Connecting to Youtube
Hi folks, On my MacBook pro whenever I try to connect to youtube it tries to open but the blue bar in the address window gets about 1/10 of the way across and just stays there. Any help would be appreciated .

Hi dialabrian, Thank you for your reply, up until a week or so ago I too had no problems. I tried what you said and shut down Safari then held Shift key and clicked on Safari opened my hotmail account and clicked on an e-mail to do with youtube and it opened up no problem ,so thank you for that. Now I'm just wondering why this would happen.
Thank you again

Right I have been thinking about this ,I have another problem you see for a while on Facebook and some other sites a message appears now and then (between the address bar and the web page ) telling me that the page is using a significant amount of memory and I should close the page down .Could I download Safari and install a new copy ? What are your thoughts.
Thanks again for your useful information.
Bill
You're welcome. As far as your first question, Safari is actually part of macOS so you would have to reinstall macOS to get a new copy of Safari. As far as the memory message, I haven't seen that message in many years. My guess is it's caused by having too many tabs open or surfing for a long time. I really don't know.
How much RAM do you have and when it occurs do you have other apps running?
Hmmm. I have no problem connecting to YouTube with Safari or playing videos. You could try holding the shift key when launching Safari and see if that works.
If you mean in Safari try a different browser and see if you have the same issue.
Yes I have tried Opera and found no problems at all so the problem lies with Safari. Would you have any idea what I can do to sort it out. Thanks for your help so far

You're welcome. If Safari is now working without holding the shift key I expect it just had a temporary glitch. Hard to say what or why.
8Gb ram and maybe three Apps max. But as I say it seems to be working alright now.
