How to Backup Photos from iPhone to iTunes?

Last Updated :

If you are looking to backup photos from iPhone to iTunes, you need to update your iTunes to its latest version. iTunes would use your Mac or PC storage for your iPhone photo backup. You can backup your iPhone photos with either wired or wireless transfer. Follow the step by step process given below to backup your iPhone photos to iTunes.
For Wired Backup:
  1. Make sure your iTunes is updated to the latest version.
  2. Connect your iPhone with a connecting cable to the Computer. Launch iTunes.
  3. You need to ‘Turn OFF’ iCloud because you cannot create backups using iTunes when iCloud is ‘ON’. To turn off your iCloud, go to ‘Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup’  and ‘Turn OFF’ the iCloud Backup toggle.
  4. In your iTunes, on the left hand panel, you can see your iPhone under ‘Devices’. Right click on it and select ‘Backup’.
  5. Your photos (and videos) would be backed up. The location of your backed Photos is “Users(username)AppDataRoamingApple ComputerMobileSyncBackup”.
For Wireless Backup:
  1. Make sure your iTunes is updated to the latest version. Also check whether iCloud is Turned OFF. To turn off your iCloud, go to ‘Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup’  and ‘Turn OFF’ the iCloud Backup toggle.
  2. Then go to ‘Settings > General > iTunes WiFi Sync’ and select your Computer from the list. You would see an option ‘Sync Now’. But by default, iPhone will automatically sync when,
    i. The device is connected to WiFi,
    ii. The screen is locked,
    iii. The device is plugged to a power source.
  3. Your photos (and videos) would be backed up. The location of your backed Photos is “Users(username)AppDataRoamingApple ComputerMobileSyncBackup”.

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug! Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!
