Ohhhhhhhhhhh, so you restored from backup?

Sadly, those photos are gone, once a backup is restored onto the device it does erase everything else that was there. Did you have iCloud active on the phone? If so, and you had Photo Stream on you may be in luck, otherwise no.


For future reference, when you try too backup, make sure you Right Click on the name of the phone (where it shows listed under Devices)> Select Backup.

It's sad that Backup and Restore from Backup are so close together and aren't exactly that well explained, but in a nutshell; Backup is where iTunes saves a copy of what's on the device, Restore from Backup is where iTunes grabs a previous backup, and throws that over what's already on the iPhone and deletes everything else.
