How to restore your contacts to iphone 5 from iPhone 3GS?
I just got the iPhone 5 today. I want to get all my contacts from my iPhone 3GS to my iPhone 5 but I'm not sure if I had a iCloud. If that makes any sense. I already set my iPhone 5 up and there's no service on my iPhone 3GS so I can't check to turn my iCloud on.
Connect your iPhone 3gs to iTunes first and mack a backup for your contacts. Disconnect it. Connect your iPhone 5 to iTunes and it will ask you to restore from a prvious backup and comfirm this option.

- My contacts keep changing into my parent's contacts? I'm using my Dad's old iPhone 4, so it has all of his data. I cleared out everything that was his but I hate the part where each time my parent's add a new contact to their phone, everything syncs over to my contacts, so I'm scrolling down my list and see a new person I don't know but my parents do. Is there a way to change this?
