FYI: YOU TUBE video/audio issues affecting 1000's of users...
« on: February 27, 2011, 07:35:28 PM »
Anyone having issues viewing You Tube videos on the YouTube website?

Mainly --->NO video, NO sound, NO control panel bar, just a BLACK BOX.
If video is posted on a site like SBG or other site, the video / audio works as normal. The issue ONLY seems to come into play on the YT website itself.

At first I thought my son possibly did something when he borrowed my Mac , but when I GOOGLED the problem, (see link below) it seems many others are having the same video viewing / audio problems.

Problem seems to be associated MORE with Mac / Safari than Windows, but some Window 7 users are being affected as well.

Seems it had to do something with the latest automatic IDVD / ITUNE updates from Apple.

MAC YouTube SOLUTION LISTED BELOW:
(May possibly work for Window 7 users also)

...Follow these steps and it should fix most or all the problems...

1. Close Safari (after reading instructions)
2. Open Finder
3. Open Applications
4. Right click on Safari
5. Click on "Get Info"
6. Box appears and click on "open in 32-bit mode"
7. Close box and reopen safari
8  YouTube videos should work fine!!
