Hello bryana71,
Syncing your iPhone using a Mac is a great feature that is available. There are a couple of ways to sync your content to your iPhone from a computer. You can sync using iTunes or Finder, or using iCloud. When syncing using iTunes or Finder there is some information that may only sync from the Mac to the iPhone, not from the iPhone to the Mac. More information about syncing using a computer can be found in the following article.

The next option is using iCloud to sync information. This would allow for information in apps such as Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Photos, and Notes for example to update across both devices as changes are made. Information about iCloud can be found linked below.
If you're looking to make backups to ensure all current data is saved you can find the steps for backing up using iCloud and iTunes below as well.
