black screen YouTube

When that I go on YouTube to watch videos either directly or from other websites, all I see is a black screen.  The rest of the page looks normal with the thumbnails on the right, as well as the comments under the main screen section, etc.  Even when I call my own videos I always get a black screen.  A few days ago when it happened for the first time, I read somewhere on Google that I have to reset Internet Explorer (I have 8).  I reset IE8 and was able to get the YouTube screen as usual.  But today I went on YouTube from another Web site and the screen becomes black.  I have no idea what to do this time because I did Diagnostics using instructions provided by Microsoft, ActiveX, Adobe, etc., all to nothing does not.  What happened to my computer?

UPDATE!  It's Thursday, July 7, 2011 and I decided to post one of my videos which the URL is in my YouTube mail folder.  The YouTube video played normally.  Then I went to rense.com and selected an article with a YouTube video.  I've linked to YouTube and the video played normally.  It seems that the problem has been corrected.  I hope we don't have to go through this again because it sucks.

Hi EdwardLopez, here is a post on this issue. Check if the steps helps you to fix the problem. http://www.Google.com/support/forum/p/YouTube/thread?TID=5b6f8b8b8014a6d6 if this does not help, post your request in the Youtube forum for better support.

My response to the above:

No, with the exception of the suggestion that http have a s added (https) on the YouTube address bar, nothing suggested by a ton of people with the same problem helped. Helped my reset Internet Explorer 8, but it was short-lived. In the future if it happens again, if Microsoft were to YouTube inaccessible to users of Microsoft (with their permission, of course), then Google would feel the 'effects' and get the cracks on the restoration of YouTube.

  • Firefox displays black screen during playback of YouTube

    I noticed recently that Firefox stopped reading YouTube videos and showing only black there where it is supposed to be a video of the screen. So after a lot of research, a lot of people argued that this is problem of flash player. I tried to install the earlier version, but that has not changed anything. So I uninstalled Firefox and downloaded more old, but stable version (34.0.5). And voila! YouTube videos shows again. After a week, I noticed that YouTube watch again box black screen. Unwittingly, I opened the Revo Uninstall and saw that there are TWO Firefoxes installed - one is that I have personally installed and another is newest Firefox 37.0.2. So I uninstalled the latest Firefox, but unfortunately it also uninstalled my old version of Firefox. This time still installed Firefox older (34.0.5) and I made that he never check for updates and it not install them. YouTube has started to play well. After a few days, new Youtube not not video poster, only his time and you can see real video images by pointing cursor on the video time line. So I checked the applications installed and found mysteriously installed latest Firefox with the former. So can anyone help me to stop the latest auto-install Firefox and leave only the old man? Any solution would be much appreciated.

    YouTube has failed over to the HTML5, users of Firefox's Flash player default player. Usually, you can distinguish by right clicking on the drive and looking at the last item in the context menu that appears. Can or if you see this page, you confirm that you have been switched?

    https://www.YouTube.com/HTML5

    As a temporary workaround, there are a couple of extension to force the Flash on YouTube for users who find that the HTML5 player doesn't work for them (or downloaders will only work with Flash). For example:

    But with Windows 7, you should be able to use the HTML5 YouTube Player, and it would be so ideal for trying to debug this problem if you are interested to experiment a little.

  • Adobe Flash Player not display videos on YouTube after some point - black screen only

    Hello. I have a problem with Flash Player on YouTube. It crashed it many, many times so I decided to open this thread to let you know on this subject, if you do not already know.

    Now, I have no report of accident or something it crashes after a while. Even if it does not crash report, I understand because YouTube videos do not work and I had only a black screen. When I tried to close (click on 'X' in the top right) Firefox, he refuses to close with a few clicks. I can only close with the combination of keys CTRL + ALT + DELETE and end the process. After I closed Firefox and open the new page, it works fine until I get the same situation.

    In addition, I have laptop with these specs:

    Intel Core i5 3210 m

    AMD Radeon 7670 m + Intel HD 4000 (with AMD Switchable Graphics called Enduro)

    8 GB Ram

    Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit

    I don't know what problem is the cause, so I couldn't give you a lot of information. But if you need information, I'll try to help. Thanks in advance.

    PS: I'm sorry for the bad English.

    Thanks for your reply. I totally forgot the subject, sorry.

    I solved the problem, feature hardware acceleration just disabled in the Preferences menu and everything works fine now.

  • Black screen after the Bootcamp

    I just installed a Windows 10 drive to my mac pro end 2012 book. I had some problems when the bootcamp says "cannot copy files of windows (or something like that). However, finally I managed to resolve each of them, the windows of the files have been successfully copoed, and after that I chose to give my windows system 230 G and 270 G for my macbook pro.

    I clicked the button installed, waited a few seconds and the laptop computer just restarted (or close) by itself. It is automatically activated a white screen (which happens all the time when I turn it on). He stayed like that RPF about 5 minutes, and then it turned out to be just black. I mean by dark black, because I can still see a bit of light coming out of the screen. After that, nothing has changed.

    I have my USB connected since all this time and my energy plug. In my view, it is connected to the wifi too, but my mac remained black screen at least an hour and a half so far.

    Is this normal? I watched a youtube video, and he says that he will take a few minutes for the windows logo appears, which is certainly not the case. Im very worried right now: well I reboot by pressing the power button? Should I continue to wait? It's really frustrated. And please ignore the grammar errors that I may have made.

    Please leave a comment if you know what the problem is or if you know how to solve this problem, much appreciated! < 3

    Welcome to Apple Support communities

    The only thing you can do at this stage is to shut down your Mac. Then, after having turned it on again, hold down the ALT key until you see all available for your MacBook bootable disks, so you should see an option with a drive labeled as "Windows" USB icon Choose and let Windows install load, so you no longer have to follow the steps. Do not forget to keep the USB with Windows install is plugged.

    If you don't see the USB as a bootable disk, and then the Windows Installer may be damaged or your MacBook Pro does not support a USB drive installation.

    Can I have your help guys? Thank you.

    Hello

    The Windows XP drivers are not available for the Qosmio F50.
    I found only the drivers for Vista 32-bit and 64-bit OS.

    Your problem could be related to the Win XP drivers that are not certified by Toshiba
    The point is that this drivers don t support an overheating protection as do Toshiba drivers
    So maybe this is the reason why the GPU temperature increases to 60 C.
    But to be honest, the 60 ° C is not too high and each party will create more heat dissipation when running certain games or applications high performance

  • iMac black screen 2008 environment

    I have a 2008 1224 Middle iMac after that turn on only started to halfway through apple logo then went to black screen and closed. I rebooted with the same results. I have Unplugged and brought it home to my office to solve problems. I followed the instructions to reset the pram and smc.  Then after trying to boot into safe mode, realized that the keyboard and mouse were not working. Tested on my home computer and they work fine.  Tried to use the Usb extension but this did not help.  I replaced the pram battery.  Check that all my internal connections to the graphics card, hard drive etc.  A friend told me that it was probably my video card.  I found a card video used for my iMac on eBay and replaced it after the step by step instructions on ifixit.  Still nothing?  I can hear the hard drive starts, the job of cd (unfortunately there is a cd in the drive I can't eject).  The fans are not running, and I don't know how to move forward.  I'm not a computer expert of course.  I put it on youtube and forums online for advice.  What should I do next.  I know that the evidence is enough answer take it to apple.  But I don't have a lot invested in this machine and I would try to keep my cost down trying to fix myself first if possible.  If anyone can help, I would be so appreciative that I really like my iMac.  And cannot afford to replace it now.

    Have you thought to replace the computer. A 2008 isn't really a repair value, my suggestion is to get either a new or refurbished Apple model. A 2008 iMac is too old for Apple even work on that because obtaining parts is extremely difficult. You could take it for a FSAA to consider however I think that any money spent would be better spent on a newer computer.

    Assuming that you have been saving the old computer with Time Machine you can migrate all your data to a new Mac very easily.

    Just to think.

  • full screen YouTube works on half of the screen

    When it is on youtube, safari 9.0.2 on my brand-new early 2015 macbook proand I select full screen on a video, expected load black screen but then the video loads in only half of the screen.

    There is a temporary fix, it must change the quality to any other quality video and then back again, but this must be done each time full screen is enabled and has a little lag.

    Anyone know a permanent fix or knows if apple are working on it.

    This does not occur with firefox, so I guess there is a problem with safari, not my mac or youtube

  • HP Pavilion G6: Black screen, Cap lock blinks and turned on wifi in orange

    Bought this non-functional computer for $40.  The screen is black, the caps lock flashes and the wifi light is lit in orange.  At the time, we could hear all the computer starts, the fan would go, the drive initialize... so I watched a few videos on the problems of black screen on youtube, he got up and running.

    However, it is a tease, she worked for less than a month.  I does not solve the problem which has been heat.  I buy quadfans for going below but they turned off during the night and should not have.  I have the computer to check the updates at 03:00, so the computer would then come and fans wouldn't.

    Well, the black screen problem is backkkk.  The fan don't dΘmarre, try the hard drive.  This time nothing is set.  Ive pulled the motherboard to replace the fan.  I replaced and updated the hard drive and memory... still nothing.   It also has a new battery and power cord.  Any suggestions as to what may be the problem?
