hi
i have a problem in youtube where i can't play any film there its giving me :

Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Macromedia's Flash Player. Click here to get the latest flash player.

while i have the latest flash player and i never turned off my javascript or know how to check it or solve it...
anyone can help?

To make sure Javascript is turned on, in Internet Explorer, go to:
Tools -> Internet Options -> Security Tab -> Click on Custom Level -> Scroll down to Scripting (near the bottom) and click Enable for Active Scripting.
Then OK, and OK again.

If Javascript is turned on and it still doesn't work, then make sure you definately have the lastest version of flash player

For Firefox, it's:
Tools > Options > Content > Enable JavaScript (Windows)
Edit > Preferences > Content > Enable JavaScript (*nix)


Don't ask me why it's different on *nix, it just is.

I am having this same problem!

I have tried unintalling then reinstalling Flash, Enabling javascript (even though it was already enabled) and then tried clearing the temporary files ... everything it says in the Youtube help section.

I now have no idea what to do ... anymore suggestions?

Thanks

I would try it on a different browser like firefox or something if it still doesn't work post again.

just tried it with FireFox and i am still getting the message

1. Try this website http://www.softwarepatch.com/ and then search for flash player

2. Download and install this file.

This new .msi file will solve you the problem in most cases I should add. See if that works.

yep thats got it!

Thanks so much for your help

anyone have any other suggestions i'm having the exact same problem as of yesterday it stopped working for no reason 2 days ago i'm sure it worked i watched some old music videos before i went to bed, came home from class yesterday and for some reason nothing works for me any longer i tried all the suggestions in this thread so far nothing has worked for me

I'm also having the same problem, I don't understand why because Youtube was working fine for me until a day or so ago, never had any problems before in the many months I have used it for, but when I tried to use it on Tuesday I kept getting the 'Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player' message, even though I hadn't made any changes to my computer since the previous time I had used Youtube. I have tried everything since Tuesday to try and fix it: uninstalling and then reinstalling the new Flash player, making sure Java script is enabled, clearing cache and cookies, downloading the msi file that was recommended, even tried using Firefox as a browser instead of IE but still got the same message when I got to the Youtube site. I can't figure out how to fix the problem, does anyone have any further suggestions? I would really appreciate any advice.

Hi all. Having the same problem since yesterday too. Anybody know what's going on? Is it a problem with youtube's servers? It all seems to have happened at the same time. Anyone else have any ideas on how to fix it? None of the options so far has worked.

Same problem!

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM!!!
    NO VIDEOS WILL WORK
       IVE TRIED INSTALLING FLASH AGAIN AND I TRIED INSTALLING JAVA AGIAN IT DOES NOT WORK!!!
   IVE TRIED USING THAT LINK ABOVE BUT TI STILL DOESN'T WORK WHAT SHOULD I DOOO!!!???!?!?

Im having the same problem today. I managed to get it working again by re-instaling java.. but it didnt do much good because now the videos just dont load.. at all lol. I can play about 2 seconds then nothing.

update: i CAn watch videos on youtube, BUTTTTTTT i only can wathc the old ones..
major problem..
please help... its been like this for about a week now..
plz reply..

Youtube does not use Java (which is different to Javascript).

Maybe if lots of people are having the SAME problem at the SAME time, Youtube is having problems? I'm sure they are working to fix it.

Actually, i can watch SOME videos, for some reason half of the videos on youtube, i CANNOT watch... for some weird reason.
But i CAn watch some videos...
O.o
strange... well the video i cant watch, i CAN watch it if they post it in their channel or on another website..

I know my post is months later than all the others but im just having this problem.
Youtube used to be working fine and suddenly it said "Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest flash player."

Ive tried the suggestions on the forum alredy but none of them worked. Has anyone figured a way to fix this yet? Pls give any advice im desperate.

it is just starting to happen to my friends now.. it is sad really..
theres no cure...

Ive read some places that turning off google accelerator works...but i dont hav google accelerator..so cant work for me..

Thats the only thing people said that worked...that ive found.

hey...2day when i tried youtube. it worked again. i hav no idea why. im happy tho XD

OK, I have a pretty bad problem. first of all youtube is not working and it is NOT coming up with the message saying to get a new flash player or anything.Its just blank.Google images is not working either and neither is hotmail. when i go to the sign in page the whole thing is blank! What the hell is going on. Can anyone help me PLEASE!

can someone please please help! when i try and play a video on you tube it comes up with the message: hello you either have javascript turned off or you need to get the latest flash player etc
i have downloaded the latest flash player and my java script is definatley not turned off... i have checked that it isnt over and over again
someone help pleeeeeeeeasee! many thanks

I have had exactly the same problem for ages and i have just solved it! If you go onto the flash installation and then it says ' if the flash player fails to install then please visit the adobe website to help troubleshoot the problem' you then have to click on the link and then one of the options tells you to make sure you have unintalled previous flash players, so you then click on this link, uninstall previous flash players, and then download the flash player again... and bammm it worked for me and now my youtube is working.. i hope it works for you
xxx

Me too!!! what's going on?????

I have the same problem. Last night youtube worked fine and since then I have not changed anything on my system. I have the lastest flash player and JavaScript is switched but this morning I cannot watch any YouTube vids. Other vid sites work fine. I suspect YouTube has changed something. The YouTube HELP service is SH*T thus there is no one you can contact the explain the situation.

If my system has not changed then IT must be YouTube that is a fault.

i HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH YOUTUBE........ I AM RUNNING FIREFOX AND THE WAY I SOLVED THE PROBLEM WAS TO:

-UNINSTAL FLASH PLAYER
-DOWNLOAD IT AGAIN BUT THEN IF ITS DOWNLOADED DOUBLE-CLICK ON IT AND INSTALL IT ( BTW ITS SAFE---iF YOU DOWNLOADED FLASH PLAYER FROM THEIR OWN SITE
-THEN CLOSE FIREFOX AND OPEN IT

IT SHOULD WORK FINE KNOW...... AT LEAST IT DID FOR ME


PLEASE SEND AN EMAIL IF IT WORKED OR IF IT DIDNT.....( OR POST COMMENT)

Same problem here guys. This seems like a epidemic bc youtube is awsome. The problem cant be my connection bc i have a another PC doing fine on the site. I tired all solutions and got nothing i mean i can watch cartoons, flash videos, porn, play flash games, etc but not youtube

I have tried different browser: IE7, Mozilla Firefox 3 as well as Safari. Similar problem occurs. "We're sorry, this video is no longer available". similar problem with my laptop.

Hi ! I've got youtube problem, and I dont know how to fix it.
I've read some posts (problems in youtube), and some of them worked \ solved. So I'm hoping you could help me with my problem.
So here it is :

Other video sites worked. But youtube doesn't. Even if I use firefox or  internet explorer or Google chrome still nothing happened.

When I play it (youtube), there's a sound \ audio but the vid. doesn't play. There's only white in there.

I hope you guys can help me. Thanks

I have the same problem too and haven't really fixed it. I have watched a video yesterday but now, I can't... Something is really wrong.
