<\/a>You have recently purchased your first iPhone but, due to a technical problem, you have to bring it to service.\u00a0Speaking with Apple technical support, which you have previously asked to know how to proceed to bring your device for repair, you have been told that, before delivering the phone, you need to back up all the data in it.\u00a0So you’d like to\u00a0backup your iPhone<\/strong>\u00a0, and then make a backup of all the data and photos on the device, but you do not know how?\u00a0If things are actually the way I described them, then you do not have to worry about it: backing up is a simple task that you can complete in a few clicks, even if you are not very familiar with your computer.<\/p>\nHow do you say?\u00a0You do not believe me?\u00a0Well, let me tell you, you should really read this guide;\u00a0I am sure that at the end of the reading you will be ready to change your mind.\u00a0To back up an iPhone you do not need any kind of complicated software: all you need is iTunes, Apple’s multimedia software that comes pre-installed on all Mac computers and that is also available as a\u00a0free<\/strong>\u00a0program\u00a0for PCs equipped of the Windows operating system.<\/p>\n Now that I’ve briefly explained to you what you need to use to backup your iPhone, are you ready to pay attention to me?\u00a0In this tutorial I will explain how to do the procedure in detail.\u00a0Keep your iOS device in hand and follow the steps I am going to indicate to you in the following lines.\u00a0I wish you a good read.<\/p>\n As I explained in the introduction of this tutorial, the most common method for backing up an iPhone involves using iTunes.\u00a0Thanks to this software, you can easily copy contacts, messages, applications, photos, videos, songs and any other data stored on the iOS smartphone to your computer.<\/p>\n There is also an alternative way to store all iPhone files on the Internet: in this case, the use of iCloud, Apple’s cloud storage platform, is required to be more precise.\u00a0However, it should be emphasized that iCloud offers free to all users only 5GB of space for online data storage.\u00a0But we’ll talk about this later: but now let’s go in order and begin to see\u00a0\u00a0how to proceed to back up your iPhone\u00a0\u00a0in a traditional way, that is locally on your computer, thanks to iTunes.<\/p>\n As I said, iTunes is already pre-installed on Mac computers and you only have to start it by clicking on its icon.\u00a0Instead, if you have a Windows computer and have not yet installed\u00a0\u00a0iTunes<\/strong>\u00a0, download the program from\u00a0\u00a0the Apple website\u00a0.\u00a0Connect to the site that I have linked you and click on the\u00a0Download<\/strong>\u00a0button\u00a0\u00a0.<\/p>\n Now you will have to install it: all you need to do is double-click on the\u00a0iTunesSetup.exe<\/strong>\u00a0installation\u00a0file<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0you just downloaded to start the installation client.\u00a0Then you have to click on the\u00a0Next<\/strong>\u00a0button first\u00a0\u00a0.\u00a0In case the installation client is in English (and then instead of the\u00a0Next<\/strong>\u00a0button\u00a0you could see the\u00a0Next<\/strong>button\u00a0), then change the language from the\u00a0Default iTunes languages<\/strong>\u00a0drop-down menu to the\u00a0one you prefer.\u00a0Then press on the\u00a0Install<\/strong>\u00a0button\u00a0,\u00a0\u00a0Yes<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0(twice consecutively) and\u00a0\u00a0finally on\u00a0<\/strong>Finish<\/strong>\u00a0.<\/p>\n Once you have installed iTunes on your Windows computer (or started iTunes from your Mac), the next step is to make the connection between your iPhone and the program in question.\u00a0To do this, you must connect the “iPhone” to the computer using the supplied Lightning \/ Dock cable.\u00a0Then insert one end of the Lightning \/ Dock cable into your computer’s USB mail and wait for iTunes to recognize the device.<\/p>\n Please note that if this is the first time you connect your iPhone to your PC, you may see an alert on your PC.\u00a0You will then have to answer affirmatively on the warning that appears on the phone to authorize the communication between the two devices.<\/p>\n Once the connection is done correctly, you are ready to continue and\u00a0\u00a0back up your iPhone\u00a0.\u00a0Then click on the icon with the\u00a0symbol of the phone<\/strong>\u00a0that will appear in the upper left corner of the iTunes toolbar.<\/p>\n You will then find yourself on a summary screen of your iPhone and then you will now have to click on the menu item\u00a0\u00a0File> Devices<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0and then click on the words\u00a0\u00a0Transfer purchases from iPhone<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0In this way you can copy on your computer all the apps and multimedia content that you have downloaded so far on the device.<\/p>\n Once this operation is complete, make sure you have selected the\u00a0Summary<\/strong>\u00a0item\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0from the left sidebar.\u00a0You will find yourself on the backup settings screen.<\/p>\n Then find the item\u00a0Back up<\/strong>\u00a0from this screen and make sure that the check mark next to\u00a0this computer<\/strong>\u00a0is active\u00a0.\u00a0This way all the contents of your device will be stored on your computer.\u00a0Also check the wording\u00a0Encode iPhone backup\u00a0and set a password to encode the backup.\u00a0This is an optional option, if you do not want to save your health and activity data, you can create a backup even without encryption, choosing not to check the mentioned item.<\/p>\n Now you just have to click on the button\u00a0\u00a0Make backup now\u00a0\u00a0iTunes to create a backup of all the data in the phone.\u00a0I recommend, wait patiently for the procedure to be completed.\u00a0The backup operation could go on for several tens of minutes and so be very careful not to remove the smartphone from the computer and do not close the program;\u00a0you could cause problems and damage the backup operation.<\/p>\n Fortunately, it will be very easy to see that the backup is finished.\u00a0Once it has been executed correctly, on the\u00a0iTunes\u00a0Summary\u00a0screen\u00a0you will see the current date and time at the words\u00a0Last backup: on this computer\u00a0.<\/p>\nHow to backup iPhone with
