YouTube mobile no longer works

Android 4.4.2
Firefox 36.0.1
YouTube mobile now sends me back to 'what to watch' whenever I click play. The non mobile site works for the most part except that some vids demand flash. In chrome it works fine. And it was all working fine a while ago.

Hi Lordproblemhaver:
It's NOT clear to me from your description what your problem is. I can play youtube videos just fine on all of my android devices (e.g. Samsung S5 on Lollipop)
# You told us your version of Firefox and what version of Android, great! But we also need to know what phone or tablet are you using?
# Please tell us what you did, what happened and what you expected (a screenshot would be lovely!) Do you have the Flash player installed on your phone or tablet?
Cheers!
...Roland

Converted YouTube videos no longer work

I have been converting some YouTube videos for my own offline use for some time to view on my iPod Touch. I use a little program called TubeSock.
Since 2.0 software was released for both iPod Touch and the iPhone 3G all of my converted videos no longer work. Apple changed something. I also have an e-mail into TubeSock to see if they have an update in the works.
Anyone else experience this problem and if so any solutions?

Why do over 90% of YouTube functions no longer work on Firefox?

For the past week everything I try to do on YouTube with Firefox has been extremely slow, sometimes near that of a dial-up connection. I've tried using all three browsers--IE8, Firefox, and Chrome--and the problem appears to be ONLY with Firefox. In fact, with Firefox over 90% of YouTube features will not work at all, including playback on "My Channel".
All three browsers function perfectly at all other web sites.
My videos are being inundated with SPAM promoting several different illegal download sites, yet when I try to report these as SPAM I repeatedly get a "500 Internal Server Error" with all three browsers. Please keep in mind that these messages are sent to me by YouTube, NOT the spammers. The only browser that will actually allow me to delete the message itself from the video is Chrome...both IE8 and Firefox are totally unresponsive to all options.
When trying to access my channel page (or ANY channel page) on Firefox (and ONLY Firefox), I repeatedly get the message: "Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player. " However, playing videos in a separate tab is not a problem with any of the 3 browsers. Accessing my channel page or any other channel page is not a problem with either IE8 or Google Chrome.
I have verified that the latest versions of Flash Player and JavaScript have been installed and are functioning properly, and everything on YouTube operates properly on both IE8 and the lastest version of Google Chrome.
I have updated McAfee and run a deep, full-system scan. I've swept my registry with three different cleaners, and Secunia PSI shows no problems.
This is the second time in the past two months that YouTube has shut out Firefox almost totally.
What is going on?

I even tried the RAM extension trick..MUST be YouTube..

YouTube app no longer works

I've just recently signed up for an iPhone 3gs I've had it for about a week now everything was working fine but now the youtube app refuses to play any video. Comes with with a message stating "video format not supported" the annoying thing, is that the videos that I am trying to watch were working fine on the YouTube app on sunday but now all of a sudden nothing. I am using the 3G network and I have not made any changes to the settings on the phone at all. Can anyone suggest what this could be?
Thanks.

I tried that, still no joy. As a rule I always have wifi off because of the power drain, usually dont have 3g enabled unless I am using an app or going online. I've reset the network setting just in case I accidently changed something without me knowing but that didnt have any effect on the situation either. When I get home I will try to use the wifi to see if that allows me to play youtube videos. That and I might pop along to the apple store to see if anyone there can give me more advice, unless anyone else has anymore ideas on things I could try?
Thanks for all the advice and tips though its much appreciated.

I need help with the newest version of Adobe. Youtube wil no longer work.

Today I just installed Adobe 10.3 etc. and I can't get Youtube to play videos anymore. I'm not at all a professional, and not that good at computers either. I just want my Youtube to play again. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Try to install adobe shockwave player http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/ it should work

"Activity window" in Safari no longer works to download YouTube videos. Why not? Workaround?

For years I have used Apple's recommended standard technique whenever I wanted to download a Flash video embedded in a YouTube page to my hard drive:
- Open a YouTube page and click on the video's "play" button to get it started;
- Press command-option-A to then open up Safari's "Activity Window" which lists all the components of the page;
- Find on the list the component for the loading Flash video, which is usually much larger (measured in MB rather than KB) than all the other components, and also is usually still in the process of loading, so it's easy to spot;
- Double-click the component's name on the list in the Activity Window, and voila, the video downloads to my hard drive.
This "trick" is described everywhere as THE standard way to download YouTube videos (and similar page components); and I have used it successfully for many years.
HOWEVER, sometime very recently (not sure when, exactly -- a few weeks or months ago) YouTube has changed the way its pages are coded, so that this technique no longer works. When I open the Activity Window, instead of seeing one large loading video file that's easily identifiable, I see a whole series of large files, all exactly 1.7mb big (no matter how large the file size of the actual video in question is), and they constantly increase in number -- at first there are two such files, but over the seconds and minutes more and more appear. Furthermore, many files with no named size are constantly loading and then disappearing. And here's the whole point: I've tried double-clicking on ALL of these files, dozens of ways on dozens of YouTube pages, and none of the are the video file I seek and none of them cause the file to download to my hard drive.
If I click on one the mysterious 1.7mb components, I indeed get a ".flv" downloaded to my hard drive, but it's not actually a Flash video; clicking on its downloaded file icon just brings up a blank box or an error message saying that it's not really a video file at all. I think it's some sort of "decoy" file or something to do with streaming Flash code.
To see what I mean, just go to YouTube, load any random video page, and then open Safari's Activity WIndow and try to download the video that way.
This happens on an iMac running Safari 5.1 on OSX 10.6.8, and also on a MacBook Pro running Safari 5.0.2 on OSX 10.6.5, and on a few other new-ish Macs I tested it out on, but failed to note their version numbers.
I'm presuming that this problem is not specific to my computer, but is caused by the way that YouTube altered the background code for their pages. I don't know if the glitch is an intentional attempt by YouTube to prevent downloads, or if it is an accidental "bug" of the new code. Either way:
How can I fix the problem? Is there some other lesser-known built-in way for Safari/Mac to download the new kind of YouTube videos? Or is there some reliable freeware or shareware or plug-in or extension or whatever for Safari that would enable YouTube downloading?
I tried a freeware program called "Evom" that was highly touted, but it too was thwarted by the new YouTube code and failed to extract any videos from the YouTube page, even though that's what the application was designed to do.
As a side note, I will say that I also have (though rarely use) FireFox for Mac, and the "Unplug" plug-in installed on it, and that ALSO "broke" recently and no longer has the capacity to recognize or download YouTube videos, even though previously it worked fine. This is why I think the issue is not specific to my set-up or computer, but is due to a change in YouTube's underlying code.)
Any help with an explanation, solution or workaround would be much appreciated (by me and by millions of others who I assume are facing the same problem!).

Carolyn:
I just now did exactly as you recommended. Result? No change.
Even after trashing the files and restarting and everything else, the Activity Window and YouTube behave exactly as they did before.
(I had actually previously tried something very similar to your recommendation, and it didn't have any effect then either.)
In case it's helpful, here's an example of what one of the mystery components that load endlessly in the Activity Window is listed as:

Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved. Some of these steps are only possible if you have control over the wrieless router.
Step 1
Turn Wi-Fi off and back on.
Step 2
Restart the router and the computer. Many problems are solved that way.
Step 3
Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
Step 4
Run the Network Diagnostics assistant.
Step 5
In OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and fix the issues listed in the Summary, if any.
Step 6
Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
Step 7
You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
Potential sources of interference
Step 8
Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
Step 9
Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).

Youtube mobile Safesearch is not working on Firefox23. How can I turn safesearch on?

How to reproduce:
1. visit www.youtube.com mobile site using a tablet
2. go to youtube setting and turn the Safe Search to ''On"
(or edit PREF cookie's fms2 value to 30000)
3. search the word like "porn"
The result is not filtered.
My user agent is "Mozilla/5.0 (Android; Tablet; rv:23.0) Gecko/23.0 Firefox/23.0" on Nexus Tablet.
You can also reproduce this issue just by changing the user agent and visit youtube mobile site on your PC.
Youtube mobile safe search is working in chrome browser.
So I believe this issue is Firefox specific.
Thanks.

Hi!
I'm able to replicate this on my mobile phone, interestingly though, Chrome, in the same phone (A nexus 4) has the same behavior.
So it looks like a problem on their side. Thinking about it, it's hard to tell how could this be related to the browser.
I would recommend rising the issue in the Youtube forum: http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!forum/youtube

Will my website, which I published through my mobile me account, no longer work as soon as I switch to iCloud, or will it continue to be supported until June. I know I will have to publish it at Go Daddy or something similar, but am not ready to do that yet. I just got an iPad 2 and want to get swtiched over to iCloud, but will wait if it will make my website inaccessible.

Your iDisk, together with your website and Gallery if you have one, will be unaffected and will continue exactly as before after you migrate to iCloud.
The migration process will probably log you out of MobileMe so you may need to go to System Preferences>MobileMe and log back in to be able to access your iDisk in the Finder. Web access will be unaffected.
You will need Lion 10.7.2 on your iMac.

Firefox will not load videos on YouTube Mobile. It states that Flash needs to be updated, but it works fine in the Android browser.

When I browse to YouTube mobile (http://m.youtube.com/), and click on a video, it takes me to the video's mobile page. Once I click on the video itself (to play), it redirects me to the desktop version of the same video page and tells me I need to update my Flash plugin.
Until earlier today, it was not redirecting me to the desktop pages, but now it is.

Sorry, Flash for Android is not yet compatible with Firefox for Android. We hope to work with Adobe to fix this in a future release.
You can play some YouTube videos by enabling YouTube's HTML5 beta. Only videos available in the WebM or Theora formats will play in Firefox for Android: http://youtube.com/html5
