Videos YouTube hang in Safari

Various Youtube videos in safari will play for a second or two and then hang. The same links work perfect in Chrome.

I don't know that I'm not alone in this. I have held some time ago, then it fixed itself, now it's back.

Most YouTube content requires Flash...

Although it works well in Chrome, try the following.

Open system preferences > Flash Player then select the Advanced tab, and then click: delete everything in navigation and settings data.

Quit and then restart Safari to test.

If you still have problems, make sure that Flash is up to date. System Preferences > Flash Player > updates > check now.

If the YouTube video content still hangs, you can have an extension Safari or third party plugin installed which is causing a conflict. Troubleshooting help here > If Safari is slow, unresponsive, which closes unexpectedly or has other issues - Apple Support

  • Videos YouTube lock up Safari?

    After watching a video or two on YouTube, Safari hangs and must be stopped and restarted. Has started a few days ago, but seems to be a persistent problem that survive several reboots, too. Anyone else seeing this?

    As another feature I noticed during the same period, although I can't imagine what could be the connection. The BOINC manager no longer works on the Mac. Doesn't seem to be a network routing problem since my other machines (10 Windows and Ubuntu) still work normally, I would say, for BOINC and YouTube.

    No Flash on Mac, so it may not be the problem...

  • I get "an error occurred, please try again later" when you try to view videos youtube on Firefox, but no problems on Chrome

    I get the error: "year error has occurred, please try again later" when you try to view videos youtube on Firefox.
    I tried to use Google Chrome and everything's good about it.

    Things I've tried:

    • Clearing cookies, history etc.
    • Removal of cookies.sqlite
    • Re-installed a new Firefox
    • Re-installed Flash Player 14
    • Get rid of Flash Player 14 and returned to Flash Player 11

    None of this has worked.

    I get the error for all videos to youtube every time, it is not a random phenomenon.

    I'm really frustrated by it because Firefox is my favorite browser and now I am forced to switch to Chrome.

  • Videos YouTube start muted

    HP G72-253NR - MS WIN 7HP SP1 - FIREFOX 24.0 - FLASH 11.8.800.168

    Until recently, videos YouTube played to whatever the last book that I had. Videos from YouTube (site / embedded) begin with Muted. I can increase the volume in the drive, but the videos start with muted.

    Have you checked the volume mixer; reinstalled Flash; system reboot; Firefox restarted with the new profile, disabled modules and allowed the cookies/cache.

    Seems to be resolved by updating your Adobe Flash Player version 11.9.900.117

  • After you have installed Mozilla Firefox with Adobe Flash Player 11.6 20.0, videos YouTube do not load correctly.

    Videos YouTube has of worked before installing Adobe Flash Player. Once installed the screen flickers, after a second, rewind at the start, then plays normally. This only happens when I use Internet Explorer. I reinstalled Mozilla Firefox and Adobe Flash Player several times but nothing seems to work. Decommissioning of Adobe Flash Player does not work either. It seems that Firefox is the problem, but I'm not completely sure.

    You can check for problems with the latest version of the Flash plugin and try these:

    • disable an eventual extension of the browser for Firefox Plugin RealPlayer Record and if installed RealPlayer update
    • disable the safe_mode in Flash 11.3 and later versions
    • turn off hardware acceleration in the Flash plugin
  • Videos YouTube won't play.

    I have Firefox 18. I have the last Flash from Adobe installed (after you do a complete uninstall and reinstall). I cleared the cache, cookies, etc.

    No matter what I try, videos YouTube won't play in Firefox. I always get the same message:

    "An error has occurred. Please try again later. »

    If I copy exactly the same link in Explorer (which, normally, I hate using) it plays perfectly. So clearly the fault lies with Firefox.

    What can be done to fix this bug?

    The reset Firefox feature can solve a lot of problems in restaurant Firefox to its factory default condition while saving your vital information.
    Note: This will make you lose all the Extensions, open Web sites and preferences.

    To reset Firefox, perform the following steps:

    1. Go to Firefox > help > troubleshooting information.
    2. Click on the button 'Reset Firefox'.
    3. Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is finished, it will display a window with the imported information. Click Finish.
    4. Firefox opens with all the default settings applied.

    Information can be found in the article Firefox Refresh - reset the settings and Add-ons .

  • Firefox 16.0.1, videos youtube freeze after 2 seconds. FF injuries.

    Videos YouTube freeze after that 2 seconds... audio game continues for 5 seconds on it. The whole browser stops responding and I have to ctrl + alt + delete at the process level to close FF16.

    After that I uninstalled my customized version, so BONE STOCK FF16 is miss you, this is a new installation. I tried the current version flash 11.4 and 11.2 flash version to get my problem is solved.

    NO ID CRASH. No formal don't crash in itself, just a browser totally unresponsive.

    By the way... Chrome works youtube without incident. WTF.

    In addition, this problem does not exist on my installation of Waterfox... a variant of 64 free bits of 15 FF. Maybe I have a sort of x 64 issue. I think that maybe that's the problem with the standard 32-bit version of FF16. Ask me again why this happened in the first place.

    I run McAfee OAS Business Class A / V, never had a virus or something in 4 years.

    SOLVED. Watefox is the only way it seems. Needs of Firefox to fix this flash on its own it seems.
