If none of these methods work, try clearing your cache and trying again. You may also need to reset your network settings to fix the problem. But these steps are generally the last resort. You should check them all before proceeding. Then, you can enjoy YouTube on your old iPad.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Restarting_Wi-Fi_Internet\"><\/span>Restarting Wi-Fi Internet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Restarting Wi-Fi Internet to get to YouTube on an old iPad can be frustrating and time-consuming. Often, it&#8217;s impossible to connect to a Wi-Fi hotspot. To fix this problem, you can use a Mac or PC with an active internet connection. Next, open iTunes on your PC. If it doesn&#8217;t detect a Wi-Fi network, you need to reset the router settings.<\/p>\n<p>If you can&#8217;t connect to YouTube, try rebooting your Wi-Fi router. This will restart your internet connection and may fix the problem. However, you must be careful with this method, as it will wipe out all Wi-Fi passwords and VPN settings. If the app continues to crash, try restarting the Wi-Fi network. To do this, navigate to Settings &gt; Wi-Fi. Tap on the &#8220;information&#8221; icon and confirm. Repeat the steps above if you still don&#8217;t have YouTube on your old iPad.<\/p>\n<p>Restarting Wi-Fi Internet to get Google&#8217;s YouTube app on an old iPad can also fix this problem. However, it&#8217;s important to make sure you&#8217;re running the latest version of iOS on your iPad. Then, you can install YouTube on your iPad by going to Settings &gt; General&gt; Software Update. A restart will also force YouTube to open again. Once you have the latest iOS, YouTube should start to run flawlessly again.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Clearing_cache\"><\/span>Clearing cache<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are a few steps you can take to free up space on your iPad. First, clear out the cache in the browser. Then, go to the storage settings and choose &#8220;other.&#8221; The Other category contains mostly cache, although it also includes images within texts, music and video streaming, and browser activity. To reduce the size of this category, go to Settings&gt;General&gt;Cache, and delete apps that take up a lot of memory.<\/p>\n<p>Next, open your Safari browser. You&#8217;ll see a box that says &#8220;Clear cache&#8221; &#8211; this will empty your iPad&#8217;s memory. If you&#8217;ve been signed into websites on your iPad with a password, you need to clear the cache to gain access to those sites. The YouTube page will then partially load &#8211; but you can view it later. This option is not available on older iPads, so you&#8217;ll need to reinstall the app to get it working again.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Re-signing_into_your_Google_account\"><\/span>Re-signing into your Google account<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>YouTube is one of the many services available on your old iPad. To add it to your iPad, sign in with your Google account. If you use a public computer, make sure you sign out of your account first. You can also sign in to your Google account from the Settings menu by clicking the Google icon. Then, click the &#8220;Sign in&#8221; button and enter your email address. Once you&#8217;re logged in, you can move on to other devices.<\/p>\n<p>Signing out of your Google account is easy. If you&#8217;re not sure where to do this, click the three dots in the top right corner of your screen. Then, click on the sign-out button. Next, you can find out more about your Google account. Depending on the type of device you have, you might see information such as when you last logged in, how long you logged in, and your approximate location. The IP address that&#8217;s assigned to your device can also be seen.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Resetting_network_settings\"><\/span>Resetting network settings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>You may be able to get YouTube on an old iPad by resetting the network settings. However, it&#8217;s important to note that this process will erase all of your data and passwords. So if you don&#8217;t want to lose any data, this step is not for you. Just make sure that you have a stable internet connection. Otherwise, you&#8217;ll experience a few minor issues before you&#8217;re able to access YouTube.<\/p>\n<p>To check whether your device is able to access YouTube, go to Settings and then to the Content &amp; Privacy Restrictions tab. Uncheck the box next to it. If you still can&#8217;t access YouTube, update your iOS device. It&#8217;s possible that your device is compatible with the latest iOS version. To avoid this problem, you can also try resetting the network settings of your iPad or iPhone.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" height=\"250\" width=\"447\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wJHA66-BmII\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How Do I Get YouTube on My Old iPad?
