| Youtube account somehow lost after gmail account linked. | ZukiZilla | 7/5/12 7:25 AM | Im having a read headache with my youtube account - I am the owner of an account I have posted some videos too, but recently I linked my google account to a domain then backed out of it using a different email address. Now ive recreated my google acc |
| Re: Youtube account somehow lost after gmail account linked. | The Lady From Uncle | 7/5/12 7:32 AM | Not clear what you mean you backed out of your Google account and "non-domain" email. If your newer Google account has a different YouTube channel to the one you seek to access then your YouTube you want to access is associated with a different Googl |
| Re: Youtube account somehow lost after gmail account linked. | ZukiZilla | 7/5/12 8:00 AM | Well perhaps the domain account thing is a red herring, lets just say that I set up a google account and was forced to migrate my old you tube account to it, but something seems to have gone wrong in the process. If i go to you tube and type in my ol |
| Re: Youtube account somehow lost after gmail account linked. | The Lady From Uncle | 7/5/12 8:20 AM | If you log in with ZukiZilla and end up in a different YouTube's Google account then that can only happen if you are actually logging into a GMail Google account also called ZukiZilla (GMail providing its Google account with the only email username w |
| Re: Youtube account somehow lost after gmail account linked. | ZukiZilla | 7/5/12 8:42 AM | Sadly this didnt seem to work - whenever i changed my password on my google account it also changed my password on my youtube one. The account i reach on logging in has its own recently watched videos, none of my favourites or uploaded movies. I trie |
| Re: Youtube account somehow lost after gmail account linked. | ZukiZilla | 7/5/12 8:47 AM | I think what may well have happened is that when i created the google account for my personal use and merged it with a youtube account, it has merged it with a work google account that ive logged into youtube with before. This is the youtube account |
| Re: Youtube account somehow lost after gmail account linked. | The Lady From Uncle | 7/5/12 8:51 AM | If you change the password for the GMail Google account which is not associated with your YouTube channel then it CANNOT change the password for your YouTube. This is fact. Again- do you have a GMail called zukizilla@gmail[.]com or zuki.zilla@gmail[ |
| Re: Youtube account somehow lost after gmail account linked. | The Lady From Uncle | 7/5/12 8:53 AM | Google accounts don't merge with other Google accounts. Every Google account (GMail using or not) is only ever a standalone account. And every Google account may only have one YouTube associated with it at a time. And if it is associated to one Go |

Which is the whole point. In order to log into the YouTube channel you will need to use its username (which is the same as the GMail's, yes) and its own |
| Re: Youtube account somehow lost after gmail account linked. | ZukiZilla | 7/9/12 2:23 AM | Thanks, I managed to get my account back at least even if I had to create a new google account to do it - as my current account has a youtube account already I couldnt link it. But this worked...thanks for your help! |
