Not looping

I have a issue that my frame 251 and 1 don't match, hence my animation does not loop. I believe I am having some issues when I copy and paste the noise and mapping node and I copy and paste the key frames. On the graph editor the little arrow on the tool bar to toggle on/off only selected does not match yours and I don't think its copy and pasting correctly how can I fix this ? Thanks.

    I believe I am having some issues when I copy and paste the noise and mapping node and I copy and paste the key frames.

    After duplicating the mapping and noise nodes, on frame 1, did you reset the Z location on the duplicated mapping node to 0.00, before adding a keyframe?

    The shouldn't match on the same mapping node.
    On the first mapping node you should have a keyframe on frame 1 and 251, the second mapping node should have a keyframe on 251 and 501. 
    Frame 1 on the first mapping node should match frame 251 of the second mapping node.
    251 on first = 501 on second.  

    Make sure you select the first mapping node, then in the graph editor select everything with 'A', and copy with CTRL+C, select the second mapping node, in the graph editor paste with CTRL+V and SHIFT+E > Linear. Then move the keyframes with 'G, X then 250', so frame 1 is now on frame 251.

    The end frame of the animation is 250, right?

    Can you elaborate a little on what is different about 'only show selected' button in the graph editor?
