The British Steelies Society

With the advent of Googles changing everything I have lost control of my you tube channel cannot get in to add or delete anything and I reckon in a short while they will delete it altogether its a shame as from the comments I received on the steel help videos it has obviously helped some people to get a toon out of a steel guitar..... I wonder If I was to get a petition up would anybody sign it and if they did would Google take any notice of it...... Its a shame when they give you this window of opportunity that you think is going to be there for your Grandkids to take the micky and then they snatch it away

Outrageous, John
Where do I sign!

What a pity John, but It hasn't affected mine ? can you explain more, is it that they've changed your password or what ? I didn't know that Google owned YouTube !
You should be able to log-in directly without using Google+

Also :- you can create a new channel. And while all your videos are still up on you tube, why don't you download them all and then repost them with a new YouTube EXCLUSIVE name ?

Download them all and then create a new channel.. The amount of time you've spent trying to circumnavigate the log-in problem is far greater than how long it would take to do as I suggested in my previous post..It's only 30 uploaded videos isn't it.?
That's all I can find under JohnDavis45 on YouTube ! You could download all of them in under an hour...(and the 16 play-lists of other people's videos, you only need to copy/paste the url for those..)

Google will let you have multiple accounts, and don't insist on your real name (they tried that a while back, then did a U-turn on it).

Basically, all you really need to recover a Google / YouTube account is access to the email address on the account. But even if you don't have that, there are other password recovery options if you know roughly when it was set up, what services you used etc.

As far as I know they never delete gmail accounts, so [email protected] will still be live. But you may have to go through the password recovery process on that first!
