YouTube issues

Hello,
For the past week, I've had an issue playing YouTube videos. Whether I'm trying to view a video on YouTube's site or a video embedded in another site, the video will play for about 1-2 seconds, then it stops playing (giving me the circle-loading icon) for 1-2 seconds, then it plays for about 1-2 seconds - this cycle of play-stop-play keeps repeating until I eventually give up.
I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling Flash, repairing disk permissions, and tossing my preferences. I use 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 as my DNS servers.
I'm using the new Safari 4.0 beta, but the exact same issue also occurs in Firefox (v3.0.7).
Other streaming video sites (Vimeo, for example) tend to work OK on both Safari and Firefox.
I'm on a Dual 2.7 Ghz PowerPC G5 running Mac OSX (10.4.9) with 8 gigs of ram and a cable modem connection.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Dan

Possibly you are not using the latest version (10) of FlashPlayer? You need this to play the H.264 format of some YouTube Flash Videos.
The latest version of Adobe FlashPlayer can be obtained from here:
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1ProdVersion=ShockwaveFlash
(You can check here: http://www.adobe.com/products/flash/about/ to see which version you should install for your Mac and OS.
Note that Adobe requires you to uninstall any previous version of Flash Player, as mentioned here:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157&sliceId=1
using the uninstaller from here (make sure you use the correct one!):
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_14157
and also that you follow the instructions closely, such as closing ALL applications first before installing. You must also carry out a permission repair after installing anything from Adobe.

K1 youtube issues and wifi shutting off

Thought I would throw this question out there.
I was finally (after restoringmy K1) able to get all my updates complete. I have the latest version as of today on the Honeycomb.
Here is the issue...now my internet is shutting down at random for one thing. I have to go back in each time to settings and turn it back on. There seems to be more touch screen delay or nonrecognition. Finally, I can not watch a youtube video through.
Here is an example of my youtube issue...
I watch it in youtube for mobile which I got from the youtube website. The video starts fine, only takes a few seconds to buffer and then plays. It will play for about 2 to 4 minutes into the video and then it jumps to the end,stops the video and you can not rewind,restart or reset it at all. The only option is to refresh but still same thing happens. I tried using youtube yesterday and today with the same results. Here is the other catch. My son has a cheap nextbook that I decided to try the exact options on side by side just to make sure it was not our internet connection. His worked fine all the way through. Mine juped to the end and stopped. I tried a different video today...same thing.
I have read through other posts. Does anyone have fixes for these issues? Honestly, I have a few more days to actually return this. I just need to make a decision. I am just afraid that I am going to always be rittled with peoblems. However I like the tablet when it is working. I am not really sure how well all tablets work except that I know my son doesn't have the problems that I do. He really has not had a y problems and we bought ours around the same time. I have what seems like a lot of force closes when he rarely has any if at all.
Thanks for any help and imput you all can offer.

Well, it is done. I returned the K1 yesterday. I just decided the bugs that I had and the constant frustrations were just not worth it. I think at this time I will just stick with my laptop.

Youtube issue - search with non-english letters

The issue appeared after the recent software update, worked correctly in the previous one.
When searching youtube with non-english letters (through iphone remote app), it assumes every letter to be an "enter" and reports a problem connecting to youtube.
Even when I try using the "recent searches", it will report the same problem for non-english items.

you need to report it to apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/appletv.html

Youtube issues via widget - iWeb 09

Yesterday i updated my website and I wanted to add a few new videos to my page and was surprised that the URL I copied from youtube will not work in iWeb. It kept saying the URL was invalid. I noticed a few months ago youtube changed the URL's for all videos and made them shorter I guess to be compatible with Twitter and I am wondering if that has anything to do with it. Anybody else having an issue adding videos to your iWeb pages via the Youtube widget? If you know of a workaround, please share. In the meantime I will check to see if there is an iWeb update available.
Thanks!

Have you tried using an HTML Snippet rather than the YouTube widget?

Exporting and YouTube Issues

So frustrated. For 6 months I have been able to export my iMovie videos to YouTube, no problem. I have also been able to export my iMovie videos into QuickTime format so they can be viewed on PCs without having to import them into iDVD. Now all of a sudden i can do neither. What is going on...seriously?
Anyone have a fix for either of these issues?

What happens when you try to share to YouTube? Is there an error message?
If you are still experiencing failures you might want to try (as a test) creating a new YouTube account and exporting one of your projects to the new account. That would help narrow down whether the problem is with iMovie or with your older/existing YouTube account.

YouTube issue w/ 11.7.700.169

I am an IT technician for a public library. After upgrading to Flash 11.7.700.169 yesterday, we began experiencing issues with YouTube. Specifically, YouTube doesn't seem to detect the new installation of Flash, reporting that "Your browser is out-of-date." After a refresh, however, YouTube's home page loads. When attempting to play individual videos, we get a similar error screen (I've attached a screenshot of this error to this post). Again, a refresh solves the issue. So far, I have not observed this on any other sites.
My question is: Is there a known issue with the new version of Flash that causes YouTube to fail? We have approximately 200 public PCs throughout our system, and we've received several calls already about this problem.
We are running Windows 7 x64 and Internet Explorer 9. Since we don't run Firefox or Chrome, I cannot confirm whether this problem can be reproduced on those browsers.
Thank you for your help!

Download the offline installers for IE and Firefox from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html#mai n-pars_header (under the heading Progress bar hangs...).
I don't know about Chrome, as I don't use that browser.

My firefox is hanging in every window + youtube issues

hi. I'm on a mac osx 10.4.11
firefox 3.6.15
my only add on is adblock plus
all plugins disabled.
my issue is that firefox is just too bloody slow. I'm hoping I've got the terminology correct when I say it's "hanging."
if I try to scroll with my trackpad, if I start to type , if I open or close a new window or tab, the arrow coverts to a whirling ball and there's enough of a delay that I feared my laptop was starting to go. but then I tried using safari and then my web is as quick as can be!
also in youtube, when I play a video, sound is good but the image stops and stalls for 3-5 seconds at a time, resuming in sync with the sound.
any tips?
I'm sorry if this is answered on the forums already, but I didn't see any way to search the forums for issues. I could easily search help, or I could scroll through page after page of forum questions, ten at a time, which is tedious when your browsers full of issues. tips on faster forum searching gladly accepted, and with thanks.
oh, and I've quit and restarted firefox and my computer and cleared cashe and cookies and history. numerous times!
thanks!

hello akhilaniyan, a reinstallation of firefox won't help in most cases. please try to [[Update Firefox to the latest version]] first & then do a reset of the browser: [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]

Flash and YouTube Issue - fullscreen 1080p freezes computer

Here's what's happening. If I go on YouTube and try to watch a video in 1080p in full screen, it will play fine for about 5-10 seconds or so, but then the video slows for half a second and then freezes, while the audio plays for a few seconds after the video freezes. Then, a few seconds after the video freezes, the audio stops playing as well. At this point, I go to a terminal by hitting Ctrl+Alt+F1 and issue a "pkill x" command, which "restarts" the computer and brings me back to the login screen.
I've tried disabling hardware acceleration and adding "OverrideGPUValidation=1" to /etc/adobe/mms.cfg, but they doesn't work. The freezing still happens.
I am on Arch 64-bit, with flashplugin 64-bit latest version (11.2.202.238-1).
Also, another issue relating to YouTube's flash player: How can I keep the font on the player the same? It alternates from time to time between an ugly wider font and a much nicer-looking narrower font.

Bump? This is still happening.

Youtube issues after last OS update

Dear all,
it is since yesterday that suddenly videos on youtube runs slow, jerky. Also, it looks there are issues with the sounds on quicktime and Itunes. I didn't operate any change on the network, therefore, I believe this is due by the recent OS update I did yesterday. At least the youtube part, I guess it must be somehow related to flash. I tried to uninstall it, but it took forever and I quitted it. I tried to reinstall the Flash 10 version, but also was unsuccesful, all together with rebooting the mac everytime, and having it repairing permissions from disk utility. At this point I'm a bit clueless. Suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

I told you above - you can view your system.log using the Console utility located in the Applications->Utilities folder.
Given what you mentioned, I do think trying to let the Flash uninstaller finish and then reinstalling Flash is your best bet, but that should have nothing to do with iTunes.
Regardless it will be interesting to see if there are any errors of note logged on your system that could provide a further explanation for your issues.
When you say iTunes isn't playing songs, what do you mean?

Strange YouTube issue on Safari (and Chrome)

This is a strange/hard to explain problem, but here it goes.
I usually use Chrome, and yesterday I noticed while watching videos on YouTube that the way videos play looks very jerky and uneven, even when I have nothing else open that could possibly be making my computer run slowly. Oddly, if I move my mouse around while a video is playing, this issue resolves.
I also noticed that the videos themselves move down if I scroll down the page. This is kind of hard to describe unless you can see what I am talking about, but its as though the videos follow my frame of view. They aren't fixed in the box they play in on the top of the page. If I scroll halfway down the box where the video is playing, the top of the video is still at the top of my page, and the bottom half is what is hidden (as thought it is "behind" where the uploader info, top comments, etc. are).
Finally, if I start to type in the search bar at the top of YouTube, the bottom half of the suggested searches are hidden, as though they are behind the video.
All of this happens on both Chrome and Safari, so it doesn't seem to be browser specific. I suspected a Flash issue to I uninstalled and reinstalled Flash, but had no luck. I also uninstalled and reinstalled Chrome but still couldn't fix the issue.
Any idea what's causing this to happen? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Ok. Things are still acting strange.
I logged out of my account and logged in as a Guest, went to YouTube in Safari and clicked on a video, and everything was fine. I clicked on another video just to make sure and there was a black box where the video should be. I couldn't right click to see Flash settings, I couldn't do anything, it was just black. I logged in and out as a Guest several times and the same thing happened. After the first video, where everything works, its like Safari loses the ability to play Flash on YouTube.
I moved on to the Disk Repair and did what you suggested (it said the disk was working fine), restarted, and logged in as a Guest first. YouTube worked perfectly fine, even after the first video. Then I logged back in to my account, had the same YouTube problems in my original post, logged out and back into Guest, and had the same problem where the first video works and then after that just a black box.
Sorry for the long explanation. Just want to give as complete a picture as possible. This is all very weird to me because I seem to be having these issues out of the blue... It seems to have something to do with the settings on my account, considering things got messed up on Guest only AFTER I had logged in to my account.

I have Flash Player 11 on my Mini (Mountain Lion 10.8.4) with Safari, Opera and Firefox, with no troubles.

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.

Here is the solution: For thos who uses a negative GMT ,like me (Argentina -3 GMT) , will need to change for a positive GMT ,like Germany +2 GMT, then go to youtube with your native browser, see how works, and finally go back to your previous GMT.
