Back up your device with iTunes

Open iTunes and connect your device to your computer. Click File in the menu bar at the top of the screen, then choose Devices > Back Up.

If you purchased content from iTunes or the App Store on your device, first transfer the content to your computer to avoid losing it. Click File, then choose Devices > Transfer Purchases. If you’re using Windows and don’t see a File menu, press the Alt key.

To see if your backup is complete, click the device button near the top left of the iTunes window, then select Summary in the sidebar on the left. You’ll see the date and time stamp of the lastest backup.
