same problem - no help
I have the same problem, except that I do not have an old computer to take the data off as it crashed without a back -up. I need to take all my data plus songs etc off the iphone onto my new laptop. I have posted this question on several forums but no-one seems to have an answer for it. It must happen quite often and there has to be an answer. I think Apple are so paranoid about people sharing music etc that it is punishing guys like us who have a genuine problem.
There are programs on the net which allow you to transfer your songs from the ipod/iphone which is exactly what Apple want to stop, but there does not seem to be anything available to transfer the data.
very frustrating
