Youtube will not work

I can watch youtube videos just fine on Internet Explorer. I can watch youtube videos on Mozilla Firefox IF they are on another website. I can NOT view youtube videos on the actual youtube website.
So, say on facebook, my friend has a video posted from youtube. I can watch it on Facebook, but when I click the video so I can watch it on Youtube, the video will not come up. It's just a black box where the video normally would be.
If anyone can help me with this problem, it would be greatly appreciated

Answers in this forum have shown different things have worked for different people.
For some clearing YouTube cookies and the cache solved the problem. For details of how to do that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Deleting+cookies and https://support.mozilla.com/kb/How+to+clear+the+cache
Others had to go a step further after deleting YouTube cookies and block YouTube from saving cookies. In the Tools menu select Options to open the Options window. Go to the Privacy panel and make sure it is set to "Use custom setting for history". Click the Exceptions button, type in http://www.youtube.com and click on Block
Another option is to disable hardware acceleration for Flash. To do that right-click on a Flash video, select Settings, go to the first tab of the settings for the option to enable/disable hardware acceleration for Flash. This is something recommended by YouTube for those having problems - http://www.google.com/support/youtube/bin/answer.py?&answer=1209379
You can also try changing to the secure YouTube site, https://www.youtube.com

YouTube will not work on safari for me on the ipad. Is there anyway to fix this? I can go anywhere else on the internet fine and it works on google chrome, but on safari it shows a blank screen with the bar on top after it loads.

YouTube will not work on safari for me on the ipad. Is there anyway to fix this? I can go anywhere else on the internet fine and it works on google chrome, but on safari it shows a blank screen with the bar on top after it loads, if it's even loading at all.
I do not know if it's relevant or not, but I got a message on my ipad while on safari saying that my iPhone has a virus. I looked it up and it seems it might have just been an ad from the website I was on, but it happened around the same time YouTube stopped working.

You will find that using the YouTube app will provide a better viewing experience for YouTube videos.

Pandora and Youtube will not work

I was trying to access pandora on my macbook pro and it will not load. Pandora will pop up but no stations, it is just blank outline. If I click on my profile it will show my stations but will not allow me to play any music. I tried going to youtube to watch some videos and I can not access them either. What should I do?? Is there a setting that I need to fix. Please help.

Do you have "block pop-up windows" picked? Go under Safari>Preferences>Security and make sure that option is unchecked. If that doesn't help, go back to Security and make sure the "always" option is checked on "accept cookies."
Pandora, especially, is very fussy when it comes to browsers that don't allow pop-up windows or won't accept all cookies. Especially if you're listening to it for free with commercials. (Just FYI, if you listen to Pandora a lot, you might want to consider become a premium member--cost is something like $36--that allows you to download a desktop "app" so you don't have to keep going to the website to listen to the music. It also frees you from the ads and lets you reject 6 songs per hour).
If all that still fails, quit Safari, go Applications>utilities. Launch Disk Utility and tell it to repair permission. When it's done, re-start the computer. Try again (you can go under History in Safari and have it re-open all closed windows from last session so you get back all tabs and such that you had before if you like). Hope that helps!

YouTube will not work. It works on Safari but not Firefox

When I go to YouTube, it look almost as if it's a mobile version. The videos appear on the left side of the screen in tiny boxes, and the rest of the screen is white. When I click on a video to play it, I get a "launch application" window that wants me to choose an application (like Quicktime) to play it on. This is only a problem when I use Firefox– it's fine in Safari. But I'd rather use Firefox.

Yes, I am connected to the Internet through my wifi. Everything is working fine with the e eption of youtube. I have reset all Internet settings and have tried synching to iTunes followed by rebooting. This is all the advice I have found although none of it has been helpful.
Has anyone else encountered this problem?

My iPod touch speaker will not work in music.

After updating to iOS 4.3.3 my iPod touch(3rd generation) will no longer play music threw the speaker. It may play for a split second and it stops and the volume bar goes away along with the function of the volume buttons. The speaker will not work right away but eventually will return, it still works for youtube and and everything else but music.

Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

YouTube is not working properly of my Safari. Can you help fix it?

So for some reason YouTube is not working properly on my Safari. I don't know why but its normal for Chrome. Can anyone help me fix this? Here is what is happening.

This looks like an emerging issue with YouTube. But, to make sure:
1) Quit safari (command + q with it open)
2) Open finder. Click on "go" on the top menu bar, then click on "go to folder." In the prompt that comes up, type in:
~/library
3) Pull the caches folder to the trash. This will ask for your password
4) Open Safari. Click "Safari" by the Apple logo, then click "reset safari." Make sure everything is selected, then reset safari.
5) Try again.
If that doesn't work, the resolution by someone else I was working with (see thread here) was:

Youtube videos not working on iPad

YouTube is not working like before and I now can't watch videos in youtube's desktop site and don't say get the app or go to the mobile site because thay are not that well designed or user friendly is there a way to fix this

These videos are restricted and can not be played on a mobile device... These videos have come up before in this forum. The record companies have placed a flag on these video so they can't be played on a mobile device. If you look at the URL for the video you will notice it is a mobile web page... http://m.YouTube...
Anyone can place this flag in their video on YouTube. The flag can be set in the settings/edit for each video.
If you have flash on your mobile device and don't go to the mobile web page you can play the video.

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

Videos, such as the videos on Youtube, will not play. Any ideas?

Youtube app not working "error tap to retry" on ipad 4. Tried holding home button and off together and delete and download agin both didn't work

Youtube app not working "error tap to retry" on ipad 4. Tried holding home button and off together and delete and download agin both didn't work

Oh phooey. I had the same problem, so I decided to delete and reinstall. Only to discover that Google's YouTube app no longer supports anything below iOS 6. This is a problem since I'm running an original iPad.
Yes, I realize that my version of iOS still has the old YouTube app. But it's not the same. For one thing there are a lot of ad-supported videos that will only play in the new app.

Youtube is not working with firefox 26.0 version

Hi support team
I have installed firefox 26.0 on my window 8.Here youtube is not working, it shows an error
'An error occured, please try again later.'
I have updated all plugin with mozilla plugincheck.
But could not succeed.Youtube is working fine with older version.

You can remove all data stored in Firefox from a specific domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry ("History > Show All History" or "View > Sidebar > History") or via the about:permissions page.
Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make a note of those passwords and bookmarks.
You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the involved files.
It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.
You can check if DOM Storage is enabled.

I have an iPad 2 that is updated and using 6.0.1. It is connecting to my wifi just fine. I just purchased a 4th generation iPad. It shows it is connected to the same wifi, same strong signal, but it will not work. HELP!!!

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button
