Youtube has stopped working properly on my macbook.

I get the home screen but when I click on a videp it comes on with soubd but the picture is all pixillated and fractured. It looks as though it is being blocked. Does anyone know of this problem or whether it's curable?

its a MAC you dont have to worry about virus regardless of www browser, thats in the OS, not the browser,
I only suggested downloading chrome and firefox and seeing if you have same VID issues,..... its quickest process of elimination path for seeing what the ROOT CAUSE of your youtube issue is.
its nearly a sure thing its your flash player plugin, or an issue with a cookie in Safari

Youtube has stop working properly, just goes to the end and doesn't play. Firefox ver. 30.0

I've been using Youtube fine for years in Firefox but all of a sudden yesterday videos doesn't play right from Youtube in Firefox. The video tries to load for a bit then just goes to the end and if I click the play button it's stuck in endless loading.
It seems to be only a Youtube plus Firefox related problem. Dailymotion and other flash videos from other websites loads right and I can load Youtube videos in Internet Explorer just fine.
I've tried many methods in the search related threads here in the support section and they were of no help. I've uninstalled and reinstall Flash multiple times. I'm truly lost now on what to do here. I would like to continue using Firefox as my main browser.

Hello,
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. [[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] 
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

I get the following message: Mozilla Firefox plugin-container has stopped working properly. What do I do?

the message:" Mozilla Firefox plugin-container has stopped working properly" appears regularly in my maintenance center. I am on Windows 7 and Firefox 3.6.17

I had the same type of failure. It was caused by a FF upgrade from V4 to V9.1. Dearing 1955 did not say what version caused the problem. My USB ports started acting up. I could not install the Webcam that was installed before. The HP Scanner of my OJ 8500 stopped working (USB). Did get it to work via Wireless. Removing FF did not clear the problem. Believe I have infected USB driver now.

ITunes has stopped working properly.

iTunes has stopped working properly.

Ok.
3 days ago, for no apparent reason my itunes stopped working.
This only happens after it has "synced" with the itunes store and prepares to upload remaining songs.
NOTHING has changed since then other than downloading latest itunes (11.1...whatever) which i was recommended to do after it stopped working.
I am using windows 7
Latest itunes version (for windows)
I have thousand of songs in icloud, which were uploading fine until 3 days ago.
Windows message reads something like: Itunes has stopped working properly, windows will now close the programme blah blah balh.
Bit annoyed. Tried copying the dll file from QT that somebody mentioned earlier. Also tried "repairing" programme and re-downloading update.
Not working still!!!! HELP PLEASE!!!

Mozilla Firefox plugin-container has stopped working properly

Mozilla Firefox plugin-container has stopped working properly. FOR THE UMPTEENTH DAMN TIME... HOW DO I FIX THIS on Firefox 3.6.13!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
''edited by a moderator - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Forum+and+chat+rules+and+guidelines ''

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process.

Clone tool has stopped working properly, the sample area doesn't follow the target area?

Clone tool has stopped working properly, the sample area doesn't follow the target area?

I understand. I was very unhappy with Adobe when my PSE 11 stoped working properly. I had it for only about 6-7months before I updated my software on my imac and it all went downhill.... Then to add to that my Adobe account was hacked. Adobe never informed me of this situation. I heard through a friend that I should check to see if I was one of the very many who's online accounts were tampered with. I had to reset every single password and username for nearly 30 online accounts to avoid any further tampering with the hackers. And all Adobe suggested was for me to pay for an upgrade to PSE 12 which I did but wasnt very impressed to say the least ( i was on an online chat with them for over 2hours trying to get my PSE 11 issues solved to no avail). Then this sluggish performance starts happening again using the new version PSE 12?. I'm going to stay clear of adobe if I have the option to purchase similiar software from another supplier. I would and will encourage anyone else who has problems with there software to do the same. Older versions should work perfectly fine for ages. I wonder If Adobe is trying to get us all to pay for the monthly subscription option(s) to avoid having issues with older versions of their software. As the subscription option keeps you ontop of all the latest versions... I wouldn't put it past them.
All the best returned,
Ray

Spotlight has stopped working properly. Even when a known file is entered (with full file name) in search, it fails to find it. Any ideas?

Spotlight has stopped working properly. Even when a known file is entered (with full file name) in search, it fails to find it. It finds some things, but is not to be depended upon. Any ideas?

Try reindexing spotlight: Spotlight: How to re-index folders or volumes - Apple Support
If you still have problems, open Console app, select All Messages, then search for mds in the search field. Then search for mdworker. See if there are any messages indicating it is having problems with certain files.
You can also delete the index altogether and cause it to reindex with a command in Terminal. I have always assumed the method above will do the same, but I'm not certain. You must run this command while logged into an admin account. Copy the whole line and paste it into Terminal.
sudo mdutil -E /
sudo temporarily elevates your privileges and will ask for your password. When you type it in, there won't be any response in the Terminal. Just type it and hit return.

Hi my iPod touch gen 4 has stopped working properly and App Store will not load but Internet will, also you tube also won't load. Any ideas?

Hi my iPod touch gen 4 has stopped working properly and App Store will not load but Internet will, also you tube also won't load. Any ideas? I should probaly also add that I have also recently tried to download a screen recorder from safari and a message keeps popping up and saying that it can't verify server, even for this website

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
Files cannot be downloaded from Safari on an iPod touch.

Intel display driver has stopped working properly, distributed by Lenovo

Toshiba Satellite L355-S7915 with Windows Vista Home Basic SP2 32-bit: Keep getting "Intel display driver has stopped working properly and has recovered" when turn on computer or log on with new user. Driver version is 7.15.10.1829. This is more of an annoyance, which I can enter through and continue, but I would like to get the messages to stop. Any ideas? Thanks.

Me too, only I am using a desktop through e machines with an Intel 82945G Express Chiplet Family. And my pc just crashes and it is getting very annoying! for the longest time Vista couldn't provide a solution and today is sent my to Lenovo. I may be out of touch with the tech world but to my understanding I don't have anything "Lenovo" unless thats the new fancy name for Intel. But I can't seem to find a solution for this problem and am sick of it! Any advice? thanks and happy holidays!

TS2634 My iPad Charger has stopped working after plugging into MacBook Air?

Hello there,
I have owned my iPad Mini for about 2 months now, and the charger has stopped working. It sometimes works on my MacBook Air, but often I get a popup on my computer saying, "To prevent damaging your computer, the USB device drawing too much power has been disabled. Other devices may have also been disabled. When you disconnect the device drawing too much power, your other USB devices will be enabled again." I have tried plugging my iPad into a wall charger, but it still does not charge. There is a small hole and the first part of the cable from the iPad is a bit twisted. Is there any way of fixing this, or do I have to buy another?

Computer USB ports often do not provide enough power to charge an iPad efficiently. The best way to charge an iPad is with the charger that came with the iPad.
Sounds like your cable is damaged too and needs to be replaced. My suggestion would be to buy two so that you have a backup. If your iPad has a lightning connector be sure to buy a name brand cable, either Apple or another well known brand. Do not buy cheap knockoff cables on eBay and they may not be certified to work with an iPad and you'll get an error message about that when you try to use them.

When I open iTunes, I am told that iTunes has stopped working properly

Apologies if I am opening a discussion thread that has already been covered, but I failed to find the same issue in the Community.
When I start iTunes it briefly opens but then I am told that iTunes has stopped working and that Windows is looking for a solution. A further message then tells me that a problem caused the programme to stop working correctly. Windows will close the programme and notify me if a solution is found.
So far no solution has been forthcoming. I have uninstalled iTunes and downloaded fresh install but the problem still exists.
I have pasted the following Problem report. I am running Vista with Service Pack 2 - 32 bit version.
Hope someone can help please.

Safari has stopped working properly since upgrading to Mountain Lion. Have parental controls in place and it will not add websites. Also short cuts at top of tabs now all messed up!

Since upgrading to mountain lion the other day (from lion) safari has not been working properly. I have parental controls in place but seem unable to add new web pages to allowed list - wasn't expecting to have to anyway - these are webpages that were working perfectly well on safari prior to upgrade. Also the shortcuts above the tabs on safari are all now messed up.
Any advice on how to fix - I am not a computer expert so keep it simple please!
In the meantime I am having to use Firefox.
Thanks
Andrew

Mail has stopped working properly

Ever since the upgrade, my Mail will not work properly. It doesn't always show messages, but when it does it doesn't always show recent ones. I've just had to send a very important email but it is not showing in Sent Mail or Drafts, and I have no idea whether it has gone or not. And this email simply has to go.

Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data before proceeding.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
          Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
          Envelope Index
          ExternalUpdates.storedata
Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Typically, the process takes a few minutes, but it may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. In that case, you may be able to speed things up by temporarily adding your home folder to the Privacy list in the Spotlight preference pane. Remove it when Mail has finished importing.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

Today, youtube has stopped working at points throughout the day. When youtube stops working, all videos show a large arrow button in the center.

When youtube stops working, videos display a large play button in the center that is normally not there. When I attempt to play the video (by pressing either the middle button or normal one), videos show the "an error occurred, please try again later" screen. Clearing the cache fixed it once, but videos went back to not working in the way described above after some time.

Try to clear the YouTube cookies and maybe the cache as well when this happens.
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Tools > Options > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
"Clear the Cache":
*Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration 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.

Youtube has stopped working

Every now and then youtube will not work. Videos load but they will not play. If I press play they still won't play.

The YouTube application, as with the iTunes Wifi Music store are owned and managed by Apple. Even though you may think it is just accessing the whole youtube library through safari, and displaying some fancy UI, it's not. It's a separate application managed by Apple, which has a back entrance to YouTube.com Therefore, Apple could be adding more videos/updating it. As you might find with the iTune Wifi Music STore, it may 'go down' every now and then, as the PC Itunes sometimes does.
Hope this explains a little.
