But the files I want to copy are neither Music, Movies nor TV shows.

Again.. Not Sure...
Until you'd asked I never bothered to try...
...but out of curiosity I wondered if I could gain access to files
if I hosted them first from my Hard Drive through my Apple iDisk Utility

so i chose a document at random, uploaded it to my iDisk
then connected to that through iPhone! and waddiyano? IT WORKED!

OK, doano about hosting a document from a PC, but I know that the
Latest Apple Tech that was in the works before Steve Jobs passed on
was a Utility called iCloud that was open to PC users as well, but I'm
not sure about the System Requirements necessary to use it.......
personally. it's beyond on capabilities on my grossly outdated 'puter.

iCloud
Documents in iCloud
Setting Up iCloud on a Windows PC


Edit:
WOW THAT'S SO KEWL!

idisk? Never seen it before. But sorted my issues out - I wanted to get a file to a particular app on the iphone, turned out to be a convoluted series of syncing steps.

Came across another anomaly this morning - a newly assigned iphone with a known good SIM was showing no service and would only allow emergency calls to be made. Plugged it into a newly rebuilt laptop with itunes installed, and while itunes recognised it, it would not do anything with it.

After much hair pulling and swearing, I gave up and got the laptop set up to connect to our work wifi. Within seconds, the phone made lots of positive sounds and it all came good. Itunes talked to it, found its real name, the phone was happy and found service and all lived happily ever after.

*shakes head*

It's a f'nerkin phone, why do we need to jump through so many hoops just to get the ability to make phonecalls?

So, this is the other info that Carmen discovered (fbk), which might be useful to you too - well, it sure sounds useful - I haven't tried them yet!

And some apps:
Phone Drive = lets your iPhone work as a thumb drive
AVPlayer HD = Media files
Good Reader = PDFs
Pages/Numbers = Word Docs and Excel files
