There are following steps you need to follow to back up your iPhone to Mac operating system:

Step 1: Make a connection between your iPhone and system either by a USB cable (wired connection) or setting up the Wi-Fi syncing for a wireless connection. But if you are setting Wi-Fi syncing for the first time, it is required to use a USB cable for once to make a setting in iTunes application for enabling wireless syncing for your iPhone. Just do it once and enjoy wireless connection ever after.
