Channel "Leaking" Videos Despite "UNLISTED" Turned ON

Let me apologize in advance for my temper, but I've got SEVERAL MAJOR issues going on with my Channel, and VERY HOTT that I can't get them fixed.

1.) Despite turning on "UNLISTED" not only for the entire channel, but also EVERY FREAKIN' video, and yet when I google the name of the band, 3 of their videos appear, even a video from my channel that's not even related to that band. WHAT GIVES? I don't know how to make it ANY clearer to !@#$%ING YOUTUBE that I DO NOT want my videos circulated all over the web. I ONLY want to store them there FOR NO ONE to see so I can send the links out to whomever I choose, and ONLY they get to see them. NOW HOW THE H#!! can I do that?

2.) On all but 3 there's a menu of other videos that are NOT related to my channel AT ALL, and every time I click on the link to anyone of these 3 videos this STINKING menu covers at least the entire right 1/3 of my video. I've gone to Channel/Advanced (and checked all other Channel features) to block any ads appearing on my channel, but that doesn't help. This stupid menu pops up on all of my other videos, but for some reason, on those it appears BEHIND the video. That's annoying enough, but this is ridiculous

3.) Oh! AND ANOTHER thing. Now, I can't even see the the thumbnails that were there an hour ago. How do I get those back?

Thanks...SINCERELY,

Make it private ? I'm pretty sure unlisted makes it so you need the link to get to the video while private makes it so only you can see them.
 
I'm not quite sure what's going on exactly...but as I was searching for Judge Judy episodes to watch on Youtube this week, a bunch of them were 'unlisted'. I was able to watch them anyway.
 
If the uploader adds an unlisted video to a playlist, the public will be able to view/search for the video. Not sure if this is what happened, but it's one possible reason people can view the unlisted video.
 
I VERY MUCH appreciate the very timely help, but to YouTube/Google...REALLY!? How STOOPID is that? I mean, ask ANY MAJOR dude what they think "UNLISTED" means (as in UNlisted Ph. #, Address), and I THINK they would say they DON'T want the world to see it. BUT THEY DIDN'T ASK ME!

Thanks again, guys.[DOUBLEPOST=1408589323,1408588551][/DOUBLEPOST]OK! I went back to make it Private, but now all the freaking thumbnails, and icons are gone. I don't see ANYTHING for buttons, or tabs. I HATE YOUTUBE!! I'm Venting

YouTube wants to shart in your left ear...
 
The only time I have seen this happen is when theyre added to a playlist, ideally you should be able to add to a play list if you upload lots of videos intending to release them later without the worry of people seeing the videos but as of right now, if you add them before releasing it people can view it and find it in your play list, this happened to me a while back when the One Channel layout was released. Im not quite sure about why its like that.
 
I want to know why all of the thumbnails, buttons, etc disappeared. It's even the same in my personal account...ON ALL 3 of my computers.[DOUBLEPOST=1408627185,1408625520][/DOUBLEPOST]OK, apparently the "leaking" problem is solved, but I still have the thumbnails issue, and I have another VERY annoying issue of the right side video menu popping up IN FRONT of, and blocking about 1/3 of the right side of my video. It only does it on 1 right now, and the only SLIGHTLY rhyme or reason that has any affect on it, is when I toggle the "Allow ads to appear on my channel" under Channel/Advanced.
 
That's not my point Tarmack. My point is I can't see a D@#N thing...including the thumbnails. I can't see ANY of the interface buttons, the "Edit" button, NOTHING! And in fact, I DO need to see the thumbnails so I can choose which freakin' thumbnail I want displayed. I can't even see the transport buttons.[DOUBLEPOST=1408635544,1408635271][/DOUBLEPOST]So, now everything is private, now no one can get in to see the videos, so HTF do I give them permission to see the videos, and if I give them permission, what exactly does that give them permission to view? If I have 100 videos are they ONLY allowed to see that ONE, or FIVE different videos that I send them the link for? Someone PLEASE help me with this, I'm REALLY desperate. And please, keep any smart@$$ comments to yourself.[DOUBLEPOST=1408636364][/DOUBLEPOST]So, how is it that apparently I'm supposed to be able to send a PRIVATE video link to someone, and they should be able to see it, but if I'm not logged into my own account, and I use a Private link it won't let me see it. Is there ANYTHING logical about YouTube?[DOUBLEPOST=1408636683][/DOUBLEPOST]I've googled several questions about sending Private Youtubes, but the GUI used in all the videos is old, and I've gone through EVERY STINKING one of the features on my account in YouTube and not ONE of them shows ANYTHING about sharing a video, or Broadcasting Options.
