iCloud and iTunes can back up most data on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Connect your iPhone to your computer and open up iTunes. In the left menu, right-click on your iPhone and you will see a bunch of options. Just select the ?Back Up? option and the process will begin. Just be patient, it may take a couple of minutes, depending on how much data you have to backup. To know more about it visit:--

 

Hello. I am trying to sync a Note to my iPhone. I typed in the Note in my icloud account on my PC Safari but the note did not get to the iphone. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? thank you.

 

Are you sure you have your Notes iCloud sync enabled on your iPhone? On your iphone go to Settings > iCloud and check whether the slider next to Notes is moved to ON.

 

icloud is the easiest option though there are others wher you can back up direct to you PC via cable

 

iTunes will backup everything on the iPhone, including music, photos, SMS messages and contacts.
In iTunes, with the iPhone selected on the left, click the Info tab and make sure data syncing is enabled.
Or you can find more information from these two pages of "how to back up iPhone data to computer" and "how to back up iPhone data to Mac".
Good luck.

 

Connect your iPhone to your computer and open up iTunes. In the left menu, right-click on your iPhone and you will see a bunch of options.
Just select the “Back Up” option and the process will begin. Just be patient, it may take a couple of minutes, depending on how much data you have to backup. This is always a good idea to do before jailbreaking an iPhone, in case you need to restore.

Once your backup is done, you can view the backups in iTunes. Click “Edit” -> “Preferences” and select the “Devices” tab. Here you can view or delete your backups.
If you ever need to restore from a backup, just right-click your phone and select “Restore from Backup..”

It is very easy to backup iPhone data using comprehensive software.

 

I just have some add-ons to supply. Actually Itunes is a very inconvenient and cumbersome program if you ask me. Since you have to go through a lot of redundant steps to just achieve a simple wish which is adding some music. The procedure would be" add music to the library", then you can "synchronize" the music in the library to your phone/pad. However if you do this second time, it will erase all of your existed files and then you can put the new ones in. How inconvenient is that?
So I just prefer some other type of programs for data backups and stuffs. Like raid clone and todo backup. They all can transfer data from Iphone and they are much simpler!

 

Important information concerning iOS 9 and iPhone app backup. Apple has completely removed the app transfer to PC via iTunes. This means that you can no longer back up iPhone apps on a computer, neither via iTunes, nor via third-party tools like iFunBox, iExplorer and co.
