Ok so there’s no one logged in and by the sounds of it, you don’t have an Apple account. I think if you go to sign in it will give you an option to create an Apple ID which will at least allow you to manage the iPad. Have you put anything on there yet you don’t want to lose? Have you set up the email client or anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoothorn Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 @daiking ..then if i click on this, it says 'sign in with your apple id' . Ive no idea what this means / what it is, how to do, or implications of it are, etc.. especially regarding the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daiking Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Back to first problem, forget the Apple ID thing. In safari, too right click on the icon I’m showing below. Then select “Private” then click + for a new page. The browser address bar should be black. Go to YouTube and try the video again on this page.

zoothorn Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 @daiking i think its better and thanks alot ; tho i just had my doc playing behind audibly during my reply above, but now i dip out of it back to this window (just as i did before and it just continued to play) and This time it stops simultaneously, i dip back to it and there's no dreaded buffering, its just frozen, not even the pause btn on. But it does then just start by itself.. so that's fine. A bit odd. So what has this way to use it proved exactly i wonder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No dreaded buffering. So just a q of getting used to doing it this way. Much appreciated daiking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoothorn Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 By the way, the youtube doc i was watching (and so enthused to get running right, as its 1 of a 6 part series, and possibly the best doc ive ever seen) is this wonderful, comprehensive, totally absorbing one on Easter Island. (Makes the history channel look a joke).. "6. Easter Island - Where Giants Walked" I cant do copy paste on it yet! cheers zh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you read the blurb on the blank private browsing page, it’s telling you that private browsing is like using a blank slate every time you access a page and it doesn’t remember any info afterwards. That it works this way tells us there’s nothing fundamentally wrong with safari or the iPad. Just that there something in the information it has stored that is causing a temporary conflict when you access YouTube. You should try clearing the cookies to see if that helps use YouTube on the normal safari page. i would suggest you create an Apple ID at some point soon as this will allow you to use the iPad properly. You’ll likely want to install other apps and at the very least you will need to update the apps you have and the operating system in due course.

daiking Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I get a similar issue with safari on my iPhone when using Twitter. Doesn’t happen for weeks, then every couple of days it won’t load Twitter unless I use a private browser. Then after a day or so normal safari works. Like Zoo here I should probably be using the relevant app instead of a browser. I don’t “fix” the problem because it’s annoying to lose the browsing history.

Hi daiking, ok kapiche the 1st para (I didn't see any blurb to read but will find it).. up to 'clearing cookies'. If I'm happy using like this in a private window, and I presume I'm using ipad properly enough if I'm doing all I need to, is there any need for me to create apple ID? I mean I dont need or want to buy an apps and like my laptop, doesn't it just do it automatically? or you just click 'yes'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
