Backing up your iPhone\/iPad is of great importance. It is the only way to ensure that you won\u2019t lose the information on your device if it\u2019s lost or damaged. This simple guide will show you how to back up your iPhone\/iPad on Mac and Windows.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s important to note, however, that backing up the data on an iPhone or iPad can often take up a lot of storage space on your computer, especially when you do so regularly. Reclaiming this space manually can often be quite a chore, so it wouldn\u2019t be a bad idea to consider using Cleaner One Pro to do it automatically (and quickly!).<\/p>\n

    How to Back Up an iPhone\/iPad to a Mac (Older Macs)<\/h2>\n

    For some earlier versions of macOS, you have to download iTunes to back up your data. With iTunes installed, your device will automatically be backed up when you connect it to your computer, but you can also do it manually at any time. Here\u2019s how to do it:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Download and install iTunes on your Mac.
      \n\"download<\/picture><\/li>\n
    2. Open iTunes. It may ask for your Apple ID info.<\/li>\n
    3. If iTunes requests access to your iPhone\u2019s information, click Continue.<\/li>\n
    4. In iTunes, locate your iPhone from the menu on the left-hand side.<\/li>\n
    5. Turn on the toggle for \u201cThis Computer\u201d in the \u201cBackups\u201d tab in iTunes<\/li>\n
    6. Click Back Up Now and wait for it to finish.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      How to Back Up an iPhone\/iPad to a Windows PC<\/h2>\n

      You can also back up your iPhone\/iPad to a Windows PC. The steps are as follows:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Download iTunes.<\/li>\n
      2. Connect your device to your computer with a USB cable.<\/li>\n
      3. If asked for your device\u2019s passcode or to Trust This Computer, follow the onscreen steps.<\/li>\n
      4. Select your device in iTunes.
        \n\"select<\/picture><\/li>\n
      5. Click Summary.<\/li>\n
      6. Select the “Encrypt local backup” checkbox and create a memorable password if you want to save sensitive\/important data.<\/li>\n
      7. Click Back Up Now.

        Cloud Storage \u2014 Giving You Another Option<\/p>\n

        If you do not want to back up data manually, you have another option for backing up and syncing files across devices: cloud storage. On Mac, iCloud Drive is integrated into macOS, and on Windows there is OneDrive. Both services offer 5GB of storage to start.<\/p>\n
