I FOUND ANOTHER SOLUTION THAT MIGHT HELP PEOPLE: if you are using chrome, what i did was that i clicked on the 3 dots on the top-right corner of the window, i clicked settings, went all the eay to the bottom of the page and clicked "restore settings to their originial defaults" and it worked!

BRIGHTON - I APPRECIATE YOUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND THIS PARTICULAR INFO VIDEO - I GOT THIS SAME MESSAGE The server has rejected the file. Please follow these steps and upload the file again. THIS AFTERNOON WHILE UPLOADING AND TRIED YOUR ADVICE ON GOING INCOGNITO BUT NOTHING HAPPENED AND THE MESSAGE REMAINS THE SAME - ANY OTHER SUGGESTIONS FOR ME? I WAS POSTING LOTS ON MY CHANNEL (AM I IN TROUBLE WITH YT???) - THANKS, COMIC MAN GUS

This just started happening to me a couple of weeks ago after many years of uploading hour long videos without a hitch. Your solution worked very well, thanks for posting it.

[CraftedChannel]

Yes, this absolutely worked for me. No idea why I was having a problem the ordinary way but thank you!

[sadclowns]

I edited from Imovie app and I tried the other one that wasn’t Imovie just from camera roll and it worked. I believe Imovie is the problem, the file? How do I fix it, please help me.

Your suggestion worked like a charm on Firefox. Does anybody know which Gremlin was released to cause this server rejection of a file upload? It worked fine a couple of weeks ago. Is the NSA updating their upload prevention software?

[lyonharted]

Worked like a charm! Does this mean there's an extension that's causing the problem?

[NakedDave]

Thank you for this tutorial.

Based on your video I found that something was wrong in my Chrome cache / history. Cleaning out your history also resolves this problem.

My video is accepted but after the upload is done, it says that "Your video has been rejected by YouTube" what shall I do?(I upload all youtube video from private browsing)

[corallaroc]

I haven't tried this fix yet, so thanks in advance (assuming it works). But why is this happening?? It's gonna get pretty annoying, pretty quick having to log in every time...

[CoachTara]

This totally worked thank you so much! Do you know why this happens?

[motonige]

Wow, something on the interweb that actually works! Thanks from the UK dude - problem resolved.

[xboxgaminglama]

Wow man, thank you so much for making this video. Saved me the time of trying to find a third party uploader. You gained a new subscriber, and Ill try to broadcast this out to others that have this problem!

[cassandranoorman]

[guybarlow]

[KerriHughes]

[Mechwolf]
