Youtube won't load on macbook

I have a MacBook, Mac OS X 10.5.2, and youtube won't load on my computer. I never used to have this problem but in the last two weeks or so it just stopped loading. In other words, the pictures don't show up on the webpage. The videos themselves work but I can't view the pictures that are next to the title of the video.
Does anyone know how to solve this?

Hi
I'm only guessing but here are a few suggestions that might help:
1) Empty the Safari Cache. Safari menu > Empty Cache
2) Clear out any YouTube cookies. Safari > Preferences > Security > Show Cookies.....
3) In YouTube, ctrl-click on a running movie, choose Settings.. and increase the amount of local storage used.
4) Use a tool like Onyx or Leopard Cache Cleaner to clear out ALL system and user cache files.
Good luck
Bob

Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar, etc. Malware?

Specs:
iMac 10.8.5
3,4 GHz Intel Core i7
32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, security software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar and are randomly corrupted, when I entered something in the Youtube searchbar (when it was still working) it send me to a site with sexadds.
I tried restart my iMac and when I was logged back in, my dock preferences were reset.
Also tried to download some security software to check my Mac for malware, but when I did, I tried several, I got a notification that said something like 'dumpfiles (don't know if this is the right translation...) damaged'.
I'm taking screenshots from all the weird notifications I get and even three quarters off the screenshots I took in the last three hours are already unreadable.
It started this morning when I tried opening a Premiere Pro file on which I worked the night before.
When I tried opening it, it said the file was damaged and could not be openend.
I tried opening it with AE or importing the file in a new project but nothing helped.
When I tried looking for autosaves, this is the really weird part, there were none.
Even though there are autosaves from my other projects, this one was completely gone.
It looked like the day before never happened on my computer.
Also when I openend Premiere all the recent projects had been wiped.
So at first I thought it was a Premiere Pro failure.
But than, later on the day, I tried loading some RAW files from my compact flash card.
This is where I would get an error (error -36) which said some data cannot be read or written.
I tried importing the files with a view different technics, from dragging to importing via Lightroom and I succeeded with Image Browser.
But when I tried moving the files to an other folder the same error occurred.
While dealing with this issue I wanted to put on some soothing music on youtube.
This is when the next weird thing occurred: youtube wasn't completely loading in Chrome. I refreshed a view times, checked the internet connection and still no difference.
When I tried in Safari it did work but when I clicked enter on the searchbar in Youtube, a page with sexadds appeared (I didn't install AdBlock in Safari...).
I read about this 'phishing' where you are redirected to a site were a possible malware installment can take place...
I don't know if it's connected to any of the problems I've been having but I just never experienced this on a mac, I have been a Mac user for 10 years now.
On top of it all, internet started working worse and worse and now it's not even working at all. I had to fill in the password over and over, normally it remembers.
Just like my system preferences, all the preferences I had with Chrome where also reset.
Also somewhere in between I got this notification: Mac OS X must restore library to run programs. Type your password to allow.
To me this is all very weird and suspicious. I have clearly no idea what's going on. Could this be another sort of trojan horse or malware?
Some background info which could be helpful for solving this mystery:
two months ago the one year old Fusion Drive in my iMac just broke out of nowhere.
I got it replaced by a qualified apple repair store.
When I got my computer back, all the files where gone.
I got on the internet without AdBlock installed yet.
A game or whatever it was, can't clearly remember, got installed by accident.
I deleted it immediately.
Only two weeks later, I couldn't log in to my account. It didn't recognize my password and username.
So I brought my mac back to the store.
Here the repair guy said it was a minor thing and he just needed to reconnect my account. He also mentioned he found a downloaded game name Sparta and it probably had something to do with the error.
I asked him; could it be a virus? He replied no way.
I don't know why I couldn't be a virus, just because it's a mac doesn't mean it cannot be done.
So today I tried installing anti virus software (such as avast- was in a weird language looked like slovenian, clamxav - was in slovenian) but I couldn't install them.
PLEASE help me! I don't know what to do anymore, I work fulltime and I need my computer, I have no time to bring it in for repair, are there other perhaps easier ways?
Could this be the work of a virus or a malware? Or is it a disk permissions issue?

It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

Facebook won't load on Macbook pro with 10.8

Facebook won't load on Macbook pro with Mountain lion on a small homw network at home
I am on a wifi Network. Girlfirend's Macbook got no problem with Facebook on the same network (she got snow leopard installed)
Facebook WILL load when i connect my computer directly to the the modem, bypassing the router.
Facebook will load when i use Windows 7 on VMWARE.
What i already tried:
1- Reset the router
2- cleaning caches on all the browsers i'm using (Chrome, Firefox, Safari)
Never had that problem with 10.7
Mystery, don't know what i should do except reinstalling Mountain lion...
Any idea?

Edge Inspect desktop has no UI and only Inspect icon will be visible in the menu bar. Also, you need to be logged in with Adobe ID in the app.

YouTube won't load on Safari, Firefox or Chrome (on MBP)

Just in the last couple of days, my MBP stopped loading YouTube. It doesn't matter which browser I use, it won't load. Ironically, it WILL load on my husband's iMac. It's just started the last couple of days. We're on the same network. I've emptied the cache, deleted history, ran a disk utility, rebooted the Airport and the Modem, still nothing seems to help. Not sure what sort of settings to check for. I tried updating flash, but still nothing.

Have you reinstalling Flash? Download and install from http://www.adobe.com/downloads/ . Perhaps your Flash has become corrupted.
Have you tried using the Chrome browser, which has Flash built into it, versus relying on the separate Flash module (assuming that Flash is the common component causing the issue)?

Youtube won't load on safari

Youtube video won't load lately on Safari.... the time of the video is 00:00 all the time and sometimes when I refresh it like 5 times it will load eventually.

One of the following steps should help.
1. Install Adobe Flash Player.
    http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Restart computer. Relaunch Safari.
2. Enable Plug-ins
    Safari > Preferences > Security
    Web Content:
    Click in the box for "Enable Plug-ins".
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 for
   "You are currently in the HTML5 trial".
4. Reset Safari.
    Click Safari in the menu bar.
    From the drop down select "Reset Safari".
    Uncheck the boxes next to all items.
    Check the box next to "Remove all website data".
    Click "Reset".
5. Turn off Extensions/Plug-ins if any that may interfere with Flash working properly.
    Safari > Preferences > Extensions
Best.

Web pages won't load when MacBook Pro on battery power

My sister bought a MacBook Pro in January. She switched from a Dell laptop. Everything was great until a few weeks ago. When she would be on battery power, she would have a hard time getting websites to load with Safari. I suggested she use Firefox and see if it made a difference. It didn't.
She can try to open a webpage and it will try to load for a long time (3-5 minutes). If she plugs in the power adapter, the page loads immediately. She still has her Dell laptop and the same websites load with no problem when using the Dell on battery.
I told her to call Apple since she has Applecare. Apple sent her a new battery even though they told her they didn't think it was that. It didn't make any difference. They told her it was her internet connection, but it works fine if the MacBook Pro is hooked up to the power adapter and her Dell laptop loads internet pages without any problem while on battery power. Then they tried to tell her just to use the power adapter all the time. She told them if she wanted to be tied down to a power adapter she would have bought a desktop. (Not a very good comment by Apple in my opinion.)
She doesn't live close to an Apple Store to take it in.
This is just the weirdest thing I have ever heard of. All of her other applications (Office, Photoshop, iTunes, etc.) run just fine on battery power. It is just the internet. At first I thought it might just be secure sites, like banking, but she couldn't get MacNN or Versiontracker to load while on battery power.
Does anyone have any ideas?

You'll probably find an Airport aerial issue. Does she find that Airport reception (a better guide is shown in Internet Connect) will drop dramatically when she disconnects power? If so contact AppleCare again and give them this information under the same case number she wuold have gotten when they replaced the battery.
PS In space, no-one can hear you scream!

Windows 7 Won't load on MacBook Pro 17"

I am on my second day of trying to load Windows 7 on my Macbook Pro 3.06Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo with 4 GB of ram. I've tried installing on to an external hard drive and I have tried to install in using boot camp but I get the same error with both, Windows cannot be loaded because of drivers.I have been all over the web looking for intel drivers, chipsets, or any other drivers that might work with no luck. I've even loaded my OS X 10.6 disk in a windows machine and copied the drivers over to an external. I have had Windows XP using Boot Camp and refuse to go to Windows Vista. Any Advice would be great.

You have not provided, for me, anything to go by.
You can't install Windows on a Mac except with Boot Camp Assistant if you want to retain Mac OS.
You cannot install on external drives.
You can install Windows 7 only, take over the entire internal hard drive.
Boot Camp Assistant can fail or refuse to partition if there is not enough free contiguous (unfragmented) free space or if there are files that cannot be moved. In which case you may need to boot from another hard drive and buy iPartition and/or iDefrag; or, use Disk Utility and totally erase and restore from backups.
And most of that is in the Boot Camp PDF:
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp - tech articles, how to, troubleshooting, and of course, the Guide in PDF format.

Itunes store won't load for macbook pro.

I try to connect to the Itunes store - the status bar at the top loads all the way up; then I just get a blank screen. It seems others have experienced the same issue. There is some answer out there involving "netsh winsock reset" but the step by steps are all for windows/pc users. I contacted apple support, but I am not paying 20.00 for an answer. Any help would be appreciated.

@kyle_roy
thanks for that solution, because it worked for me too! (macbook pro, 5,1 running OSX 10.6.8, loading with itunes 11.1.
i wanted to browse/order a movie and got the same blank screen—downloading the latest version of safari solved it.
the safari update must install an additional system components necessary for apple store to load properly. I wonder what would happen if i deleted safari since i primarily use google chrome for web browsing.
if someone knows or finds out what the new or updated system components are, please let me know in case this ever happens again.
thanks.

Google, YouTube won't load in all browsers.

On all accounts setup on both my computers at home, Google and Youtube struggle to even open in all my browsers (Safari 4.0.4, Firefox 3.0.15, and Chrome 5.0.307.7), while the rest of the internet loads fine (including for example, Gmail and Hulu).
I did install some security updates recently, and the issues I am experiencing did start occurring around the same timeframe. I've reset Safari, emptied the cache, deleted cookies and restarted my machines without seeing any improvements. After restarting my router, I can access Google.com more successfully, but still have problems with YouTube.
I did read on the following thread about someone having similar issues that ended up being related to a bad DNS address, but I am curious if anyone has experienced anything similar to what I am describing because of another issue.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11064680
Any suggestions out there to help me troubleshoot?

I had the same trouble as you and it started shortly after I ran the weekly software updates. I run the same browser versions as you also, and ran thru the exact same procedures (resetting safari, re-installed browsers, etc). I checked my DNS details, rebooted router/modem & even updated its firmware - nothing!
Breakthru: I uninstalled Flash Player on my machine. Some websites (or certain modules within sites) don't load properly, but I manage to contain crashing across all 3 browsers.
With regards to that discussion you posted - I couldn't find PeerGuardian on my iMac, so unsure what that is all about.
I do need to upgrade to Leopard Snow (wondering if that would eliminate the problem), however, running stable for the past 6 hours.
Good luck!

Youtube won't load

we have two MacBooks and neither will play youtube videos. We keep getting error message. Everything is updated - help

Well that was simple and had nothing to do with the Modem (like it was going to, but then technology eh), but how the heck did Safari change it's preferences without me knowing. I checked the preferences and the 'enable plugins' button uncheck itself? Spooky.

Youtube won't load on firefox when just five minutes ago it did. Why is it messing up?

Just five minutes ago youtube was working just fine on firefox However now this comes up "firefox can't find the server at www.youtube.com." what the heck is going on here? It works on my explorer just fine but not on firefox. What happened?
Also, I use windows vista.

So, even though something worked five minutes ago it can not work right due to that? Somehow, I didn't have to do any of that. I don't know what it was but when I went to check one last time after posting here. The youtube page loaded. And I take care of my cookies and history about every three days. But I am glad it is working now and thank you for the help. I hope anyone else that sees this is able to be helped to.

Videos from Facebook or youtube won't load on my iPhone 5

Videos from Facebook and youtube continuously load its the same with safari videos. It's just come on and I have no idea why this has happened.
I have an iPhone 5 which I've had for about a year with all the latest software.
Any help would be great appreciated.

Facebook decided people with the iPhone 3G were not the sort of users they want. Your only choice is to get a newer phone. And complain to Facebook.

Youtube won't load any videos? everything else loads but the video is a blacks screen :(

I have a new macbook pro, i haven't had it for very long but just earlier this week it started messing up, not sure if it's my wifi (bigpond) but I really want it to work is anyone else having this problem?

Hi ..
Most YouTube content requires Flash ... and doubt it's a Wi-Fi issue.
Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
Click Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
Using Safari to view YouTube? With Safari open, press Command + Option + E to empty the Safari cache.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that doesn't help, you may have the YouTube HTML5 beta enabled.
Opt out here > YouTube

Adobe air won't load, on macbook pro

I have an early 2011 Macbook pro, all was well till I tried to download latest Mac User on Zinio reader. This worked when I reopened zinio to read it
it crashed. Have tried, even took machine to Apple store, all attempts to download adobe air fail. Does anyone have a fix????

I'm assuming you have one of the MBP's with a discrete GPU? If so, there is a known issue with Adobe Air and MBPs with discrete GPUs. In order to get Air-related things to run without crashing, you must go to:
System Preferences > Energy Saver
From there, uncheck "Automatic Graphics Switching."
Adobe Air should now work properly.

Printer Drivers won't load on Macbook Pro

I just purchased a canon image class d530, and when I try to load the driver I get the error message "Cannot install on this version of the operating system you are using". It says it should work for Mac OS X 10.5.8 or later and I have Mac OS X 10.10.1. What can I try to get a driver to load so the printer is usable with my computer?

Not sure for sure because I just read it rather than
experienced it myself but it is my understanding that
the Academic version does not qualify for free
upgrades.
So you might be stuck with what you have - try
calling Applecare and see...
Not true. Academic versions and retail versions are exactly the same regarding the software. The only difference is price.
