Every time you connect your iPhone to your PC or Mac iTunes will automatically backup your iPhone, this is also referred to as a sync.
However if you want to create a manual backup of your iPhone (this is a good idea to do before Jail Breaking the iPhone) then follow the instructions below:
How to backup the iPhone using iTunes
- Connect your iPhone to your Mac or PC using the USB cable
- Launch iTunes (if it does not automatically launch)
- On the left under devices you should see your iPhone listed
- Right click on your iPhone and select “Back Up”
- Wait around a while for this to complete… While your waiting you can subscribe to our RSS feed or follow us on Twitter .
The above guide should work on all versions of the iPhone and the iPad and the iPod touch.
This will create a backup which you will be able to restore back to in the event that you lose your data, we recommend taking a backup before update your iOS.
