Restoring iphone 5
I am using Iphone 5s on IOS 8.1.2 and sync on a Mac OS 10.10
iTunes only has the option of restoring the latest backup. Where can I select an option to restore a backup older then the latest back? Help please

Hello paduskie,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you want to select a backup to use. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Podpora
Restore using iTunes
Use these steps if you have a new iOS device, or you need to to restore after a factory reset:
- Connect your device to the computer that has your backup.
- Install the latest version of iTunes.
- Choose File > Devices > Restore from Back up.
You won't be able to install a backup that uses a later version of iOS than the device you're trying to install it on. Find out why.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,

Hi Mario49,
Thank you for your reply. I still do not see an option to select the backups of different dates. It only shows the latest backup.
For example, if I have backed up yesterday and today, I cannot restore using yesterdays backup since it is not the latest.
The option you have shown me is how to back up, I am looking for a way to select different backups to restore from.
Typically, iTunes only keeps the latest backup
Thanks roaminggnome
