Won't Play videos on youtube

Hey all,
My Safari won't play youtube videos, yet if I open the same link in google chrome, it plays fine. I've restarted, uninstalled/reinstalled safari, and it hasn't helped. I though maybe it has something to do with disabling java, but all the options are still checked. I never changed anything, so I'm a little confused as so why this is happening. Any info you have would be great.

I have having the exact same problem. Videos play fine on my iMac, but when I try to open them up on my Macbook it's just a black window with no play controls. I haven't changed any settings and just boom, one day it stopped working. I tried updating to the newest version of flash but that didn't do it....Hopefully someone will have an idea as to what is wrong

I had the same problem too. Youtube videos wouldn't play on Safari, but would play on Chrome or Firefox. But my iPad could play Youtube using Safari.?
Also, I couldn't see my Capital One Canadian account anymore on all my 3 browsers. But my iPad could open it.?

I thought that my iMac had caught a virus.

Suddenly, I remembered that I had recently connected my iMac directly to my Router via the cable... before I was using the WIFI without the direct connection.

Then, I realized that my iPad goes via WIFI, not through the direct cable.

I unplugged the cable between my iMac and my router, and ALL MY PROBLEMS WERE SOLVED.

Is it because I'm a Canadian holiday in the US?

I hope this can help some of you.
