Youtube Not Working in iPad

I would STOP using that nearly 3-year old Safari web browser, as it is, probably, not safe and secure to use any longer, and seek out a third party web browser that is STILL currently being updated and STILL being supported on iOS 9.3.5.

Try a different, third party Web browser, instead.

Here are a few third party web browsers that I know are STILL being updated and supported on iOS 9.

Available and more popular third party Web browser choices are dwindling faster, now.

There are still a handful of iOS 9 and earlier supported third party Web browsers.

Most of these have had recent updates, too!

Here’s what’s left.

iCab Mobile Web browser

Aloha Web browser

ALook Web browwer

Dolphin Web browser

DuckDuckGo Private Web browser

Snow Bunny Web browser

Maxthon Web browser

Private Browsing Web browser by Savvy Soda

Private Browser Deluxe

TOR browser anonymous

Turbo VPN browser

TOR + VPN web browser private

Choose a Web browser from this list that has had the most recent of an update.

Good Luck to You!

Okay,

So, you have an iPad 2nd generation.

I would try another, updated third party Web browser from my list to see if another Web browser can still access the YouTube Website.

I stopped using Apple's iOS Safari on any iPad many years, ago and prefer other third party Web browsers, instead.

For your iOS App Store issues, It is like I already stated in my earlier post reply to you.

I am afraid that many third party app developers are no longer supporting 7, 8 and 9-year old iPads with 3-year old and earlier iOS app versions, any longer.

You are NOT going to find any more older versions of apps for initial download/install, any longer, from Apple's iOS App Store app!

The internal internal hardware, in these old iPad models, is too old, underpowered and completely incompatible with any of the current and future versions of iOS/iPadOS.

Sorry. It is what it is at this very late date, now here in the year 2020.

Sorry & Best of Luck to You!

YouTube will newer iOS to install and run, your older iOS device is too older. Have to upgrade to work.

What iPad model are you using?

You mention an iPad 2 and iPad Mini.

I have an iPad 2 on iOS 9.3.5 and both the YouTube Website and last version of the YouTube app for iOS 9 and earlier both work.

Are you sure that you have an iPad 2 ( that iPad has a front and back camera) or the much older 2010, iPad 1 which has NO cameras, at all?

Hello,

It is up to YouTube whether they want to support or not support a specific device.

All third party app developers decides what iOS versions their apps will still support.

If older versions of apps, like the YouTube app, have either stopped functioning or have limited functionality now, then this is the way it is.

Do you really expect a 12-year old iPod Touch to be still have all very old apps to still be working and supported by third party app developers?

Also, you need to understand that these old iPad 2, 3, 4 and 1st gen iPad Mini models are nearing 8 and 9-years old, now.

As of the beginning of 2019, many, MANY third party app developers are all more quickly and completely permanently dropping older app support for all old 7, 8 and 9-year iPads that are running 2-3 year old and earlier iOS versions ( iOS 10 and earlier ).

Third party app developers are removing all of their older, legacy versions of their apps from Apple's App Store servers, now.

Third party app developers no longer want to support these 8 and 9-year old or older iOS devices, any longer!

Older versions of apps are, soon, going to be gone for good, now!

Getting older versions of apps for these old iPad models, initially from Apple’s iOS App Store is getting very difficult and very problematic and this issue is getting, painfully, much worse in 2020, now!

These old iPads are now reaching their complete end of life and support.

So finding older versions apps for older iPads, while still possible, currently, will be a tough challenge, now, in 2020.

Old iPads that can no longer be upgraded/updated will have NO MORE APPS AVAILABLE for initial download, at all, soon, from the Apple iOS App Store, for such old iOS devices in the very near future.

Older versions of apps for these older iPads will be completely gone, at some point, in the very foreseeable future.

Whatever apps you still have on these devices, many will still continue to work as they always have.

Those apps that solely rely on a regular, constant, wireless connection, to the Internet, for complete functionality, may stop functioning at some time in the future.

Again, it is what it is, today, in the year 2020!

So, this is really now the time to seriously consider a new or discounted, refurbished iPad from Apple or other Apple authorised resellers.

A lot has happened with iPad and iOS in 7-9 years, OR MORE and in the past 2 to 3-1/2 years since iOS 9 and 10 and much earlier iOS versions.

As an example and compared to your older iPads,

The baseline 2019, 10.2 inch screen 7th gen iPads have a 1/2 inch larger retina screen, newer, more powerful and nearly 2-1/2 times faster 2.3 Ghz, A10 Fusion processors, AT LEAST, 3-4 times the internal RAM, with the 2019, 7th gen iPad having 3 GBs of internal RAM, iPadOS 13 support, with much better and improved multitasking features, Apple Pencil and Apple Smart keyboard cover support and have better audio speakers and better/improved built-in cameras.

The newest 2017 iPod Touch is much more advanced, then your now, 12-years old iPod Touch you currently own, to the point of the 2017 iPod Touches being much more like an iPhone, now, without the phone part.

Once, again it is what it is.

Time to seriously upgrade all of your Apple mobile devices.

Sorry & Best of Luck to You!

If you’re unwilling, or cannot afford to buy brand new iPad, you should go get cheaper Android, or Windows based tablets to view YouTube, or other videos. There are no Apple employees on this forum, only users of Apple products, and nothing to do with sales.
