I've run into a weird situation. My friend's iPhone got disabled after repeated entries of wrong passcodes. I read guides about restoring the iPhone using iTunes, but none of them even remotely touches on the issue of retrieving contacts, notes, photos, etc.
The major problem lies in the fact that he does not have access to the original computer, and has barely connected the phone to the computer anyways. There's VERY important information on the phone that needs to be retrieved.
