movie on his Wii game system. He's also successfully used Skype for extended 'teleconferences.' None of my devices are connected to HDMI on a large screen TV. 95% of the time, I can do iChat video without any signal breakup to my son (who is at a college with a Gigabit (1000Mbit) wired connection!). 5% of the time the connection drops. We haven't tried FaceTime (designed for mobile connections to be much less bandwidth-intensive, from what I understand) simply because we both have iChat on our computers.
So for me, a 3Mbit DSL connection is absolutely adequate, given all the other parameters mentioned. As the car manufacturers say, "Your mileage may vary."

Why is Firefox crashing when I am playing You Tube favorites playlists and other You Tube videos?

Lately within the last 2-3 weeks I have had a lot of crashes on my computer when I am running Firefox version 3.6.3 and trying to watch You Tube videos. It seems to only crash when I am on You Tube. It crashes even quicker when I am on Internet Explorer or Google Chrome. I have installed the latest version of Adobe Flashplayer recently. I never had trouble watching You Tube videos until recently. The You Tube site will open, I sign in, and then I go to my subscriptions or favorites and select a video. It will begin to play, get a minute or so in, and then I get the error message that it's crashed.
== Crash ID(s) ==
ID: 0fbb30ce-0fdd-4423-9aa3-3f8fe2100528 Signature: cabac_mb_skip

I am not sure I did this right. This is what I did: right-mouse clicked on the desktop, whent to properties, went to display properties, went to settings, clicked on advanced tab, and then clicked on troubleshooting tab. There I drug the hardware acceleration slider to the left to disable it, clicked ok twice as directed, restarted the computer and then I couldn't get firefox to open at all, but I went to internet explorer and got on you tube and tried to watch a video, but it crashed again.
So I don't think that worked. I couldn't figure out how to disable hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin, but did it on the desktop instead. Are there different steps I need to take to accomplish this?
Thank you!

Monitor won't enter power save after playing You Tube videos...

Hi
An issue has developed on my system in the last couple of months for which, after having done a lot of research and testing, a solution has not been found. After playing a video in You Tube, my monitor won't go into power save mode after the prescribed time. It tries to go off for a second and the screen goes blank but then comes straight on again. This happens after playing the You Tube videos in Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer. I am running Windows XP Professional and I have the latest version of Adobe Flashplayer installed, the latest graphics card drivers, the latest version of direct x 9.0c.
To clear this error, I have to go into my XP power schemes settings and change it to another power scheme and then change it back to my default power scheme. However, as soon as I play another you tube video the same problem re-occurs.
I have tried turning off hardware acceleration but this makes no difference. My graphics card is a Gigabyte gv-nx86t512h: http://uk.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=2604#ov
This never used to happen until recently. It seems that there is something with the Flashplayer that is not compatible with Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer etc.
Any ideas as to what may be causing this and what can be done to overcome it would be greatly appreciated as it is a real nuisance.
Many thanks.
D

thanks for your suggestions.
i found the solution/workaround from somone else on the adobe forums:
Go to control panel, display, screen saver, choose a random screen saver, set a long time (i.e. 60 min, but always longer than your monitor shut off time), then select no screen saver, and save! Simple as that…

No sound when playing you tube videos

recently the sound stopped playing with the you tube videos.
The sound for other stuff works find, ads from a newspaper, itunes, web sites, just you tube.
Any advice as to where to look in you tube or a plug in that you tube requires in order to play the audio.
Again the video plays fine.
Thanks
Greg

You can look through this for a couple of other suggestions.
iOS: Troubleshooting apps purchased from the App Store
The article will talk about closing the app, deleting the app and reinstalling it and resetting/rebooting the iPad like I suggested. Sometimes another app could be causing a conflict, so you might want to try closing all apps and restart the iPad. Closing apps is covered in the article.
One other thing that you could try is Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will not lose any data, but you will have to enter all of the device settings again.
