    To backup your iOS device to iTunes, connect it to the USB port on the computer while iTunes is open.  From there right-click the device name under "Devices" on the left hand sidebar within iTunes and select backup.

     

    If you are referring to backing up your iTunes library content you can refer to support.apple.com/kb/HT1751.
