Youtube videos are grainy looking

I updated the flash player and now all the videos on youtube look like dirt.

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!

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.)

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

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.

Youtube Videos are so slow...

I have an iMAC G5 Version OS X 10.4.11. I purchased it around 2004, I believe, when they first came out? It's been running pretty fast until recently. When I try to do simple things, like watch a "youtube" video, it's choppy and slow. Could this be an issue with my software or is it more likely my DSL speed? I tried that speedtest.net thing, but I can't upgrade to the Google Chrome it's suggesting, because I don't have OS X 10.5 or higher.
I'm not good with all the Mac Lingo, so I apologize if this sounds like a bunch of gibberish.. Just looking for someone to help me with my frustration Thank you/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png/___sbsstatic__ _/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png

You have not been hacked, but I know that is annoying!
Go to System Preferences: Security. Check the box next to "Require password to unlock each secure system preference." Then lock Security.
I haven't had the problem myself, but this post by ejp1684 seems to have offer a solution:
Once in the network prefs and the popup appears, place your mouse over the place where the "Show All" button is (behind the popup). Then, hit Return - which gets rid of the window and immediately the window is gone, click on the 'Show All" button. I then get a window asking me to save etc, the changes. You can click on any of them and you should be back in the prefs window. Then, when you select the Network prefs, you should be able to change things. If this doesn't work, I found that I had to use the mouse button to click on both the "OK" button on the popup, and then quickly switch to the "Show All" button - took me a few times to do it!
Even if you can't change the settings, at least you won't have to do a hard shutdown.

This post by MacStrong also provided a solution that worked for some:
If you recently updated or run a disk utility on your Mac this may have altered your sharing preferences. Go to System Prefs>Sharing Prefs and go to Network Time. If you have it checked, uncheck it and then recheck it. I just fixed a Mac by doing this. If it is not checked try checking and unchecking it.

This solution from Thomas Sattelman has been known to work on Intel macs:
I read somewhere that this message is due to the new way of saving the PPP connection password after the security update is applied. It will occur, only if you have one or more, saved network configurations that includes PPP connection setup.
This is how I got rid of the problem without deleting any of my network locations or any preference files:
1. Log in using an admin account.
2. Open the Security Preference Window
3. Check "Require Password to unlock each secure system preference" to get temporarily rid of the annoying message (at the expense of typing in the admin password whenever settings are changed).
4. Open the PPP network connection (Network Window)
5. Uncheck "Save Password" in the PPP-Pane
6. Type your password into the approriate field
7. Recheck "Save Password" in the PPP-Pane
8. Repeat this for all your PPP network connections
9. Open the Security Preference Pane and uncheck "Require Password to unlock each secure system preference"

Youtube videos judder and look unsmooth

Recently noticing on my new computer and monitor that Youtube videos look unsmooth and on panning shots judder and look quite bad.
Now if I download the video from Youtube and play it through Quicktime Player, they look fine, but it seems like something is wrong with my Flash Player?
FYI everything is up to date, using Windows 7 64 bit, a Nvidia GTX 760 video card, 11,9,900,170 version of Flash. Tried it using
both the newest version of Internet Explorer and Firefox. I have a high speed 10mb cable internet connection, and playing videos
through the Youtube app on xbox 360 they look fine, so I'm pretty sure it's Flash that's the problem.

Similar to me. Try rolling back to flash 11.5 which seems to work better for me. All versions after this are prone to the issue you describe especially 11.9. Disabling gpu acceleration on the flash player made ok difference for me. Suspect iffy adobe code in the last few versions.

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,

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.
