Q: Hi there, can an ipod using my account be found if icloud was not activated on that device? My daughter has lost it!! Help

No. The iCloud service "Find my iPod" is the only way to track it. If it wasn't enabled, then it can't be found.

Location Services would have to have been enabled on the iPod. Was it?

What kind of iPod is it?

I am assuming it's a fairly recent iPod Touch running iOS 5. I am not certain about earler versions.

Go to https://www.icloud.com/ and sign in with your Apple ID and password - probably the same as the one used to log into this help forum.

Then click the big green "find my iPhone" icon. Despite the name it is intended to locate all your devices, not just iPhones. If you enabled Location Services it will appear on the upper left. When the iPod connects to a wireless network, it will show its location (assuming the wireless network's location is known - that's another story altogether).

From there you can choose to send a message, play a sound, remotely lock it, or even wipe its memory.
