Yosemite 10.10.1 causing Safari not to play YouTube videos...

Same issue here! Please fix.

Same issue.. try to reload few time, may work.. however, the issue still remains..

True that! See ya' Safari; hello CHROME!!!!

Same issue here, hope Safari can solve this with a new update for it. Will like to continue use Safari again.

Same issue for me however embed Youtube clips on other sites seem to work fine at the very least.

Hi!

I spent the whole afternoon talking to apple support, two tech guys, both cannot figure out what was wrong. we tried everything... literally everything and none works after hours. In the end they suggested calling adobe for the issue (not doing that - perhaps another waste of time), just download the chrome and firefox for now until they resolve the issue.

I have same problem, no videos play, plus my battery won't charge (it stays on 76% but the mac will only work if its connected to the power supply)! My macbook pro is a mid 2012.

I tried the smc reset but it makes no difference!

Any chance apple will fix this mess anytime soon?

I have the same issue. I upgraded to Yosemite after waiting to hear that there was a fix put in place to reolve the wifi issues that had been getting so much attention. After the upgrade, I tried to look at a product review on Youtube, and it wouldn't play. I updated Adobe, but that didn't really help. I was able to see one video, but the links to other videos stopped working. Tried looking at a video on Vimeo and Break and those worked just fine. Contacted Apple support and they saidit could be my internet provider because they tried it on their end and it worked. Ultimately, I installed Chrome and had no problems on Youtube.

Mac Rumors reports it appears to be an issue on YouTube's end as users of 10.10 are experiencing the same issue.

It’s Google that needs to do the fixing. They own YouTube. I have visited numerous other website that use HTML5 video as well as sites that use Flash and ALL are working just fine. it’s ONLY YouTube that is screwing up. It’s NOT Yosemite, it’s not Safari 8, it’s YouTube.

Hi. At this very moment everything seemed to be normal again in youtube for safari. maybe it was a youtube problem after all. Anyone else back to normal?

Hi robsone,

How do you get that Develop option in your menu bar? Mine just shows History then Bookmarks.

Thanks

i did User Agent > Safari 8 and it seemed to solve the problem, i have closed and opened safire 3 times and its working for me, how about you?

Ok found it. Open safari preferences > open Advanced> Show Develop menu at bottom of page

Yes Safari and Chrome for Mac both work, thanks

I had this same problem. I thought it was Adobe Flash as I had updated Flash and then noticed the problem. I had 10.10.1 for a few days and didn't see any issues, but Im not sure how often I went to Youtube.
