We don’t work for Google, but in my experience in working with them as a customer, you can forget about them ever, EVER making an exception to a policy. There is no customer service. I’ve even tried to sign up for paid services that haven’t worked and never been able to get Google to respond to fix things. So, apologies, I don’t think I can be much help on this :-(

I’ve eraesed all my images from my GooglePlus account and I’ve just found out that were canceled from all my blogs on blogger either! Help me, please.
I need them back!

What was it you did that erased the images? How were they removed from blogger? What are the URLs for your blogger and G+ accounts?

Hi, I received a G+ invite weeks ago and successfully created an account. Since then, I am never able to log-in instead being directed to the standard page (not accepting new invites or are over capacity right now). What is the trick to getting in?
Thanks,

Could be a couple of things. Do you have a link to your page, or exact spelling of the username used? I can’t find you in Google +, which makes me suspect you’re not there for some reason.

So I just downloaded the G++ app for my chrome browser. I have my G+, Facebook, & twitter accounts all working. I also have a page that I created on FB. Is there anyway I can see both my personal facebook comments and my page’s comments?

While that seems like a Facebook question, and I’m no Facebook expert, I believe you can set Facebook to email you each time you receive a comment, and set your email client to filter them all into a folder so you don’t clog up your email inbox.

I tried making a Google+ page but this page is continually popping up when I click my invite that was sent to me via e-mail. I am a student at Bryant University and we use gmail for our e-mails and at the top is my address. When I first clicked the invite it brought me to Bryants e-mail log in, so I logged in and now I can’t get it to go away, ahhh please help

It’s something that Google has promised to fix/make available…but have not done so yet :(

You can sign up to be notified when Google fixes this situation here: http://bit.ly/qzxgSV

Hello,

I’m having trouble with my privacy settings. I don’t want my google+ account to come up when my name is searched in google. Is there a way to change that? Thanks!

Google at present doesn’t allow private accounts. You can make your account private, but then Google will delete it from Google Plus! So there isn’t currently a way to do what you want :(
