My backup is not listed in itune

Hi all,
First of all, Thanks for taking the time to look at this
I have an iPhone 3G and another 4G. Till now I used the 4G and my wife used the 3G.
Today we switched phones, changed SIM cards and thought that just restoring our switched phones from various backups would do the trick.
Now when I connect the 4G to the computer, and try to restore from backup, all backups are listed (for both phones) in itunes however, when I do the same with the 3G, the 4G's backup does not show up... Can anyone help?
Much apptreciated and thanks in advance

Sorry, but it's Apple's policy...

I am trying to help a friend who upgraded their iPad mini to iOS7 but lost all the notes.
They did a backup but it now not listed in itunes device backups but I fount the folder on the hard drive with 8 other listed backups.

Hey Phantom42
Move them into folders that is listed below and iTunes should recognize it. Look in the Back up your backup sections to see the location.

IPhone not listed under iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices

Why is my iPhone not listed under iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices ?

Restore previous backup (folder exist in C:/...backup) but not on the iTune list.

There were problems with my iPhone for the past few days with freezing etc. So i backup the phone and brought it into Apple for an exchange for a new one. When i got home, when i plugged into iTune, there are no other options apart from ONLY set up as a new phone.
After that was done, i tried to restore from the previous back but the one i backed up from the previous phone is not listed except the one new one is created with plugging in the new phone for the first time.
I have checked '\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\' there is my folder there named 'a97551c3537f0068b2f80e92b51254453e20675e' which is the backup i did with the previous phone but cannot be seem when i tried to restore in iTune.
MAJOR HELP PLEASE!!

I backed up my computer - but not my iphone on time machine. Will the backup file on time machine be from the last iphone backup? or from my last iphone sync? (I won't have access to my time machine drive for a few days, and am stressing out trying to find another way to retrieve the lost info)

How can i restore my iphone from a back up that is not listed on itunes

I need to restore my iPhone from a backup that is not listed in the itunes backup section. I only did it at 6 pm yesterday. Is there a way to find this backup on my computer and return it to the itunes backup list?

Normally backups are incremental, and you can only restore the latest. EXCEPT that a backup of an earlier version is archived, and the first backup of the new version is thus complete. You should be able to restore a 6.1.4 backup to iOS 7. Click the Restore Backup button. The dialog that comes up should have a dropdown where you can select a backup to restore. If the old one does not show up it cannot be restored.
However, since you appear to have a Mac, if you use Time Machine you can restore an earlier backup over the current one from your Time Machine history.
You can also back up to iCloud, even if you don't sync to it. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5262
One well hidden feature (for future use) is archiving backups. If you go to iTunes Preferences/Devices, right click on the current backup and choose "Archive". The next backup you make will be a competely new one, and the old one will be preserved and can be restored at any time.

My bank and country are not listed in itunes connect, solution?

can't add my bank to itunes connect since its not listed (Palestinian) in order to get the in-app purchases and selling applications on the app store.
I have an account already, and i have published FREE apps, but its time to publish payable apps.
Is there any solution like opening a bank account online? that is listed in the apple's list?
Thanks in advance.

Did you make sure you also used your old AppleID with the new phone? Purchases are permanently tied to an AppleID.

If you still cannot restart it, check this Apple support document, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1567 if that doesn't work, then you may need to uninstall iTunes and reinstall it. Follow the instructions in this support document to remove them from Windows XP http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925

Country not listed in iTunes

I am living in Monaco and unable to sign up to iTunes as Monaco is not listed as a country. France does not work as I get an error when entering the credit card information as it is a Monaco card.
Any suggestions?
Cheers,

Sorry, but if there is no iTunes Store in your country, then you indeed cannot purchase apps nor any other content. You cannot use any other country's iTunes Store.

Click on the Subscribe button on Podcast Alley, it will take you to a new page. In the middle section of the new page is the basic URL you need to feed into iTunes. Copy that string to your clipboard and return to iTunes.
From iTunes, select "Subscribe to podcast..." from the Advanced menu. Paste the URL from podcast alley into the box and hit OK.

Can i restore my iPhone to a previous backup not listed in iTunes but is in my mobile sync folder?

my backup/restore went wrong yesterday and a second backup was taken but that was only half of the info on my iphone. Can i use a previous backup or does itunes overide them to the newest version. I have read that the mobilesync folder in Library stores previous backups which i have found but i dont know what to do with the file now. Any help??? I really need my notes and previous sms messages that arent on the most recent backup but on the previous one

Again, iTunes only keeps one normal backup, per device. Any other backups listed are backups created from restore points. These are time/date stamped & are not overwritten.

IPod Classic (160GB) seen by MAC not listed in iTunes

Regrets if asked and answered.
I have an iPod Classic that did work with iTunes (9.2.1) but that was before my back up device crashed. I was able to pull images off the backup and push them onto my iPod (no room on the computer), but of course I had to format the iPod to FAT32; it really did have to happen that way. Now I am ready to put my music back onto my iPod. I connected the iPod to my Mac (10.4.11). iTunes would launch, but the iPod never listed. I tried the Apple recommendations, Reset Retry Restart Reinstall Restore, but none of that worked. I used Disk Utility to convert the FAT32 back to HFS+, I used Mac OS Extended (Journaled) to ERASE the iPod; that went well. Still no luck being recognized in iTunes.
Any ideas, suggestions, solutions?

Put your iPod into Diskmode.
Connect the iPod to your Mac, if iTunes comes up, close it.
Then while the iPod is still connected, Reset the iPod, (Press Menu and Center Button for 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON.)
iTunes should launch and ask to Restore the iPod.
If the above don't work, Run the iPod disk diagnostic, most likely dying hardisk.
Good Luck!
