Have you ever backed up your iPhone to a computer? Few people do even though everyone should.<\/span><\/p>\n

For most of us, our entire lives hinge on carrying a small pocket computer around with us everywhere we go. Need to pay for something? Grab your iPhone, and scan your credit card. Are you lost? Just reach into your pocket to find out where you are <\/span>und<\/span><\/i> how to get where you want to go. Feel like reminiscing? Scroll through thousands of your photos instantaneously.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Oh, and you can talk and text, too.<\/span><\/p>\n

The point is, nearly everything you need or want to accomplish in a day can be done with the help of your iPhone. Our devices have become so integral to our daily lives, doctors commonly see injuries from overuse. You could be the next victim of text claw, cell phone elbow or bone spurs on the back of your skull.<\/span><\/p>\n

Clearly, we\u2019re using our iPhones a lot. Whether the amount of use is good or bad is a debate for another day. What isn\u2019t up for debate is the importance of backing up your iPhone to a computer.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Why backup your iPhone to a computer?<\/span><\/h2>\n

The answer may seem like a no-brainer, but few people actually do take the time to back up their iPhone. So here are a few reasons you may not have considered to backup your iPhone, and back it up now!<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t lose your memories<\/span><\/h2>\n

Valuable emotional data is probably what most people think of when they consider backing up their phones. They want to save their pictures!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Most people have <\/span>more than 600 pictures saved to their phones<\/span><\/a>, although there are many, many iPhone users with a great deal more. Each photo represents a moment, a memory, a tangible piece of someone or something you want to preserve and remember forever.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you lose your iPhone or are the unfortunate victim of a phone that suddenly stops working, and you haven\u2019t backed up your iPhone in a while, you\u2019ll lose all those memories… and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Making your iPhone yours<\/span><\/h2>\n

Being forced to do a factory reset on an iPhone without a reliable backup is the worst, plain and simple. Why? Because you have to spend so much time personalizing your interface\u2014especially when you probably had your setup exactly the way you wanted it! Customizing your iPhone to display what you want and behave the way you need is a painstaking process.<\/span><\/p>\n

You have to set your notifications, add your favorite wallpaper, make sure the security settings are correct, arrange your favorite apps, re-log into your Gmail, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and more. Not to mention checking to make sure your favorite text alerts and ringtones transferred properly.<\/span><\/p>\n

And if you didn\u2019t keep a detailed record of your settings and preferences, including all the passwords for your favorite apps, you\u2019re going to spend far too much time on something you could\u2019ve (should\u2019ve!) just backed up in the first place.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sicherheit<\/span><\/h2>\n

Unless you\u2019re extremely diligent about privacy, your phone contains quite a bit of personal information. Starting with access to your email account(s), social media pages and for many of us, up to and including health and financial information. Protecting your sensitive data should be a priority.<\/span><\/p>\n

Should your iPhone crash without backing up your phone to a computer, you stand to lose all that data. So back up your iPhone, and protect your most personal information.<\/span><\/p>\n

When should I backup my iPhone?<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you generate a lot of data should consider backing up every day. Or it may be that backing up weekly or monthly is all you need. Backing up your iPhone to your computer more often will ensure you lose the least data possible should a failure occur.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Another good rule of thumb is to back up before you download anything. The app store does have rigorous security standards, but anything is possible, and the last thing you want to do is download an app only to have your entire device shut down forever.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How do I back up my iPhone to a computer?<\/span><\/h2>\n

There are two ways to back up your iPhone. You can choose to back up either to iCloud or to your computer.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Backing up to iCloud<\/span><\/h3>\n

This backup option saves your information to your iCloud account which is accessible anywhere you have an internet connection. As long as you\u2019re connected to the internet, this backup will run every 24 hours. Here\u2019s how:<\/span><\/p>\n
