Cant watch Youtube clips on my iMac

[chrono24]

Hello,

I can't watch youtube clips on my iMac, I've run all of the software updates and still no luck.

Your assistance is much appreciated.

Could be that you've been put in the HTML5 trial - it doesn't play nice with Safari.

Go to www.youtube.com/html5 and opt out and see if that fixes it.

If you bought your Mac recently (or any time after they were shipping with Lion) you have to install flash yourself. Apple no longer has Flash preinstalled. I would also recommend CLick2Flash ( http://hoyois.github.com/safariextensions/clicktoplugin/ ) to keep tight control over flash.
