Welcome to the Apple Community.
Use your back up on your mac/PC and re-add your contacts to Address Book or whatever contact software you use. -
What do I need to do before giving an old iPhone to someone else?
I recently upgraded my IPhone from the 3GS to 5. I have a friend that is interested in using my old phone as an IPod only. I am assuming I have to remove the sim card so it won't function as a phone. Is that correct? Then erase all my content and settings. My question is, if I erase all my content and settings, how do I keep it from deleting the same stuff on my new phone and mac items that are connected to ICloud. Will simply turning ICloud off on the old phone take care of this?
- Paul GoodmanYes. Turning off iCloud does not delete the contents stored in the 'cloud' - just the local copy on the device.

HT204053 i gave my old phone to my daughter. i want all the info from the phone onto my Macbook
how do i get the information, photos, contacts. etc from the iphone 4 to my macbook
If you're running OS X Lion or higher, sign into the same iCloud account on your phone and your Mac and turn the data you wish to share to On, as explained here: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/mac.html.
If you have iPhoto 9.2 or higher or Aperture 3.2 or higher you can enable photo stream to import new photos added to your camera roll to your Mac. If you don't have these, or wish to transfer existing photos, they can be imported to iPhoto as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083. -
I recently gave my old iPhone to my nephew, I did not clear out my old phone before I gave it to him, when he transferred to his account, he had my iCloud info on the phone, and it updated the contacts on my new iPhone 5 to his contacts. Is there any way for me to get my contacts back?
This is caused by using the same iCloud account on both phones. When you do this any data you sync with the shared iCloud account such as contacts is merged and will appear on all devices connected to the account. To fix this you both need to have separate iCloud accounts (you can continue to share the same Apple ID for purchasing from the iTunes and app stores).
Decide which iPhone will be keeping the current iCloud account. On the one that will be changing accounts, if you have any photos in photo stream that are not in your camera roll or backed up somewhere else save these to your camera roll by opening the photo stream album in the thumbnail view, tapping Edit, then tap all the photos you want to save, tap Share and tap Save to Camera Roll.
Once this is done, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. (This will only delete the account from this phone, not from iCloud. The phone that will be keeping the account will not be effected by this.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data, be sure to select Keep On My iPhone. Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID (if you don't have one, tap Get a Free Apple ID at the bottom). Then turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On, and when prompted about merging with iCloud, choose Merge. This will upload the data to the new account.
Finally, to un-merge the data you will then have to go to icloud.com on your computer and sign into each iCloud account separately and manually delete the data you don't want (i.e., deleting your nephew's data from your account, and vice versa).
As for recovering your lost contacts, if they aren't on icloud.com when you check from your computer, you will have to recover them from a backup source. You could try restoring to your last backup but this doesn't always work for contacts. (Chances are you nephew deleted your contacts from his phone, not realizing it would also delete them from yours.) -
My son recently sold my old iPhone to someone. Now everything He texts on his new iPhone is also showing on the phone he sold. Can someone instruct me on how to control this? I'm confused.
Why was the phone not erased prior to selling it?
Change the password to the Apple ID account that's used for iMessage on both devices. -
Has anyone tried getting a new phone and then giving your old phone to someone else? because if you have, did you deactivate your iphone on your support profile before so? and will the person who gets it be able to activate it as thiers again afterwards?
Just follow the directions here:

That's all you have to do. -
I gave my old iPhone 3GS to a friend after re-setting phone to the factory defaults. But obviously that didn't get rid of all my contacts, and when he erased them, they've been erased from my phone too. I have mine backed up in iTunes, so I can restore them, but how do I stop it happening again? Thanks for any help!

had a text telling me my old iPhone 3GS has now been unlocked. Inserted Orange SIM (from daughter's working phone) and iTunes says no SIM installed. Help please
Kilted Tim is correct, did you plug it in to iTunes to complete the process? I assumed you would have done so, but I shouldn't have assumed.

My old computer has crashed with my old itunes on it. How can I transfer my music from my iphone to my new itunes library?
Use the backup of the old computer and copy the iTunes files to the new one.
However, since you are writing here, you probably didn't have a backup, so check out this user provided support document https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141 -

If you are saying you have deleted them, you can't restore them unless you have a back up and can restore the whole device.
