Yes.
See the chart below to determine whether you can upgrade your device and what you can upgrade to. If you do not have a Software Update option present on your iDevice, then you are trying to upgrade to iOS 5 or higher. You will have to connect your device to your computer and open iTunes in order to upgrade.

How do I get my data reloaded after updating my iphone with the new IOS 6.)/

I downloaded the IOS 6.O updated for my iphone. It backed up my data, but I can not get it to restore it. My music and apps were removed. When I try to sync it in itunes an error comes up that this iphone is not allowed to sync. What do I need to do?

Music and apps are not part of the backup that itunes performs at all.
You should be transferring all purchases to your computer regularly. Did you fail to do this?
If you failed to put your music on your computer, not good, then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
What exactly does the error message say?

I updated my iPhone with the new update..and afterwards it turned off and instead of turning back on it tells me to plug it into iTunes..then iTunes tells me my phone is in recovery mode and I need to restore it..is there anything I can do w/o restoring?

I updated my iPhone with the new update..and then it turned off...instead of turning back on it tells me to plug it into iTunes..and when I do iTunes tells me that my phone is in recovery mode and needs to be restored..is there anything I can do without restoring it?

Same thing happened here ~ tech guy at a local authorized Apple repair store said it had something to do with improper backup from which the restore would be made. Still have a phone that asks to be connected to Itunes but won't do anything else . . . frustrated.

My friend has an iPhone but doesn't use iMessage. How can I send her regular texts with the new iOS 7 update?

My friend has an iPhone but doesn't use iMessage. How can I send her regular texts with the new iOS 7 update?

That's because her phone is recognized in the Apple database as an iPhone. It should eventually convert to SMS but that's above my level of expertise here so hopefully someone else can come along and help you further. She could just turn on iMessage and solve the problem. Ha!
Good luck!

HT4865 i changed my apple id and password but how can i update my iphone with the new apple id and password?

You have to delete the old account, provide the password for the ID when prompted to turn off Find My iPhone, then sign back in with the ID you wish to use. This deletes the account and your iCloud data from your device, but not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account, your iCloud data will reappear on your device when you sign back in.
To avoid losing photo stream photos that are not in your camera roll, save them to your camera roll before deleting the account (open your my photo stream album, tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward facing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll).

Delete the pairing and then re-pair the devices.
There are no supported methods to downgrade the iOS.

I can't download my photos from my iPhone with the new ios - I don't want to be charged for mobile me

i can't download my photos from my iPhone with the new ios - I don't want to be charged for mobile me - and I want to control what's on what device - can anyone assist me?

import photos using iPhoto on your mac.
plug your phone in, open iphoto if it doesn't open automatically.
your device should open up in iphoto so you can view your pictures. click import all and you can choose to delete from device after import or not.

I bought my Whatsapp from a friend's account, because my account buys only free apps. Thing is, if I updated my iPhone to the new iOS 5, will I lose Whatsapp?!

When installing iOS 5, the iPhone is backed up first (which does not include any iTunes content including 3rd party apps) followed by being completely erased before iOS 5 is installed. This is followed by the backup being restored and all iTunes content in your iTunes library that is selected to be transferred to your iPhone being re-transferred.
If the app is in your iTunes library, you shouldn't lose it, but since this app was downloaded with your friend's iTunes account, I'm not sure how the app wll be re-transferred unless your computer is also authorized with your friend's iTunes account with iTunes.
No promises.

No. It's an app from the AppStore. Like all other apps from the AppStore you choose which ones to download.

Restore from your backup. You do have a backup from prior to when you performed the update, right?

HT201184 Why can't I update my MacBook with the latest iTunes application?

I purchased a MacBook in 2009. I tried connecting my new iPhone in order to Sync with iTunes, but I'm prompted to update my iTunes on the Apple website. When I do the update, I receive a message that my computer doesn't accept the update. What could be wrong?

Run this update:

Disable any antivirus and firewall software installed on your computer. They can interfere with the update process.
