Hi nifty212
Sorry to hear the you are having issues with backing up your iPhone to iTunes. Let's see if we can get that working for you.
I would start with taking a look at the article below. It will have you restart your iPhone, check the different ports on your computer, and checking for security software that may be preventing the backup from completing.
If you can‘t make an iTunes backup of your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
