iPhone TIPS: Fix "Cannot Connect to YouTube"

Wow, I reported in my last post that my YouTube App was not working after the upgrade of my iPhone 2G to OS3 plus jailbreaking an Unlocking it with Redsn0w. Good news, I have a fix that worked for me and it simple like 1,2,3. The main problem was that my system time was wrong. It is obviously necessary to have a correct system time on your iPhone 2G before the YouTube servers are willing to accept your connections. Here is what helped me fixing the "Cannot Connect to YouTube" issue. I said it was simple because you need to set the iPhone clock to the correct current time ,date and year.
1. Tap settings
2. Tap General
3. In General scroll down to the bottom
4. Tap Date & Time
5. In Date & Time, tap Set Date & Time
6. Tap the , , button


7. Set the correct month day year via the big dial below
8. Tap the button
9. Set the correct current time
10. done.
In my situation the YouTube app started to work straight away. I also retested it by setting the iPhone clock back to a wrong date in 2001, and I can confirm that YouTube doesn't work anymore by complaining with the "Cannot Connect to YouTube"
I hope this fix will fix your YouTube app as well. Leave a message here or twitter me or both.
Good luck!

  1. This doesn´t help.
    My date and time is correct (for Sweden).
    Maybe it has to match the date and time of some server in the US?
    ReplyDelete
  2. I don't think it has to match a server in the US, because I have set Timezone to my local timezone which is NOT an US timezone.

  3. Hi, doesn't work for me. My date and time were already correct. What DID work for me, was going to Safari on the iPhone and watching a youtube video through the youtube.com website. Then went back to youtube.app and it worked. Still a bit hit and miss though, sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. But I'm not really bothered. Will be getting a 3GS as soon as they come out in NZ...

  4. Please check the "Year" make sure this is 2009. Somehow this was changed to 2001 on my 2G.!
    Note: I used Redsn0w 0.7 for mac after upgrade to Os 3.0
    ReplyDelete
  5. The date, time and year are correct (for Sweden)

    I have a iPhone 2G, I hacked it with redsn0w 0.7 on mac.

    Tried accessing video´s through safari youtube, but they all are marked as not playable.
    So that trick didn´t work either..
    ReplyDelete
  6. I also have the same problem and my time is correct. I wonder if it have anything to do with the redsn0w version. I unlocked with redsn0w 0.7 but now they have redsn0w 0.7.1 and redsn0w 0.7.2

    Maybe I will try to restore my device and unlock with the latest redsn0w to see what happens.

    did this work for anyone??

  7. I have a 2g iPhone that was unlocked and jailbriken with quick pwn. When I updated it was still unlocked, but all jailbriken apps were gone. The only thing that doesn't work now, is the YouTube app. I tried adjusting date and time. And it doesn't work in safari either. I don't know what to do Now.

  13. Same problem, restored the iPhone in different ways and youtube didn't work. My date was correct, but looking at the posts I tried the following: changed my year to 2001 (and timezone to Cupertino), then went back to home screen, youtube still didn't work. Then I changed the year back to 2009 (and correct time zone) and then youtube started working again!

  14. you are the greatest
    thank you
    ReplyDelete
  15. I tried the trick with the year, but it didn't help. Keeps on saying: Cannot connect.
    Has anyone got it to work with an AT&T refurbished 2g phone ( no yailbreak)?
    It worked perfectly under 1.x and 2.x

  16. First generation iPhone upgraded to OS 3.0 via redsn0w and although the date is correct, YouTube does not work.
    I setted the time and time zone to a wrong one and after back. the problem is same.
    not work
    ReplyDelete
  17. holy shit thnx bro. it worked
    ReplyDelete
  18. putting it too right time zone,date and time works fine for iphone 2g with 3.0 firmware
    ReplyDelete
  19. This problem is known as pushfix and it's caused when upgrading a hacked phone to version 3.1.2. Whenever you want to access youtube, whether you use the youtube application on your iphone or safari browser you will see a grey logo with an arrow instead of a preview from the video. It's shitty, and I really had to sort out what was the reason and how to solve it, but it's possible to fix this ! I wrote a tutorial to solve this problem. A work with a first generation iphone but it should also work with next generations.
