YouTube viewable on Ipad & Iphone
Aug 8, 2014 16:33:41 #
Recently posted slide show for a client and submitted to YouTube. Finished YouTube submission viewable on laptop or desktop, but NOT on iPad or iPhone. Client has asked that I correct so people can link up to the YouTube site and watch on any of the three digital product: computer, iPad or IPhone. I've researched and cannot find the procedure to follow to accomplish this, thereby fulfilling client request.
Help, Hogs!
Thanks.

Your problem is that Apple doesn't support Adobe Flash, which is what the vast majority of Youtube videos use to display themselves. Someday, all content will work as HTML5 or its successor, but for the time being Apple and Adobe are at war. If it's any consolation, they will play on an Android smartphone or tablet... The Apple heads here may know of a third party player you can have your clients install that will work for you.

Hi, PC. Thanks for the input. After my research, resulting in my beating my head against the wall, I was beginning to think along the lines of what you cited. In other words, it ain't gonna work. Anyway, thanks for your thoughtful, knowledgable response. As you pointed out, maybe some of the "apple heads" will have an alternate plan of attack, but I'm not holding my breath. Thanks again.

I use the free YouTube app on my iPad, downloadable from the Apple Store. No problem viewing anything on You Tube.

BigD, I don't know anything about the different video methods. I do know that i products won't use flash, BUT, that said I watch uTubes all the time on my iPhone. It's rare that there is a format that won't play. I have no idea how they are recoded, but they are genuine uTubes and I don't use any apps at all on them.
So I would certainly look a little deeper than you have.
Good luck

Yes, right. Same here. Do you have a nearby Apple Store? If so, seek the help of a genius at the Genius Bar ...
