I dunno what I did differently............................like I said I messed with a lot of stuff. I seem to remember a part where it asked something about enabling something to use devices.....................that it would create a password that could be used across platforms that would be compatible with both google and youtube or something like that...............basically creating one password for everything that would eliminate the confusion on devices that wouldn't allow you to choose.............or I may have had too much bourbon......................
I will see if I can find where that is again and what I did.................
Ok..................if this works I will edit my first post to include this.............
Log into youtube on your pc
Click the arrow in the upper right corner next to your name
In the header that pops up under google+ click settings
On the google+ settings page, scroll down to "Third Party Tools"
I am not sure what it will say to you, to me it asks about setting up a password. When I click that it shows me that my auto-generated username is my old user name plus some numbers ending in the pages.plusgoogle.com thingy..............and something about "one password for all of google"......I think that you have to enable the third party tools first to get the new username, then follow my previous steps. Hope this works.
