Um, yeah, anyone think they can help me with a problem I have? Ok, so basically I connected my Youtube account to my Google account, it seemed a fine idea at the time. However, I noticed I was no longer getting emails from Youtube (at my hotmail address, which was the one YT was set to sent emails to). A minute ago, though, I went to my google email adress and found that youtube had been sending emails to that account now. This is not good. I'll explain briefly: Basically, my hotmail is the one I use for anything. Just general use. My google one is used for more important stuff, like school things etc. I make sure that that stays fairly empty and spam free, and the last thing I want is a tonne of emails from Youtube in it. Anyone have any idea how I can change it back to it using my hotmail adress? I've tried going to the email options section, and clicking the link it gives. From there, I tried attaching my Hotmail to my Google. But, my Google address was still my primary address, and I couldn't seem to make my Hotmail my primary. Help, anyone? Thanks.

At the top of the email from youtube there is a link that says "email options". Clicking it will take you to your youtube account's options page. From there just uncheck the appropriate boxes and voila. As for reconnecting your old account I have no idea.

Did you do this? Hover over your name in the top right corner and click Account. Go to Email Options. Under Email Address, type your Hotmail into New Email Address box, type your Youtube Password, the text thing, and click Send Confirmation. Go to your Hotmail, open the sent Email, and confirm it. If so, I'm not sure.

I have already tried both of your solutions, and neither worked due to one problem: Where my current address is written, where would type in a different email address is greyed out. Thanks for trying to help, though. I apprieciate it EDIT: Though, if this is what you were trying to say, PC, then I can stop it from sending me emails at all. Which could be a temporary solution, but I'd quite like emails to my hotmail. Helps me know whats going on. xD But, its a temporary solution, I suppose Another Edit: If you're interested, or if this could help, here's what is said to me under the first "email options" tab: "Email Address Current Email Address: only1usechip@gmail.com You signed in via Google, so you should click here to change your Google email" Yet another edit: Just found out I can unlink my youtube and google acounts. I might do this, however there are some benefits of having 'em linked, I think xD

I just want to make sure (because I'm like that). The box the red arrow is pointing to was greyed out? Or was the Email already listed (the black box covering mine) greyed out? Sorry about a possible page stretch. Edit: You keep making edits faster than I make a post! Maybe when it's unlinked, you can change it?

Yeah, I'm not even given those boxes, just the address is greyed out, and theres nothing I can do. >:-( And sorry about all those edits! xD But I think you're probably right, if I unlink 'em it'll most likely revert to my old address (Hotmail) or I'll be able to change it to that. I may as well give it a go, it's not like I acctualy know what the "advantages" of having your youtube and Google accounts linked! lol EDIT: Yep, all done I disconnected them and the boxes appeared, so I could enter my Hotmail address! I think I can probably just about live without having my YT and Google accounts linked xD So, problem solved! Thanks for the help
