I recently downloaded the latest version of flash on my mac and now all of my youtube videos are messed up.

Youtube videos are not playing back

Youtube videos are not playing back in Safari 5.1.7. I've also checked this in Firefox 16.0.2.
I am running OS 10.6.8.
Why is this happening? I need this capabilitiy for my work efforts.
Thanks (in advance)!

I'm having similar problems to you all. Chrome and Firefox will play YT videos back perfectly. But for some reason certain users' entire channels that were working fine in Safari on Thhursday 1st Nov 2012 had stopped working by the next day! After upgrading Flash and resetting the cache etc it was a bit better but still some not working. I then downloaded the 6.0.2 update (again after a bit of aggro as some error message kept popping up, then after a while it worked ok). Now still some videos refuse to play in Safari. Latest FF browser seems OK and not too slow. I have always liked Safari though and am a bit annoyed that I've had to to make FF my default as it's a bit ugly. It may be a YT problem rather than Apple. Once upon a time in the hazy crazy days of Tiger and Leopard I had no Apple problems. Now lots of very minor but basic issues keep popping up!

My youtube videos are only running for a few seconds, then stop. Is this an issue with my macbook?

    Quit Safari.
    Restart computer. Relaunch Safari.
2. Enable Plug-ins
    Safari > Preferences > Security
    Internet Plug-ins > "Allow plug-ins"
    Enable it.
    Press " Manage Website Settings" button for more options.
3. Check whether you are currently in YouTube HTML 5 trial.
     http://www.youtube.com/html5
    At the bottom left of the page uncheck the box beside
   "You are currently in the HTML5 trial".
4. Reset Safari.
    Click Safari in the menu bar.
    From the drop down select "Reset Safari".
    Click "Reset".
5. Turn off Extensions, if any.
    Safari > Preferences > Extensions
     Now try YouTube.
Best.

Youtube videos are grey when Fullscreen and updating Real Player doesn't help

Youtube videos are grey just like you describe them in "Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox" but updating RealPlayer does nothing to help.

RealPlayer includes a Web Download & Recording feature that adds a Browser Record Plugin extension to Firefox. This causes problems with Flash content if Flash Player 11.3 is installed. If you don't use this feature, you can turn it off to avoid problems (see Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox). If you want to keep using this feature, another option is to uninstall Adobe Flash Player 11.3 and install an earlier Flash version as a temporary solution. See How do I revert to a previous version of Flash Player? on the Adobe forum for detailed instructions and download links. (Adobe's uninstaller removes the Flash Player ActiveX for Internet Explorer as well as the Flash Player Plugin for Firefox and other browsers, so you will need to reinstall both.)

Youtube videos are not playing

I'm using Firefox 13.0.1 on a Macbook. Youtube videos are coming up black, and after an add plug in screen flashes, they're telling me that the video is not available. Above, Firefox is prompting me to download missing plug ins. When I click that, it says that no suitable plug ins can be found. What's wrong?

You can check for problems caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and possibly downgrade to Flash 11.2 or 10.3.

Videos are dark

Hi,
I'm very new to the mac world, just bought a macbook pro 2.4
I only have a problem with videos in general. I downloaded vlc to play videos, but they're just all
really dark. Everything else is just fine, brightness and contrast are alright in any other application,
it's just the videos that are dark. I tried to play around the display system preferences but nothing
works. Any ideas what's happening?
Thanks,
John.

Well the obvious 'deduction' is that the Gamma setting is wrong.
In QuickTime player open a movie then hit Apple/K to bring up the AV controls window, move the Brightness slider across to the right and then play the movie - does it look better or no different ?
If you'd said that all displays were dark then I'd suspect somethings off with the Display calibration but you've indicated this isn't the case so it's a bit of a puzzle ...
You could try re-calibrating the Display if you're game - open System Preferences/Displays, click the Color Tab then hit Calibrate and follow the prompts. If you don't like what you end up with just select 'Color LCD' again.

Images are cutted and youtube-videos are breaking down in ie7, ie8

hi muse-experts,
have the problem, that some images are cutted in ie7, ie8. the side is now working on businesscatalyst and another server.
images are cutted here on bc: http://trabbitour.businesscatalyst.com/angebote.html , http://trabbitour.businesscatalyst.com/ostalgisches.html , http://trabbitour.businesscatalyst.com/deine-trabbitour.html
the same on the other server: http://trabbitour.de/angebote.html , http://trabbitour.de/ostalgisches.html , http://trabbitour.de/deine-trabbitour.html
the videos are breaking down, by starting to scroll the side: http://trabbitour.businesscatalyst.com/trab(b)i-was-is-n-das.html
for ie adaption I inserted on all pages between html and head this line: <!— switch IE 7,8,9,10 to quirks mode —> but with or without this, the error is the same.
maybe you have an idea, what I can do and what the problem is?
thank you.

It's very difficult to say without knowing more about your system. There are a number of possibilities. First, your 13" lacks a discrete GPU, so the CPU is doing the work that a GPU would have done as far as decoding video streams, etc. Each video stream will consume considerable resources from the machine, and if you have multiple things running with video streams being decoded (for example, a browser with video Flash or cumbersome animation and iMovie running at the same time), then that may be a factor.
Additionally, it could be that you are memory constrained. You didn't post a picture of the process list from activity monitor or the memory usage stats, but you probably want to look and see what the memory and CPU usage is and who's consuming what. Some applications are pretty inefficient. For example, if you have iPhoto open and have thousands of images, the indexed metadata and thumbnails are all stored in RAM. iMovie pulls in clip thumbnail sets - (and worse, it has to do on-the-fly transcoding video assets from some cameras that don't encode the video using the parameters it expects to make indexing frames easier). Again, this would show up as periodic spikes in CPU activity for the app.
You seem to have plenty of disk space, that's not likely to be a problem.
Check if Time Machine is running. Time Machine introduces a performance impact, but it's exacerbated by the presence of frequently changed large files (e.g., you don't want Time Machine backing up your video projects while you are working on them).
Lastly, you may consider checking the console for error messages. This might reveal background processes that might be bogging down the system, or things like filesystem/disk errors. If there are errors in the filesystem, when you access certain portions of the disk, the OS and applications can slow down or lock-up as a result.

YouTube videos are just... not good.

I watch a lot of YouTube videos. I used to have really slow Internet, and we upgraded on July 23. My speedtests went from 1.86 down, 0.3 up to 17 down, 1.5 up. Everything else I do on the Internet has very much benefited from this upgrade, but YouTube hasn't, really. For about two days, it was great. I could watch a video in 1080p full screen and it wouldn't stop at all, whereas before I'd always had issues. For some reason, Flash wouldn't buffer more than like 30-45 seconds ahead of where I was watching. (This started around January or so.) I had always paused videos at the beginning to let them buffer all the way through, but it got to the point where, for whatever reason, I couldn't do that. I had to watch every. freaking. video in 30-45 second chunks, even on the lowest quality offered for that video.
Anyhow, so upon upgrading our Internet, it flew for about two days and then this problem came back. It's not as bad as before - I can watch a video straight through in 480p or lower. But I want HD! If my Internet connection is 10 times as fast, this shouldn't be happening. I should be able to watch a 1080p video full screen straight through like I was for those two days.
Info:
I have the AT&T U-Verse 18 Mbps connection, and it speedtests at 17 Mbps down, 1.5 Mbps up.
I have a PC that I purchased last summer. (HP Envy-14 Beats Edition, model 1260se) It has 6GB ram, an i5 processor, and discrete graphics. I use Firefox and Chrome. Firefox is currently my primary browser, but I'm working on switching to Chrome because Chrome is soooo much faster. (I have a lot of tabs that I keep open in each and I don't have time to switch them all.)
I also have a MacBook Pro that I purchased shortly after this summer's release of the new MacBook Pro (with the retina display.) Mine is not the new one, though. It has 8GB ram and an i5 processor. I use Chrome exclusively on the Mac.
Both computers encounter this problem. And no, I don't need to reboot, I turn off both computers at night.
I have checked Task Manager on my PC while this issue is happening in Firefox to see if something is weird with my computer, and everything matches the norms EXCEPT for the fact that the Flash plugin keeps consuming 10-15% of the CPU. While that's not enough to significantly slow performance of the rest of my computer, I wonder if it has something to do with this problem. Neither Firefox nor Flash are using more RAM than they should be.
Also, both before the Internet upgrade and now, every time the problem gets REALLY severe and Firefox stops responding, then if Firefox does start responding again I see a message that the Flash plugin has crashed.
I just upgraded my Flash player on my PC to 11.3.300.268 (and rebooted, though it didn't instruct me to) in order to see if that would help, but no such luck. The upgrade changed nothing.
Also, I just noticed... when I right-clicked on the YouTube video I'm trying to watch on my PC (I'm typing this on my Mac) the final option in the menu still reads "About Adobe Flash Player 11.3.300.265." What's with that? (Oh, and then right after I typed this, Flash decided to crash on me. FUN.)
Considering the amount of time I spend on YouTube, I would really like for this issue to be resolved. And to reiterate, I have fast Internet and two fast computers. Everything else works wonderfully, but YouTube doesn't.

The change to YouTube's buffering policy was deliberate and done by Google/Youtube after extensive testing that showed them this provided a better experience for more customers.
Chrome comes with it's own version of Flash Player, that's why the version you installed (268) does not appear when you right click in Chrome. If you tried the same thing with Safari or Firefox you'd see 268.
I'd recommend also posting this on the YouTube forums to see if they have any advice.

YouTube videos are all silent, on Firefox and Safari, but not Chrome

I'm baffled by this. It used to work fine and I'm not sure what changed but a month or so ago, suddenly all videos on YouTube are silent.
--The videos are silent on Safari and Firefox, but I can hear them on Chrome
--This only happens on my profile (the main profile)...my daughter's profile on this same MacBook doesn't have the problem
--Videos from Vimeo.com play just fine.
I've removed Flash and then updated my Flash player to the latest version, 11.6.602.180
I've tried deleting my YouTube.com cookie in Safari.
I can't figure out what would make videos silent in this specific set of circumstances but not others, so any help or suggestions you could provide would be appreciated.

BTW I've looked similar threads on here, and have some additional info:
--Video on cnn.com works fine.
--I am not on the HTML5 trial according to this http://www.youtube.com/html5
--I have not tried Vertical Forest yet as I'm unsure if it will help http://www.verticalforest.com/youtube5-extension/
--I haven't tried resetting Safari yet. I have this problem in Firefox too.

Youtube videos are not displaying as a whole

My videos are not showing completely on youtube. You just see a portion of the video

You can check for problems caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update and possibly downgrade to Flash 11.2 or 10.3.

Firefox 11 freezes and is lagging after few minutes. Youtube Videos are laggy while the sound is normal. Can you help me to solve this problem?

If I restart my browser everthing works just fine for at least 5 minutes. When I watch several youtube videos, the lag comes back and the video starts to freeze aboud every second for just a faction of a second. The sound is stil played properly it only affects the graphics...
After about 10 minutes watching videos the whole browser gets laggy . Sometimes when I type the fonts appear only about a second later. Scrolling is also affected. Some minutes later everything is back to normal but it't not allways like that?!
I don't know what to do, I allready restarted with add-ons disabled but I didn't notice any difference. The drivers of my ati graphics card are up-to-date and I only have the problem with firefox, chrome works perfectly.
Regards, Jan

Hey Jan,

Arrow Buttons Below YouTube Videos are Distorted

Below any video I watch on YouTube, the arrow next to the "Add To" button and the "Download" button (with the Easy YouTube Video Downloader add-on installed) are distorted. This doesn't happen in Chrome or IE9. This also happened in Firefox 4.0 so it isn't 5.0 specific.
It seems to only be my main computer, it doesn't happen on my notebook (Windows XP). So I am wondering what could it be about my computer that makes this happen. I have tried clearing the cache, using a clean profile and reinstalling Firefox and this has not helped in any way.

Solved this right after I posted the question, here's what I did:
Unchecked "Use hardware exceleration when available" in Firefox's advanced settings.
