Because there has been no way yet that has worked to get my content off my iPhone 3gs I have been operating with 3.0.1! I am desperate for an alternative means to transfer to my pc. I am really stuck as this has not worked for me. Then I found out that iTunes is such an important part of the 'iPhone transfer highway' and without it being downloaded on the computer you are wanting to use, getting anything onto your computer from your iPhone is all but impossible. Before I learned this the hard way, trying for days to get my phone stuff onto my computer, I did not realize that. The main thing to remember is that iTunes is the 'guts' to just about everything you do between your computer and your iPhone. I don't know why it's so hard for Microsoft to simply put this in easy terms, but it always seems like anything that has to do with 'Apple', they make it as vague as they can. Any photos or videos you have can be added in the same manner (I use Windows Live Photo Gallery'. The music will be downloaded to the iTunes program that you are now navigating in and can then be copied to any other music program that you have on your computer such as Windows Media Center, etc. From here you will be able to backup your entire phone onto your computer and download any music or apps you have bought for your phone to your computer and use them there. These will include 'Summary' (it tells you about your phone as in how much memory has been used for pics, music, etc.), 'Music', 'Photos' and so on. Click on it and a new set of choices will come up for your phone.

When it gets finished, perhaps 2-4 minutes after syncing begins, your phone will appear at the upper left side of the iTunes page. A status bar will be running at the top of your computer, letting you know that Sync is in progress (you will only have to sync your phone this one time and it will remember your phone every time you plug it). There will be the words 'Sync Phone' and you click on that. Your iPhone will ask you if you 'Trust this computer?' and you choose 'Trust'. When you get iTunes downloaded to your computer, open the program and then use a USB cable and connect your phone to your computer. You had to have used an ID when you set up your phone (also, if you have ever bought any kind of app for your iPhone, it will be the same password and email that you use for those purchases). It will ask for your iTunes password which is the same as you Apple ID. Do this WITHOUT having your phone attached to your laptop. It is obviously free of charge to download. You can do so by simply doing a search for 'iTunes Download for Windows 7' on whatever browser you use. However, you DO need to download iTunes to your computer. I can tell you that you can, indeed, sync your iPhone to your computer without the need to download any 'drivers' of any kind. I also have an iPhone 4s and am running Windows 7 on my laptop.
