Keeping,youtube,and gmail account seperate.

Fol20

i have 2 seperate accounts for youtube and gmail.i was wondering is there anyway where my account will stay signed into each website.

everytime i sign into my gmail one,it signs me out of my youtube accout and vice versa.

I was also wondering is it possible to disable your gmail account in google search as its a bit annoying if im signed in when i google stuff as they are recording all my activity.

There's probably a better way of doing it, but you could have one browser open for Gmail and another for YouTube.

If you are using Firefox there is an add-on that stops google collecting information

i use google chrome for its simplistic interface

There is no way to do this properly because of the way google integrates its services.

They want you to have one account for everything. You could check youtube properties to see if they have an alias you can change so you have a different name on youtube to your gmail.

ok I had a quick look. You need to login to your youtube account and go to manage account and select Unlink YouTube and Google Accounts. This may allow you to do it as youtube account will no longer be a google account.

emm,,,when i do that i dont see the setting to unlink your email and youtube account

all i see is
account status:community guidelines
account status:copyright
change password
delete account
authorized sites

hmmm I see, you know it may already consider the two separate but they use the same cookie on your machine and it is overwriting it.

I'm pretty sure I was asked to link my gmail to my youtube account at some point. I can't remember if this was in gmail or youtube but it might be worth a look to see can you merge the two and keep the separate user names unless you have some other reason for wanting them separate.

Otherwise I doubt its possible.

Is it possible to be logged into gmail but not the google search engine?

Use a client for email then dont log in, simple as. Its easy to enter the POP3s and SMTPs:)

how do you mean?

Use something like Outlook or Thunderbird (or on a Mac Mail.app or Entourage); that way you could get your mail without using the browser at all, keeping your YouTube signed in (at least, I think that's what he's suggesting).

I'd just use two different browsers, but then that's kind of a roundabout way too...

Nice one,just tried thunderbird there and it seems like a very good system.If i delete stuff in thunderbird,will it delete it in the proper site as well?

It depends on how you set it up, but you can do either, depending on how you'd like it
