Youtube won't play videos on Safari

I have a Mac OS X version 10.5.8 and Safari won't play any youtube videos on youtube. However on some other sites linked videos will play. I've tried (multiple times) to uninstall and reinstall Adobe Flash Player to no avail. Any other solutions?

Hi ...
If you have ClickToFlash installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. The plugin is located in:   /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
And check to see if Safari is running in 32 bit mode. Right or control click the Safari icon in your Applications folder then click Get Info. If the box next to:  Open in 32 bit mode  is selected, deselect, quit then relaunch Safari.
Empty the Safari cache more often. From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache
Quit then relaunch Safari, try a video.

    Wifi? Cellular? That's not much to go on. More details help. If you think it's your internet contact your provider or carrier.

  • Flash player won't play videos in safari after I've installed Lion does anyone have a solution?

    Hi,
    I've installed Lion after which Flash Player won't play videos with Safari. I keep being prompted to download and install the latest version of Flash Player whcih I've done several times. Can someone please help me fix this.
    I find Adobe's announcement that there are no issues with Flash Player and Lion a bit of a sick joke.
    Many thanks,
    Ian Pickering

    This sounds like the problems that Adobe have reported which are listed at
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html#main_Flash_Player
    I only use flash for watching video clips on the BBC website so haven't been affected by these other issues. The text below is copied from the website at the above link. Hope this helps.
    The Flash Player Settings dialog box doesn't respond to mouse clicks. As a workaround, press the Tab key to move to the Close button and press the spacebar to close the dialog box. While not all settings are available, you can also use the Flash Player native control panel in System Preferences.
    Custom native mouse cursors don't animate properly on Mac OS 10.7.

  • Youtube problem when playing videos in safari

    Whatever youtube video i play it just freezes and glitches and the whole video window and webpage becomes unresponsive whether im on youtube or watching a youtube video on another site, the video is unwatchabe and i have to reload the page over and over and sometimes it will eventially play okay. I have no problems playing videos through firefox.
    I have tried empyting the cache, cookies and all the other browsing data, i have tried reinstalling flash player, i have cleaned my computer and still the problem persisits. I have no problems with any other video sites or flash windows, its just youtube (typically).
    I need help to get to the bottom of this!

    Hi..
    Quit Safari.
    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Storage tab. Click: Delete All
    You need to uninstall the current Flash plugin then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    Launch Safari From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Empty Cache (yes, do this one more time).
    Now try a video.
    BTW... if you have the ClickToFlash extension installed, that can prevent Flash based video from streaming. It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.

  • Video on YouTube won't play !

    Video on YouTube won’t play Until I refresh the page? However, when the video ends okay then can not play the video again? Video plays only once then had to refresh the page in order to watch the same video?

    Hi G-hot, were you able to solve your other issues with Youtube from your earlier thread, or is this an additional problem with Youtube? I think if you could list all the problem in one list it might be helpful.

    Also, did you do the usual?
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first on Youtube and Gmail). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then change the site at the top from youtube.com to google.com and clear those as well.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • Firefox won't play videos from YouTube, Hulu, etc. w/latest Flash version.

    Despite following both Firefox and Flash directions, Firefox won't play videos from YouTube, Hulu, etc. They either never load or they load and freeze within seconds. Before I got the latest versions of Firefox and Flash, I did not have this problem. So there must be a problem in one or both of them. Since I understand from various websites that this is a widespread problem, can Firefox fix this? It's a major flaw in the latest Firefox version.

    '''If you are running Adblock Plus...'''
    While on a YouTube page, right click the ABP icon and "open blockable items".
    When the window opens at the bottom of the page, right click this line: http://s.ytimg.com/yt/swfbin/watch_as3-vfl9DouAr.swf (or some variation) , then "Disable Filter".

  • Youtube suddenly stopped playing videos

    My iMac OSX 10.6.8 suddenly stopped playing youtube videos.
    I haven't installed any new software or changed anything that coincided with the loss.
    The youtube screen says blocked plug in.
    I read the existing discussions and:
      I opted out of the HTML5 pilot, restarted Safari (5.1.8).  Still won't play videos. 
    In the past, videos played on Quick Time Player so I'm reluctant to install Flash Player. 
    Any ideas??

    You cannot watch YouTube w/o flashplayer.  You will need to install the latest version from Adobe's website.  Also, regarding QT install Perian (AVI and FLV support) 
    After doing the above installations, make sure you repair permissions and restart your computer.

    Did you also update Adobe Flash Player to be compatible w/your new OS? 

  • Quicktime won't play videos online. ???

    I just downloaded quicktime, and then restarted my computer. But it still won't play videos online. I'm not sure if it is like this for all sites, but i have one site in particular that won't play videos. Any ideas? I have Windows 7 by the way.

    I come across this a lot, actually. I'm tired of having to switch to Firefox in order to view certain quicktimes. Here's a clip that won't play for me:
    http://www.chartoonz.com/index.html
    I can't figure it out because Safari will play quicktimes, even other h264 quicktimes, but then I'll run across an h264 on someone's site and I get the question mark.

  • No longer can play videos on Safari

    All of a sudden I can no longer play videos on Safari.  Have re-loaded Flash Player but still nothing.  Any suggestion?

    Open System Preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab.
    Click Delete All under Browsing Data and Settings
    Back to Safari. Press Command + Option + E to empty the Safari cache.
    Quit and relaunch Safari, try a video.
    If that doesn't help, you may have the YouTube HTML5 beta enabled.
    Opt out here >  YouTube

    It can also be installed as a plugin in /Library/Internet-Plug-Ins.
    Try uninstalling the currently installled Flash plugin (required for most YouTube content) then reinstall new >  Troubleshoot Flash Player | Mac OS
    From your Safari menu bar top of your screen click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
    Select:  Show Develop menu in menu bar

  • My computer won't play videos..

    My computer won't play videos on news sites or videos I have successfully uploaded and others have viewed on Facebook. It's fairly new- do I need a new version of Safari? I have version 5.0.

    Do you have the Flash player installed? If not, go to Adobe and install the newest version.
