Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Does anyone know why the above message appears on my iPhone 6s when trying to play songs or videos on You Tube?
The cynical side of me suggests that it's Apple's not so subtle way of getting you to sign up to iTunes and it's probably just a matter of time before they do the same on OS X - hope I'm wrong and that there's a simple fix.
Any help much appreciated - many thanks.
YouTube works fine on iOS devices. Are you using the app? Or trying do view through a browser? Do you have restrictions of some sort enabled on your YouTube account? What country are you in?

I don't see it often, but it is possible for the owner of a video to block playback of their content on mobile devices.
Thanks for the quick response.
I'm using the YouTube app and I'm in the UK. What I don't understand is that this is a recent issue and I haven't changed anything - I'll try deleting the app and reinstalling.
As a comparison I've tried playing the same songs on my Mac Book that are blocked on the phone and everything works perfectly well - it's not as if I'm trying to watch anything 'dodgy', just stuff like Tom Jones, Marianne Faithful and other mainstream stuff.
Tried deleting and reinstalling, but no change. In the meantime I found an app called iMusic and, although it's a bit clunky, it works just fine. As an example, I tried Tom Jones' Long Lost Suitcase - no problem on iMusic, but blocked on YouTube.
Because the app mimics a desktop browser instead of a mobile device. The owner of the video block playback on mobile devices.
I have same issue, both in browser and in app...
