YouTube won't work in any browser

So I'm running 10.6.7 on my Mac and YouTube just doesn't work in any capacity, on the page itself (which doesn't load properly and seems to ignore that I have Flash and/or Java) or embedded. No, wait! I just spontaneously got two embedded videos to work, which is the first time in days. Before now, I wouldn't even see them on pages; there would just be a big blank space.
I've made sure I've got all the updates. I've uninstalled and reinstalled Java and Flash. I dumped the "preferences" folder in Macromedia/Flash. I've rebooted a few times. I've opened Safari in 32-bit mode. I've tried to open YouTube in Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Opera. And guess what? Not a single of these things has worked.
It seems unrelated to my connection because YouTube is working properly on the PCs in the house. Also, video sites like vimeo are working for me, so it doesn't seem to be a Flash problem, though like I said I reinstalled it anyway.
Possibly related is the fact that a lot of images embedded on webpages appear broken or dead to me, even though I've verified with a bunch of other people that they're working. The same applies when it comes to working across browsers--those images don't appear even if I open the same page up in Safari.
I just plain can't figure out what to do anymore. I've run out of things to Google. Any suggestions?

No, nothing changes. It reloads still telling me to join. I tried it in the latest Safari as well, but no dice. My default browser is Chrome, but I've been trying everything that doesn't work in Chrome in Safari because I might as well, right?
I mean clearly it's an issue with my Mac, because if it were just a browser thing, YouTube would be working in other browsers, and if it were a YouTube thing it'd be happening to everyone else, and if it were a connection thing it'd be happening to everyone else on my connection, but it's not so it must be my Mac but then...you know...what is it? Apart from YouTube and the weird images thing, which seems to be a recent development, I haven't noticed any other symptoms.
But the YouTube page won't even load properly for me all the way. It's not limited to the video, it's the entire page refusing to load any images or anything other than plain text. Except, bizarrely, the login page, which looks just fine.

  • Flash Player won't work on any browser! Help!

    Hi!
    I can't get any videos to play in any browser (Internet explorer, Chrome or Firefox). I can only play videos from Youtube and Netflix but no other videos or rich media content works.
    I have literally tried everything that is recommended on the Flash Player Help page.
    I've updated and re-installed Flash Player a million times.
    I've updated and re-installed all my web browsers.
    I enabled and disabled Active-X.
    I enabled Flash Player on Chrome through chrome://plugins
    I disabled background apps.
    I turned off my firewall.
    I checked for viruses.
    And I googled the problem on a ton of other sites, followed other users' instructions to fix the issue, and still no luck.
    This is my system:
    Windows 8
    Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3317U CPU @ 1.7GHz 1.70GHz
    64-bit Operating System x64 based processor.
    I need Flash Player to do assignments online and I haven't been able to do them all week. Please help ASAP!
    Thank you!

    As above, have gone through a number of browsers and tried all of the fixes listed on any webpage I can find. Always the same outcome, video plays for a few minutes (occasionally seconds) and then green screen/jumbled audio
    Have tried Chrome, IE, Firefox and Opera, all with the same results.
    Laptop is brand spanking new, out of the box less than two days, so far I've only installed the latest Nvidia drivers 347.09 and Avast.
    System is:
    Asus ROG G751JT
    Windows 8.1 (fully updated)

  • YouTube won't work on any device, rest of Internet fine.

    I have periods in my house when YouTube will not work on my MacBooks, iPads or iPods. I'll get the rest of the Internet fine, but YouTube on these devices only brings a black screen and spinning dial.

    It may have been - I did disable it (was my first thought), but that didn't work. Disabled it on another router and it still didn't work - have just disabled it again and it's all working again! My 4mb line speed (welcome to South Africa) is now flying at 8mb speeds so I think it definitely has had something to do with our ISP. Strange strange but thanks to you all for making the effort to help - much appreciated!!

  • Embedded videos won't play on any browser (youtube will, though)

    Hi all, I'm at my wits end.  I have a fairly new computer running Windows 7 64 bit OS.   The problem is with non-Youtube embedded videos.  Flash has been playing them only on IE up until today, now it won't work in any browser (including Chrome).  (Youtube seems to work fine, embedded or not)  As an example, when looking at Facebook, any embedded Youtube video plays just fine, but all other videos only give me the black rectangle of doom.  I've just spent three hours following all the instructions here:  I've uninstalled, reinstalled, deleted the registry key in these instructions.   I've disabled ad blocking and turned off my only antivirus program (Microsoft Security Essentials).  I've tried downloading Flash Player using every browser and both 32 and 64 bit versions of the browsers.  Nothing makes the embedded videos play.  The Flash version I have is 11.6.602.171 and the little movie with the ball going by the screen shows fine, and the correct OS is showing.  I'm baffled and out of ideas.  Thanks for any help!

    There must be some other people who have encountered this same problem.

  • Certain web sites won't load on any browser on Macbook Pro

    Starting yesterday certain web sites won't load on any browser (Safari or Chrome). These include sites like the New England Journal of Medicine, Washington Post, and English Bulldog News. I get an error message in Safari that the server took too long to respond and in Chrome I get a connection timeout error message. I updated Adobe Flash with a clean install as I was unable to update using the standard method due to connection timeout. That restored my access to YouTube video but today it takes ~2 minutes to load a YT video. Web sites are loading fine on my phone and household PCs.
    Not sure if it is notable that my internet loading capacity has been very slow for some time. I worked with the internet company to increase the network speed but my computer has not seen benefit. No problems on the PCs in our house but my Macbook very frequently gets partially "kicked-off" the network as indicated by yellow lights seen next to the "internet" and "server" items in my Network Diagnostics utility.
    I looked at old threads and ran EtreCheck (see results copied below) as was recommended to another user several months ago, but would appreciate any thoughts about where to go from here. Could it be malware? Or just a classic case of operator error? Here are the EtreCheck "red" items extracted from the full report below:

  • Flash not working in any browser for one user login

    Hello,
    I recently got my macbook pro back from repair with a new logic board, and all of a sudden Flash doesn't seem to work in any browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox) for my main user login. It crashes nearly every time - in Safari it just won't load any Flash content and the activity window gives an error, and in Chrome it pops up a "Flash has crashed" warning.
    I made a new user account, and Flash works perfectly well in all browsers under that login (and the guest login). This leads me to believe it must be a broken file in my user Library, but I can't figure out which one it would be.
    I don't imagine this to be related to my new logic board, but I thought I'd mention that anyway. I also updated Safari to 5.1.1, which is more likely to be a cause?
    I'm running  OS 10.6.8, Macbook Pro 2.53ghz. Browsers are Chrome 14.0.835.202, Safari 5.1.1, Firefox 5.0.1. Flash plugin version 11.0.1.152.
    I've uninstalled Flash, repaired preferences, reinstalled Flash, re-repared preferences, rebooted, all of those standard tricks, no dice.
    Any support would be appreciated, I'd rather not have to migrate everything over to a new user account!

    I have exactly the same problem that you have with my Mac Pro (10.7.2). At first there was only one site that was broken (I didn't pay any attention to that then), now I have found 3 different sites and sometimes problems e.g. in Youtube and other similar sites.
    The broken ones are NHL Vault, Soundcloud music-plugin and RAY (browser poker client). Many other sites works just fine.
    I suspect some kind of write issue to some of the flash storage/temp/cache folders but cannot resolve any further.
    UPDATE: Wow, now it works! I did the above mentioned Flush-trick (manually deleted .sol files and their parent folders) and also deleted everything inside path: user/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/#Security/FlashPlayerTrust/
    Strange is that in any of those folder I didn't find any sign to Soundcloud and Ray, only NHL - and now all those are working.

  • Flash videos won't load in any browser

    Downloaded and installed fp 13.0.0.214
    Win8 - 64 bit quad core
    Videos won't play in ANY browser.
    Youtube videos work fine.
    Any ideas anyone?

    First, check that Windows Media Player is set as the correct plug in - in Safari, go to help/installed plug ins. There should be a section marked 'Windows Media Player' showing 'application/x-mplayer2' and listing wmv files (amongst others).
    Sometimes these arrors are caused by DNS failures. Ensure your system is fully up to date, and enter your ISP's DNS server IP addresses (usually two of them, sometimes three) in the 'DNS servers' box on the TCP page of the Network preference pane.
    The DNS server IPs are usually supplied with the ISP's initial set up documentation, or located on the ISP's help page.
    The reason it could be a problem is that in many iterations of MacOS X, the system is extremely sensitive to how quickly a DNS search responds. DNS is the process whereby a user-provided URL is converted into the correct IP address for internet lookup, so if the video source is held on a different server and the DNS process doesn't return a valid IP address in time, you would then get an error of the sort you describe.

  • Flash player won't work on any browsers

    For some reason, flash won't work on any browsers. I've tried Chrome, Safari and Firefox. I have always had to click on any flash element to load it however now, it just says I have to install flash. I have tried re-installing flash, uninstalling flash (checked it wasn't still in macHD/library etc)
    I've searched around for any ideas that might work but can't find anything that's working. Does anyone have any suggestions!?

    If you're sure you've installed the latest version of Flash, take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. After each step, relaunch Safari and test. For a "missing plug-in" error, start with Step 7. Back up all data before making any changes.
    Step 1
    You might have to log out or reboot before a Flash update takes effect.
    Step 2
    In the Safari preference window, select
    Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    Close the window. Then select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Delete All. Close the preference pane.
    Step 3
    If you're only having trouble with YouTube videos, log in to YouTube and load this page. You may see a link with the text "Leave the HTML5 Trial." If so, click that link.
    Step 4
    If you get a warning of a "blocked" or "outdated" plug-in, then from the menu bar select
     ▹ System Preferences… ▹ Flash Player ▹ Advanced
    and click Check Now. Quit and relaunch the browser.
    If the warning persists, triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted text and select
    Services ▹ Open
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open. Inside it, there should be a file named "XProtect.meta.plist". If that file is missing and you know why it's missing, restore it from a backup or copy it from another Mac running the same version of OS X. Otherwise, reinstall OS X.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
    Step 5
    Open this folder as in Step 4:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Delete the following item, or anything with a similar name, if present:
    Flash Player (failing).plugin  
    You may be prompted for your login password.
    Step 6
    Re-download and reinstall Flash. Download it from the domain "get.adobe.com". Don't click a link from any other website, including this one, because you can't trust links. They may be an attempt to trick you into installing malware masquerading as Flash. Type the address into the browser window. Never download a Flash update from anywhere else.
    Step 7
    If you get a "missing plug-in" error, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    from the Safari menu bar and check the box marked
    Allow (or Enable) plug-ins
    Then click the button marked
    Manage Website Settings...
    if present and make sure that the website is not blocked for Flash.
    Step 8
    Select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    from the Safari menu bar. If any extensions are installed, disable them.

    might hv been wrongly packed.

    Fix your markup issues:

    Also, your page gives a javascript error, caused by those
    script blocks:

    demo1_files/urchin.js is missing on your server so doing a
