Hello,
I recently had to do a factory reset for my Dad on his I pad. His photos are gone. We signed into his icloud account and they are not there either. I can't be sure if he had the settings set to save to cloud or not. Any ideas?
A factory reset should not affect iCloud photos, so it's likely iCloud photos was not enabled.
If the device was backed up, photos would be part of the backup (again, assuming iCloud photos was not enabled)
You could try restoring from a backup
If there was no backup, those items are lost.

Thank you. don't know if it was set to icloud. I'm pretty sure when I was doing the reset it asked me if I wanted to back up. I can't see myself not doing it, but I can't find a back up either.
