YouTube Issues: Pitch Black Video Screen! Am I the Only One?

Just recently I have experienced a complete inability to view videos on YouTube. Everything loads just fine on the page *except* the actual video to be watched. In its stead there's just a pitch black rectangle, but nothing else.
I have tried finding a solution via the limited resources offered by Google and YouTube, but so far no one has responded to my forum post!
Am I the only Safari/Apple user who is expereincing this problem with YouTube?

Tried emptying the Safari cache lately?
Press Command + Option + E on your keyboard.
Quit and relaunch Safari and try a video.
If that doesn't help, download the Flash plugin here > http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?promoid=JZEFT
Flash is required for most YouTube content.

HT2506 After updating my system to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 I can no longer view videos on Facebook or other sites. The only one I can view videos on is youtube. I have downloaded Adobe Flash player and still no luck. I cannot even open Preview on my computer

After updating my system to Mountain Lion 10.8.2 I can no longer view videos on Facebook or other sites. The only one I can view videos on is youtube. I have downloaded Adobe Flash player and still no luck. I cannot even open Preview on my computer anymore. Any ideas would be helpful thanks

Merely clicking the Preview icon in the Dock doesn't cause it to open anything, unless you had one or more windows open the last time it quit.
If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test.
1. If you're getting a "blocked plug-in" error, triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
Services ▹ Open
from the contextual menu. A folder should open. If there is more than one item in the folder with the words "Flash Player" (not "flashplayer") in the name, open the respective Info windows, check the version numbers, and delete all except the latest. You may be prompted for your login password. If you get the same error after doing that, re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from this page:
Adobe - Install Adobe Flash Player
Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
2. If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked Enable plug-ins.
3. Select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.
4. In the Safari preference window, select
Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
Close the window. Then select
 ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.

I've never had any problems with mine ever. The only freeze I've had was from a file I recorded on tivo, cut commericals out in movie maker and then re-encoded to the lowest possible bit rate that that zens nati've resolution supports. Try turning your sensitivity in the touch pad down. Sometimes if you have it up to high you may have a chance of doing that (although I have only had slow response, instead of a freeze by doing that).
You also have to compare to all of the other products out there: Ipod and Zune are a lot worse with pathetic little problems (annoyances). I didn't pay for tech support?

If a buddy's screename is faded (in the offline section), but a video icon is still next to the screename, and if you right click on the name "video chat" is an option, what does this mean? it is the only one on my whole list that has this.

Hi,
It could be some sort of "flagging" issue where either the AIM Servers have gone out of sync and you are getting two lots of info (There are about three or four servers involved with getting data to your Buddy list)
I can also see the possibility where you have a Contact in your Address Book who has two Screen Names.
You have one in one group and in another they appear to be Off Line. However iChat will still Link them and Show their Capabilities when you Right Click.
One way of checking this is to double click them to open a Text Chat Window.
At the top is the Recipients Bar (See View Menu when Text Chat is Open).
This gives you the option to chose a different Buddy Name if the contact has two (It offers To and From options if you both have Multiple Accounts).

They have an @Mac.com name and Jabber ID (As it is an Old Chat the Jabber one is Off Line and their @mac.com name is currently "Away"
You can see I have a Google and three AIM Logins I could use to Speak to them.

I can't be the only one with this issue. MacBook Pro Retina Late-2013 WiFi disconnects after waking up from sleep.

Did anyone buy a MacBook Pro Retina 13" from Best Buy this Black Friday?
I'm having an issue where the WiFi disconnects after the MacBook wakes from sleep but only after a couple of minutes.
Once the WiFi disconnects, I can't reconnect to the same network and sometimes it won't find nearby networks.
I have to turn off the WiFi and wait for at least 5 seconds before turning it back on for it to auto-reconnect to my home network.
If I wait less than 5 seconds, it will continue to attempt connection to the home network but won't connect.
I've tried reformatting and deleting my network configurations as well as resetting my modem, power cycling it, etc.
I am using 2Wire Gateway modem/router from AT&T on b/g network.
I've tried connecting to a friend's network under Time Warner Cable and the same issue occurs.
I exchanged the MacBook at a Best Buy for a brand unopened one (I hope) and the same exact thing happens with this new one.
Really, I can't be the only one with this issue. Unless in a 0.00001% chance I received two defective units in a row?
Please.. does anyone have a clue why this is happening?

You're definitely not the only one. I have the same issue. I spent 6 hours over multiple days on the phone with Apple support trying a variety of things (some of which are mentioned above), and none of them worked. They finally sent me a replacement laptop. I made sure to try it periodicaly as I was moving files and installing applications to see if I ran into it again and things seemed okay at first but now I am running into the same issue and it is terribly annoying. I've got 5 other devices that connect to the same router and I've never had this issue with any of them.
My router is a Linksys E2000. I haven't tried changing the router channel but I have tried to cnnecting to other networks in the building I live in and I have run into the same issue there.

It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

Apple does not sell parts. There are no legitimate sources for iPhone parts. Take it to your local Apple Store.

when actualized my iphone 4s to ios 6.0.1 music crash with or without phones. Apparently I'm not the only one with this issue

     Hi Michael! Thanks for the reply
     I live in Norway, and the phone has been either provided by a Norwegian carrier, or bought unlocked from the Norwegian Apple Store. You can check yourself by going to Settings-General-About-Model and type the model number (MC133KN in my case) here: http://iphonefrom.com/en/MC133KN But it`s unlocked, I placed a Lebara SIM in it and it works perfectly.
     If it has been carrier-locked then most(if not all) Norwegian carriers are selling the phones on a 12 months subscription contract. When the 12 months are up, the phone is being unlocked by the carrier either automatically, or upon customer`s request(depends which carrier you use).
     It`s good to hear that your 3GS works well with the iOS 6, still after having read about issues after upgrade I have a feel that the upgrade to iOS 6 may be a hit or miss.
     I read on a forum that early iPhones can only support 3 major upgrades. Can that be true?

I updated to imovie 11 on my iPhone 4 and my old videos were the only ones there. Everybody else that had this problem went to settings privacy photos then turned on access to photos from imovie. When I went to the settings and went to photos there

I updated to imovie 11 on my iPhone 4 and my old videos were the only ones there. Everybody else that had this problem went to settings > privacy > photos then turned on access to photos from imovie. When I went to the settings and went to photos there was no imovie option.
Please help ASAP
Thank you

I have exactly the same problem and cannot see the imovie privacy option in photos either

Volume : Am I the only one with issues hearing calls

Ok, I am about 75% done with my activation I can place calls just not receive them. So far I love the iPhone, other than activation (Not Apples fault). However I have a big problem hearing calls (Apples fault). Am I the only one having this problem?
Apple please get us an update out soon that will fix this problem. There is no way this phone can work for me if I cant hear calls. I will be forced to return the phone and go back to my Razr. Other than this issue (and it is a big one) I love the phone

NO! I thought that it was because i turned 30 this year! This *****! really bad! i love the iphone but i am totally gunna be FORCED! to return it if there is not a solution to this problem ASAP! ive noticed that talking to a person on a land line is the louder between talking to anyone on another mobile but still not load enough! THE ONLY WAY I CAN USE THIS PHONE FOR ANY KIND OF CONVERSATION IS WITH THE STEREO HEADSET IN BOTH EARS! hense cutting out any backgroud noise! Apparently there is no problem on the other end! everyone has said they can hear me fine! As far as the speaker! ridiculouse! i will nnot even attemt it unless im in a closed room! forget about using it in your car! you will hear a wisper!

Am I the only one still having this issue

I realize IE put a fix in place in April 2008 for swf flash
to no longer require click to activate. Am I the only one who still
has this issue. I am running Vista and IE 7 and always have to
click to activate. What am I doing wrong?
Do I need a new plug in page reference to Adobe?

Am I the only one having issues Resound Linx?

Am I the only one having issues with my iPhone 5S and Resound Linx? Apparently it states in the brochure that it supposed to be high qualitiy sound, and work great with the iPhone. I am having issues, I have to disconnect my iPhone to accept a standard landline at home or work. Secondly it takes a few seconds to connect the ringing of the cell into the hearing aids which I either loose the call by missing it or have to connect it. It's unfortunate that Apple didn't take into consideration of having the cell ring right into a persons hearing aids like one of there competitors. Furthermore whomever wrote the brochure has clearly lied it's not true what is stated in the Resound Linx around the steaming quality, and iphone connection!!

Given my personal experience with both the ReSound LiNX and Starkey Halos paired with my iPhone, i can confirm that the interplay between both hearing aids and the iPhone is far from perfect. However, I don't think it is more Apple's problem than it is ReSound or Starkey. Apple has developed technical and programming interfaces to work with a large universe of Bluetooth devices. Consequently, the responsibility for connecting really relies on the device manufacturers to craft devices that meet the connectivity standard as it is defined. That hearing aids experience struggles there doesn't surprise me. The miniaturization of circuitry and the functionality they can pack into very small devices is astonishing.....but also leads to compromise as any other micro-miniature device would have compromises.
My more immediate concern for you is that you have been told that you must disconnect your hearing aids from your iPhone before answering a land line handset. That doesn't sound right.

I can't be the only one having this Finder issue: Finder stops responding and requires relaunch about every third time I open it.

I have a brand-new MBAir, but I actually noticed this starting many months ago, on my MBPro running Snow Leopard. I've repaired Permissions numerous times, run Onyx and performed all of the scans and checks (everything checks out fine), and otherwise have no problems at all with my system. It's just this constant need to relaunch the Finder, especially after downloading a dmg. In-between these episodes it seems to behave normally.
I though it was a Snow Leopard problem, and was hoping it would be gone with Lion, but, alas--no such luck.
I've searched through the discussions and support docs and haven't found anything similar--can I possibly be the only one with this weird issue? I've been a Mac User for over 20 yrs, and can't say I've ever seen this particular problem before....Does anyone have any thoughts? Thanks!

OK, Tony--did that. I noticed that it had a creation date of 2009. Wouldn't a new OS create new plist files, or do all of the old ones just migrate over from the previous OS? Interesting....
Anyway, I'll just have to wait and see if it happens again--shouldn't have to wait too long--LOL. I'll post back with an update ASAP.
Thanks for your help!

Updated my iPhone to new iOS6 and my Memory Loader app does not work! Is there a fix for the problem as it seems I am not the only one coming across this issue?

Other than what you have already done, you should clear the cache from your browser and, if you use it, your Facebook app. Also, deleting old texts can free up some room.
