Embedded youtube videos not showing up

Hi everyone,


This has been a problem that I can't solve for ages now. Looked everywhere around the web and no one seems to have this problem.


Youtube vidoes are working fine when I'm actually on youtube but if its embedded on another website (facebook, forums etc.) it won't load. On forums, the space where the video is embedded is just blank while on facebook when I click play, there is just a white screen. Please help.


I've re-installed my flash player multiple times.

I've disabled all plug-ins and still won't work.

I've taken out my com.apple.safari plist onto my desktop and loaded my safari again.. still doesn't work...


My plugin list from safari:

- DivX Plus Web Player

- DivX VOD Helper Plug-in

- Facebook Video Calling

- GameTree Download Manager

- Glims

- Google earth plugin

- Java Applet plug-in

- Quicktime plug in 7.7.1

- sharepoint browser plug in

- shockwave flash

- silverlight plug-in

- webkit buit-in PDF


One bizzare thing...


Embedded youtube vidoes will load if I log-in as a guest user or as another user on my mac.


Running Mac 10.7.4

Safari 5.1.7.


Late 2011 model Macbook pro.

iOS 5

solved it by re-installing all safari extensions. problem was my Google disconnect plug in.

HOW is this done - I have exact problem.


How does this get messed up. ALL VIDEO"S PLAY FINE at YouTube.


There are some Safari issues lately - and crashes for no real reason -


A simple Google Search can end up a crash - immediately.


I submitted bug report to Adobe - but doubt we'll see a solved step from them.

This incident has been an issue for a few months now.

There is no WACOM plugin present - as was stated in one help file .

In System Prefrences - Flash Player


Advance Tab - Option to Delete All -

just how dangerous is this?




Playback TAB - Block all is set -

There is no Peer sharing period on this computer - unless connected to my other MacPro for file sharing.

But they don't make this clear.


Click Learn more link - always lists old Windows Issues from Windows XP - total Joke of a help link.


Storage TAB - Is set to Block All Sites.


My Camera on MBP works fine using Skype.
