Re: lost my ipod, need help

photo stream only backs up the last 30 days, or the last 1000 photos.
so if you took 50 photos in the last 30 days, you will only get back 50 photos.
unless you had a full iCloud back up for photos older than 30 days.
Once you get a new iPod, try restoring from iCloud backup. if you have no back up, you will only get "some" photos back.
However. if you took 50 photos in the last 30 days and it never had wifi at all in the last 30 days, you will get zero photos back.

Your iPod should have been backed up to iCloud. Set up a new device with the iCloud back up and the photos should be there. You can log in to iCloud on a computer and see if they are there. I think.
