Cannot log-in to YouTube (iPhone 4 + iPad)

Question

Cannot log-in to YouTube (iPhone 4 + iPad)

I own an iPad and iPhone 4 and on both devices, I get the message "Youtube not available." when I try to log-in with my YouTube account in the native YouTube app. I can play videos perfectly, but just cannot log-in to access my favorites and other info.

I have tried changing my password and logging in with a different account but the result is the same. I am not entering the wrong ID and password as I can log-in perfectly fine in the Safari browser in both devices and on my Mac.

Please help! Thanks.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

I am having the same issue. Actually thought it was me (I just brought home a new phone 4g and wasn't sure I synced right) so I placed my phone in "factory reset mode" because I couldn't find any one else with the same issue until now. I'm betting there is an issue and I reset for nothing. :/ It's taking forever to reset so I wanted to let you know you arnt the only one so don't take drastic measures. LOL

Same issue here. Started noticing it last night. It's constantly asking me to sign in whenever I try to access account based stuff in the more tab, or the my videos tab. While it will let me see my videos after I click through the youtube not available popup, I can't access my subscriptions.

Some kind of problem with the app to youtube service interface.

FWIW I made a youtube app using safari and it works fine. Actually works a bit better generally, so I'll just use that until this gets sorted out.

Yup! since this is a global problem (100s of people posting all over the web from all over the world), I guess we'll have to wait for a fix.

I've had the same issue since the latest Apple update. I can't sign in to Youtube using iPad's built-in Youtube program. I checked and I signed in ok on Youtube using safari on the iPad, so it must be a glitch in the iPad's built-in Youtube program.

I'm having the same problem. And The YouTube app was working great up until now.. I think because we're all getting it now, it's probably some Google server bs or sabotage or something.
