Ugh... Stupid macs. I thought they would "just work"

90% of the videos I try to watch on youtube are "no longer available" but I can see them just fine on my PC... What am I doing wrong? Doesn't matter if I use firefox or safari...

thats steve censoring the videos for you to ensure that you get the experience only he wants you to have

2/15/2009 10:38:32 PM

example plz, or else this sounds like bullshit

Ok, for instance, the first google link to a youtube video when I search for youtube is "no longer available"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ji5_MqicxSo

Dunno if it can be viewed on a PC or not, since I don't have my laptop with me.

works in windows xp tablet edition sp3, ubuntu 8.10 and rhel 5.3

2/15/2009 10:45:47 PM

Yes... I know, seems to be a problem with my mac. I googled all around on this issue and most forum posts seem to be dated back in '07 or early '08 and most solutions involve the google bar which I don't have

isn't loading on my mac (safari or firefox)

2/15/2009 10:47:03 PM

that link works fine on my Mac, Safari and Firefox.

also works fine on my Windows virtual machine in IE and FireFox

Works on my Mac. What did you do to gay yours up?

2/15/2009 11:11:50 PM

works fine on my mac... first gen mbp running 10.5.6

both in safari and firefox 3.1b2

2/15/2009 11:13:05 PM

its okay matt, your mac is just doing you a favor and saving you from the suck that is youtube


or you could try to reinstall flash or something

2/15/2009 11:28:45 PM

I had this problem, and it was because I was using an older version of flash player.

This would happen on Windows too if you had the old flash player.

And if you had spent 5 minutes searching google for "were sorry this video is not available" this solution would have been easy to find.

trick question, macs are gay out of the box

Well, folks, I do have the latest version of Flash installed and I have googled this topic.

2/16/2009 1:47:53 PM

Don't install the latest version of Flash. That is beta. Go to 9.x.

[Edited on February 22, 2009 at 9:57 PM. Reason : Okay, it's not beta anymore, but I found Flash 10 broke a lot of stuff.]

I don't have a mac, but I'm sure it would work on it if I did
