Ever since youtube changed their page layout or w/e when i look at anything it just freezes the whole page or as soon as it loads you can hear stuff but the whole page freezes. what could be causing this to happen. And i have a mac btwWhat is wrong with my youtube ?The cause of your problem is simple: your %26quot;cache%26quot;
memory %26amp; %26quot;temporary internet files%26quot; are nearly full.
This is especially true if you've been watching lots
of videos or playing a lot of games/music.
If you are experiencing either: A) slugglish loading
or buffering, B) that %26quot;spinning circle%26quot; looking like it
could seemingly go on forever, C) %26quot;choppy%26quot; videos
that start/stop/start/stop frequently, D) videos that
sometimes come to a complete freeze or perhaps
E) videos with good audio, but slow (or no) picture...
Exit out of YouTube (but not your browser) and do
one of the steps below. Afterwards, shutdown and
reboot. Not only will this %26quot;free up%26quot; your computer's
memory, everything will be %26quot;fresh%26quot;, and load faster:
Apple Safari 3:
鈫?Edit 鈫?Preferences
鈫?Security (tab) 鈫?Show Cookies
鈫?Remove All 鈫?Done
after that:
鈫?Safari 鈫?Empty Cache 鈫?Empty
after that:
鈫?History 鈫?Clear History
Apple Safari 4:
鈫?Safari 鈫?Reset Safari
[x] Clear history
[x] Empty the cache
[x] Clear the downloads window
[x] Remove all cookies
鈫?Reset
DON'T FORGET TO SHUT DOWN AND REBOOT
AFTER DOING ONE OF THE ABOVE.
If you have other applications which are running at
the same time, those will slow down YouTube too.
If you have %26quot;Torrents%26quot;, you might want to consider
closing or uninstalling them. A couple people who
chose me as %26quot;Best Answer%26quot; wrote that everything
worked great after they'd uninstalled their Torrents.
For some reason, simply closing them didn't work.
Also, %26quot;Adblock Plus%26quot;, various Instant Messengers
and literally every %26quot;stupid video accelerator%26quot; under
the sun is known to interfere with YouTube.
Another thing you may want to consider is turning
off your anti-virus -- but only momentarily. As long
as you remain on YouTube (and do not wander off
to other websites), you will be okay, because you
cannot get a virus from YouTube.
And lastly, you can easily check your speed here:

I have a PC, but this sounds like a question you should send youtube itself.What is wrong with my youtube ?maybey your flash player is unresponsive, mine did this and constantly froze, if you leave it too long the plug in will crash, try a new one: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/What is wrong with my youtube ?This is a problem with the new youtube layout and opera and safari seem to be the ones suffering the most. Hopefully youtube/google will fix it themselves soon but until then, there are three fixes I know of for Opera if that is what you are using:
1)
Create a custom javascript workaround here: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/youtube/thread?tid=46dd241356fbad51%26amp;hl=en
2)
change the url in the address bar to the embedded url
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkdsOWfSXME
^- Link does not work give you %26quot;upgrade%26quot; error
change it to:
http://www.youtube.com/v/qkdsOWfSXME
^- Now it will work.
3)
Block %26quot;www-core-new-vfl160018.js%26quot; from running on youtube
1.Go to youtube
2.Right click
3.Select %26quot;Block content%26quot;
4.Select %26quot;Details%26quot;
5.Select %26quot;add%26quot;
3.Paste this -%26gt; http://s.ytimg.com/yt/jsbin/www-core-new-vfl160018.js
4.Press %26quot;Close%26quot;
5.Press %26quot;Done%26quot;
The second option should work for you in Safari if its the same problem. There may be a way to block content in Safari for option 3 but I do not know how. If I have time I will look it up and edit this comment but until then you may want to do a search.
