Do you have a McAfee firewall on that PC?
If so, try the following document:

Hi, I'm trying to re-install the latest iTunes on my Gateway w/ Windows XP. I had to update it a while back to put songs on my brother's iPod, but my computer froze halfway through and nothing has worked right since.
I keep getting the message "Service 'Bonjour Service' (Bonjour Service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."
I looked through older discussions that told me to go to right click My Computer - Manage - Services and Applications - Services - Find Bonjour and restart it.
Well, the only option that I can click on is Start. When I do, it says "Windows could not restart the Bonjour Service service on Local Computer. Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified."
Where do I go from here? Help would be greatly appreciated, I've been trying to fix this for over a year now with no dice. Also, I cannot do a factory reset (last effort) because it says the administor's account is disabled and I do not have the disc.Sorry if double posting is a no-no here, but I forgot to add that I've already tried disabling Spyware Doctor.

I'm installing the newest version of Itunes over the last version on my laptop. win 7 pro os. it starts the install then a error msg comes up stating that Bonjour service failed to start. verify that i have sufficient priveleges to start system services. I can't retry, ignore only cancel which un-installs all that it has installed and reverts me to the last version which i had. any idea?
it starts the install then a error msg comes up stating that Bonjour service failed to start. verify that i have sufficient priveleges to start system services.
Sometimes we can get past that one by disabling the Bonjour Service prior to the install.
In your Start menu, right-click Computer and select "Manage".
Expand "Services & Applications".
Open "Services". (Perhaps maximise the screen to better see what's going on.)
Right-click the Bonjour Service and select "Properties".
In the General tab, set the Startup type to "Disabled":
... and click OK.

Greetings,
Having a little problem installing Itunes 12. Upon trying to install the program, i'm confronted with this error: "Service "Bonjour Service' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services". Nothing I've done seems to be able to get the program to be installed. It asks if i want to retry or cancel. Clicking Retry only prompts me again with the same error message. After i hit cancel the entire installation rolls back.
I'm currently logged in as administrator ( I don't have any other accounts on this computer), I've tried uninstalling all the components relating to apple along with its folders and restarting+RT clicking>Run as Administrator. It still refuses to install. Very frustrating. Any ideas?Sorry if double posting is a no-no here, but I forgot to add that I've already tried disabling Spyware Doctor.

I am unable to instal itunes (greater than version 7) as it gives me the error,"Bonjour service failed to start, verify you have sufficient privileges" , i have checked on apple support and the only help for this error says that mcafee antivirus is blocking the services however i have never had mcafee installed on my pc. Anyone any other ideas as to what could be wrong?
Hi doywks,
The Apple Mobile Device is a component of iTunes that communicates between your computer and your iPhone or iOS device. The error message you are seeing "verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services" has to do with the Windows operating system. It's possible that you are not logged in as the administrator for your Windows PC. Or, you may have antivirus software stopping the Apple Mobile Device from running.
If you are having issues updating iTunes on your PC, follow the steps in the article below.

Service 'Bonjour Service' (Bonjour Service) failed to start
I am trying to install iTunes and I get a popup that says, Service 'Bonjour Service' (Bonjour Service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services. I am the admin on the computer so I don't see why I wouldn't have the privileges. I also have Safari 4.0.3 running and it works great. I have tried to run as Administrator, and still the same error. I have also tried using a "clean environment," by performing a clean boot and clearing out my temp files. Any ideas? Thanks in advance. I am not running any McAfee software by the way.
Wish I could help but all I can say is I'm having the exact same problem and, I believe, that's why I can't update to 10.2. Why does this happen, and what can be done? Uninstall Bonjour? Will I ever need it? I really don't want to do a complete uninstall/reinstall. Anyone? Thanks--

Can't finish iTunes install. Message: Bonjour services failed to start..
I already had iTunes on my PC, but my daughter got a new iPod as a gift and the directions said to install the latest iTunes software. Once I did that I got almost all the way through the install and got this message: "Bonjour services failed to start. Verify sufficient privileges to start system services." I spent 2 hours on the phone with Apple Support as they walked me through several uninstalls and installs. Nothing has worked. They are now saying that it must be a Microsoft problem. I am the only administrator on my PC.
Can anyone help?I was getting the same message, after searching the net reading and trying different suggestions none of which worked.

When I try installing itunes on my computer it says Bonjour Service failed to start. What do I do?
My computer recently crashed, but we got it fixed and with that, all of the data saved on the computer was deleted. I've tried many times to reinstall iTunes on my computer but every time it says that Bonjour Service failed to register. What do I do?
Sometimes we can get past that one by disabling the Bonjour Service prior to the install.
In your Start menu, right-click Computer and select "Manage".
Expand "Services & Applications".
Open "Services". (Perhaps maximise the screen to better see what's going on.)

Cannot install itunes 9.2 - bonjour service failed to start
Like in many of the other topics, i am unable to install itunes 9.2 on my computer.
I have checked (and edited if needed) exceptions in firewall etc. I have disabled said security as well. I have even uninstalled all AV.
I have tried the registry changes to grant the bonjour service full priviledges.
I have tried giving the bonjour service administrator rights in the service itself.
I have tried retrying at the error dialog extensively (although i did not put much hope into this one).
I have tried installing airport for windows, which temporarily seemed to get bonjour working, but again it died during itunes 9.2 installation with the same error.
Edit:
I have also (almost obvious) tried to uninstall and reinstall itunes/quicktime/bonjour many times, both in my standard startup setup as well as in msconfig'ed startups enabling only specifics to said programs.
Edit end
The exact error from the event viewer=>Windows Logs=>System is as follows:
The Bonjour Service service terminated with a service-specific error 6 (0x6).
Now, i would very much like this to be fixed as soon as possible (as i'm sure the rest of the users would as well), so i can actually use my iphone for music i already own, manage it and so on and so forth.
I have already spent more than 8 hours on this specific problem since yesterday, which is quite frankly ridiculous. Especially in the context of apple products, which in the past prided themself on being extremely stable and userfriendly unlike most other platforms. I do realize that this does not apply in the same sense regarding the crossover between platforms, but as far as i can tell this problem is an old injury attested by many people on many versions of itunes (and other software) in relation to bonjour.
Edit:
I am running 64bit (and ofcourse using the 64bit installers)

Well, i called my telecom company and spoke with the same guy i spoke with earlier. He found a technician, but unfortunately he had no ideas for a solution. Instead i was told to reformat.
Now, as i have quite a lot of stuff on my computer which i should back up but haven't yet, this is a very unappealing option to me. Also, from reading these forums there have been several examples of the installer failing in one way or the other even on fresh systems. And lastly, just because a piece of software works on one computer but not on another it doesn't mean i should reformat.
Now, if i had been told the error 6 (0x6) meant something i couldn't rectify without doing a complete reinstall, then i would probably have been ok with it. So that's what i told the supporter. He however had been told by his boss to tell me off with that.
So instead i asked to speak with his boss. We then spoke a little backwards and forwards about support responsibility, when it is ok to ask for a reformat and so on and so forth. I tried to tell him that it was clear to me that it wasn't really their responsibility (as it's a software problem unrelated to the iphone itself), but that it couldn't be my responsibility either to make that clear for apple.
So after a while i was put on hold for a good 10-20 minutes. After which he told me that he understood my situation and that he would talk to their chief of the supporting division (or something) as that guy is in charge of the contact with apple.
So all in all i didn't get any further, but i did get them to acknowledge the problem at hand and take it further towards a solution.
I'm guessing that the next step will be communication with apple regarding bonjour and either direct apple support, or feedback from apple about what the bonjour error actually means for a start.
Regardless, if i am not contacted mid next week, i will be calling and emailing them once more. -

I accidently uninstalled 'BONJOUR' and now iTunes, the newest version, wont download. A pop up comes up saying that bonjour failed to start and I have to verify my privleges ect. SO PLEASE HELP!!
Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

Bonjour services 'failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient...'??
Arrgghhh!!
Been stuck here for quite a while...
I just tried to download the latest iTunes on a brand new PC (vista) and during download the computer asked whether to allow or deny access of bonjour services. Having no idea this was related to iTunes, i clicked deny. I think there was a little box ticked saying 'remember this action' or something like that. Therefore, whenever it tries to access and download, it denies access over and over without giving me a chance to intervene.
Is this to do with my avira antivirus?? or perhaps a random internet thing??
Is there any way I can change the access rights in internet settings? im going round in circles!!
I have tried many sites but to me it all sounds al gobbledy gook so is there anyone out there who can help me?? thanks
HanWas the message about allowing bonjour access to the internet from the Vista firewall?
You should be able to configure it to allow bonjour access. There is some infrmation about configuring the vista firewall here:
http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-10878_11-6098592.html
there is also this help from Apple:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1609?viewlocale=en_US
It may help if you have McAfee
You can uninstall bonjour if you don't need it, that's what I've done.
There is an FAQ which may help you decide if you need it.

Apple does it again, with another one of your annoying updates. Everything was working just fine with iTunes 11.4. But I was forced to upgrade to iTunes 12, following which iTunes wouldn't detect my iPhone (iPhone 5S 64GB). So I uninstalled iTunes, and have been trying to do a clean reinstall. I've tried everything suggested on the Apple Community but neither iTunes NOR iCloud install giving me the same ****** error every time (image attached). I even tried to skip this step, but Apple for some god forsaken reason cannot run without Bonjour, and the install process rolls back when I click 'Ignore'. Please help!
Try a more recent version of my advice. The "for older video cards version" may work when the default version doesn't.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

HT1926 Installation fails because Apple Mobile Device Service failed to start?
When I attempted to update ITunes, it failed at the starting services point because "Apple Mobile Device Service failed to start". The ignore button would not work. Retry did not fix it. I have deleted all ITunes from my computer, restarted, and attempted a new install. Same problem. Help.
The frequently suggested repair steps listed in comments at http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926 did not work for me yesterday when I attempted for an entire day to fix this commonly reported problem with the newest iTunes update. I now realize that I overlooked one step listed in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923.
My computer has a Windows 64 bit operating system. I should have paid attention to this instruction:
"If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, you'll need to confirm that the following folders have been removed:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Bonjour
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\
C:\Program Files (x86)\iPod\ "
Tonight, I removed those previous version files from the Program Files (x86) directory and executed the rest of the steps listed. Success resulted. If you are struggling like I did to install the iTunes newest update on a Windows 64 bit operating system, you might benefit to recheck that you followed the instruction listed above. -
Went to install new iTunes download. Now get an error when trying to do this. I uninstalled iTunes completely and now is see "apple mobile device service" failed to start. I now cannot get iTunes back on my PC. HELP!!
For those who updated iTunes and displaying the error "Windows error 193 or similar," a way to still use the iTunes download the 11.1.3.8 version of iTunes and install. Before installing something must be done:
* Step 1 - Uninstall the following programs:
1) Apple Software Update
2) Bonjour
3) iTunes.
Step 2 - Install version iTunes 11.1.3.8
If it shows the error "iTunes Library.itl" the solution is simple. Only delete the file in the C: \ Users \ Name \ Music \ iTunes called iTunes Library.itl.
Note: When you open the older version will ask if you want to update. Do not upgrade because it will give the same error in the update.
It is the hint. Could not say it is a solution, but a way to take advantage of the program for a while and wait for an Apple solution. Sincerely Ricardo.
Download version iTunes 11.1.3.8 >>> version x64 (windows 64 bits) https://mega.co.nz/#!QklXGJLA!w58yHjvgYZfFy_rnGCUu4Nh6If-m4AE8OQpi2Xw5RwQ
