YouTube Not Available

I'm trying to sign in the YouTube app on my iPhone 4 and it keeps giving me this error. Anyone else having this problem and can it be fixed?

24" Aluminum iMac 2.93GHz, Mac OS X (10.6.4), 4GB RAM

I'm having the same problem too...

It started 2 days ago.

I have done a hard reset on the phone (home + power until the phone stops), upgraded firmware, done a restore of the phone, and tested YouTube using Safari.

Safari allows me to login with no problems (on both the iPhone and my Mac)... but the YouTube application from Apple doesn't.

I'm running 4.0.2

You're not alone Steve!

I am having same problem. It started when I used Google for YouTube. And I only did that because it was a way to share liked videos on my Facebook page. I prefer to go back to Apple's YouTube app. So, I went into my account settings for Google YouTube and there is an option to link or unlink Google and your YouTube account. Mine was linked. I unlinked. I went through all the iPhone restarts and am still having the problem.

I was having a different problem with youtube where it was asking me to log in and then when I entered the user name and password it would redirect me to the youtube web site to log in.

I solved the problem by displaying the running app bar (double click the home button) and then deleting the youtube app.

Not sure if this will help but you may want to try deleting from the running app bar all apps that have anything to do with youtube.

I called AppleCare on this one. Issue resolved. No concrete explanation as to cause. My problem existed today when I was on 3G with no access to Wi-Fi. There was a spot during my travels where 3G coverage died out. At home, where I had Wi-Fi, AppleCare tech asked me to switch over to Wi-Fi. When I logged in, I got in, but it was a little sluggish. I did a power down (pushing top button down until you get the red slider, then sliding it over to shut down). Problem is gone.
