Hi all

Iv made some playlists on youtube and saved videos in each one. All done via Mac whilst logged into youtube.

I logged into the youtube app using the same username and password on my firestick/tv but they dont show up. Neither do the channels iv subscribed to. Tried logging in and out twice.

Are they not meant to sync so I can log into my account on any device and see everything?

Help greatly appreciated.
 
Do you have more than one Google account, your 100% your in same account over both systems?

Thats the first thing I thought about too. But iv logged out and back in on my Mac and then done the same on the firestick, defo using same username and password.
 
It should work , your looking in the right place on YouTube app? there is an obvious button on the bottom middle of the app for subscribers.

Other than that try uninstalling app and clearing both systems , cache etc.
 
Ok so rather than typing in my gmail username and password into the yourtube app on firestick, it gave me the option of logging in via going to youtube.com/activate online (which I did on my Iphone), tying in a code that was displayed on the firestick screen and then google text me a number which I typed into my phone. That then took me to a scrren which asked me which of the following two account I want to use:

[email protected] (which is my email address I use to log into my gmail account)

and underneath was a second option just called

yucca
with 'youtube' written below it

When I chose the second yucca 'youtube' one, it synced with my firestick and all my lists came up.

WTF is going on?! Have I got a subsection youtube only account within my main google account or something?! And if so, HOW or WHY!?

How are you able to log onto Gmail with [email protected]?
 
I have that, I think it's a legacy account thing from when YouTube and Google accounts were separate as I have one named differently that my email where all my subs are but if I sign in by email it loses them. Same password and email for login though just different accounts.

Yes so how do I get my firestick to sign into the right one if the email and password is the same on both of them!?

Pass mate, I don't have a firestick but on my TV you go into the account and can choose between the two, on the phone app it's a drop down arrow when you click the account picture on top right?
