You Tube will not work
June 8, 2008 | processing please hold

Posted on 06/08/2008 12:44:16 PM PDT by processing please hold

I have uninstalled adobe(I think I made a mistake there) and reinstalled it. I had to go to system restore to bring it back. I have uninstalled my flash player and reinstalled it, but I think I did it in the wrong order My java script looks ok, but what do I know, huh.

I went to the help center on you tube but I was confused even more, hence all my mistakes I pointed out. It has gone from bad to worse.

When I try to play a you tube link, I keep getting, 'we're sorry, but the video is no longer available'. Now, I know that's not true because it works just fine for the FReepers who post the links.

Please help, I'm missing out on some I'm sure are great political videos.

Do you have an example of a link that doesn’t work?

If it says that, the video was pulled. Is that for ANY video, or a specific one?

I have the same problem and when I hit refresh, it works.

On about 90% of my youtube links, I the ‘this video is no longer available” and then I hit refresh,it plays. Don’t ask me why, but it does.

I have had this before and I had to go to adobe and download the uninstaller for flash and reinstall. You can't just uninstall it to work you must have the uninstaller.

No it wasn't pulled. I responded to the FReeper who posted the link, they checked it out, and it still worked. The problem is on my end.

I went to you tube last night without using FR links. I tried to play Metallica's - One, video and got the same response. The video was unavailable.

Once you have downloaded the installer, close all browser windows, download tabs, etc, before installing. Drove me nuts until I did that, then it worked.
