Why isnt youtube working for me?

Question

Why isnt youtube working for me?

Answer 1

delete your cookies it should be fixed

Answer 2

1) Delete your cookies (or eat them)

2) Change browser (Personally using Google Chrome, best browser I've tried so far)

Answer 3

That's interesting. The error message shows that it's merged several cookies together, which, of course, the server doesn't understand. If it's repeating later, after deleting cookies, then it does lead to a glitch in how FireFox is handling them. Especially since you're not seeing it in other browsers. I wonder if they're aware of it.



Hope it helps you.

Answer 4

i have a yt and it has been messing up sum here lately... have you tried watching other vids???? or is it all of them?

Answer 5

YOU GOT THE DREADED "BAD REQUEST".



If "your browser sent a request that this server could not understand"

plus "Size of request header field exceeds server limit", that request

is a bad or oversized cookie. (The same thing is true for "Error 400").



For some very strange reason, it seems that

most Bad Request messages involve Firefox.



Simply delete your "Cookies" and everything

will be okay. Don't worry about erasing them;

nothing bad will happen. You won't lose your

internet browser's "Bookmarks" or "Favorites".

The worst thing that could happen is you will

be asked to retype your username/password

when you return to YouTube and some other

websites -- that's all.



Just as important, you should also delete all

your "Temporary Internet Files" and "History".

Those steps will make your computer totally

"fresh" in YouTube's eyes and make loading

and buffering faster. It would also be better if

you shutdown and reboot after doing this:



Internet Explorer 6:

→ Tools → Internet Options

→ Delete Cookies → OK

→ Delete Files → OK

→ Clear History → Yes

→ OK



Internet Explorer 7:

→ Tools → Internet Options → Delete...

→ Delete files → Yes

→ Delete cookies → OK

→ Delete history → OK

→ Close (browsing history window)

→ OK

[x] Saved Form and Search History

[x] Cache

Apple Safari 3:

→ Edit → Preferences

→ Security (tab) → Show Cookies

→ Remove All → Done

after that:

→ Safari → Empty Cache → Empty

after that:

→ History → Clear History



Google Chrome:

→ Tools (wrench) → Clear browsing data...

[x] Clear browsing history

[x] Clear download history

[x] Empty the cache

[x] Delete cookies

Clear data from this period: → Everything

→ Clear Browsing Data



DON'T FORGET TO SHUTDOWN AND REBOOT

AFTER DOING ONE OF THE ABOVE.
