Why are the buttons suddenly not working? TheFuzzyOfDoom 06/05/14 08:40
So while I was listening to one of my playlists it stopped automatically playing the videos. When I clicked on the autoplay button nothing happened. The video buttons worked, but I couldn't like videos or share or comment or add them to a playlist. I can only bring down the menu from my icon when I click on upload first. I can't bring down the youtube guide thing or whatever that menu is called. The video thumbnails are gone, but I can still click and watch them. When I am actually on a playlist I cannot click the "load more" button. Whenever I click on a video on a playlist, it will automatically go all the way back to the top, so I either have to hit the next button or scroll all the way down to get to the next video.

This isn't necessarily a major problem, but it's really really annoying.

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Romeo Dobbelsteen 06/05/14 10:09
I've been having the same problems too with Youtube. I've tried clearing my cache and even resetting Safari but nothing works. Youtube works just fine on Chrome and Firefox. This is pretty weird, it work just fine yesterday.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Arbarano 06/05/14 10:29
The same for me. The pictures of the videos also disappeared; i can see only titles.

See the window.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Sam3352 06/05/14 11:27
same problem, buttons not responding, thumbnails not loading. Channels and playlists load thumbnails but still have unresponsive buttons. watching videos seems ok but loading comments and clicking the 'transcript' (next to about) buttons are also unresponsive. Other ppl in the house have it working fine, i am on an old os (mac 10.5.8) so currently im guessing this is flash updates. livestreaming websites have slowly stoppped supporting flash thats available for mac 10.5.8 so my guess is its osmething to do with that.. troubleshooting youtube, even trying to navigate this forum has made me want to go and live a nomadic lifestyle. lol
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Sam3352 06/05/14 11:29
oh and browser doesnt make a difference for me. all showing the same exact problem

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Hey, I'm JC 06/05/14 14:25
Hi everyone,
Exact same issue, my issue is that YouTube is acting like it is frozen. It recognizes that I am logged in and everything but the videos on the home screen have no pictures. When I click "show more" it doesn't do anything. No buttons on YouTube work except for pause/play, fast forward, screen size/video size only for fullscreen as the action for large player seems to not be working either (when I click on it, it doesn't make the player larger), speed, and video quality. I've deleted my history, cache, cookies, restarted my computer 4 times in the course of the school day, and I've even changed browsers multiple times. I don't know what is going on because it was working fine yesterday. It's getting annoying. Anybody that knows a solution please help. (sorry if my post appears twice)
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? treant deu 06/05/14 14:26
i just wish i knew if it was me or if their is nothing i can do
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Arbarano 06/05/14 14:27
It's certainly not just you.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Jabba Man 06/05/14 15:10
Good to see I'm not the only one! Hopefully there will be a solution to this very soon.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Dead on Safari 06/05/14 15:31
Been having the exact same problems with youtube in Safari.
Done all the cache clearing biz and tried reinstalling Flash.
No Joy.

No thumbnails, comments area has wheel spinning continuously, can't enlarge windows and other various functions don't react to clicks.

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? laurabaugh 06/05/14 16:22
so when i click the upload button it actually works. then i can click on the other buttons, but if i go to the home page the other button stop working. so basically the upload button works. still no thumbnails and comments wont load.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Hey, I'm JC 06/05/14 16:45
apparently clicking upload allows me to click the other buttons too but if you return to the home page it doesn't work.  
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? The EDNC 06/05/14 16:47
I finally was able to sign in using Google+, but nothing works, all the tabs along the top... completely dead, all the video thumbnails.... won't load-up, comments on my own videos won't load up either etc... I can play videos if I click onto an empty thumbnail, but that's about it. OSX Safari, cleared all cache, cookies, everything... what's up... this just started less than 8 hours ago! WTF Google?  What's going on?
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? puppetgirl 06/05/14 21:05
Yep having the same problems.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Jessica Lemos 06/05/14 21:52
Having this problem too! I hope this is fixed soon.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? metaling1 06/05/14 22:29
My problem exactly too...
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Starbits7 06/05/14 22:47
Mine's slightly different (I posted a question about this before I found this particular post).

I can watch videos just fine and see everything but buttons along top then bottom of pages don't work. I can't get onto my page or see playlists.

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Julian John Vickery 07/05/14 02:21
Likewise. Now unable to post videos to a blog where music is a major draw to my readership base. :(

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Tony Medici 07/05/14 07:00
Seems like I'm not the only one!  

My problem: You Tube works on my iPhone 5. But on Macbook Pro not working. I can see home page and My Channel, but can't log in or out of the account (options not available on page); buttons not owrking Also, thumbnails don't load, but when I click on the video it works fine.  I've cleared cookies/cache and reloaded Flash. System Preferences say Flash is up to date. Not sure if it is a Mac or YT problem. Totally stumped. Just started a couple of days ago or less. Everything fine up to then.

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? The EDNC 07/05/14 07:54
Good Question! Now What?  How do we get the attention of Google HQ's?
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Alexandre Mutti 07/05/14 07:56
Same problem here. Google is always making improvements on Youtube, changing it. So now and then something like this happens. I just get a bit shocked that Google - the company most of us admire the most - keeps making these mistakes when improving its services.

"i am on an old os (mac 10.5.8) so currently im guessing this is flash updates. livestreaming websites have slowly stoppped supporting flash thats available for mac 10.5.8 so my guess is it has something to do with that"

Not really, I'm on an old Mac too (MBPro 2008, running the last useful MacOS X, 10.6.8) and Youtube worked fine until the day before yesterday on Safari. Then suddenly everything went to sh!t … with the same symptoms you described, i.e. most of the interactive elements (buttons, commenting etc.) stopped working. I tried everything (cleaning caches + cookies, resetting Safari, updating Flash to the latest Plug-In-Version 13.0.0.206) … but still no dice! Videos still play correctly though, but every other interactive function is AWOL, almost like what you'd get when JavaScript is disabled.

On the latest Firefox for Mac (v.29) it works slightly better, comments and video-thumbnails do load, but adding a comment of my own or even rating another user's comment still doesn't work … if I try to type in the comment-box a pop-up from accounts.google+ appears and vanishes within a second and no typing or rating is accepted.

Conclusion: Youtube has major bugs within the interactive elements of their pages, it's most probably due to some faulty JavaScripting …
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? The EDNC 07/05/14 08:11
Does anyone know how to get this noticed by YT and Google Technicians?
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? puppetgirl 07/05/14 08:29
I'm using 10.5.8 also. I'm scared that YT has stopped supporting Safari. (A rumor I have heard for awhile) This would be terrible for me since it is my main browser and I can't afford to buy a new computer, As a creator, this is also a disaster. I can't access anything, all button, video manager, I can't see or respond to comments. 

I have also had some problems in G+ too with lots of those features not working.  My Ipad still works. And I did get a pop up on my ipad that said "Disconnect Google plus account" as a choice. (Hmmm)   What I hope is that they are just making some stupid changes and messed up and our features will work again. 

Can someone from YT or Google Please help or at least comment! #youtubenotworking
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Tony Medici 07/05/14 08:42
Re: getting noticed by Google Techs?  when one posts here, you get the option of sending message to tech, rather than post.  I tried that, but it did not seem to work. Kept asking me to relaod.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? The EDNC 07/05/14 08:53
Likewise! It will not allow us to post this issue to YT techs...  Is this some kind of Google JOKE! This is really pissing me off something wicked!
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Tony Medici 07/05/14 09:10
Somebody else mentioned this, but I tried to:  using Upload button, then go to Dashboard, you can sign in or out. I signed out, then back in, but still blanked out thumbnails on my channel. I was hoping the sign-in or out might help. AT least one can sign in or out using the upload/dashboard.  Maybe pushing that further might restore the thumbs using a YT command?  I'm definitely not a techie!
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Hey, I'm JC 07/05/14 09:21
so what do we do? just wait for it to work again?
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Hey, I'm JC 07/05/14 09:23
YouTube works on Firefox for me but not Chrome or Safari.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? The EDNC 07/05/14 09:26
I assume we're all Mac users? .. right?  I was just told to "upgrade to Mavericks and the problem will be solved" ... NO FREAKING WAY!!!! I hate Mavericks...
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? puppetgirl 07/05/14 09:29
I do have an older mac 2008, Mac book Pro. I'm having the same issues in Chrome Version 21.0.1180.90
No buttons, thumbnails, comments, can't access video manager etc...

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Starbits7 07/05/14 10:00
I even went and got all the upgrades for what I have on my computer. I've had my computer 6 years and not one single problem. Apparently it doesn't support Mavericks (It says it doesn't work on my operating system).  I would have to pay to get a specific upgrade apparently.

If YT doesn't support Safari this is the first I've heard of it.  I've never had any issues before now.

Frustrating. If Google + Youtube are trying to get people to get new operating systems or browsers then fuck em!  I will NOT pay money to install or upgrade onto my existing - beautifuul and still-functioning computer. I'll just go somewhere else. There are enough sites out there. Just a shame since I love Youtube and have used it for years...

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? ytKARL 07/05/14 11:05
Thanks for posting your info so far. We could use a bit more detail to help investigate the issue. If you can, please try the following:

1) On a page where you're seeing the problem, right click on the site
2) Click "Inspect Element"
3) Go to the "Console" (you can do this by clicking an icon that looks like a > sign next to three straight lines)
4) Copy an error messages you see there, and paste them here

Also, using Feather is definitely a workaround, but it'd be better if you could use the normal version of the site.

What browser are you using? If Safari, you can try Develop -> Show Error Console. Chrome: Tools -> Developer Tools -> Console. Firefox: 
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? The EDNC 07/05/14 11:48
ytKARL "If Safari, you can try Develop -> Show Error Console. Chrome: Tools -> Developer Tools -> Console. Firefox:"

Right click does not bring up either "Inspect Element" nor "Show Error Console" In fact it brings up nothing, as if the page wasn't even there! Actually IT'S GETTING WORSE... now the top banner Ad is GONE!

and it's not just on the home page. All of the home page videos are grayed out. When I click on a video, I can watch it, but I can't subscribe, like, or comment. The comments don't even load.

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Tony Medici 07/05/14 12:06
OK, thanks to Dobblesteen, I found the Inspect Element, went to YT, right-clicked, console, states: "Reference Error:  Can't find variable : History"   Is that useful?

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Thenicolexoxo 07/05/14 12:16

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? treant deu 07/05/14 13:19
Temporary FIX to make it usable until the normal site is fixed:

Log in to your YouTube account.

GO TO YouTube homepage... at the bottom click "Try Something New"

Click the "Feather" Beta button

You may not have full functionality, but the thumbnails will come back, as well as being able to use the options and settings buttons and loading more videos in sub box.

You can go back to the "try something new" link and leave Beta at your convenience.  

Not my fix. I have to credit another thread.

i hope they fix it soon though.

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Lauren O'Toole 07/05/14 13:43
I FOUND A GLITCH!!!!!!!!

After turning on Feather Beta mode, click on the video you want to watch.

Then next tot he video should be a small blue box saying "You are viewing this on a lightweight version of the video page. Go back to the standard video page? JUST THIS ONCE | PERMANENTLY  

Click on JUST THIS ONCE  and it should re-load the page.

Now it allows you to like the video, add to a playlist,  look at the description and comment.

HOWEVER you'd have to do the same thing every time you watch a different video.

I hope they fix this soon.

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Thenicolexoxo 07/05/14 15:12
Okay I went on another thread and found a solution!!

do the feather thing. Then watch a video. On the right is a blue box that reads the following:  
You are viewing this on a lightweight version of the video page. Go back to the regular video page?
Just this once | Permanently

Click "Just this once" and all the features you mentioned are restored.

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? ChrisBlack767 07/05/14 15:18
Exact same thing is happening to me. Except I am on Google Chrome. I can watch videos, but I can't comment, like videos, I can view the video description, etc.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? The EDNC 07/05/14 15:29
The FEATHER Beta is NOT, repeat...NOT A FIX... all that does is restore settings without much demand ("low latency").  It does restore some standard functions but will not enable posted comments and advanced settings for high end users. No doubt this Beta is part of the problem, but for all Mac users, I would do exactly what was asked, go into  SAFARI, Preference, enable DEVELOP on your screen top, log into YT, hit the DEVELOP tab, scroll down to SHOW ERROR CONSOLE, copy your errors (Screen Grab) and post it here... most likely it's a CONFLICT with the latest JAVASCRIPT...  
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Thenicolexoxo 07/05/14 15:33

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Star Lord Groupie 07/05/14 18:28
I'm having the same problems of everyone on this thread, yet I can't press any buttons either so it's not like I can get to any screens to help myself out.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Mark Books 07/05/14 19:13
This is the solution that worked for me:


1. Enable develop in Safari:

     Go To:

     1. Safari
     2. Preferences
     3. Advanced Tab
     4. Check "Show Develop Menu In Menu Bar"
     5. Close Box
     6. Exit Safari


2. Reopen Safari:

     1. Go To Youtube
     2. Click Develop
     3. User Agent
     4. Choose "Internet Explorer 8"
 

3. Repeat section (2) steps 2-4 if you open a youtube link in a new tab.

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Star Lord Groupie 07/05/14 19:34
There is no "Develop" to press when I go to YouTube for Step 2.  How to I get to user agent if there isn't a Develop button anywhere.

Mac laptop 10.6.8. I've tried on Safari, Chrome, and Firefox with the issue not resolving in any of them. I've tried restarting my computer.

(My previous post:)
Hey guys, is anyone else experiencing issues with Youtube? I can't click on anything except videos. Upload button, the button with my username on it, the sign out button, the subscribe button, any links on the page, the help button, none of these are working. And the video thumbnails aren't loading at all. I have a Mac laptop 10.6.8. I've tried on Safari, Chrome, and Firefox with the issue not resolving in any of them. I've tried restarting my computer and I've tried posting on the youtube help forum but it keeps on saying there's an "error." Someone please help!

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? rloomis3 07/05/14 21:07
I'm having the same problems everyone else here is describing.  I think they started on May 6th -- maybe the day before that.

I also can't remove videos from my subscription feed.  I'm subscribed to a lot of channels, so the feed is getting awfully clogged.

And just now I noticed that apparently we can't "send feedback" to YouTube/Google anymore?  (Link at bottom of YouTube pages brings me to the Google Product Forums.)  Nice, Google -- were you just tired of hearing complaints, and decided to essentially turn them off?

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? rloomis3 07/05/14 21:30
First, I apologize for my previous release of bile.

I'm running OS 10.6.8, Safari 5.1.10.

How does one "right click" on a Mac?  I'd like to offer the other info requested, but don't know how to obtain it.

Oh, and for people who can't comment on videos:  in the url for a video, replace "watch" with "all_comments," and you should be able to post comments there.

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? BookProX 07/05/14 21:30
Btw, these are all Java errors.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Thenicolexoxo 07/05/14 21:32
tap two fingers on your track pad to "right click"
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? rloomis3 07/05/14 21:44
Thanks -- but now all I get (which I also got by clicking and pressing "control") is:

Back
Reload page
Open in Dashboard...

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? The Lady from UNCLE 08/05/14 10:38
I am only marking ytLauren's response as best answer so that readers of this thread wont miss the fact that Google have stated that they are aware and are working on a fix.  This is due to the length of the thread and her response being buried on one of the latter pages.

It is important to note that this appears to affect predominantly (meaning- not ONLY, but mainly) Safari on Mac users.

As requested by ytKarl here are my findings:

I tested it on Chrome and Firefox- no problems.
Safari is slow but WILL eventually load thumbs.  It will let me sign in and even navigate but only as long as I use the URL bar or the left hand controls (History etc).  I cannot close adverts, I cannot use the Google+ notification bell or drop down the menu at the top right.

Specs:  
MacBook Pro OSX10.6.8
Chrome 34.0.1847.131
Firefox 28.0
Safari 5.1.10

This is now the third day that Youtube has not worked properly in Safari. No thumbnails are loading, cannot view comments. Cannot use any drop-down menus. Cannot use any filters. Is anybody actually trying to fix this issue? If so what is taking so long? Also, why do Youtube make it so ridiculously complicated to report an issue? Beyond a joke.

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? T.K. Archibald 08/05/14 07:35
And now the app isn't working either. I don't see how this has even happened. YouTube has slowly gotten worse over the years. It's comical how ads (which are usually marketed to the wrong demographic - and even if they were, let's face it, no one clicks on the ads or even pays close attention to them) play just fine but when the actual video pops up, the freaking thing lags. Youtube is making millions and it doesn't even work as good when it first came out, how is that possible?

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Elise te Pas 08/05/14 08:09
I'm having the same problem for a few days in Chrome: grey boxes where the videos and thumbnails are supposed to be, certain buttons (like large view/small view) aren't responding, and comments aren't loading.
I tried clearing my cache, reinstalling Flash but to no avail. Youtube works fine in Opera and Firefox.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? TomRXE 08/05/14 08:20
Same here except mine is on my BlackBerry PlayBook and BlackBerry Z10 (only when I tried the z10 in desktop mode for a test) which both browsers are webkit based. In fact, that is why I ended up here in the first place when after I tried all the usual - clear cache, cookies, turn Flash off then on, device resets, etc. When nothing cleared it, I searched the Internet to see if I was the only one, which directed me to here. Like others, I only noticed it yesterday, not having been on YouTube since last Friday when it was fine. I hope they are able to quickly track down whatever was changed this week to fix whatever is affecting so many browsers (but not all). Good luck, Google.

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? The EDNC 08/05/14 09:04
If you read the entire thread you would know that GOOGLE+ techs are working on a fix. Yes it's a screw up. It appears to be a conflict with the latest JAVA-script from what I can tell. There is a temporary go around....

1) Log onto YT
2) Scroll to the bottom and click onto [ Try Something New ]
3) Opt into [Feather}
4) Log back onto YT (Your thumbnails should load up)
5) Click onto a video to watch
6) You'll notice it has no comments, but that's okay!
7) On the right side you'll see a blue window stating:  [You are viewing this on a lightweight version of the video page. Go back to the regular video page?
Just this once | Permanently]
8) Click on [Just This Once] and everything will work and appear, all comments etc.
9) You'll need to do this for every video until it's fixed...

Good Luck!

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Joel Szasz 08/05/14 09:22
It looks like I'm having almost the exact same problems:

Comments: Not loading
Video Thumbnails: Not showing
Load More Suggestions: Not working
Like/Dislike Button: Not functioning
Logout Button: Not functioning
Notifications: Not responding
Help Button: Not working

Oddly enough, all buttons seem to work fine on the Upload page.

 It is almost as if I don't even have an account with Youtube.

I can only leave replies on Google Notifications, and I've been driving myself nearly crazy trying to figure out the cause of this malady, and find some way to over-ride it, without any success.

 It only brings an extremely small comfort to know that I'm not the only one who is suffering from this.
It has been this way for three days.

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? ytLauren 08/05/14 10:42
Hi everyone, If you're still experiencing the issue where most elements on YouTube are not loading or not functioning (e.g. thumbnails, comments, load more, send feedback, like/dislike, etc), we would appreciate your help in providing more detail.

1) On a page where you're seeing the problem, right click on the site
2) Click "Inspect Element"
3) Go to the "Console" (you can do this by clicking an icon that looks like a > sign next to three straight lines, or on some browsers just a ">" sign)
4) Copy an error messages you see there, and paste them here

If the steps above don't work for you, try these:
  • For Safari: Develop -> Show Error Console
  • For Chrome: Tools -> Developer Tools -> Console
  • For Firefox: Tools -> Web Developer -> Browser Console

On newer OS systems like OS X 10.9.2 Mavericks using Safari Version 7.0.3 (9537.75.14) for web browser, there are no other issues but lag. 
I think there is a catch in how “same origin” security policy is programmed in Java ( as found in JavaScript tutorial at: http://javascript.info/tutorial/same-origin-security-policy). From what I have seen so far, If the list of errors is more than 40 to 100 on the page, then something can happen or, could be missed when the page is loaded and rendered in the browser.

Go to the Safari menu.  Choose "Preferences.  Click "Advanced" in the toolbar.  After that, there should be an option that says "show develop menu in menu bar".  Check that box.  Now, you should see a "Develop" menu in your menu bar.

Hi there,

This is the only error I see when following your instructions (in Red) :


Error: history.replaceState is not a function

Then further on the right I have this :
spf-vflR6XweP.js:4

This was done on Safari 5.1.10 (6534.59.10)

I've been having this issue for the past couple of days. When I visit youtube without logging on, the thumbnails on the front page show up, but nothing else. When signed in, buttons do not function, the dropdown menu on the left side does not compress (so I cannot check my subscription boxes) Thumbnails do no load. I'm so tired of YT issues.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Jafromobile 08/05/14 15:40
A temporary fix is to access your YouTube Inbox which everyone has forgotten how to do since the frustrating advent of Google+.  Whatever bad code is on your home page and channel isn't on that page yet.  I say yet because the last 6 months have me convinced that it's inevitable.

If you don't know how to do this, be logged into your YouTube account and go here:

You'll find the broken google notifier and the broken shortcut links that bring up 
ARE STILL WORKING.

If you just navigate in to your default www.youtube.com, indeed, that page is FUBAR'd.  There's remnants of this catastrophe all throughout the rest of the pages, though.  If you liked this advice, go subscribe to Jafromobile and learn how to build 500hp AWD imports as well.  ;)
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Kate Beaman 08/05/14 15:42
I have been having the exact same problem for the past 4 days hoping that it would just fix itself but it is still happening. All of my subscription boxes are greyed out. I can still play videos but the comments do not load and the buttons around my subscription page are non-responsive. I am using safari and not sure how to find the error code. It is getting really frustrating! Please Help!!!

and have done all the same things to try and fix and still several days later still not fixed

guess all we can do is wait for youtube to figure out there's a problem and for them to fix it

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Jim X 08/05/14 17:24
I somehow managed to comment again but that doesn't mean everything's fixed. But what I did was I set Google to Safety mode so that below the Youtube vid there would be a link to a whole comments section and there I could comment and like others' comments. Don't get me wrong, however, this is only what I'm experiencing right now and it may not apply to everyone else, but you can give this a try.

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Kev Meyers 08/05/14 19:30
I have the exact same problem and it's been four days now. Crazy.
No thumbnail images, constant pinwheel loading comments but the comments never show up.
Almost everything is un-clickable with zero response. The only thing I can do is click on any video and play that ONE video. I can't use playlists because it doesn't proceed to the next video instead just plays one and stops. Tried everything. I am also on Safari on an IMac OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.8.  
I've never had such a problem and I see from hundreds of posts on this one site that many others
are having the same exact issue. I cleared cookies...emptied the entire cache and downloaded the latest Adobe flashdrive version and no luck....Nada....Nix...Nothing. This is obviously a Youtube/Google issue and it is a major one as I can't do anything on Youtube nor play groups of videos in playlists.
As I said, it's been DAYS now...this is driving me nuts. So, as several have asked...Is anything being done about this??

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? vito tums 08/05/14 21:46

I found that if you switch your user agent that this will temporarily fix the issue. It you change your user agent to the following.

Mozilla/29.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:2.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/29.0

By using the develop feature. Go to Develop>User Agent>Other
Then paste in the is into the text field.

I got exactly the same problem since yesterday... It is really annoying, the only thing i can do on youtube is watch video, but i love to add them on my favorite list, and the button is not responding (although, i can reach my favorite list and play any video i want, even the thumbnails are viewable, which is not possible on the main page...). Even the research bar autocomplete doesn't work.
I am really looking forward for this problem to solve, thank you

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Crystal Arianna 09/05/14 01:40
Google+ and youtube are doing this on purpose - they don't care about the people with older computers still trying to afford all the newer models and updates.

This is called their way of silencing the low-class masses and Google+ and youtube knows what it is doing.

I predict if they do not fix this problem - youtube and Google are pandering to the newest computers out and will keep on doing this over and over again till nothing works on any advanced computer back from the year 2007  2010.  

This is really sneaky and pathetic what they are doing, they only want people making Vids on I-phones not laptops anylonger - that is why they shrink the playlists and choices and customzing all for I-phone type compatibility.

Youtube and Google+ are doing this all on purpose to SNUB the Middle-class with older computers and make the lower income people go bankrupt with this sneaky scheme of theirs - All Youtubes changes mark the question of Conspiracy against the normal youtube users who can't afford newer computers because America is going to have another war very very soon.

Why are you talking hardware when this is clearly a software problem

why would it not affect internet explorer, (one of the older browsers out there) but does affect chrome (googles own browser)

It's May 9th and still nothing yet.  I download the latest version of Adobe Flash Player (reluctantly after the last update fiasco), nothing.  Cleared all caches and reset Safari.
Java enabled and 3rd party cookies.  Nothing.  Looked at the HTML5 page on youtube (I'm still using "other" software (Adobe).
 
No thumbnails, no icons work, can't sign out, can't read mail, comments in perpetual load...etc.
Video's play fine when clicking on the title only.  

What ever happened to "Keep it simple stupid!"
 
 

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? MomoeKaitenMokuba . 09/05/14 11:02
Have you tried the temporary solution?

On a youtube page scroll down and click "try something new", then where it says "Feather" click "try it out" and then click "join feather beta". After you do that everything works.  The only thing different is on video pages there are no comments but if you click "just this once" you can view the comments. (Some would say not being able to see comments is an improvement as it's usually just people having petty arguments.)

You can leave feather beta at any time by clicking "try something new" etc and going through to the join page which now will have a link allowing you to leave feather beta.

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? themig292003 09/05/14 11:12

works for maxthon too. setting is "Customize UserAgent String" in options>advanced. Choose either IE or Firefox.

Chrome, Safari, Opera strings dont work. though the opera string was for 9.9

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? HPislegend248 09/05/14 11:16
Leaving that as a last resort. I'll join if it's May 13th and the problem still isn't fixed. Until then, I'd rather not get involved in a Beta(which will come with its own set of problems) and hopefully get things back to normal in a few days. Hopefully, YT'll pick up the slack before then

I was able to fix my problem.. I quit using google...and used EI...I opened the google page in EI and it asked if I wanted to download google chrome browser and so I did.. that shit fixed it.Whent back to chrome and youtube and it worked.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? drainide 09/05/14 12:40
Glad to be reading some recent posts about this issue, Chrome and Firefox load all tabs at once which sucks, even with the preferences ticked to 'load only when clicked on', it still just loads all of them in the background, which is so irritating.

My Safari has been perfect for me up til now, I mean I guess I wouldn't mind switching to Chrome or Firefox if they didn't Suck so hard. On Vimeo they won't even properly fullscreen vids.

I want my Safari back up and running! Who's in charge here, wheres the Youtube Google tech team on this, I demand this be fixed. Fix it fix it fix it.

I am also realizing how disgruntled I am becoming as a human being without my basic access to youtube and being able to stack up tabs of content to enjoy.

Please and thank u

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? drainide 09/05/14 12:44
Agreed, for a site as huge as Youtube, more than 3 days with this problem is unacceptable

Just so we're clear, if I have to dl Chrome to get my YT back, I will. But I'll only be using it for YT. For everything else, I'm stick with what I got. And, once you fix this problem, I'm deleting Chrome all together. You foisted Google Plus on us already. I'll be damned before you make me fully use Chrome too.

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? zyphoid666 09/05/14 15:03
(sigh) Don't do that.  I realize your supervisors/bosses are most likely using you as a human shield and you've probably managed to spare us from the amount of push-back they would normally want to use or would definitely use themselves, but we'd probably rather wait and get no statements until things are truly figured out then get that patronizing "make sure it's not something YOU'RE doing wrong" bit.  Far too many of us are having the exact the same problems/issues across too many different browsers, operating systems and terminals to be an end-user-level problem of up-to-date software or performance settings.  
It's absolutely a provider-level problem (no doubt at this point in anyone's mind) so if the bosses don't allow any acknowledgement of that to the user base (what company ever does?), at least spare us the push-back techniques because it's gotten to the point now where "that dog ain't gonna hunt".

You've been good with this whole situation so far though and I'd like to say I (and certainly others) appreciate your patience and endurance.  Again, I imagine the bosses expect you to be much more condescending and careless to the common user base than you've been so thanks and much appreciated for being stuck in the middle all this time.  :)

Just download the FREE FireFox browser. YouTube works absolutely fine on FireFox. I have FF and Safari but for the moment I am using FF for YouTube only until the issue is fixed for use with Safari. No need to get frustrated, you will be able to access your YouTube account with no problems!
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? zyphoid666 09/05/14 16:42
They're probably segregating the threads by browser and/or operating system rather than group them all together in huge threads because the individual mechanics and tools differ slightly from one browser to the next.
A bug-fix for Safari, for instance, probably wouldn't port directly to Chrome or Firefox and also solutions for OS X platforms wouldn't port directly to Windows and so on.  
Easier to have them all in their own dedicated threads to avoid problems with the variable differences between browsers/operating systems confusing the users.

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Jamie Jobb 09/05/14 17:48
Yes, same thing here.  Comments don't load and don't work.  They are endlessly looped in a "loading" mode.   Some buttons on my channel (change the preview/drop the preview) also don't work.  This just started happening recently so I don't know the extent of it.  But it does not inspire confidence.  
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? puppetgirl 09/05/14 18:30
I do hope that YT will support older browsers and especially Safari.  I can't update my operating system, browser ect unless I upgrade a lot of programs which would cost me a fortune.  I have to save for a new computer! Then I can upgrade everything! I know I am not alone!

Just wondering...Sorry don't mean to introduce a new discussion here but..... is anyone having issues with Google plus too?  I did a test yesterday and uploaded a simple video.  I, of course couldn't see or comment in Safari or Chrome.  Then I posted on G+ to see if I could comment there and I realized all my posts on G+ page had disappeared over the past few days.  Yes, this may not be related, but then again maybe it is. I posted one more time on G+ and that post disappeared too.  hmmmm

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? bsaget98 09/05/14 18:55
i am having this problem as well with chrome. i can get everything to work ok on firefox, but prefer to use chrome. i can subscribe or view comments, or add videos to playlists or use autoplay while watching video playlists. all the video thumbnails are blank and if i watch a video in fullscreen and click a suggested video once it ends (i.e. the next video in a series) it plays as if nothing was wrong but once i back out of fullscreen all of the information beneath the video (title, description, views, etc) indicate that i am still watching the video that i originally went fullscreen in, even though the current video is still playing. its not a huge issue but it is really pissing me off. what the fuck google get your shit together

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? BookProX 09/05/14 20:13
Despite the errors seen in Safari Console, missing video thumbs and buttons will eventually show up over some time. The lengthy lag in displaying the page is the result of errors that will eventually timeout like, blocked frames due protocols, domains, and ports that do not match for example. (please see enclosed screen presentation)


Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Carli M 09/05/14 20:38
Same issue with me. I just updated my flash player and my browser is the newest version. I'm hoping they fix this soon, I can't even add a video to a playlist or like it or even get to my profile. Barely any buttons work.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Evilbusdriver12 09/05/14 20:51

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Starbits7 09/05/14 21:30
Mine just says I'm using Safari 5 and there is a new version I can get.  I click on 'update browser'  but the only options are the extensions that have nothing to do with the browser  - Like:

Pinterest button
New York Times update
Ad block

etc.

One of the first things I had done nearly 4-5 days ago when this issue started, was to update and go to this very site. No option on there at all that is showing what I'm supposed to update.  I had updated previously anything on this page that says 'safari' on it (and it says right beneath the 'Safari Restore' that it's installed in my computer.  

So...what am I missing because this was done days ago and it's done nothing to help the Youtube situation?

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Madison Gorwill 09/05/14 21:48
I had the same exact problem. I fixed it by going to the youtube home page, scrolling all the way to the bottom and hitting the "try something new" button. Then I hit the "feather" button and then hit the "join feather beta" button.

Same problem, It's been happening for the last couple of days. I believe since YouTube was shut down and recently worked on last week. The Comments aren't loading, neither are the thumbnails in the recommended section, but the thumbnails on the very first 5 or 6 videos after I search load, and the thumbnails at the end of a video load. I can't even click on the "View more" on peoples channels. Nothing will load. It's very frustrating!

"Same problem here, I am tired of google breaking everything for all other browsers except chrome."

I'm using chrome. It's broken in chrome as well. (Unless you choose feather beta).

I can't see why it's so difficult for them to fix it. Obviously someone changed some of the code a few days ago and they did it wrong. It's standard practice to keep a backup, so it wouldn't be hard to change it back to how it was before the errors were added.

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? MomoeKaitenMokuba . 10/05/14 07:21
Updating the browser isn't the answer.

Think about it...
1. A youtube coder writes some code that doesn't work properly.
2. Google chrome updates the browser to correctly interpret the broken code.

So then what? It'd still be broken in all other browsers.

The correct thing to do would be to correct the errors in the code (which could be done by undoing whatever changes were made in the last week).

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Daniel Łazarski 10/05/14 07:23

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? willowgirl19 10/05/14 07:47
+ ytLauren  I guess you know that in order to have the most up-to-date version of Safari you have to upgrade to Maverik.  I for one cannot upgrade right away for various reasons.  So you are leaving a lot of people out in the cold by not supporting older versions of Safari anymore.  Everything was fine until this week.

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Tony Medici 10/05/14 09:35
Everyone thought this would take hours, not days.  This leads to two possible conclusions:  The IT problem is massive and even smart people at YT and Google can't either figure it out, or implement a fix because of the scale.  This is what I think it is..

Or, this is a power play by Google to force people off platforms they don'y like.  This has been suggested by a lot of people here, but if it is true (I don't think it is), it's kind of a cheesy way to do it.  But who knows?  The longer this goes on, the more skepticism it will breed.

I do know I rather not have YT than change browsers and end up with a host of other problems.

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? 4sonicsanity 10/05/14 10:32
For those of us with (slightly older) Macs running any ver. OS lower than OS 9 Mavericks / Safari - by suggesting to "make sure you're using the most up-to-date version of your browser" could create a whole new batch of problems/issues. For one, it would render most 32 bit Apps, which were purchased and ran successfully for years (example: "Logic pro 9 + plug-ins"), obsolete.  Many older macs do not have the hardware to support "Mavericks OS 10.9.2  / Safari 7.0.4". Doing an "up-to-date version of your browser" could end up meaning hundreds to thousands of dollars in hidden cost. Not to mention lots of time & frustration of redoing/reconfiguring many projects, to get up & running. YouTube was working fine a week ago, what happened??? I sure hope you can offer a better solution to use YT. Because for many, this is not a solution. Thank you for your consideration.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? diregna 10/05/14 10:37
Hey guys for those of you who can upgrade to Maverick, do it. I had the same problem as everyone else but the issue went away after upgrading to Maverick, which subsequently upgraded Safari to 7. On older OS you won't be able to upgrade Safari so if upgrading the OS is an option, do it. Good luck to those still having issues, hopefully Youtube will fix it soon!
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Elane Horhi 10/05/14 10:52

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? diregna 10/05/14 11:03
For those of you who can't upgrade Safari, you need to upgrade OS as well to Maverick. If you are using an older OS it will say you have the latest version already. As far as I am aware Safari 7 is only supported on Maverick.

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? chamois988 10/05/14 12:41
This started happening to me too in Chrome, but when I opened IE, YouTube was fine. That made me think it was a problem with Chrome. I clicked the link ytLauren gave to find out what version Chrome I had, and sure enough it was outdated (I think I had version 28). So once I downloaded the current version (34), I went back to YouTube and everything was perfect. So I suggest for anyone having this issue, go and download the most current version of Chrome!

FU idiot - this is the page for Safari problems - which are known issues, increasing daily, never fixed and only getting worse daily.  Screw your Chrome-plated crap.  I been suspecting that these increasing 'issues' are in fact deliberate and an effort by Google to attempt to force Mac users onto their crap browser . Mac users will refuse to switch to a defective product and if Google keeps messing with Apple, they may well launch their own video servers

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Defrication 10/05/14 15:03
It has been mention before so no that is only a temporary solution, you can't even view comments, post comments, or like/dislike videos. This is not a viable solution, please stop.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Bruno Enderlin 10/05/14 15:04
Follow Connor's instructions it works.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Defrication 10/05/14 16:21
I have discovered that from another respondent WAY WAY WAY earlier, somewhere on page 4-7. ITS ONLY A TEMPORARY SOLUTION. You can't post comments, read comments, or like/dislike videos. Only thing you get is Youtube thumbnails back on. Once again Connor's instruction is not a viable solution. Let me know if you can have the normal Youtube back on along with its basic features using his method
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? puppetgirl 10/05/14 16:31
I have read every single of one these posts, for days and days and still no solution. I'M STARTING TO WORRY THERE WILL BE NO FIX 
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Jerry Bennett 10/05/14 16:32
Maybe you should hire me to your "engineering team" because I know how to fix it: whatever you changed, change it back. Everything worked fine last week.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Bruno Enderlin 10/05/14 16:47
So far I get back all the video thumbnails, which is better than nothing. As I'm not using all Youtube's features it it fine for now. Cheers.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? twothtwoth 10/05/14 18:13
Here is a real fix!  I have older mini mac with Snow Leopard and this works. So go to the bottom of the page and find "Something new", this links to a beta test and when you use it, it really works. I did look at other fixes but they may have other issues for older computers.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? twothtwoth 10/05/14 18:19
More info for the fix. The wording is "Try Something new" and look at the "feather" information. If your screen is partially screwed up just load anything new and it should load a new page that you can scroll down to the bottom of.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Defrication 10/05/14 18:26
OMG for the last time that feather option is NOT A REAL fix, jezzzz......

I agree with you 100%.

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Alb DavidT 10/05/14 19:01
I also noticed something like this starting a few days ago (May 7th or 8th maybe) - many YouTube links and buttons are consistently not working with both Safari and Chrome (I will not use FireFox).
From the YouTube home page almost none of the top left hand buttons work: notifications, YouTube/Google account drop down links works, as well as the link buttons on the bottom of the page which also are not functional: Language, Country, Safety, Help - although the buttons on the bottom do react when I hover over then with the pointer, they just do not function as links. Also from any video page the "show more" section does not load and none of the comments load: the "Loading" message just sits there even when I left it over night to see if it was a time issue (it was not). Also on any video I have checked none of the: Like, Dislike, About, Share, Add to, Stats, or Report buttons work in either of the browsers (Safari, Chrome).
I really funny thing about this is that the problem does not seem to happen on the old "inbox" page - like that page was not updated with whatever new code is not working on all the other YouTube pages...

Thanks to this feather stuff, everything on the home page immediately works fine again. And for the video pages, you just need to click on one little link to get the usual video pages with the comments and all...
If that's not THE solution, that's still a pretty damn useful workaround that makes everything works fine back again with a single click effort for each video.

I think you haven't figured the whole feather thing out. Have you tried to click on "Just this once" in the blue frame of the lightweight version of the video pages?


Anyways, if the video pages can be perfectly loaded when first coming from the page "lightened" by feather, then I wonder why it takes so long to solve the problem...

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Defrication 10/05/14 19:54
No I tried it it works if you want to see the thumbnails again. I know what I'm doing and I'm confident to say that it is not the perfect solution since you are missing a lot of features such as posting comments, reading comments, like/dislike video. Trust me I seen people constantly bring up this feather solution since page 5
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? McBibi 10/05/14 20:07
Well... hum... ok... If you know what you're doing...
Meanwhile, I'm posting comments, reading comments, liking/disliking videos thanks to this feather solution. And so do the people who brought this up since page 5...

You can post comments.  Next to the video is a blue box. Click "just this once" and you can read the comments, like, post comments etc.

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Defrication 10/05/14 20:43
What? Your comments aren't stuck on loading? You can actual thumbs up or down video? Because the feather option has only given the thumbnails back but it hasn't allowed me to comment since or like videos

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? bethsaz 11/05/14 00:41
I have the same issues, although YouTube is working on Chrome (which I don't intend on using). Apparently upgrading the system to Mavericks is the way to resolve everything but I am not planning on doing that either, having only heard bad things about the new software. I guess it's just a waiting game for YouTube to sort things out now, although that could take a while..

The least you could do when making your own post as best answer is to quote a post with a possible workaround in it whilst you say the problem is being worked on. Then the info is not buried and people will actually see it.

Yes this worked for me

I have the same problem with youtube in safari, there is no video thumbnails appear in my home screen all , the buttons are unresponsive and the comment area constantly spinning. I try reinstalling the latest version of flash drive, update my safari, clear cache and history...still no go

It doesn't work on any browser for me. And Google decided by itself to log out and relog on my other account that doesn't have a youtube page. It was really complicated to go back to my youtube account since the buttons are not working. For me, it's been a whole week like this and it's getting worse :( Trying the Feather Beta did not work, as the videos never load (it' blank. I see links, but the video never appears.)
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? SvN Nex 11/05/14 08:18

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Erich Walrath 11/05/14 10:51
The thumbnails for YouTube videos are not loading.

I'm using Safari Version 5.1.10 (6534.59.10) for Snow Leopard, (which is the latest available for this version of Mac OS), and am seeing this issue.

Tried clearing cache and resetting Safari - no impact.

Tried reinstalling Safari - no impact.

Firefox 29.0.1 for Mac works as expected.

First noticed this behavior 4 days ago. It appears to be getting worse.

The "solution" presented by ytLauren does not rectify the issue.

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? McBibi 11/05/14 12:50
Really, it's pathetic. More than a week to solve this? Seriously? It perfectly worked a week ago!

I really don't see why I should update my whole OS just because of this absurd bug. Especially as my Snow Leopard is more stable than Mavericks will ever be. So, I stick with feather and it's ok for me. But seriously, Google techs are pathetic.

I don't even understand how it is possible that the exact same pages that can't load properly can actually load perfectly with the feather workaround. Same page, two paths, one working, one not working... And the bêta stuff works better than the current website. LOL

It worked a week ago. You know what changed a week ago, don't you? So I guess you know what is the origin of the problem from the very beginning. You have a lead with this feather workaround. You have exactly everything you need to diagnose and fix this bug. Then fix it!

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? pmoyer50 11/05/14 13:09
You are not alone.  The thumbnails are not loading on the You Tube page and the comments don't load on the videos. The more or less option for a description of the video does not work either.  I can play the videos and that's it.  I tried using Firefox as the browser.  On that the thumbnails load but the comments won't load.  It seems that people like me who have older Macs are experiencing this problem the most.  This problem started for me on 5/6/14.

1) Is this problem being addressed.
2) How soon may we expect it to be resolved.

None of the buttons work and none of the previews load.  This only happens when I'm signed into my account.  If I sign out and do a refresh, YouTube works like a charm.  Furthermore, this only happens at work and everything works like it should on my home computer.

I don't consider this topic "Answered" until we know how to solve it. Google is speedily becoming the most confusing, unpredictable and unstable social media platform in existence. There was a time when Google was Championed for its simple look and simple to use interfaces. What the hell has gone pear shaped???? I no longer know how many passwords and accounts I have with Google, what they're all for and who the hell can see anything I do, write etc. All the interfaces are confusing and lead all over the place and back again. Even this post a question 'section' - if is a 'section' and not another account (????) is confusing to use. One minute threads and comments are there, next they're flying away or disappearing and being juggled around. WHAT WAS ONCE THE BEST INTERFACE COMPANY IN THE WORLD HAS LOST ITS WAY - ADMIT IT!  
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Rumble Drums 11/05/14 19:05
I am not one of those technicians working on the problem that Google don't seem to realise they have. Namely that no notifications come along to tell you that they have updated Chrome and Youtube won't work on it. BUT, I may have found the answer for most of you. Don't go to 'About Google Chrome' in the 'Google Toolbox' menu to see if you have the latest version (because settings on your PC may not allow it to work properly or your Chrome files may be corrupted). Just go straight to the Google website and DOWNLOAD Chrome again. It will give you the latest version (uncorrupted files), only takes a few minutes and you won't lose anything. You will have to sign in again. In regard to COMMENTS NOT SHOWING and LOADS OF BUTTONS AND MENUS NOT WORKING it fixed it straight away.  
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Satoshi Tinoru 11/05/14 19:12

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? TruthAndMoreTruth 11/05/14 19:53
All of the video thumbnails on my home page stopped loading.
Also, all function buttons are unresponsive, but links still work. The comments section will not load.
This ONLY seems to affects Safari, Fire Fox seems to work fine ( I don't have Chrome installed).
No changes or updates were made to my system prior to this issue.

I've tried all of these fixes to no avail:

• Reset Safari, all boxes check.
• Ensured plug-ins were disabled (none installed).
• completely removed Safari (and it's library folder) and reinstalled from Apple's site.
• Updated flash player (this doesn't seem to be a flash issue as the videos play fine).
• Uninstalled flash completely, and reinstalled.
• Repaired disk permissions (twice).

Macbook Pro 10.6.8
Safari 5.1.10
 
To date, youtube and safari are NOT compatible.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? canar7 11/05/14 20:12
@ytLauren it has been one week and there has been no courtesy given to the millions of people who have problems with youtube .  I wonder whether the silence by Google and Youtube has been purposefully done.  It is only fair to inform the public of what's going on, why Safari users are being inconvenienced, and how long it will take to rectify the technical problem.  Overall, poor customer service.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? CJ Bloom 11/05/14 20:15

Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Gabriel 11/05/14 20:23
I've got the exact same problems! Thumbnails, comments, and buttons do not load at all. I'm on Google Chrome.

For some reason, "upload" works fine and as soon as that loads, the entire dashboard responds.

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Emet Chai 11/05/14 20:38
Well....everything is working again.  

I thought it went from bad to worse.  Any video I clicked on was muted and I could not unmute them.  So I dumped my cookies, emptied my cache, and reset Safari.  To my surprise everything was restored.  I hope the muted videos was a sign of the fix, and all is permanently back to normal.

Like others that posted here, I wasn't going to be driven to find another solution.  As hard as it was I chose to wait it out, and I'm glad I did.

Very grateful for the restore to normal operation!

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Rachel Reiss 11/05/14 21:30
Still not working for me. (Although the Feather Beta is working quite well.) When I leave Feather, it's the same as everyone else--no thumbnails, no share codes, no comments, none of the Google+ links at the top work, all I can do is play videos. I tried resetting Safari, and that didn't help either, so back to Feather.

I could switch browsers, I suppose, but I have Safari set up the way I like it, and I don't want to switch.

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? David Hauka 11/05/14 21:37
My Imac uses MAC OS 10.5.8 - I am using Safari 5.0.6, and cannot upgrade any further nor will current Chrome or Firefox browsers work. I hope google intends to keep youtube working with older browsers - there are a lot of people out here that cannot afford to upgrade.

Same problem with me.  I can't create new playlists or even open up my favorites any longer.  I can't add to favorites or watch later list.  I've been watching youtube a ton lately and want to organize my favorite videos to enhance my experience, but it just isn't working.  I will try the suggestions below.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Mr. WhatsHisFace 11/05/14 22:41
Just thought I'd let everyone here know. Using Chrome Plus (or CoolNovo), the problem is just as terrible and has been going on for about a week now. YouTube works fine on Chrome for me, but recent updates have made Chrome unbearable.

YouTube is 100% borked for anything but Chrome right now, probably including all other Chromium browsers (both CoolNovo and Dragon tested here). Chrome's usage of YouTube is apparently iffy right now as well.

It's just too bad, really.

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Suzuki Atlas 11/05/14 23:57
Yep, I have the same problem. For the last week. Also Youtube will not give me the option of picking which youtube account I want to use - I can pick between two accounts. 1 is my Gmail account username i can use on youtube, the other is my youtube username. I hope this gets fixed soon.

How come you have not answered any of our complaints about the comments not loading? From reading the complaints here on this forum it looks like the problem goes back more then a year, it has been happening for me about a month. Why is this not being addressed? Also, now when I click on a video to watch it loads the page but the video will not play unless I click on its title which is on the video screen and then it opens a new tab with only the video and it is a small sized video box. Why is this happening? You guys have absolutely ruined Youtube, it is problem after problem and changes after changes which most people do not like! Some things just do not need to be improved but you guys have taken it to a whole new level of overkill to a product!! What a shame...

Same here, a lot of videos I have not been able to add. Very frustrating...
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? cmillerlm 12/05/14 03:54
I have just tried to post a new discussion question as follows:

"This is NOT a duplicate.

Can you please explain to me why the following thread is being marked as "Answered" ?

https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/youtube/nQ-eI0VeVXQ%5B1-25-false%5D

This problem has NOT been resolved and the question is NOT answered.

This issue has been going on for SEVEN days now.

Please can you remark the issue as NOT ANSWERED and can you please give us the courtesy of an update as to why this problem has now been ongoing for more than a week and please give us some idea when it might be fixed?

Also please do not tell me that this is a duplicate, this is a separate issue.

When will Youtube be working as normal for the millions of us who use Safari?"

Hopefully we will get some kind of response / update as to when Google might be fixing this issue.

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? kuncookies 12/05/14 05:21
me too i hope this is fixed soon.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? pan okome 12/05/14 05:32
「Try something new!」is something wrong!?
In case of my youtube page, upload button is only worked. Then, on upload page view, 「 Try something new! 」 click on youtube page bellow.  And then, select  Feather 「Try it out」.
So,  maybe the video thumbnails will be seen.  But, I don't know Why are the other buttons suddenly not working, and the video thumbnails are disappeared ?
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Jim X 12/05/14 07:49
We shouldn't have to download anything over a problem like this that should be fixed by now.

And to the technicians working on this, forgive me if I'm asking a lot or if I'm asking the same thing everyone else is, but please enlighten us--what's keeping you guys?

I have the same problem
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? durhamtelly 12/05/14 14:29
I am suffering all of the same problems too!

It is all part of Googles game to get us to switch from Safari, each day Youtube functionality is reduced on Safari. Youtube has been telling users for along time now to switch browsers, so that Youtube is supported correctly.

There is obviously a major issue between Google & Apple, perhaps regarding adblocking on Apple products?

I figure that, this is Googles way of getting Apple to make the changes that it wants.

Sod the incon, that it causes loyal Youtubers.

I use chrome for Youtube now & video plays much better. But I still use Safari for everything else including Google search.

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Frank Kintz 12/05/14 15:02
I am a loyal Mac user since Apple 11.  Yesterday I fired up my old laptop Windoz Vista. I use Safari browser. Screen came up "This browser is no longer supported by YouTube. Please chose Chrome, Firefox, IE or Oprah. I downloaded Firefox and deleted IE and Chrome. I just downloaded Firefox on my Mac. I have never and will never allow Chrome on my Mac. In the future I will not use Google as a search engine.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Gabriel 12/05/14 15:24
Haha, it worked! Turns out Google Chrome had this weird glitch that disabled the auto-updater.

It was at version 27 I believe. Make sure your browser is up-to-date just in case!

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Heinz Leigh 12/05/14 16:03
Has there been any progress?  Any updates on when this will be fixed?
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? e simpson 12/05/14 16:22
Can you give us an update on this issue. I've been having the same issues with video thumbnails and non working buttons since May 6. My system won't allow me to update to any of the newer browsers. Thanks for your help.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Binguh Bungah 12/05/14 16:24
why is it that the customer/consumer has to have the latest greatest whatever, which of course is an impossible requirement as all this shit gets upgraded/changed/re-arranged/"versioned" every six months- and generally doesnt shit straight outta the box and needs reems of code to fix what was promised in the 1st place! some of us arent fetishistic about technology. we buy something AND EXPECT IT TO LAST/BE USEFUL FOR MORE THAN 18 MONTHS!! you know, like relationships and grandmas used to be... I didnt pay 2 grand for a laptop 5 yrs ago to be obsolete before I fille the hard drive. if the big sites are already running older versions, and has the time and space to keep tabs for the NSA/CIA/MI6 what-have-you, why not _*just add*_ the "new and improved" lump of shit to the existing  "almost there" piece of shit that finally got working since the last upgrade? or does that not work with the "peace and security" fascist shiesters scanning hardware/software?
and if youre having problems or just outright not supporting something, how about a little teaser/spoiler alert on the home page to tell us that something is up? instead of having us ripping up our computers and hair for hours trying to figure out what you have purposefully done! yeah- for really,dude- that easy! so much for multi-billion dollar sub-con damage control agency. I wouldnt be half as pissed if the "like I give a shit" dept. had the common sense/courtesy to tell us not to take a shit BEFORE we did- and then flushed the plugged toilet to overflowing. I mean, you DID know you WERE about to do something that potentially left us swinging in the wind didnt you? or didnt you get the memo..? whoever should get the pink slip- they shit the bed on this one. like, how long have y'all been doing this anyway?
sorry to shit all over you like this but I think a little flak for such lame-assed handling is highly appropriate for the bullshit y'all make us put up with since the google grist monster took over. ya literally need the "latest greatest/new and improved" genetically modified bio-mega-tech wings to just to stay waist deep out of it. it been DAYS without so much as a heads-up. starts to look like an F1 yourself ya 1-D-I0-T.
Sincerely,
Someone who makes way less money but apparently has twice "the collectives" brains

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? angel98 12/05/14 17:33
I can't click on share, either. And, no comments are enabled...just the hour glass thing. Is this being worked on too?
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? hilldweller559 12/05/14 17:34
Thank you Jafromobile!  Your suggestion worked for me, at least to access my account and subscriptions.  (See Pg 9 of this thread):

Jafromobile Level 3     May 8

A temporary fix is to access your YouTube Inbox which everyone has forgotten how to do since the frustrating advent of Google+.  Whatever bad code is on your home page and channel isn't on that page yet.  I say yet because the last 6 months have me convinced that it's inevitable.

If you don't know how to do this, be logged into your YouTube account and go here:
https://www.youtube.com/inbox

You'll find the broken google notifier and the broken shortcut links that bring up 
        •        My Channel
        •        Video Manager
        •        Subscriptions
        •        YouTube settings
ARE STILL WORKING.

If you just navigate in to your default www.youtube.com, indeed, that page is FUBAR'd.  There's remnants of this catastrophe all throughout the rest of the pages, though.  If you liked this advice, go subscribe to Jafromobile and learn how to build 500hp AWD imports as well.  ;)

This is just me but on my computer, it looks like everything's actually back to normal! Thumbnail images, comments, features, again it's just me as far as I can see. Thanks technicians! Sorry if I sounded impatient in my earlier posts.

Actually, there still seems to be a few problems I found. My "What to Watch" looks normal but quite a few channels that I subscribed to are gone...

thank you technicians!!
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? T.K. Archibald 12/05/14 19:18
Thank you techs for working on it and fixing the issue (at least from a Safari user standpoint).

As this is the first time I've used the "groups" or even "posting a question", my feedback is this:

-I recommend updating people at least on a daily basis. I guarantee there would be a lot less pissing and moaning from people. Open lines of communication are of the utmost importance.

-The feedback button doesn't really work, might want to put that on a to-do list.

-The reply system could use some work. There needs to be a way of distinguishing a reply to certain people and the OP.

My two cents. Again, thank you for taking care of the original problem at hand.

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Tony Medici 12/05/14 19:26
All's well that ends well. Thank you to the techs that got it working again.  I guess I can cancel my meeting with Sergei Brin next week to discuss it  ;-)
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? BubbleRevolution 12/05/14 19:49
It's started working for me, but now the size of my video player is too large. Whenever I press the button, it just changes the position of the player.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? drainide 12/05/14 20:26
Yes! back up and running for me on my good ole Safari.

Took me half a second to realize and be happy again yay

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Phil Glenn 13/05/14 05:02
please hurry this no thumbnail thing is driving me crazy
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Tony Medici 13/05/14 05:18
I totally support T.K. Archibald's suggestions:


-I recommend updating people at least on a daily basis.

-The feedback button doesn't really work, might want to put that on a to-do list.

-The reply system could use some work. There needs to be a way of distinguishing a reply to certain people and the OP.

Great recs.

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Bogdan Tomi 13/05/14 06:44
You fixed it for me guys! Thanks a bunch. Chrome on Ubuntu 12.04
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Abigail Firth 13/05/14 07:30
I'm assuming this has been fixed on safari as mine works just fine now :)
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Jim X 13/05/14 08:02
I'm glad that I can use Youtube again but why are so many of my subscribed channels "no longer available"? I mean, I can still find them online through my phone, just not on the Mac that I'm using right now.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Joe Substalae 13/05/14 10:57
Just checked youtube and my playlist buttons now work.  Haven't checked everything, but I assume other features are working as well.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? ytLauren 13/05/14 15:48
As many of you have already noticed, we fixed the issue where thumbnails and other buttons were not loading. Thank you for your patience!
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Rachel Reiss 13/05/14 12:14
Yep, working for me, too--thank you, the effort is much appreciated!
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Jack Diver 13/05/14 13:35

Thank you so much.  Computers can be a pain sometimes, but it's so nice when you get them working again.

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Jim X 13/05/14 18:49
Again, here's the NEW problem that I've encountered, but it's not as bad as the last one we talked about here. A lot of Youtube channels are unavailable to me, but are clearly still active. Anyone else experience that?
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Dan of the Highlands 13/05/14 18:50
Not enough appreciation is being shown here.  I saw this issue for several days, so I know that this took a lot of time and focus to fix.  Please be assured that your efforts are very appreciated.

Cheers!

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Jim X 13/05/14 19:49
Believe me I'm grateful for their help but I would like to know about the problem behind unavailable Youtube channels.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? MomoeKaitenMokuba . 13/05/14 20:57
Thanks for fixing it! Everything is working now!

I don't understand what people mean by some channels being unavailable. I looked at my subscriptions and everything seems fine.

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Jim X 13/05/14 21:23
Then its prob. just me.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Joshua stubbs 13/05/14 23:48
Well I have been having problems with my you tube channel not been having my comments appear on other peoples videos and now none do. My channel is https://www.youtube.com/user/EUNECTES7
If you can fix it thanks I will be thankfull
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Joshua stubbs 13/05/14 23:56
Well Have been having problems where my comments won't show to any other videos and people can't see them but this is with all of them please help. https://www.youtube.com/user/EUNECTES7

Thanks for the fix.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Tony Medici 14/05/14 07:17
Most everything is working but not the View Count on My Channel is not working,even though I can see individual vids are showing increasing views.  ANyone experience this?  More important, anyone know of a fix?
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Jim X 14/05/14 08:32
Hey the channels are available again! Thanks again, Google!
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? MomoeKaitenMokuba . 14/05/14 11:06
It worked lovely for a couple of hours this afternoon, but now when I go to my subscriptions page it takes 30 seconds for the thumbnails to appear - during those 30 seconds the CPU stays on 100%. What's it doing during those 30 seconds?

When I search for something the thumbnails appear but the page is frozen for 30 seconds with the CPU on 100%. Annoying.

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Hey, I'm JC 14/05/14 13:38
so I removed feather from Safari and now YouTube appears to be working
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Binguh Bungah 14/05/14 15:09
you got that daa-a-amn straight!
these jerk-offs expect us to have their latest greatest piece of shit (hardware/software/firmware) that doesnt work to upgrade from the last piece of shit they just got most of the bugs out of!
and people actually wonder why a good and just loving God would have a hell! they actually wonder?!?!?
its the same people who seriously ask this question that will end up there and wonder why! hahaha!
and their answer will be: you didnt get with the LATEST PROGRAM! BWAH!HAHAHAHA!
now start writing code maggot...lots-n-lots of code...foreveah!
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Philscbx 15/05/14 21:04
Right - Safari on 10.6.8 plus adobe update and all is well again -
But I was worried for a couple days.

I went through all the worthless YouTube Support links one after the other -
and finally discover it's being fixed.

I've never seen this page before - Apple Support sent me here.
There was no YouTube link to get here - but I'll look if missed.

What's really sad - Why not put a banner at top of page for when the site knows there's a problem when we show up.

Vimeo does - it's the first thing You see.
"Safari 5.1 no longer supported."

I can understand if only robots came to research videos with IQ disadvantages -
Obvious, no mystery to the point.

Thanks

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Itai Simon 16/05/14 02:01
Dear ytLauren. The problem hasn't been fixed. It's still there.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Hey, I'm JC 16/05/14 08:26
Well now YouTube is working, it just doesn't show your subscriptions when you click on a video
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Itai Simon 16/05/14 11:40
Nope. Still now working. Though now when clicking LIKE the video will add to your "liked videos".
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? purpleartifice 16/05/14 16:15
I still can't open my unread notification. it simply never loads no mater how often i log out or restart my browser. sometimes i can't use the search function in the forums, and sometimes the comments never load. who's idea was it to make every page use up MORE memory? this doesn't seem like progress at all.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Big_J_NY 16/05/14 17:26
Yeah, I'm still having this issue
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Christopher Pitts 17/05/14 03:24
thumbnails now load with a delay. when i open a tab for my subscription box at https://www.youtube.com/feed/subscriptions

the whole page loads about instantly. the thumbnails do not load for an extra 10 seconds though. during that 10 seconds my browser (chrome) decides it doesn't want to do anything. no scrolling for 10 seconds, only able to switch to another tab. this has only ban issue the past couple weeks. fix thissssss

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? MomoeKaitenMokuba . 17/05/14 06:08
The same was happening to me in chrome but for me it was 30 seconds not 10!

I just solved it though!

I have the Adblock Plus addon. Once I turned that off it stopped freezing on the subscriptions page or when I do a search.

For anyone having the same problem try turning off your addons and see if youtube still freezes, and if that solves it re-enable your addons one by one to see which one is causing it.

I keep deleting browser history, cache, etc. and keeps occuring.
Kepp checking that all items, Java, etc. are upt to date.

Still not working for me as of today.
Chrome browser Version 34.0.1847.137 m
Windows 8.1 64-bit
Everthing updated to latest versions.
Does this with all extension disabled or enabled- no diffrence either way.
Continually clearing history, cache, etc. to no avail
Tried multiple changes within the browser settings- no diff.
Only does this on Youtube. Very frustrating.

I am still getting this issue (or at least a similar one) using Firefox on Windows. Thumbnails and comments are not loading and some buttons on the player (such as enlarge player) aren't working until the thumbnails and comments load.
They take a considerable time to load while the player and everything else works normally. This issue has been happening for a couple of weeks.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Yeul Paddra Nsu 25/05/14 09:43
My "Load more" History button is still not working.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? PjInOH 25/05/14 18:30
I have FireFox 29.0.1 and just the other day the dead [Load more] button has 'moved' or now appears after a number of auto-loads with my Subs.   And yes, I noticed some of the video icons/thumbs do not always load. 

What I do is hit the [End] key and go back up and the images appear.    Sigh.  Yet another YouTube bug? 

Everything else appears to work OK for me:  Comments, all other buttons, etc. 



Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Hey, I'm JC 27/05/14 18:17
Youtube is working fine for me I don't know if this is another technical issue but what is with the Youtube layout? It looks off center or centered too much 
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Hey, I'm JC 27/05/14 18:19
*the centering issue only seems to act this way when I increase the size of the screen so from 110% to 125%

We are simply discriminated against for using Mac.
Seriously nothing works on my Mac with Google products and I have reason to believe this is for a reason.
Google wants us to convert to their products.
It is really issue after issue with these Google people.

First we had to create a Google+ profile page
Then it gave us 2 Google+ pages for some reason (probably to increase their user count)
Then we figure out how to get rid of the second account
which in turn breaks the other account for some reason.
Now YouTube won't even work on our computers.

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Michael Kohan 14/06/14 21:10
I am still having this problem. Is there anything I can do client-side to fix it? Thanks!
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? iPartyHardcore 01/07/14 23:19
I would also like to know when we will get a fix. There are so many problems with Google right now that have been going on for ages now.
The app launcher buttons disappeared on my account and I only have Google+ and Youtube as an option.
No Gmail no GoogleDrive option. Which of course it appears Google wants to force its users to use only Goggle products that will get them money.

I think the only fix is going back to the old YouTube layout. We should of stuck with that one it had no issues it was simple and easy to load. Now we have all this try to hover over while scrolling to find someone in your subscriptions nonsense going on.

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Hmilstein7 02/07/14 15:26
The subscriber button on one of my channels has no been working for a month...... Not ONE subscription in 5 weeks even with new material added

The "Show more" button on comments is not working when you go to "Newest first". This is an annoying bug that needs to be fixed. Also, the bell notification is not showing the red number icon and the subtitle options are in the video settings instead of the caption button.

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Kazumi Hope 26/12/14 09:05
It just started two or so weeks ago for me, I thought it was my extension problem as random ads tab keep pop-ping up too even if I didn't click on anything. I switched off my extension and uninstall every one of it incase of malware but nothing seemed to helped. Even reinstalled all my required plug ins.
At first, youtube, I just couldn't click on things like 'load/read/see more' but it gradually became worst. As of now I couldn't even click on the theater-mode button, my comments wouldn't load, I can't click on playlist or the subscribe button too! It is driving me nuts as I cannot find any help from the solutions posted that I found and that I've tried. Can someone please enlighten me about the kind of problem that I'm facing?

Mac Mavericks system, Safari (system up to date)

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? BrucePK 06/07/15 00:19
I have had some similar issues that I asked about on the Apple side since I use Safari.
My problems only seem relevant to Safari, things work on Chrome, or FireFox.

Here is what I asked:

I've put this question out there a couple times now and got nothing but delete Flash files

and clear cache.  That doesn't work.

 

Since, maybe 6 months now, I think coincident with the release of Yosemite, but it might

have been before Safari is acting really weird.

 

1 - Safari is sluggish when other browsers are not.

       The video will not stop playing sometimes and even if I click the screen or pause it

        takes a long time to react.  Also, if I click the back button it just sits there playing

        the video often I have to click several times.

 

2 -  If I click in the comment window, the text says opening, but it goes on and on and

       never shows the cursor so I can enter a comment.

 

3 - If I do get a cursor, and this is not only in You-Tube but in some other websites, in

      fact it is happening right here right now, the cursor disappears and I don't know

      where I am in the text port.

 

  4 - Finally, if I try to cut and paste the cursor goes crazy and pops out of the text port

        and the web page scrolls up to the top and I have to scroll back down to find

        where I am in the page again.

 

None of these problems show up with Chrome or Firefox.

 

I dont know why, but I would prefer to use Safari, the Apple browser.

 

Does anyone else notice problems like these.  Try going to the You-Tube website

and seeing if you can enter a comment in a text port there?  This is really starting to

bug me after months now.  I thought it was just a minor annoyance and would be

fixed with some updates, but it also happens across my machines ... 2 iMacs,

1 Macbook, and a MacMini - but I don't use that much.  All are current updated

always, and all on Yosemite.

 

I have no extensions enabled, have cleared my cache and deleted Flash data

many times.  The cursor problems I am seeing on several other sites, even

including there.

I would use safari but every time I got on any website my browser gets spammed with adds, and my addblock crasher making my safari to quit unexpectedly so I can't use safari, also I just prefer Chrome as a browser. But it keeps glitching on Youtube.... and some other websites

I'm listening to a song on my phone and all of the sudden, I can't hit pause or make it full screen and I can't change the song. It's like my fingers basically stop working and I can't click. But I can click on stuff outside the app so I don't think it's a screen problem

I have installed one GIS software and that needed to install some java updates/version. I think after that it has stopped working, even links at the torrent site doesnt respond

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Parth Tailor 15/09/15 07:23
could it be because of the java ?
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Penotia Sesquai 15/09/15 10:56
Hi to YouTube Help Forum - the problem I'm having started about a week ago and began suddenly.  When I use the '+channelname' function in a comment to alert someone to see my comment, the name is no longer highlighted in blue. Also, the prompt does not work within a current comment, that is the channel owner doesn't get my message/comment alert. Does anyone know why this happened? Thanks! Penotia
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Roger. 28/09/15 11:19
It's happening again , it's not fixed at all or was reintroduced in an update. It's like the "ytimg" server locks up for 20 or 30 seconds every minute or so. During the "waiting for ytimg" lock up, none of the images load and most of the buttons will not function even if the page is refreshed over and over. All video's play normally even if surrounded by blank thumbnails and never ending loading circles (that aren't loading anything). This exact symptom (blank thumbnails, comments not loading, buttons not working and needing to repeatedly hit the refresh button until the lockup error has passed) has been happening sporadically for more than a year.

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? GH Vlad 15/10/15 18:28
SOLVED!!!! It started to affect my browser a couple of days ago. (the youtube "show more" buttons stopped working and some times it wouldn't let me sign in/ log in to certain sites). I figured out that this is caused by ad programs that are sneaking into safari.

I downloaded the Malwarebytes Anti Malware soft ---> run the scan -----> delete the adware files and that's it. it's straight forward and the software is free. Also make sure you install the AdBlocker extension in safari. It does some of the work too. Hope this works for you guys!

Massive lag in the thumbnails loading and the buttons do nothing till the thumbnails are loaded.

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? 00BRENDEN 00LAUER 03/11/15 06:28
Son of a bitch the reminder button isn't working now. Tried on a computer at home and a computer at school and the thing's just broken on both. You can click it alright, just don't expect it to do anything. THE most frustrating thing.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? [adresse e-mail] 16/11/15 08:56
Had problems with this for months but i found out the problem was malware that i managed to remove, now its working!

When will you fix your shit?, I thought you were the most innovative companies on the planet... but you can't get youtube to work on a mac?!
when i fullscreen and exit fullscreen it just makes the window smaller while having the video still in fullscreen... 60% of the time youtube doesn't load anything. and sometime it just won't open at all unless you go to another website first...


Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Klaus Strasser 29/12/15 04:23



I have this issue too and I always thought that I was the only one having this problem.
This are the problems:
There are problems with Google-services and Youtube on Safari 50% of the time. Firefox works perfectly. However, I want to stay on Safari, because the scrolling is much smoother than on other browsers and the gestures are great too.

How can I fix this sh*t?

No, you have NOT fixed this issue.
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Klaus Strasser 30/12/15 09:37

I have these issues everyday and it gets very annoying! Youtube doesn't work 50% of the time on safari.
This is what is looks right now... Most of the times it freezes and then it works 10 minutes later and then it freezes again...


Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? button poker 30/12/15 18:52
Try a different browser I had real problems with Firefox and switched to Pale Moon. I don't seem to have as many problems now, touch wood.

I am also having this problem now on Google Chrome and Safari. It's been going on for 4 days. An update from either Youtube or Google would be greatly appreciated.

I also experience this for example:
- I am unable to edit my comment once I comment
- my show more and load more buttons do not work
- sometimes when I click "theater mode" the video itself expands as if it is in theater mode but everything else is still in default view and the video itself is framed as if it where still in default view. Because of this I am unable to set it back or on full screen because since the video expanded and it still looks default view the buttons for default view and fullscreen expanded off the video.

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? PlayF1 Manager 01/08/16 03:06
Also... I've tried chrome on my linux box.
The same Youtube problems are occurring
I tried to log in to uoutube using Firefox, and it wouldn't log in.

What is going wrong?

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? PlayF1 Manager 01/08/16 18:28
LOL.... just tried to watch Youtube in chrome, and couldn't get the sound to work :D
I ended up watching youtube in firefox...... funny.... firefox is better than chrome, yet youtube is part of google.

2016..... a strange year ;)

Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? Raymond Khoo 02/08/16 05:40
Luckily I am not the only one. I thought something went wrong on my computer. I was previously watching a Video on Chrome and after the video finished, all the buttons(except next vid button) are not working. Even the right side menu is not working. I couldn't even press the remove video button on the history section. 
Re: Why are the buttons suddenly not working? PlayF1 Manager 02/08/16 06:49
Ha..... yes that kind of makes me happy too, knowing that it isn't just me.
Thanks Raymond for posting that :)

Yes.... I just tested again.
The button that does work is the next video >I
Upload works
YouTube logo works

Bell doesn't work.
Thumbs don't work.
Left Top options NO
Subscribe NO
Settings NO
Unmute NO ....... that's the killer.
Show More NO
Add To, share, & More NO.
View all replies NO

Everything works okay in Firefox.

The strange thing though with Firefox, was the youtube login.
I clicked my account the password showed up momentarily, then disappeared.

So I just repetitively clicked until boom....... I was in.
After that.... Youtube in Firefox is working fine.

I'm gonna run malware, to see if it finds anything.

Can it be at my end?
The mouse works on all other apps.

Malwarebytes found nothing.
It's weird.

I'm having the same problem, but not on Firefox.  Google is the one with the problem.  I have a new Mac, updated to the latest version of El Capitan.  What is going on.  All the buttons have functionality on FIREFOX.  What the heck, GOOGLE>>>>??
