Hello

My mobileme account was up for renewal so I bought a 5GB account from eBay, I logged in the other day and it says the parent account has been removed and I must signup again to upgrade/reactivate the account.

If I buy the family pack can I use it to reactivate/upgrade my account and also renew my friends account? How would I do that, do they get their seperate login?

This is the error i get:

With all due respect you get what you pay for. Had you done your homework you would have known the sub accounts are a direct violation of MobileMe's TOS. If you did a search here you would have also found out that this issue has been addressed previously to such an extent that yours truly found out that the accounts weren't valid from the horse's mouth. You can view my post here alongside the other posts.

As for buying a renewal, no, because your account was not the parent account but you need to ask Apple to be sure.
