YouTube app won't sign me in

It keeps kicking me to the mobile site on safari.  It says "you must sign in to youtube's website to continue" and kicks me there.  It signs me in on safari, but not on the app.  So, I can use safari for YouTube, but that makes the app pretty useless.  I've seen a couple of others with this problem, but no real fix.

Apple Devices
Apple owns and develops the YouTube application on Apple devices. Please visit Apple’s support website to contact Apple for further help.
2-step and logging in on your Apple YouTube app
If you signed up for 2-step verification, you may be asked for an application-specific password in place of your regular account password.
On the YouTube app and linked YouTube-Google accounts,
Touch Sign in
Enter your Google email address or your YouTube username
Enter your Google account password
If you receive an error message that says you've entered an incorrect password, you'll be prompted to sign in again.
Enter your Google email address/YouTube username as usual.
This time, enter your application-specific password.
You can generate an application-specific password on your Authorizing applications and sites page using a desktop.
If you're still facing troubles, using YouTube through your browser (m.youtube.com) is also a great alternative.

  • On my iPhone 5 the YouTube app won't always play videos in hd

    Whenever I go into my google YouTube application and I try to play back a video that I know is capable of being viewed in hd,my app won't always play it in that quality. I just wanna know if its just the app or something else. I normally am on wifi, my battery level is good, and I've looked for any settings but found nothing.

    there's no HD mode in the iphone youtube app..that's why i rated one star to them

  • 6790 (Surge or Slide) YouTube App won't load all m...

    I tried just going to YouTube on the web browser, but it just crashes the browser, when I get home I will ask them too but mabe somebody here knows.
    The app, when I click my user name and then select playlist, it doesn't even show half of them, and I know I don't have sharing restrictions on any of them.
    It also won't load videos in searching that I know exist that I can find when searching at home.

    I am also encountering similar problems. You Tube was working okay last week, the only thing that has changed since then is that I have created a new account on You Tube and have logged into it on my Apple TV.
    All the other internet functions are working on my Apple TV, so I wondered whether there might be a problem at Apple's end?

  • IOS7 Hotmail App won't sign in

    I've download the HotMail App for my iPhone5 and iPad3 Both I type in my user name after hitting Login its sits and winds for minutes then dumps me back out to sign in screen. I have the SykDrive App for both as well and I have no issues.
    Can't seem to find out anything at all from MS website about the program nor is it mentioned in any forums.  I use IOS7 on both the iPhone and IPad. Gmailand Yahoo!Mail app work great.
    I've IOS 7.2 the kind folks  Apple have not seen fit to update the system to 7.2 yet, in the forums

    See if the Twitter app needs an update, or delete and reinstall it. Twitter just changed their authentication process in the last few days and blocked apps using the old method.
    In general, this forum is not the best place to look for app-specific support--tweet at @mobilesupport or ask google.

  • Desktop app won't sign in with Facebook

    Hi Guys and Gals, It's been about a month that I've been without Spotify on my desktop and I can't handle it anymore! I signed out everywhere on the internet which then resulted in signing out of my desktop. I've since gone and tried to sign back in but everytime it just does the authentification and then closes the browser but doesn't sign me in. I've tried to change my browser from Safari to Mozilla to see if that made any difference but nothing. Any help peeps?!

    Hi 
    Sorry for the late reply I have been very busy of late. 
    Do you have a spotify username and password? If you do maybe try sign in with those instead
    If you do not please contact support here:
    https://www.spotify.com/about-us/contact/contact-spotify-support/?contact
    If you receive a No-Reply email that says to check out the FAQ or Community just reply to that email and Spotify support will contact you :)
    Support takes 24-48 hours to reply to you if they have not replied to you by tomorrow you can ask me here and i will escalate the issue for you :)
    I hope this helped solve your issue :)

  • Why isn't my youtube app *signed in* showing my subscriptions?

    The youtube app usually shows all my subscriptions but when I came home last night it just says theres no subscriptions and I can't re-subscribe to them because it won't let me.  Yet when I sign in on my computer all the subscriptions are all there.  Is this a problem that just started or am I really retarted about this, oh and I have an Iphone 4.

    I'm having the same problem as well - on both the iPhone4 and iPad.  I can see my subscriptions if I sign in via Safari on either of the devices, but if I try to use the built in YouTube app, it says I have no subscriptions.  This started sometime on the 11th for me. I remember watching videos that morning through the app, but they were gone when I tried that afternoon.

  • Okay so when I try to download apps on my phone a totally different Apple ID that I've never used before popped up. I've already tried settings under apps/iTunes and signed into my own apple account. But even doing so my apple Id won't show up

    Okay so when I try to download apps on my phone a totally different Apple ID that I've never used before popped up. I've already tried settings under apps/iTunes and signed into my own apple account. But even doing so my apple Id won't show up

    Try this:
    Open the iTunes app, select the Music tab, then scroll all the way down to the bottom.  Here you can sign out of any current Apple ID and sign into a new one.  Good luck!
    And just in case there is another Apple ID linked to your account you can check at http://appleid.apple.com.

  • When I try to update my youtube app, I'm asked to sign in with my Apple ID. The only problem is, it shows my sons Email instead of mine! When I go to settings my email is still there. How can I change the email when it asks me to put MY password in?

    When I try to update my youtube app, I'm asked to sign in with my apple password but the email it shows is my sons! In my settings it still shows my email. Nowhere in my settings on my Ipod or if I sign in to Apple with my computer does it show his email. Can anyone help???

    - Apps are locked to the account that purchased them. Thus it appears that yor sone purchased the app.
    - To update apps you have to sign into the account that purchased the apps. If you have apps that need updating purchased from more than one account you have to update them one at a time until the remaining apps were purchased from one account.

  • The Facebook app won't let me sign on with my account. I can sign on to another account just fine. Will not let me sign on through Safari or Google either. When I put in email and password it goes right back to the log in page. Help?

    On my iPhone 4, the Facebook app won't let me sign on with my account. I can sign on to another account just fine. The first time I sign on with the FB app it goes to the news feed page, says loading, and then flipps between loading and connection error.  If I close out of that and try to sign in again it locks up on the logging in page.  From Safari or google it goes to the log in page, after entering my email and password it goes right back to the log in page.  I have tried resetting my phone, deleting and re-installing the app and everything else I can think of.  Since I can log onto another account on my phone it can't be the app, any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

    Sounds like a hard reset is in order...

  • I'm keep getting the message "unable to authenticate" when trying to sign in to the YouTube app. The website allows me to sign in just fine. Anyone know how to fix this?

    Try "resetting" the iPad...
    Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
