reset all settings: settings/general/reset/reset all settings


back up and restore that david mentioned is the next step if the reset all settings doesnt work:


plug device into updated itunes on pc, go to the phone's summary page in the itunes, click back up now, after thats done click restore iphone.

I reset all settings and now videos from USAToday play, but YouTube videos do not play. Although I have backed up, I am not ready to do a restore because I am not sure what all that involves getting my iPad back to it's current state. Thanks for the help on the reset settings though!

when u do a restore it deletes off everything on the device, including software. then it reinstalls the software from a new download package. this will ensure ur device isnt getting the same glitch in its system that ur current software has if that is the issue. when u restore from the backup u made AFTER uve done the 'restore ipad' that will put all of ur stuff back onto the ipad. i would suggest deleting off the youtube app b4 doing the back up and then readding it after the restore and restore from back up phases. if all of that doesnt work, youtube is the one with the problem and u should contact them.
