Answer 1

It is easy just go to your account preference and put your whole profile to private where all your friends only can view.

Answer 2

What you want to do, make your channel "private" except for friends only, is not an option on YouTube.  You can private videos you upload and then send them only to your friends, but it's not a social networking site in the traditional sense, so they don't offer a private profile setting.

You could remove your favorites from being displayed on your page by going to display options, and unchecking the "favorites" box where you would normally organize them.  With this though, only you will be able to see your favorites by looking at them under my account.  Anyone could still see them if they manually typed in the address if they knew what they were doing, because unlike videos, you can't ever totally private them.

If you're that ashamed of your favorites, I suggest you start a second youtube account to favorite whatever weird c**p it is that you don't want people to see, and don't tell anyone it's you.

I Was Wondering the same thing. I tried setting mine to Private but it will still Show in the Channel Page. at the top. Just click on your User name and Look at the top then you will see what i am talking about. I don't think their Private Settings Work that great

Ask YouTube support... I can't find it... Unless you upload a video and you have the option of showing it to the public or private.
