No it's not true. It's one big practical joke being played on you by Apple.

Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
Remove all of these items in the following order:
iTunes
Apple Software Update
Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall press on)
Bonjour
Apple Application Support
Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
Please note:
Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

Can't download iOS 5 to my old iPhone 4 - I get an error message saying I don't have enough space on my computer, but I know that I do. How can upload successfully? Or can I hook up an external hard drive to ENSURE I have enough space? If so, how?

I just tried to download the new iOS 5 software during my sync with iTunes on my computer to my iPhone 4, however, I got an error message saying that I did not have enough space on my computer to continue (even though I am pretty sure I do). It offered me the choice of deleting much of the media on my iPhone in order to continue, which of course I declined.
How can I ensure that I have enough space on my computer to download the new iOS 5 software? I don't want to delete anything on my computer and I have already defragged. Can I just hook up an external hard drive which I am certain has enough space? If so, how can I ensure that iTunes recognizes the external hard drive as the drive that it should be downloading the software to?
Thanks

Why, if it told you you have insufficient space on your computer, would it suggest making more space available on your phone?
At a guess, you have insufficient space on your phone. Installing software will typically require more space than the final size of the software, perhaps even twice or three times as much, for the installation process. You can easily dump some videos or music temporarily, and then synch them back in afterwards.

I cannot update my itunes to the latest version? I get an error message saying "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable. Click ok to try again, or enter an aternate path to a folder containing the installation ...

.... package 'iTunes.msi' in the box below."
I also get the following message when I try again that the path cannot be found for iTunes.msi

Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (The results from mydigitallife and Major Geeks are worth checking.)
After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
Quit out of CleanUp. Restart the PC, and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

Restored phone, and now i get an error message saying "itunes cannot connect to this iphone" error code: 0xE800000A

so i restored my phone and updated to ios 6, but now my itunes isnt recognizing my phone, and all of my contacts/pictures/messages etc are gone. please help. i'm having so many problems with this update, and i've never had a problem with an apple product yet.

Is your iPhone turned on or off? Are you still able to use it? If yes, sync everything to your iCloud so everything is saved. The following steps/suggestion will delete all your data so it is important to sync everything to your iCloud or iTunes:
Again, WARNING: This will restore the iPhone to factory setting.
Connect your iPhone to your computer and launch iTunes, turn your iPhone off (hold down power button), hold down power button (on top) while holding the home button (middle button/the only button on the iPhone) for 10 seconds. After 10 seconds, release ONLY the power button (on top) while continuing to hold down the home button (middle button/the only button on the iPhone) until a message appears in iTunes.
Then you can try updating yout iPhone again..
I hope this helps! Good luck.

I just downloaded the latest itunes update 11.1 and now I get an error messages saying "The item 'iTunes.exe' that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly."

I just downloaded the latest itunes update 11.1 for windows 7 and now when I try to open itunes with the shortcut on my desktop I get this error message: "The item 'itunes.exe' that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly." I can't open itunes at all. Is there anything I can do or is there a problem with the new update?

Start > Programs = Firefox
Does that shortcut work?
If so, delete the current shortcut that is in the Quick Start tray and drag the one that is in Start > Programs down there.

I was using iTunes on a PC forever and never had a problem. I recently bought a macbook and now I get an error message saying that it cannot connect to iTunes store. Secure network was rejected. Any ideas?

I keep getting a message that says "we cannot complete your iTunes store request. Secure network connection was rejected. There is a problem in iTunes. Please try again later." I never got this message on our PC, but recently bought a MacBook Pro and now I get this message. I'm the only one using the computer. I also get a similar message intermittently on my iPhone as well. Anyone have any idea what would be causing this? I tried syncing my phone with iTunes to see if that would do the trick, but the music didn't even transfer over to the macbook. Any help would be appreciated.

iTunes match is a subscription that you have in when you were still in the UK. According to the terms & conditions you'll need to wait for the susbcription to end before you can change your country to iTunes Store USA.

I get an error message saying extension cannot be installed as it requires dreamweaver version in range of inclusively between 12 and 15

As of today I am unable to update extensions as it indicates dreamweaver version in range of inclusively between 12 and 15 is required. I uninstalled/reinstalled DreamWeaver and also uninstalled/reinstalled extension manager, that did not resolve the issue.

I also have the same issue, and same error messages. Using CC 2014.1.
Please fix as it is preventing work being completed.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
