I am planning on giving my iPad to son. I want to reset it for him but, first, I want to offload the photos and contacts onto my PC. I have found that if I use the iCloud, as soon as I shut iCloud off, all the photos and contacts are gone from PC. This is a pain. Can anyone help?

For photos:
- Connect your iPad to PC
- Open Computer>Portable Devices>Internal Storage>DCIM, then drag/copy photos to another folder on your PC
For contacts:
- Log in to your iCloud account from a browser on your computer
- Select one or more contacts in the contacts list.
- To select several adjacent contacts, click the first one, then Shift-click the last one. To select multiple nonadjacent contacts, Command-click them on a Mac or Control-click them on a Windows computer.
- Click the cogwheel button on the bottom right and choose Export vCard from the pop-up menu
