How to properly back up your iPhone before updating the software?
So last time I updated my iPhone to iOS5, I thought I did everything properly, and I ended up losing all my pictures, videos, and contacts; pretty much everything except for my music. I really don't want to mess things up again updating to iOS7, so could someone please explain in detail how to properly backup everything on my phone before updating?
It's amazing what Apple has on their website. Surprisingly they care a lot about people finding out how to use their products effectively.

I googled your title and this was the first thing that came up.
Use your iclouds and iTunes backup or just head up to Apple care website
- Will updating my iPhone apps affect my phone speed as how updating the Operating System (OS) will? Currently I'm using the iPhone 5s on iOS 8.3 I know if I were to update my phone to the latest OS I may notice some slowdown on my phone's performance, since it may not have the "muscle" to handle certain functions. Many apps now are optimised for iOS 9 and/or the 6th generation phones. Will my 5s' speed performance slow down if I update my apps? Will the app's performance slow down?
- What is the difference between updating your iphone on iTunes or in your iphone? So I'm trying to update my iPhone 4S and I don't have enough storage so I've heard that you can update it on iTunes. What I don't get is what difference does it make downloading it from iTunes or from your iphone directly
- Updating software on iPhone 4? If I plug my phone into iTunes and update it to the newest iOS, will I lose everything on my phone? Like photos and apps?
- Updating iPhone 4 to iOS 6 software without itunes? My phone said it can update software but apparently without needing to connect it to iTunes. So its updating software now but through the phone by itself. Is this normal?
