My iPod wouldn't update so Apple forced me to restore it to its the factory settings. Unfortunately the last backup I did was 6 months ago and I lost all the photos I have taken since. I also didn't have my iCloud turned on as I prefer to store things manually. Is there anyway for me to get those photos back? Please help!
Not without a backup no. I'm sure they directed your to restore and maybe forgot to mention backing up first, but "forced" is quite a strong word. Hopefully they didn't hurt you in that forceful process. Good luck.
No the only option I was presented with was to update my iPod and when it failed (I tried it twice), they directed me to restore to factory settings. There wasn't a backup option given. My iPod wouldn't work in the mean time, only a black screen with the lightening charger and an arrow pointing to iTunes.
Yeah at that point it appears the update failed and that was the only option. You wouldn't have been able to backup at that point. This would be the same situation as if you lost your iPod, or it got stolen, you would be without your data. Although it appears you do not have any recovery options, moving forward, you might want to backup regularly. There is even an automatic option on iCloud. Heed the same advice for all of your computers and other electronics that store your life's information that you can't live without.
