Hey guys simple fix actually....
I take it you guys also discovered that you can also not look up things on iTunes.
How to fix:
1) Just turn your device off and then back on again helps reset the plist that may have gotten jumbled at some point.
**if the above doesn't work try method 2**
2) Do a hard reset
— Press sleep/wake button and the home button at the same time for about 15 seconds or until you see the apple logo
— Once the Apple logo appears release both buttons!
.... if niether of these solutions worked for you make sure that:
— You have the latest iOS (5.1.1)
— Your wifi connection is strong or have good coverage.
— Lastly just make sure you have your wifi and 3g turned on haha
Hope this helped!
Thank you for the help! Spet hours looking for a solution online until finding this post. Worked right after the power off and power on steps

It worked for me too, thanks! I tought i'd have to restore :S But now i know i don't 😀
thank u
i was thinking to restart since the begingin but was thinking no it was to easy lol now i just wasted 2 hours.
Didn't work for me.
I've restated my iPad numerous times. Reset just about as many times. Cleared the cache and made sure nothing was running in background. I have the latest OS and I am still unable to watch YouTube videos! Anyone have a fix yet?
I did all the steps that you said but nothings change, the issue still exist.
Please I need your assistante ASAP because I'm uncomfortable for it.

My issue was the wireless network I was conecting through had restrictions in place that wouldn't allow videos to be played.
The restarts / reboots all failed. I actually have a redirection blocking script at my router that will halt redirection processes. And it works very well, with everything but the iPad 2 YouTube app. If I access YouTube through Chrome, Safari or iCab Mobile, YouTube works fine. If I disable the script, iOS YouTube app works fine, as does everything else. If I re-enable script everything works fine except iOS YouTube app. My guess is that the iOS app has been updated to a point that it stops functioning if certain ad blocking measures are implemented on you LAN, at the router/firewall level. For now I'm just going to do without iOS's YouTube app and use other alternatives. My ad blocking works too well to subvert it.
Running iOS 5.1.1 / iPad 2 / NOT Jail Broke
YouTube app: the operation could not be completed
