Youtube is the largest online platform for viewers and bloggers. Naturally, such a popular Internet service is not immune to glitches and bugs. Many users are complaining about the problem with the 410 network on YouTube. In this article we will look at the cause of this malfunction and how to fix it yourself.

Bug fix

The first thing to do is close the application, then launch it again. Most bugs can be fixed using this simple procedure. Also, try restarting your mobile device. If the 410 network problem persists on Youtube, check for app updates. In addition, it is worth paying attention to the version of the Google Play Services program. It may also need updating. You need to do the following:

1. Go to the official store – Play Market.
2. Open the menu, then go to the “My apps and games” section.
3. A list of downloaded programs that require updating will open. Select all or find YouTube and Google Play Services among them and click “Update”.
4. Wait for the update process to complete.
5. Launch YouTube, then check its functionality.

Problem with YouTube error 410, what should I do?

YouTube network 410 problem occurs for most people. error 410 means that the current version of YouTube is out of date. If you have Android you need to do the following:

1. Try clearing application data and Google Play cache.
2. Then clear YouTube data and caching or reinstall it.
3. Now open Google Play and update YouTube.
4. If this still fails, try clearing your Google Play Services data and cache.

Check the Android system status if you have an old OS - this is the reason for the 410. Updating the old OS will save you from any other error. The update process is quite simple: you just need to follow these steps and your device will be ready to update to the latest version:

• Go to settings
• Select help
• Click “System Update”
• Check for updates
• Click "Update"
• You need to click “Install” (if any is available)
• Reboot the gadget and check again.

Reinstallation and rollback of Youtube

If Error 410 in YouTube occurs constantly, delete the application and reinstall a new Youtube. Turn on your phone, then uninstall the mobile app from your desktop or through your device settings. In order to uninstall an application, you may need to first obtain root rights. Then launch Google Play Market and enter YouTube in the search engine to install the new application. Rolling back the updated YouTube to the old version can help solve the problem. This operation is only possible on smartphones with Android OS. To perform a “rollback” you must:

1. Remove YouTube from your device.
2. Download the corresponding apk file from a third-party resource. Before doing this, you will need to confirm on your device permission to download software from third-party sites.
3. Go to File Explorer, then open the downloaded file.
4. Check the functionality of YouTube.

Data API v2 versus Data API v3

At the end of spring 2020, Google decided to abandon the outdated Data API v2 (working, in particular, with YouTube) in favor of the modern Data API v3, which provides improved support for captions, comments, and push notifications. The previous Data API v2 should have been closed soon, and all devices still working on its basis should have avoided the 410 error, indicating existing network problems.

Various Android TVs, game consoles and media players are the most unlucky - updating them to a more recent version of YouTube with support for Data API v3 is associated with some difficulties. Therefore, quite a few owners of such devices managed to receive a message about the presence of error 410.

In addition to an outdated version of YouTube, the cause of error 410 and network problems can be:

• Random failure on a mobile gadget;
• The presence on the device of software called “Freedom” (or an analogue), which blocks access to Google services;
• Lack of required system updates on the device;
• Unstable network connection.

Cleaning your phone from junk

We recommend that the user does not rush to delete the mobile application; you can try less radical measures to eliminate error code No. 410. The cause of problems with YouTube may be a full smartphone memory. Downloaded applications create files that are not needed in future work. To clear the internal memory, some device shells provide special programs. If your mobile does not have one, then download a special utility from the Play Market - Clean Master, which will scan the system and remove unnecessary files. You can clear the Youtube cache manually:

1. In the “Settings” section, find “Application”.
2. Select YouTube, then tap “Clear cache”.
3. Reboot your phone.

How to solve Error 410 on YouTube

To solve the 410 dysfunction that has arisen, there are several effective methods that we will consider. In particular, I recommend doing the following:

1. Just reboot your device. The dysfunction may be stochastic in nature, and after a reboot it will disappear;
2. Update the YouTube application. It is updating this software that is the key way to solve the problem with the network with error code 410. In this case, it is better to carry out this update through the “Play Market” - go to it, find the “Youtube” application there, and click on “Update”;

   Update your YouTube

3. If the previous methods did not help, I recommend going to the settings of your gadget, going to “Applications”, finding “Youtube” there, and tapping on it. Having gone into the settings, click on “Clear data” there, as well as on “Clear cache”;
4. The next solution is to completely remove the YouTube application from your device (if it is built-in, then only updates for it), reboot the gadget, and install this application from scratch (via the Play Market);
5. Install all updates for your Android (usually through “Settings” - “About device”, then tap on “Software update”);
6. Disable the Freedom utility lock. If this utility is installed on your gadget to emulate purchases, then it can block the correct operation of the device with Google. Launch “Freedom” and disable blocking in it. Some users try to simply uninstall the utility, but this may not be effective since the utility blocks access at the system level. Therefore, it is better to unlock through the settings of this software;
7. Try using a different network. There have been cases (albeit rare) in which error 410 occurred when working with an unstable Internet network (as well as with an incorrectly configured network connection). Connect to an alternative network and try to watch some of the videos on YouTube. Perhaps the dysfunction in question will not manifest itself in any way in this case.

The problem cannot be solved on its own

If using the above methods did not help restore access to YouTube, write to support. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your email.
2. Write a letter to the address
3. Describe the essence of the problem.
4. Attach screenshots of pages as evidence.
5. Send and wait for a response.

In addition, you can write to the developers in the Play Market. Open the application store, find YouTube in it. Then, in the app reviews, leave a comment describing the problem. Troubleshooting recommendations are often posted here.

Write questions on the topic in the comments.

Defining an error in simple terms

It is not always easy to find how to fix error 410, for example, on the YouTube website. Sometimes completely unusual situations occur, so if you understand the nature of this error, you can easily solve even an unusual problem.

Let's find out in simple words, what is error 410? So, error 410 is the server’s response to changes made by the developer. Simply put, when such an error occurs, either you or the direct hands of the developer are to blame. But often, such an error can be found on YouTube and older versions of Android. For example, Google considers Android 4.0 to be an older version.

Error or code 410 – Gone, means that the page or requested file has been deleted. The error is partially duplicated by error 404 (Not Found).

As a result, no matter what you do, you will receive error 410 network problems. But don’t despair, there are several ways to solve this problem. The only thing you need to clearly understand is that this error is not related to updating the application or site system. In this case, no amount of dancing with a tambourine will save you.

The most common places where this error occurs: on Youtube (if you have Android), on a phone, on a tablet, or just on a website. Below we will look in detail at the options on how to fix error 410.

If error 410 occurs on YouTube

Often this error is associated specifically with updating the official application. How to fix it? So, if you get error 410 in YouTube on an Android device, then you need to check the program update. How to do it?

1. To do this you need to go to Play Market
2. Find the YouTube app
3. Click update button
4. If you live in Crimea, do not forget to enable VPN

Use a VPN to update if you live in Crimea.
If you can’t update the application, it means the firmware version no longer supports such updates. The developers intentionally disabled the ability to support older devices, hinting at the purchase of a new device. For example, if you have Android 4.4, then this will be a problem for you.

If the reasons are in the device firmware

Which exit? I would like to warn you right away that for devices that were released 6 years ago, you will not receive the updates necessary for the operation of Play Market services, and therefore the YouTube application. However, there are ways to solve the problem if error 410 appears on the tablet. Let's take one step at a time and check whether it is possible to officially update.

Check your Android system for updates

1. Go to Settings on your phone or tablet.
2. Find the last item "About device"
3. Find the update item and check if it is available to you.
4. If there are updates, you need to download and install using the instructions.
5. Once the update is complete, go to Play Market
6. Find the YouTube program in it and update. After this, Error 410 YouTube will not bother you.

Make sure the 410 error isn't due to outdated firmware.
If your device is old, there probably won't be any updates. There are not many options for resolving the issue: either install a new, non-official firmware, or install another program for viewing YouTube. Fortunately, there are plenty of such programs:

• Vutube Player
• Newpipe
• OGYouTube
• YouTube Vanced

In addition to the ability to watch videos from YouTube, the program blocks any advertising. However, you won’t be able to log into your account, since the program is not tied to Google Play Market services. There are also mods of the official application for older firmware, starting with Android version 2.2. You can find such a program on the 4pda website. Registration is required to download. Therefore, if error 410 occurs on Android, you already know what to do.

IMPORTANT: before installing programs, you will have to set permission for third-party applications in the settings. This is normal and there is nothing criminal about it, especially for your not so new device.

If error 410 appears on the site

Sometimes error 410 occurs on the site, including on popular portals. I would like to say right away that if you are not a resource administrator, then you should not panic. You won’t be able to fix anything, unless of course the failure is systemic in nature.

• Check the time settings on your PC or laptop. Typically, error 410 on a website can occur if the wrong date is set in the system. Sometimes a glitch occurs and time flies. Try to resolve the issue by turning on automatic time.
• Also, the problem of error 410 may arise from the site being blocked by an antivirus. This is especially true in free versions of Avast antivirus software. It is rare, but you can encounter such a problem in Dr.Web antivirus. The solution is simple: right-click on the antivirus icon and click “Disable”. After that, go to the site. If nothing has changed, look for the problem further.
• If you are a site administrator and have just made changes to files or settings, you need to wait a bit. The configuration is usually updated within an hour. If nothing has changed after an hour, even after clearing your browser cache, contact your hosting provider to find out the cause of the problem. Sometimes it occurs after updating the PHP version to 7.1.

Please note: Actions on the computer must be taken if you are 100% sure that the problem is on your side. Check the site on another device. If error 410 does not occur on your tablet or phone, then work on your computer. Sometimes the issue can only be resolved by reinstalling the Windows system.

If there is a problem with the network

Sometimes there are situations where none of the above solves the problem. For example, you have an error 410 on your phone, although the firmware is fresh and the programs are updated. What to do in this case? As a rule, there is only one reason for the problem - your router. What should be done?

• Just turn off your router for 15 minutes. It is advisable to completely unplug it from the outlet, rather than turn it off with a button on the device. Sometimes such failures occur due to the constant operation of your router.
• Time and DNS are not configured correctly. If you understand the router settings, then go to 192.168.0.1 (usually this is the standard router settings address) and find the settings of the device itself. Check the date. Also, in your Internet settings, check whether the DNS matches that issued by your provider. If they didn’t give you anything, the DNS should be empty.
• Update the router firmware. An extreme case when a network problem occurs (error 410) is to reflash or update the router. For example, Huawei released a router with obviously crude W550 firmware, after which, literally a month later, they rolled out a fresh update.

How to bypass error 410 YouTube via Android

We will talk about them now. You can get around the 410 error on YouTube that occurs on Android quite simply. You just need to do everything according to the instructions below: if one solution doesn’t help, another will definitely help.

• First thing. uninstall YouTube client. This can be done both in programs and in the Play Market (see 1 in the picture below).

• Did not help? In this case, clear the YouTube App cache and data (in the Storage section) as shown above (2). You can also use a standard program or something similar to Clean Master. After that, restart your smartphone and try to watch something.
• Didn't work again? Then reset all applications on your phone (tablet) from Google, including Mail, Play Market (3 at the top), YouTube, or even remove all this software.
• If this does not solve the 410 error, roll back the device to factory settings and reinstall the latest versions of all Google applications, including YouTube.

If none of the methods listed above helped you, then write to YouTube support. It's difficult to say what the problem might be, but most likely one of the above methods will make the YouTube application work correctly on your Android device. You will be able, as before, to view or upload new videos, leave likes or write your opinion about what you saw, or watch how other users actively comment or like your videos. To increase the activity of these same users, write, go to the address just above, call or contact in any other way to order this service from the SocPRka agency. All possible communication methods are presented here: “socprka.ru/contact.php”.

Clearing system application data

Most of the glitches in the Play Market that appear when updating and installing software can be resolved by reinstalling the service from Google. However, the error code 505 remains.

Sometimes cleaning the cache file of the Google service and Market helps solve the problem. The information accumulated by this software during intensive use of a tablet or smartphone can cause disruptions not only to individual programs, but also to the entire mobile system. Clearing temporary files is performed according to the following scheme:

• you need to go to the settings menu, to the “Applications” tab;
• after that you need to go to the “All applications” submenu and find the Play Market;
• In the software properties, you need to go to the “Storage” tab and click on the “Delete data” and “Clear cache” buttons.

Then you should restart your mobile device and try to enter the required program again. If it is not in the list of installed software, you will have to reinstall it.
