hi,

i did a sync for a friend of their iphone 3gs with itunes and it didnt copy the sms messages and the notes. but from what i can tell it just copied the contacts to the computer. then i did a restore and update on the device to 4.0.1 i believe. and itunes gave that question where if i would like to restore from backup or add a new phone and i chose to add a new phone and entered my friends name on there.

when i tried to do a resync the notes, text messages, and the rest of the stuff didnt sync over. i was just able to get the contacts to sync.

my question is

how can i retreive the data from the previous sync if i chose to add a new phone rather than use the backup?

because since i have selected to add a new device i cannot see the previous backup. my friends computer is windows xp and i am wondering if itunes stores that data somewhere on the computer??

thank you..
