I understand that you had pictures on your iPod and now you are trying to recover those photos on your iPhone. Depending on how those photos were saved we may be able to recover them. If they were stored in the Camera Roll of the iPod and you had an iCloud backup, you may be able to restore your iPhone from that backup and recover those photos. If the photos were on the Photo Stream, they were already stored in iCloud and you don’t need to restore from backup. The following article has information pertaining to these situations.
iCloud: Troubleshooting missing information after restoring an iOS device

Photos and videos in your Camera Roll are included in your iCloud backup and will download to your iOS device during the restore process.
- Photos in your Photo Stream are already stored in iCloud, so they are not part of your backup. iCloud stores the photos uploaded to My Photo Stream for 30 days. To keep the photos in your photo streams on your device and make them part of your backups, save these photos to your Camera Roll or another album.
- To view My Photo Stream or a shared photo stream, make sure the photo stream features are turned on in Settings > Photos & Camera.
- To recover photos that originally synced to your device from your computer, sync your device using iTunes on a computer.
- To restore Camera Roll photos to an iPhone or iPod touch, the iCloud backup must be from an iPhone or iPod touch. To restore Camera Roll photos to an iPad, the iCloud backup must be from an iPad.
If you believe the photos were on the Photo Stream but are not showing up after you sign in to the correct account, please review this article.

I don't see photos in My Photo Stream on my iOS device.
- From the Home screen, tap Settings > Wi-Fi. Make sure that Wi-Fi is turned on and your device is connected to a wireless network. If necessary, troubleshoot your Internet connection on your iOS device.
- From your Home screen, tap Settings > iCloud > Photos (Photo Stream on a device using iOS 6) and make sure that My Photo Stream is turned on.
- Ensure that the Camera app is closed on the device that took the photo. Photos will not upload from an iOS device to My Photo Stream until the Camera app is closed.
- Ensure that your iOS device has not fallen below 20% battery power. To preserve battery life, Photo Stream downloading and uploading are disabled when the battery reaches this threshold. Downloading and uploading will resume once you charge your device and the battery charge is greater than 20%.
Thanks for reaching out,
