It is safe to download if your phone is not jailbroken. Before you download it, however, take some precautions:
Reboot your computer
Disable your antivirus and firewall
Connect the phone cable to a USB port directly on the computer, not a hub
Before updating right click on the name of the phone in iTunes and choose "Backup"
When you are given the choice choose "Download only", not "Download and Update"
After the download completes successfully click the Update button to install it.
Most of these steps are just being overly cautious, as most people ignore them and have no problems. But occasionally the extra steps save grief.

I have over 300 pictures on my phone...my question to someone iphone savvy is why, when I plug my phone into the computer is iPhoto showing no pictures? I want to delete them for space issues. Thanks
I've seen this happen when the phone was encrypted... Other than calling apple/deleting passcodes I don't know of any solution.
If you're keen on waiting, upload your photos to dropbox, that's the way I do it. -
Recently, U2 music appeared on my ipod without my requesting it or wanting it. I was able to delete all of the songs except for one. How do I delete the last one from my ipod? The song does not show up in iTunes when I plug my ipod into the computer. The version installed on my ipod is 7.1.2(11D257).

after downloading the 64 bit version of itunes, when i plug my iphone in, it says that i need the 64 bit version software
PLEASE!!! LOLHello Rob,
It sounds like you have installed the 64 bit version of iTunes, but you continue to the get an error message that suggests to download the 64 bit version any time you connect your iPhone. I understand that you have already uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes, but sometimes you may need to uninstall additional components related to iTunes to completely remove it from your system.
I recommend following the steps in the article below to completely uninstall iTunes (click on the link for your version of Windows):
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
Once you have completely uninstalled iTunes, you can download the 64 bit version of iTunes for Windows here:
iTunes 11.0.5 for Windows (64-bit)
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1615
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Also when I plug my iPod into the computer, it downloads everything that is on my computer, how can I stop this. please help! please help!!!!!!thank you
Is the iPod still singed into the account isn Settings>iTunes and App Stores and SettingsZ>iCloudl? If it is then I would not be concerned.
Also see:

since you may have started the 90 day window.
For the other "problem", go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says Prevent iPod....automatically syncing. -
when i plug my phone into the usb port with the apple charger that came with my phone i get an error msg say charging not supported by this device. But when i use a gigaware (radioshack brand) usb charger, no error msg. Why?
- Try restoring the iPod, first from backup and then try to factory settings/new iPod to rule out a software problem.
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and broken or cracked plastic.
- Could you have damaged something when you took the iPod apart and replaced the Home button? -
When I plug my device into the computer for the first time the setup process doesn't begin. What do I do?
Try to connect in recovery mode, explained in this article:
iOS: Unable to update or restore
Before that, back up your device, explained here:

Dear All,
How do I get my computer to start up itunes when I plug my ipod in.- With the iPod connected to the computer go to the Summary pane in iTunes for the iPod and under Options check the box that says open iTunes when the iPod is connected.
- If when you manually open iTines and connect the iPod the iPod does not show in iTunes:
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
or
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Mac OS X -
How can I get Made In Chelsea from itunes when it is not available on my countries store?
I want to buy and download the Made in Chelsea seasons. But on Itunes Australia, where I am, its not available. It is however available on the British Itunes but of course its in pounds. It there any way to get Made in Chelsea off Itunes? Or will I have to nuy dvds from overseas (something i really dont want to do because of the cost)? Any other solutions?
Your only option is to have an iTS account for that country - you would need a local CC and local address to create an account for the country.

My iPhone 5c has suddenly turned off and went blank. I then tried to plug it up to the computer to restore it but i cant because my phone has a password on it and i CANT TYPE IT IN. Also when i plugged it up it started vibrating again and again constantly. What should i do?
It is probably still worth while taking it to an Apple store for a possible OOW replacement and let them make the decision, as it was broken before the OP took the back off.
See note below... -
