Cannot Download From Youtube


miodo2009

Recommended Posts

In the past I used Realplayer to download clips from Youtube, but for unknown reasons I got the message "unable to download" on a Realplayer window. I reinstalled Realplayer, but to no avail.

Then I installed other download programmes like GOMplayer and VLC player but then I even didn't see a download button appear above the Youtube clips.

It can't be that difficult to solve this problem...What could be the cause and what to do ?

Do you mean something like this? This would allow you to, easily, download the clip from youtube for later or offline viewing.

Just installed it and after restarting Firefox and opening Youtube, I don't see a download button.

A few weeks ago I installed "1-click Youtube Video downloader", also an add-on : same story.

What went wrong ?

just looked at it , i used to use real player pro myself, its only giving you the option to download to imusic or itunes could you not down load to itunes the to ipod ? or maybe you need to upgrade to realplayer pro ? it automatically downloads for you.

u tube have changed their page layout , is it that you cannot find the download button ?

I am unable to download from YouTube using Google Chrome but I can when I use Explorer 7.

Try using Explorer rather than Chrome see if that works.

Have a great day.

It looks like I'm able to download clips now, after downloading almost every possible download program.

Thanks !

P.S. : clips are being downloaded to desktop... :)

As stated above the clips are now being downloaded by GOMplayer to desktop. I have been looking extensively into preferences etc. of this program about how to change this, but didn't find an answer.

Firefox "tools-options" says : "save files to downloads" so not to "desktop".

How to solve this ?

In the meantime, try these 2 links;

I used the complete URL because info in the page is relevant to this thread.

"Flashgot" is a small & simple Firefox "add-on". Once installed, one does not need to fiddle about with searching for & renaming temporary files. It is excellent if used with "DownloadThemAll".
