Youtube help!! No longer available?

Question

I got this new laptop & every time i go to youtube 95% of the Videos says sorry this video is no longer available...& the videos aren't deleted or anything but they don't appear...anyone know why?

Answer 1

The famous message "WE'RE SORRY THIS VIDEO IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE"

is typically the result of software which stupidly claims that

they can actually "accelerate" video buffering. This includes

crappy things such as GWA, SpeedBit, Trident, Jaton, ATI,

Diamond Fire and Easy Video Accelerator.



Of course nothing "accelerates" streaming video files. Even

the people at YouTube, Google and Macromedia know this,

and write that in their own FAQs. Thus if you have any kind

of "accelerator"...then dump it, burn it, kick it, rip it, trash it,

uninstall it; do everything you can to get as far away from it

as possible.



If you do not have one of those moronic utilities, something

on your computer is interfering with YouTube. Thus, please

consider any of these possibilities:



Not much in terms of playing YouTube vids has changed in

the past 2 years. If anything, all the newer flash players are

causing lots of YouTubers some kind of grief, especially all

5 variations of version 10. It's crazy that there is a 10.0.525,

10.1.218, 10.2.26, 10.2.54 and 10.12.36. For the most part,

updates are typically good for one thing: computer/software

problems. I have never strayed away from 9.47, and a lot of

"flashers" swear by 9.45. Think of those 2 like Windows XP

compared to Vista. Take a look at the "Asker's" comments

to this other "Best Answer" of mine:

You may also wish to consider these alternate possibilities:



→ Tools → Internet Options → Connections (tab)

→ LAN Settings (which is the very last button)

→ uncheck "Automatically detect settings"



→ Tools → Internet Options → Advanced (tab)

→ scroll down until you reach "Multimedia"

→ check-mark all but "Show image download placeholders"



Two people have written to me saying after they got rid of a

certain software, things seemed to work all right afterwards:

One person got rid of his "nVidia" drivers; the other trashed

his "ad blocking" utility. Do you perhaps have either or both

of these on your computer?



I've saved my favorite other solution for the end. YouTube is

at its best when you clear all your "Cookies", "History" and

"Temporary Internet Files". My cool "CHTIF" triple-cure has

resolved hundreds of people's problems, so why not yours?

Close out YouTube, do the following, then shutdown/reboot:



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



Mozilla Firefox

→ Tools → Clear Private Data

[x] Browsing History

[x] Download History

[x] Saved Form and Search History

[x] Cache

[x] Cookies

→ Clear Private Data Now



I hope my multiple answer is helpful for you. If you are able

to determine the "cause" and its "cure", I would appreciate

it if you could please let me know, either by clicking on my

avatar or emailing me at "[e-mail]".



Note 1: YouTube vids only require "Flash" and "Shockwave"

in order to play smooth. Other than that, avoid all the sales

pitches that some Yahooers may be shilling, because they

are really disguised salespeople & peddlers. Their answers

have nothing to do with your question, and their wares may

actually worsen your problem. Besides, what kind of idiotic

answer is: "Despite the fact that you can't watch or access

videos at all, buy our downloader." [my paraphrase]



IMPORTANT: ANOTHER POSSIBLE CAUSE IS FIREFOX 3 AND ITS

INTERACTION WITH YOUTUBE'S (GOOGLE'S) "CACHE" SERVERS

THAT REFUSE THE PLUG-IN'S REQUEST FOR VIDEO FILES. THIS

RETURNS A FALSE ERROR CODE TO YOUTUBE SAYING THAT IT

CAN'T FIND THE VIDEO, OR THAT THE REQUEST DOESN'T MAKE

SENSE.



OF COURSE, THE VIDEOS ARE REALLY THERE, BUT FOR SOME

STRANGE REASON, YOUTUBE RETRANSMITS THE ERRONEOUS

CODE TO A "THIS VIDEO IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE" MESSAGE.

WHAT'S THE SOLUTION? NOBODY KNOWS, BUT IT IS A FIREFOX

AND YOUTUBE ISSUE. IF YOU'RE USING FIREFOX 3, YOU MIGHT

WANT TO TRY A DIFFERENT BROWSER.

Answer 2

There are a couple of reasons that this could be happening.



1) The videos have been removed from YouTube, thousands of videos are removed daily, especially lately, now that copyright laws are coming into play and companies are claiming things that are on the site saying that it cannot be used without paying royalties. Generally, when you see the message that a video is no longer available, it's because the video is no longer available on the site, has been removed by YouTube, or has been removed by the user.



If you are able to confirm that the videos still are on the site by looking at them on another computer, at the same links, and the links work, then I suggest that you install the newest version of Java on your computer, and make sure that you set up your Internet Options as follows. Tools, Internet Options, Advanced, then under Java make sure that it is turned on (there is a check mark there). If Java is not listed, then you need to download Java on your laptop (it may not have come pre-installed and usually does not come pre-installed).



Good luck to you!

Answer 3

you're clever to be careful. even nevertheless, on the exterior, a GED seems corresponding to a real severe college degree, fairly, they're completely different. pupils consistently say that they elect to drop out, get a GED and then bypass to varsity. And faculties say that they "settle for" a GED. yet right this is the little catch. The GED is "nicely-known" for admission purely alongside with severe ACT and SAT rankings, some thing a dropout is extremely not likely ever to realize. approximately 38 p.c. of scholars who earn a GED subscribe to college. yet of people who join, purely approximately 12 p.c. truthfully graduate. it fairly is a dark proportion and works very lots against you. Why is the huge form so low? common. with a view to graduate from college you like perseverance, dedication, and resolution, all characteristics which "chucking up the sponge" instruct that a individual only does not have. yet another 3 hundred and sixty 5 days of highschool heavily isn't the exhilaration of your existence, and each physique is prevalent with it. yet except you are able to shop on with it long adequate to graduate, you likely have not got what it is going to take to make it in college the two, so which you would be able to write off Cal State or the different useful college. Sorry, yet you incredibly need to pay attention the very fact earlier you start up making judgements which will harm all your destiny possibilities.

Answer 4

sometimes they are still there but you have to refresh the screen to see it..



or...



Turn off web accelerator, if you have one - it may be conflicting with youtube.



or..



It could be due to slow connection or high traffic.

Try watching it during off peak hours, the video will be smoother.



Or you could watch it offline smoothly... try using 'zillatube' .



It works well - Just google search "zillatube" to get it.

Check to see if you have java script enabled on your browser. It could have been switched off.
