I know hardly anyone comes in here but I thought I'd give it a try. I used a trial version of mobileme under a username I no longer wanted so I deleted the account and started a new. Now that I'm satisfied, I did the usual stuff with mobileme like setting it up on the mac and the iphone. Well it turns out Find My iPhone is still tied to the other account even though it's deleted off the phone AND deleted through me.com and I can't get the feature to work under the new name. Can anyone help with this? I was going to pay the $99 for Mobileme but it's damn near worthless to me without FMI.

I'm guessing I know the answer already and that's activating my old account by paying Apple but if there's a way I can use the new account I made I'd like to know.

Thanks.

Edit: Restarting my phone seemed to fix the problem. Why didn't I think of that before lmao so embarrassing.
