youtube app not working on 2nd gen ipod touch

Videos that I had bookmarked haven't been working for about a month. I have not updated to the iPHone OS 3. When I click on a previously working video it displays an error "This movie could not be played" with an OK button

Anyone have suggestions?

I tried rebooting the ipod of course, but this doesn't make too much sense since the videos used to work.

MBP 13 2.53gHZ/4mb RAM, PB G4 12, 1gHZ/768 mb RAM, OS X.3.9, Mac OS X (10.5.7), Touch 2 gen, Shuffle 1 gen, Nano 2 gen, PM7300/200 416 mb RAM OS 8.6/8.5/7.5.5

Well, It looks I'm having the issue on my iPod touch but not in the second generation that you have instead on my new recent iPod thrid gen( which has the 3.1.1 0s) Which it seems that it could never connect to YouTube even though I'm connected to the Internet. It always shows me:" cannot to YouTube". It seems that I might have to change my iPod for a new since I still in luck since 20 more to return it or exchange for a newer one. If anyone has any suggestions in how to fix this minor issue please help us.

A full restore is probably not going to solve your ongoing WiFi issues - which are causing your YouTube problems. Best bet is to do two things with your router:
1. Pull the plug, wait a minute or two, plug it back in. (power cycling)
2. If that works, you are done. If not, go to the router manufacturer's website and download and install the latest firmware for your router.

If you are still having problems, reset your iPod network settings - tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. When your iPod restarts, log back into your network by this route:
1. Tap Settings > WiFi > Other
2. Enter your network name
3. Enter your security mode
4. Enter your password

You should be all set. However, if you continue to have WiFi problems, please post a new question, with details about your network setup and router, to one of the other touch discussion groups.
