      By a mistake, Google have added on of our employeers gmail as the primary mail, that are attached to our YouTube channel.

      We want to delete that gmail, but without loosing our data, and all the information we have on our channel.

      We also want to connect to G+ with a new gmail, but now it seems that Google have created a G+ profile related to the "wrong" gmail.

      Have anyone got experience with this problem, and have a solution for this?

        You can change your email on Youtube and then connect to your G+ account from there.

        In settings underneath name on Youtube - can link from there, just make sure you change the email first to the one you want to link with...

          Im not able to change my primary email from there, and thats the problem.

          I can only change primary email by deleting it, and im afraid that will erase alot of content on my YouTube channel.

            Unfortunately, as far as I'm aware - there is no way to fix this.

            Google have started to move YouTube towards having a Google+ integration and this really hasn't been kept simple for those with a "corporate account" who don't want to tie the channel to a specific email or person.

            one assumes they will eventually provide a way for you to fix this, but it may involve changing to a paid YouTube account of some sorts better aligned with a business than an individual.

            So, sorry, no I don't think you can fix it - but I feel your pain!
