What happens if your computer HDD dies?

[JSmiddy]

Hi all,
my hard drive recently died. I'm worried that plugging my iPhone into my computer will wipe the information I have from it.

Is there any way I can keep all the data (music, photos, notes, apps, etc) that are currently on my iPhone and sync it to my new computer HDD?

Any help would be much appreciated!

You can always make a backup of your iPhone on any computer. A backup contains everything except apps, music and video. To make a backup, simpily connect it to a computer, open iTunes, right click on the iPhone name and select backup. If you want to get your music off your device, there are special applications for that, which you can find here. With apps, I just recommend you write down their names and download them again afterwards, if you bought them you won't have to pay again since it's linked to your iTunes account.

There are programs that can export Music, Videos, and Photos from your iPhone that are not "Apple Certified" but if you absolutely cannot recover the failed HDD then that would be your last resort.

Here is one application: http://gleez.com/board/tech-corner/software-applications/how-get-music-iphone-and-put-computer
