FYI: YOU TUBE video/audio issues affecting 1000's of users... by Noodles on 27 Feb, 2011 19:35

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.
