Youtube will not play

On my iphone 4, 16gb, ios 5.0.1, youtube videos will not play, at all. I tap the video, it acts like it is loading and then immediately returns to the video description. I have done a hard reset, wiped history and data and cookies from safari...any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Some videos on YouTube will not play

As of a few days ago some of the videos on YouTube will not play I tried IE(I stopped using after it ask for an update) ,but then I had to use google chome and I hate it, but the videos played. Its not every video, and some times it's the same video I just played not to long ago. I fear that soon I might not be able to view most videos on YouTube. I cleared my cache, made sure everything it up-to-date, although Silverlight-plugin will not update, no matter what I try to do( I hope that is not the reason, because Silverlight won't up-date.) I'm am not sure when this problem first arose, at first I though it was Google/YouTube having issues, but it seems like Google's browser works fine on the videos that do not play on Firefox. What can I do, I need Firefox to work, I can't bare to move to another browser.

A few other thoughts:
(1) For a video where this happens, does the problem persist if you try reloading a few times using Ctrl+Shift+r?
(2) Is there any difference in how you connect to Youtube between your browsers? You can check Firefox's connection setting here:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > Network mini-tab > "Settings" button
The default is "Use system proxy settings" but you also could try "No proxy".
(3) Have you received any SSL-related errors, such as pages reporting a certificate problem and requiring you to make an exception, or missing styles or functionality on secure sites?
(4) If you opted in to the html5 player, is there a pattern of the problem videos being in one format or the other (HTML5 player vs. Flash player)? https://www.youtube.com/html5

Netflix and Youtube will not play on Firefox but I can still hear sound and can pause with the space bar. Works fine on Internet Explorer.

All of a sudden last night after Firefox restarted after an update I am no longer able to play Netflix or Youtube. I can hear the sounds from whatever I select to play but the browser is black and I can even pause using the space bar but no interaction with the cursor. Both Netflix and Youtube work fine on Internet Explorer... I tried updating plug ins, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling plug ins and I even uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox itself but nothing has helped. Not sure what steps to take next...

Hello,
Some problems with Flash video playback can be resolved by disabling hardware acceleration in your Flash Player settings. (See [[Flash Plugin - Keep it up to date and troubleshoot problems|this article]] for more information on using the Flash plugin in Firefox).
To disable hardware acceleration in Flash Player:
#Go to this [http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues Adobe Flash Player Help page].
#Right-click on the Flash Player logo on that page.
#Click on '''Settings''' in the context menu. The Adobe Flash Player Settings screen will open.
# Click on the icon at the bottom-left of the Adobe Flash Player Settings window to open the Display panel. <br/> <br/>[[Image:fpSettings1.PNG]] <br/>
# Remove the check mark from '''Enable hardware acceleration'''.
# Click '''Close''' to close the Adobe Flash Player Settings Window.
# Restart Firefox.
This [http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help01.html Flash Player Help - Display Settings page] has more information on Flash Player hardware acceleration, if you're interested.
Does this solve the problem? Let us know.

Taking a long time to load a YouTube video and then it will not play

Trying to watch youtube videos and connection from news source. It has been taking along time to load and then will not play... Do I have a setting off any ideas? This has not been the case until recently

Try to restart using your installer disk, by inserting your installer disk and restart while pressing C.
And after it reboot using installer disk and you select the installer language, got o utilities and repair permission and disk.
Also try to reset your PRAM and SMC:

IF the problem still presist, you might have to re-install your OS X.
Good Luck.

Hi,
First, try resetting Internet Explorer as follows - be aware that this will remove Bookmarks and Saved Passwords etc.
Open windows Control Panel, open Internet Options, click the Advanced tab and then click the Reset button. Click 'Yes' or 'Ok' to any further prompts required to complete the process.
Next, follow the guide by Daniel_Potyrala on the link below to completely uninstall and then reinstall the Flash Player Plug-in.

Chatango not desplaying Icons, Most Youtube videos will not play.

I do seem to be getting the issue were FF5 will not play Youtube videos, but this is not consistent. If I go to youtube to watch them, the will state there was an error in loading the video. But if I click on a video in MSN and it takes me to youtube, then the video will play.
Also, avatar Icons on chatango are not showing up. So far these are the only two sites I've noticed a problem on.
I tried to do a lot of trouble shooting myself, such as running my antimalware bytes, cleaning my cache and cookies, checking to make sure all the plug ins I knew how to get to were up to date, and that I had the latest version of Java Script and Flash Player.
At this point...I'm at a lose as to what else it could be, or I can do. I've even re-downloaded FF5 and reinstalled it.
This is getting really annoying, because I have Chrome as well, and it keeps crashing Flash. Explorer likes to think it crashed when I close it and it restarts. None of my Browsers seem to be working correctly right now.

As you know, Firefox 5 contains publicly reported security vulnerabilities, so you probably should update again soon.
You've probably read that there are some compatibility issues between the latest Flash player and some Firefox add-ons or settings. Could you see whether this article has anything new that you haven't tried: [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]].

My iPad will not play sounds on certain applications. ie: if I click on a video from FB sound will not play. If I go to YouTube and play the same video sound will play. Also certain games will no longer play sounds. They always played sounds but now won't now. I just went to my churches web site to watch live service and again no sound. I grabbed my dads iPad and the sound works fine.

If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

I can understand this with videos you are streaming, i.e. maybe you have a slow data connection.
Videos on your phone should not do this. Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

Hi, my brand new iphone 4 will not play music through my music app but it will play videos through youtube and will play the sounds throught my games and will play text tones and facetime ect. what is wrong?

At least I'm not the only one with the issue. I was looking it up so see if others had the same problem and found a bunch of posts about it. I'm assuming it's not the phone then, it's the software. Should I bring it to the Apple Store? Replacing the phone seems stupid, because the phone isn't really the problem. It's the software! Maybe the iOS 5.0.2 will fix it??? I don't really want to wait though, it's a pain. If a lot of people have this issue it should get Apple's attention. They need to do something to fix it, ASAP!

Wrt54g will not play youtube videos

wrt54g will not play videos. I have connected my modem directly to computer and it works fine if I connect thru the router it will not play... Please Help Bill

Is the problem only experienced by one computer or all devices are experiencing the same thing? Since it's working fine directly to the modem, it must really be on the router. Try to upgrade the firmware of the router. Once the upgrade is done, reset the router and reconfigure the settings. You may refer to these links in reconfiguring the router: Setting up a Linksys router with Cable Internet service, Setting up a Linksys router for DSL Internet connection.

Flash 10.1 installs in Vista and XP but will not play some content

I started this morning by thinking the problem I am experiencing with Flash Player 10.1 is a version of the problem discussed in this forum under "Flash 10.1 not working in User account." I now recognize that it is a different problem.
First, FP 10.1 (specifically v. 10.1.53.64) installs fine either in Vista Ultimate 64 (IE Active-X or FireFox Add-in--I use and work in an administrator account) or XP (multiboot machine). I can confirm the installation at http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html and the FLVs at http://www.acpmh.unimelb.edu.au/resources/resources-education.html play with no problem.
Some content, however, simply will not play. I need badly to look at http://library.creativecow.net/articles/hansen_jaysen/growing/video-tutorial.php and it hangs and tells me I need Flash Player--both in IE and FF. I have repeatedly uninstalled FP, rebooted, and reinstalled but that doesn't change anything. Worse still, since I use Adobe Connect a lot, Connect hangs when I try to enter a meeting. Exactly the same thing occurs on my laptop which runs Vista 64 Home.
I have tried everything I can think of and searched with every strategy that seems promising but I have found nothing on this problem. Surely I can't be the only person experiencing this!. Does anyone have any idea what is going on and how to deal with this problem?
Thanks in advance!!!

I have exactly the same problem as the OP, on both my desktop (Windows XP) and my laptop (Windows Vista). Both PCs have the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Opera and IE but no browser on either PC will display video content from the BBC website bbc.co.uk/news any more. Before the Flash Player 10.1 upgrade about 10 days ago everything worked fine.
It still works on YouTube videos and the OP's http://www.acpmh.unimelb.edu.au/resources/resources-education.html but it won't play http://library.creativecow.net/articles/hansen_jaysen/growing/video-tutorial.php that the OP wants to view.
All that happens is that the first static frame is shown, but the 'telephone dial' animated icon (circle of white dots) just keeps going around forever and everything stays frozen and there's no sound. Except when I've uninstalled Flash, there is no error message. I've tried going back to a System Restore point but it didn't work; perhaps it's not far back enough.
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ confirms that I have the latest Flash version 10.1.53.64, it says it's successfully installed and plays the rotating 'italic F' animation. Incidentally, that's a better test page than http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/155/tn_15507.html as referenced by the OP which seems out of date and claims that 10.0 is the latest version.
I've temporarily switched off my Firewall (Windows or Zone Alarm). I've uninstalled and re-installed Flash several times for each browser on each PC, using both the Vista Control Panel and Adobe's uninstaller, I've tried switching off the hardware acceleration but nothing has fixed the problem.
Some other points (sorry if they are red herrings, please excuse my ignorance):-
If you uninstall Flash but find the test page still works, remember that the Chrome browser has Flash embedded within it. See http://www.google.com/support/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=108086dobe Flash?
Is Shockwave Player the same as Adobe's Flash player? Very confusing!
Apologies if this hasn't solved your problem, but perhaps it shows that something in Flash Player 10.1.53.64 really is broken. If some sites never work any more but others will, it's just too much of a coincidence !
