How it Works

You tube.

Why is it that 90% of the you-tube videos that people post on AB come up as "Sorry, this video is no longer available" yet everyone else can view them?

Because videos like that contain copyright material which the copyright holder will have asked to have had removed.

The example you provided is a video made by a band called Modern Talking. I doubt very much that the person who upload the video made it and so it should be removed.

That seems fine to me as the embed option is still on. Where do you have trouble watching it? Is it a link on another website?

I have trouble on the you-tube site, links posted on AB, links in on-line newspapers etc.
I am in Essex.

When I check my javascript it says that I don't have the latest version.
When I try to up-load the latest version my computer gives an alert saying there is a virus risk and not to proceed.
Can someone give me a link to a site where I can safely up-load the latest version?
Thanks for your patience and advice.

Squarebear. I did that and now have the latest version.
It didn't improve things at all.
Back where I started.
I hope tonyted had better luck!
