iPhone broken screen

[Buzzard2010]

Ok so the subject above doesn't quite cover this but I need some help.

Basically I have an old iPhone 4s. It was synced to an old computer of mine that I never transferred the data from.
I have some data on the iPhone I could do with recovering.

Now, the iPhone has a completely broken screen, but the iPhone itself is recognised via iTunes.
Here is my problem... When I plug the iPhone into iTunes, iTunes wants me to tap on the iPhone that I will allow this computer to access the phone (obviously I can't do this with the broken screen).

So here is my question, is there any reliable and proven way of recovering data from the phone without going through iTunes and bypassing allowing access via the phone?

I know I could just replace the screen for a few quid but I don't really want to do that, i'm saving that as a last resort.

Many thanks

Hey Simon, good to see you back. I'm not sure if it will work with your 4s, but when iTunes asks, have you tried pressing the home button? I just reset an iPhone 4 for a friend on my machine last night and that worked when I was asked the same thing.

Hi mate, good to be back, only taken a little while to get back on here, including moving house 6 times
I'll give that a bash later on, sounds like a good idea to me, if this works i'll be forever grateful and in your debt

Careful Simon. Better find out Charlie's fee first. My Texas neighbors do everything in a big way.

BTW welcome back.
