I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1.1. Want to upgrade to 6.1.3

I have an iPhone 4 with iOS 5.1.1. Want to upgrade to 6.1.3 because some apps only work with this version. I only get the option to go directly to 7.0.4 (iTunes) which is a bad idea for an iPhone 4 as everyone knows. I should have the right to choose which version I want to upgrade to, it makes no sense to have iOS 7 on iPhone 4. Please advise.
Thanks in advance!

Many people who have the iPhone 4 running iOS 7 have no performance problems, and a number have posted in these forums to say so, and they mean the entire iPhone, not just phone calls. So it is by no means predetermined that you would have performance problems should you upgrade.
But regardless, as tonefox said, you have no choice. You either need to stay with iOS 5.1.1, or you'll need to accept the upgrade to iOS 7.0.4. There is no way to upgrade to any intermediate version.
Regards.

Assuming you are using the current version of iTunes (11,2,2), open iTunes, click "Preferences" under the leftmost entry on iTunes' menu, then choose "Devices".
Find the iPhone's backup there, highlight it, and choose "Delete Backup".

An iPhone 3GS is too old to update to the very latest iOS and you will never be able to use apps that are compatible. The phone is just too old now in technology terms and the app makers have all moved on, so it's time to get a new phone.
Ideally, perhaps get an iPhone 4s or if you can afford it, an iPhone 5s or 5c which are the newest models.

I have iPhoto 08 and have been happy with it. Don't want to upgrade. But suddenly, when I click on an event, instead of all the photos, I just get one- enlarged- and cannot move to the next one. The photo just jumps up or down. How to solve?

I have posted "submit" twice and keep getting requests to submit again. Now being asked to write a summary! Here we go. I have iPhoto 08 and am happy with it. Don't want to upgrade. But suddenly when I click on an event, instead of getting all the photos, I just get a large version of one photo and cannot move on to the others. The right arrow will not move it and the photo just jumps around.

Note the slider bottom right of the iPhoto Window. Drag it left.

Why doesn't iMessage with the fourth iPod touch work with iPhones with iOS 5.1 software?

Why does the iMessage say that someone isn't registered with iMessage when they have an iPhone with iOS 5.1 software?

DId the person with the iPhone activate Messages on his iPhone and has he assigned the number you are call as a Receive At number?

I have iPhone 4. I don't want to upgrade to iOS 7 because people have had issues with that. Is there a way I can just upgrade to iOS 6?

No, it is not possible. When upgrading the iOS on the phone, the only one you can install is the latest version, which for the iPhone 4 is iOS 7.0.4.

Maybe your iPhone was hacked/jailbroken to use another carrier?
If so, now it locks back to the original carrier.

I use iphone 4 ios 6.1. i want to buy whatsapp app buy i cant buy it cos it says the email Id is for U.S why am in Nigeria. if i created another apple id using Nigeria country, will the app work with ma iphone that already have another id to purchase app

i use iphone 4 with ios 6.1. i want to buy whatsapp app but my previous apple id is for U.S using to get free app while i live in Nigeria. if i create another id for Nigeria region to buy Whatsapp app, will it work with my iphone that already have id?

Hello Emmanuel,
It sounds like you are trying to purchase an app on your iPhone while in Nigeria. You do not need to create a new Apple ID to do this. You will just need change the iTunes Store country in your iPhone settings and update your billing information to match the country you are in:
Change your iTunes Store country
Sign in to the account for the iTunes Store region you'd like to use. Tap Settings > iTunes & App Stores > Apple ID: > View Apple ID > Country/Region.
Follow the onscreen process to change your region, agree to the terms and conditions for the region if necessary, and then change your billing information.
