My last backup is not showing up in iTunes

My last backup in iTunes is not showing up as an option. I can see the backup file is still there as I found it under C: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\(file name). I had to replace my iphone and need to restore it. Is there a way I can have iTunes restore my iPhone to that last backup found under the MobleSync\Backup?

Have you backed up the device since last Thursday? If so, every time the iPhone does a backup, it overwrites the last backup. So the most current backup you have made is the one that shows in iTunes.
Your backup files are in a location on the computer, but you cannot compel iTunes to use it. This support document will show you the location. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946

I am having problems backing up icloud. the message says, "the last backup could not be completed." Has anyone had this problem?

I just purchased more icloud space and I ham having problems backing up icloud on my iphone 5. The message says,"the last backup could not be completed." Anyone know why this is happening.

This may be caused by a corrupt existing backup that needs to be deleted, or by data on your device that is causing the backup to fail. To troubleshoot these, try deleting your last iCloud backup (if you have one) by going to Settings>iCloud>Storage>Manage Storage, tap your device under Backups, then tap Delete Backup and choose Turn Off & Delete at the prompt. Then go to Settings>iCloud>Backup and turn iCloud Backup back on and try backing up again.
If it still won't back up, you may have an app or something in your camera roll that is causing the backup to fail. To locate which one, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage>Manage Storage, tap the name of your device under Backups, under Backup Options tap Show All Apps, then turn them all to Off (including camera roll) and try backing up again. If the backup is successful, then the camera roll and/or one of your apps is causing the backup to fail and you'll have to located by process of elimination. Turn the camera roll On and try backing up again. If it succeeds, turn some of your apps to On and try backing up again. If it succeeds again, turn some more apps to On then try again; repeat this process until it fails. Eventually you'll be able to locate the problem app and exclude it from your backup.

Backup contents not showing during Time Machine system restore

I just installed a new hard drive on my Macbook Pro so I'm trying to restore a backup of my old hard drive that was saved on a USB-connected external drive (model: LaCie Minimus). However, when I try to transfer the information during system setup, my backup is not showing as part of the external drive's contents. Only the backup information of two other computers are showing up, but not mine (my computer is called 'Hannah Mercader's Macbook Pro'):
However, if I plug the external drive into another laptop to view its contents, my computer's backup information is clearly in the external drive:
I am positive that I have been backing up my laptop properly using Time Machine. However, the last time that I did try backing up my laptop, it didn't work because my hard drive had failed in the middle of the process (hence the reason for needing to install a new hard drive). I've already tried to Repair the external drive using Disk Utility... everything seems OK but my backups still aren't showing when I try to set up my laptop.
Please help me to restore my last proper backup's contents!

Most likely, some folders were excluded from your backups as the result of a failed or aborted software installation.
Starting from a clean installation of OS X, set up a new administrator account and log in. Enter Time Machine and press the key combination shift-command-C. The front window will show all mounted volumes. All snapshots should now be accessible.* Select the one you want and navigate to your home folder (in the Users folder at the top level of the old startup volume.)
You should now be able to restore your user data. I suggest you do this in two stages. Quit all applications except the Finder before you begin.
Restore all the visible items at the top level of your home folder.
Hold down the option key and select Go ▹ Library from the Finder menu bar. Enter Time Machine and restore all items in the Library folder. Log out and log back in as soon as the restore is complete.
Any other invisible folders or files at the top level of your home folder that you want to preserve will have to be restored separately. For most users, that isn't necessary.
You'll have to reinstall all third-party applications from scratch, or restore them from another kind of backup, if you have one.
You'll have another problem if this is a new computer, or if you erased the startup volume: The next time you back up, Time Machine won't recognize any files as being the same as they were before, and will make a full copy of all files. There might not be enough space on one or more of your backup volumes for that. There are different ways of dealing with that situation, depending on your needs. The easiest way is to set your backup drives aside, if possible, until you're sure you'll no longer need the data on them, then erase them and start over. Meanwhile start a new backup on one or more empty storage devices. If that solution isn't workable for you, ask for instructions.
*If you don't see any snapshots in Time Machine, exit the time-travel view and then hold down the option key while selecting
Browse Other Backup Disks...
from the Time Machine menu, which has an icon that looks like a clock running backwards. Select the backups of your computer by its previous name. If you don't have the Time Machine menu, open the Time Machine preference pane in System Preferences and check the box marked
Show Time Machine in menu bar

HT201269 A recent backup is not showing up for my ipone 5 (ios 7)? How can I find it?

I am in the process of having my ipone replaced. In the process to satisfy apple that the phone needed replacing (front camera issues), they had me restore it to original settings, which I did. Nothing changed, so they agreed to replace it. Yey! Of course I backed up my files, but now I am having trouble finding the correct backup. In the process of resetting, a new backup file was created (although there was nothing to backup). I accidentally backed up to this file, which simply recet my phone back to original settings...again. So, now, my previous backup is not showing up... Agh! Is there a way to find my origainal backup file? Any help is appreciated.

How are you backing up, using iTunes? If so, your available backups will be listed here: iTunes>Preferences(under the Edit menu in Windows)>Devices. If not listed here, then it doesn't exist.

Just got an iPad mini 3 and have not reset my iPad mini 3; is that why the photos from iCloud backup are not showing up in the new iPad?

Sorry, don't know what you are asking. You have an old iPad Mini 3 and a new iPad Mini 3? How did you set up the new iPad? Did you restore it from a backup of the old iPad? What photos are you not seeing?
Cheers,

When iCloud goes to back up on my iPad, I get an error "the last backup could not be close

iPad won't backup to iCloud - error message says "The last backup Could not be completed" - Have tried several times.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
If your back up continually fails, you might try turning off back up on your mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup) and then deleting the backup file from iCloud by swiping the backup file on the mobile device (settings > iCloud > storage & backup > manage…) and then turning back up on again.
Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

ICloud Backup is not showing up when trying to restore?

(Obviously) I just updated to iOS 7. GOt through activation and everything. But when I was setting up through the phone and through iTunes, my iCloud backup does not show to restore from. I backed it up this morning at 9 AM and it only shows one from 1 PM. I checked my iCloud storage and the control panel and it's there, but not available apparently for a restore. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Is it possible that some of the clips were recorded in 60P? iMovie does not natively edit 60P.
There are several options.
You could convert it to 30P using an app like ClipWrap.
You can edit 60P in Final Cut Pro X.
Finally, although I haven't tried this myself, some have reported that they have hacked iMovie to be able to edit 60P. Here is a blog post, for example. http://ianperegian.com/My_FZ35_38_Webpage/Edit_1080_50p_and_burn_a_disk.html

TS3992 Last backup could not be completed

I am not able to back up my iPhone. The message says, "The last backup could not be completed." That is it. I've restarted my phone. The storage area says, "iCloud storage details are currently unavailable. Try again later."

If you get the error "Backup not successful" and you've tried deleting the last backup and trying to back up manually without luck, try the following test: Go to...
Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>manage Storage, tap your device name in the Backups section, then look under Backup options. Turn off all apps from backup and then do a manual backup. If that doesn't work, then this post will not help. If the backup works, then go back to the app list and turn some on and try another backup. If successful, keep repeating these steps. If it fails at some point, then try to zero in on the one app that seems to make the backup fail. (I had this problem and found one app failing, probably due to a corrupt data file.)
This process will take time, but if a backup works with no app data being used but clearly fails with the original settings, then somewhere in the mix of apps is a "bad" one.
