Youtube movies stops working

Hi guys,
I've searched the forum without luck. Although I bet that I'm not the only one with this problem.
So, I've had this problem since I first got my Macbook Pro back in early June this year (a couple of weeks before the new one was released) so I don't think that I've done anything to cause this. The thing is that when I watch a Youtube-video it sometimes just stops working. It happens when I have watched for a bit, so obviously my MBP realizes that it's a video but for some reason it just stops. Sometimes the screen goes green and the video length is shortened to 3 seconds as it automatically fast-forwards to the end...
What is this? I'm running Safari 6.0 with OSX Lion. I don't get it, the videos always starts fine but after a bit they stop working.
Please help me!! And I'm very sorry if I'm posting something a question that you guys already have answered, but hey, I'm new to this!
Have a great day!
Marcus

Most YouTube video requries the Flash plugin. Uninstall old then reinstall new...
Quit Safari.
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab. Click: Delete All
Now uninstall the Flash plugin then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
Very important to uninstall the currently installed plugin first.
Then reinstall new from here >   http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
Then quit and relaunch Safari.
Now try a video.
BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to:  Open in 32 bit mode  is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.

  • 42SL417U Youtube app stopped working

    Greetings, A few days ago, the Youtube app stopped working. The logo comes up, but the progress bar that normally shows loading progress never starts. I have tried unplugging the TV for several hours, but that's about it. Are there any other steps I should take? Netflix appears to work fine. Thanks.

    Same exact thing happened to my TV (same model as yours) at the same time it happened to you. And YouTube still does not work. I was hoping it was an issue with YouTube that they would fix, but it's been three weeks and nothing has changed, nor can I find any answer as to why this happened. It's a real bummer, because I used the YouTube app on the TV all the time.

  • YouTube just stopped working.

    YouTube just stopped working.  Has blank screen and can't access anything. Everything else is working fine. Any suggestions?

    (A) Try reset iPad
    Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home button down together until you see the Apple Logo.
    Note: Data will not be affected.
    (B) Close all apps in the multi-task window
    1.Double-click the Home button.
    2. Swipe the app's preview up to close it.
    3. Preview will fly off the screen.

  • Embedded videos and youtube videos stopped working since last update. Any clues

    All video functions on my IMac have stopped working since updates on Saturday. Videos embedded in web page and on youtube have stopped working.

    Assuming you are using Safari ...
    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
    Click Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
    Back to Safari. Press Command + Option + E to empty the Safari cache.
    Quit and relaunch Safari, try a video.

  • My youtube videos stopped working this week.  Nothing else has changed.  I am using the lastest software on my iphone 5s

    My Youtube videos stopped working on my iphone 5s.  I have the latest updates on the phone and deleted and reinstalled the Youtube app.  Didn't work.

    I had major issues using VPN passthrough with PPTP on the RV180W through a PPPoE internet connection. In the end I gave up - I think there are some PPTP servers that the RV180 just has trouble with.  I had no problems with 3 other routers straight out the box. Unfortunately I lost access to the VPN server before Cisco could fix.
    See thread:
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2174283?tstart=0
    Its interesting that it used to work and now doesn't - maybe Verizon or the VPN server have had configuration changes?  Or maybe your antivirus has created a different profile for the different router - would be worth temporarily disabling any firewal/antivirus?
    It would be good to try a different non-Verizon router if you can get your hands on one to see if Verizon network changes now require special features/settings on the router.

  • Why have iplayer, music and YouTube apps stopped working on iPad 1?

    These have all stopped working on my iPad this week, any ideas on why and what to do?

    I also have an iPad1 and my YouTube app keeps giving me an "authentication failed" error.  It was working fine up until this morning.  I have tried everything I can find online to regain access including: verifying that I am using the correct user name and password, activating 2-step verification and several attempts at application-specific passwords...no luck so far.  I am going to try to resist the urge to keep trying for a while, hoping that maybe allowing it time to reset will help???
    I do not usually use the Music app, but  it seems to work okay for me.  I only have a single podcast on there, but it played okay when I tried it.  And I do not have iPlayer, so no idea about that one.
    Of course Apple online support is no help because my device is "too old" and I can't afford to spend $20 for them to talk to me.  Any ideas or tips would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks!!!

  • Apple tv - Youtube App stopped working

    About 4 months ago, the youtube app on my Apple TV stopped working.
    Nothing worked to fix this.  But When the new update was released for the Apple TV, everything began working.
    But the problem had resurfaced.  The Youtube App on my Apple TV is no longer allowing me to log in.  It keeps saying that my password is not correct.
    Just FYI, to avoid anyone giving me irrelivant information...
    1) I do not and never have had the higher level security requiring my cell phone as a secondary authentication.
    2) I AM able to log in on my computer with no problem but the Apple TV will not allow me to log in.

    BTW, I should clarify, I am specifically having a problem mirroring.  Home sharing is on and all my library is there, just no mirroring.

  • 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 <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> 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.

  • Youtube App Stopped Working

    Hello. The other day, Google changed youtube so that the user's accounts would be linked with Google + user accounts.
    Coincidentally, the youtube app on my iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1.1 is not letting me log in anymore. Furthermore, I am unable to search for videos.
    Is this Apple's way of forcing users to upgrade to iOS 6? My phone doesn't have enough space (~50 mb left) or processing power to handle iOS 6, so I'd rather not upgrade. I suspect that youtube will only work if I update it to the iOS6 only version though.
    Is anyone else experiencing similar difficulties?

    It's just that I have a lot of good applications that I have no reason to delete, and many photos that I wish to keep on my phone. If I can find out how much more space is needed for iOS 6, then I can delete files to compensate.
    Again, it's an iPhone 4 (a "free" one) that came with way too little space. *GB, but about 6GB with the required software installed.
    Does anyone know how well iOS runs on an iPhone 4, and how large the iOS 6 update is?
    EDIT: General Settings tells me that I require 2.8GB of available space. That's impossible for me to do. 150mb maybe...

  • YouTube sharing stopped working

    I tried three times and finally gave up. Any tips or workarounds are appreciated.
    YouTube sharing through iMovie '09 (version 8.0.3, build 802, running on an Intel Mac with OSX 10.5.7) was working fine -- but seems to have suddenly died.
    I built a new project... a short, simple video, one minute and forty seconds in length. No fancy effects, just very straightforward stuff. I chose Share, then chose YouTube and clicked OK. iMovie asked me for the standard stuff that was working before... my YouTube account name, password, etc., and prepared the video. It then said it was uploading to YouTube. 30 minutes later, I saw the standard dialog... "your video has uploaded, it may take minutes or hours before it's viewable, bla, bla, bla."
    The video never showed up in my YouTube list of uploaded videos. I logged in to YouTube, logged out, tried two different Macs and two different browsers (Safari and Firefox). No luck. It's as if I'd never uploaded the video.
    I then exported the project as a QuickTime movie, opened my YouTube account through Firefox, and uploaded it via YouTube's "Upload" feature. Once the upload was complete (another 40 minutes of my life, gone forever), it immediately appeared in my YouTube list of uploaded videos.
    YouTube says it's currently processing. I can only hope that this is true. I want to know why YouTube sharing through iMovie '09 seems to have suddenly died. Any ideas?

    Same here too. I uploaded two videos to YouTube yesterday via iMovie sharing and it looked like it was working, but they've never showed up. What's up with that? I guess I'll try uploading via YouTube because I'm tired of waiting.

  • Movies stopped working

    All of the quicktime movies have stopped playing on my web site. They had all been working fine for about a year and then all of the sudden stopped. When I uploaded them originally I had used "Lillipot" to save them with fast start embedded and everything was fine. Now when you go to my pages only the QuickTime icon appears and the movie never starts. Anyone else having this problem? Any ideas?

    Where are you publishing your site to and what version of iWeb are you using?

  • After Flash Player, the youtube videos stop working after 1st second.

    Hi guys,
    I have a couple of Dell pc's with win7 professional 64bit.
    Some of them on IE10 and other's on IE11.
    The thing is after the installation of the latest Flash Player version, the videos on YouTube stop after the 1st second.
    If I remove the Flash Player the YouTube works fine.
    Anyone have the same problem?
    Regards
    Ricardo Rebelo

    Hi again,
    I found the "source" of the issue, the pc's don't have speakers, so after I plug in some headphones the YouTube run without problems.
    So there is any way to configure Flash Player to do not search for "playback devices"? 
    Regards
    Ricardo Rebelo
