My iPhone 5 is completely wiped, and there isn't a history of my latest backup listed in iTunes, however, I can see a backup on my computer....how can i restore my iPhone with my backup that isn't listed in iTunes?
Thanks in advance!
iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.4
Thanks for sharing this. I was able in Windows to move the backup file to a new computer and restore the backup into a new iphone!.
Question is:
The backup folder have 2+GB of data in 5000+ files. There is lot of backups there!. How I can restore not only the recent one but older backups?
No, that is not what either Lawrence or I told you. To set up or restore a device with an iCloud backup, you do not use iTunes, you must use Wifi.
If you want to restore from iTunes, then you need to hook up the iPhone Gold to iTunes and back it up there - not on iCloud.
This article explains how to do either an iCloud or iTunes backup, and how to set up a new phone from either of those types of backups:

My backup on ITunes 10.3 does not work with the new Iphone 7. And the Itunes 10.4 would not work, either. Now I'm forced to replace MacOS 10.8.5 with OSSierra. And then I'll be able to download ITunes 10.5, and then I'll be able to restore my data onto my Iphone. Ugh.
You need iTunes 12.5 or higher to sync with a device running iOS 9 or higher.
Best of luck,

Your answer totally rocked my restore. Thank you!
You're a magic man! Just did this for my iPhone 6s...still works a treat!
Big headache resolved. Now, to resolve the rest of life's headaches...
that is the issue. there isn't a file named info.plist in the older back up
