Hi,

I'm having some issues with my subscriptions on youtube on my iPad.
Most of them won't load. When I click on one of my subscriptions, I get an 'Youtube is not available' error. This occurs with most of my subscriptions, but some others do load fine..
Anyone ever had a similar problem?
Btw I also didn't succeed in bluetooth tethering with ibluever:(
 
I have a similiar problem. When I go to my subscriptions I can see and play the new videos but the channels are not available.

The app is pretty useless for this if you ask me. I also don't understand why some videos that are available on a regular browser aren't available on the App either.
 
To view your subscription channels you have to go to a video from said subscriber and hit subscribe under the "more from" page on the YouTube app. Why? I don't know... it was an inconvenience but it seems to be the only way to get it to work.
 
SOLUTION:

First use your labtop or desktop computer as its faster if you have many subscriptions.

1. Open your web browser and log in to YouTube.

2. Go to your subscriptions.

3. Go to a subscribed subscription and click "Edit subscription"

4. Change subscription option to "Only videos uploaded by xxx"

5. Click "Update"


You have to do this for each subscriber you want working for on YouTube app but its worth it.
