iPhone TIPS: Fix "Cannot Connect to YouTube" iPhone 3G and OS 3.0

my YouTube App was not working after the upgrade of my iPhone 3G 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 3G 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 comment here if this guide cannot fix you problem
