Q: how can I back-up my phone using itunes?

Hello there!

 

I'm new in the Apple world. I have an iPhone 5S version iOS 9.0.1. I also have a MacBook Pro OS X Yosemite.

I have recently started working with video production and found I need some more information as to how to deal efficiently with the overwhelming amount of information and resources Apple offers.

 

Could anyone tell me where I could start?

 

Thank you very much!

    1. Open iTunes and connect your device to your computer.
    2. Save content that you downloaded from the iTunes Store or App Store by clicking File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. Then wait for the transfer to finish. If you're using Windows and you don't see a File menu, hold down the Control and B keys.
    3. If you want to save Health and Activity data from your iOS device or Apple Watch, you’ll need to encrypt your backup: Select the box called Encrypt [device] backup and make a memorable password.

      Write down your password and store it somewhere safe, because there's no way to recover your iTunes backups without this password.If you don't need to save your Health and Activity data, you can make a backup that isn't encrypted. Just click Back Up Now. If you're using Windows click File > Devices > Back up (if you don't see a File menu, hold down the Control and B keys).
    4. After the process ends, you can see if your backup finished successfully in iTunes Preferences > Devices. You should see the name of your device with the date and time that iTunes created the backup. If you encrypted your backup, you should also see beside the name of your device.
