I'm sorry, but I forgot to list that I was from the U.S.A., Texas; lastnight.


I also got of the phone with my buddy up in Canada, Vancouver B.C.; and his is hosed up too.


We all know that it's a YouTube issue, but who do we report this to at YouTube???? And secondlly isn't there someone at Apple that is a liaison to YouTube/Google? Come on Apple, help us out here. PLEASE!!!

Wow, when i started this thread I thought problem was with my Apple TV device, and I would be lucky to get 3-4 relevant responses. problem is obviously widespread. I understand that Apple claims problem is with YouTube. However, I did not buy a You Tube product, I bought Apple TV with promised functionality to connect to You Tube and other content providers. I intend to continue to pressure Apple (as much as one person can) to help resolve this problem-they can not just kick it over the fence to You Tube-

As I have reported in another post, I am having the same issue since yesterday. It started with not being able to see content in my subscriptions and others such as favorites. Today all choices failed. I followed some older recommendations but none helped. I opted for a full restore and the same issue is still there.

Just as an after thought, I w won't be surprised if there is an Apple TV update and You Tube disappears from the menu of options. IOS vs. Android and google TV don't you know. google has to start making more money after the disappointing results today. Also, I would say that google and Apple both have a reputation in my view of abandoning products and services as their whim.

I am here in Cincinnati OH and I have the same problem. It started last night i cannot connect to YouTube. I've had the ATV2 for about 1 year now and was able to do everything with YouTube until last night. I called support but all i get is an automated responses asking me if i have an applecare contract which i don't. I wonder if the tech people at apple knows about this and if not how do let them know.
