Does anyone know the cause of this or a solution ?? I had youtube when I bought it but now it says it cannot connect to it ... Some info would be great !!

hmmm... the server may just be down. It happens. Sometimes the stocks and weather will fail to update. Just try again in a bit.

No it doesn't work in areas that have good wifi connection .. Is anyone else having this problem .. ??


Posted by: coomac

BladeG35C means the youtube servers are probably down, not your wifi connection.


Posted by: cockyjeremy

Yea.. mine's done that once before. Probably just the youtube servers.

Mine is doing the same. So as per the comments here, I waited. Now its been 5 days and still no go???? I met up with a friend of mine on the weekend who also has an Iphone and his was working fine but mine still did not work under that same WiFi connection??? WTF???

that happened to me, a few weeks ago, i re-patched the you tube files and it started working again. now it's messed up again and i haven't try to fix it yet.

try re-applying the you tube hack and see if that fixes it. i'm assuming you're having this issue on rogers, since that appears to be your provider.

Maybe if you tell us a bit about the phone: Locked/unlocked? if so how? What carrier? 1.1.1/1.0.2?

Also, what error messages are you getting? And what service are you using to connect: EDGE or WiFi?

maybe the hotspot u are using requires u to log in. open safari and make sure the wifi is really working

I've had this happen when someone sends me a link to a video that hasn't been converted to an iPhone friendly format.

mickykay,
I would check your WiFi connections for external issues (network down, proximity, security, you have to enter a specific website when first used, etc.). Sometimes my phone complains about Wi-Fi networks that are setup other than 'connect and use,' so that may be the case here.


Posted by: mickykay

Well to begin with I repatched all the files - still no go. My wifi networks are fine as my friend came and tried his phone on my Wifi and it worked fine. I unlocked this phone using the anysim method and then I ran pacay. Utube seem to work just fine then, all of a sudden about a week ago, all it say is that it cannot connect to Utube????????Oh by the way I am on rogers network......Any recommendations??? anyone.....

yea same here. The youtube app does of work on mine. I unlocked it so that everything except the phone is usable. All my apps work except for the youtube app any help?

Why dont you virginize it and send it to apple and get a 16b touch? They jail breaked it already.

probably just a server issue. it works for me ...


Posted by: GardnerMS

I'm having the same problems... I have an appt with the Genius Bar @ our local Apple store... YouTube works fine when I'm on my EDGE connection, but when I begin using Wifi, it fails. I've restored several times, and I have not unlocked my phone and am running v1.1.1 on AT&T network... and it's been more than a few days...

i can't, its been more then 2 weeks of purchase of my iphone, so they wont take it back. I also tryed to reset my wifi connection but it did not help. Plus the youtube servers cant be down for more than 2 weeks


Posted by: ~~Tito~~

Warrentee it? Get a prepaid and use that untill they send it back?


Posted by: pryncearif

not worth it, plus i have seen another thread to fix the you tube app, i also only have a year left on my verizon contract so then ill switch to at&t or i will unlock it again to use it with tmobile


Posted by: ~~Tito~~

WEll do it then. If there is a fix then fix it .

I noticed that on some videos, mostly bookmarked ones, the video tends to load extremely slowly - resulting in a lack of autoplay after selecting the video, and then multiple pauses throughout the video that require a push of the "play" button to get it going again.

I tried the PACAY way a few times and it did not work still give me cannot connect to YouTube, I tried to use the ibrickr_v0.91 but I could not get it to work (I have windows vista and iTunes v7.3.0.54 installed).
I did follow the step by step for the PACAY, and I downloaded the new files but still no go.
One thing I want to say, I had the AppTappInstaller installed on my phone and last week I ran to a small problem with my phone so I installed AppTappInstaller
Again. Could this cause the problem with YouTube cannot connect.

Please any help here,

Thanks,
