    I have an iphone 4 (not sure if its a 4s) and I backed it up to my desktop about 9-12 months ago. It badly needs to be backed up however my desktop memory is full (desktop pretty much banjaxed anyway). Recently bought a laptop and now I want to back up the iphone to the laptop how do I do this without losing everything on the phone? It's a 13gb phone and its still on version 5.1.1.
    All help gratefully appreciated. Thanks..

    To do a backup, first you should install iTunes on your computer. You can download it from www.itunes.com
    Then you just need to connect the phone to your computer with your usb cable, open itunes and select backup.

    There is a step-by-step guide on the following Apple Support page, just follow the instructions at "iTunes - how to backup".

    Depends what you want to take off the iPhone. If it's just apps and data and such then all you need to do is download iTunes, plug in the iPhone, click on the iPhone name and choose the backup option. If there is music on the iPhone you don't want to lose then there are two ways. One is you go onto the old computer and simply find the iTunes library (the location will depend on what operating system you have on your PC) and copy it onto the new computer. The instructions for that are here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527

    If you only have access to the iPhone and want to remove music from it you can either download a program (I use Touchcopy, which is a paid program I got for free through a promotion a while back. I'm sure there are other programs available for nothing that do the same job). That will allow you to transfer the music from your iPhone to your new PC.
