Bonjour service running but itunes doesn't recognize it

Hi,
I have a Windows 7 computer. I had previously disabled the bonjour service due to conflicts. But now I need it to share with an apple tv. I reinstalled bonjour and my system shows it as running. However, itunes (which i also deinstalled and reinstalled - latest version). However when i go to the sharing tab on itunes it says that bonjour has been disabled.
Any ideas?
thanks

Hello MooseRange,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
First, follow the steps in the following article to ensure Bonjour is installed on your PC:
Bonjour for Windows: How to tell if it successfully installed
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2703
If it is not installed, then reinstall iTunes, which will also install Bonjour on your computer:
Download iTunes
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If Bonjour is installed, then it may be blocked by your anti-virus and/or firewall:

My Nano took a trip thru the washer and dryer and I assume it is destroyed. My wife bought me a new one, but Itunes doesn't recognize it, although my computer does. How do I get pack into my music, I don't want to start all over again?

My Ipod Nano took a trip thru the washer and dryer and I assume it is destroyed.
My wife bought me a new one. It shows up on my computer (windows vista), but Itunes doesn't recognize it.
How do I get Itunes to recognize it. I spent a lot of time recording my old cassetes and don't want to start all over again. I just want to get back to where I was.

Did you already try the troubleshooting here? iPod not appearing in iTunes

I can't restore my iphone. when i plug it in, the phone recognizes that it is plugged into itunes, but itunes doesn't recognize it

My iphone charges when I plug it into my computer, but itunes doesn't recognize that any device is attached (I have the latest version; a pc, not a mac; it's a Verizon iphone). Also, the phone's info button (which should tell me the serial number) says "MEID: Unknown". Apple support won't help me without the serial number...
Ideally, I would like a button combination to restore the phone to factory settings, so that I can activate it. Or at least figure out the serial number so I can get tech support.

Serial # is below the model# on the BOX !!
looks like you bought a Craked Iphone and Not a NEW one from Apple direct or the carrier.

IPod Photo still rules! But, itunes doesn't recognize it any more...

Hi iPod Photo fans and experts,
I have an iPod Photo 30 GB model that I just restored, and now I can't get it to show up in the iTunes source list. For the record I am running Windows XP SP2, and iTunes 10. And, I have tried this on two different machines with this same setup with the same result.
The weird thing is, after restarting windows, when I plug in the iPod Photo, the ipod will open itunes automatically. But, itunes will not recognize it. itunes still recognizes my other ipod classic with no problem.
The ipod photo shows up as a usb drive, and is recognized in Windows explorer.
The ipod itself is running V 1.2.1.
I tried the 10 steps listed in the apple support section related to this issue, including reinstalling itunes. I also tried plugging in the ipod in disk mode.
Is there anything else I can try? Is there any way to update the ipods firmware without itunes?

Whenever I plug in my ipod the window comes up asking what I want to do with my music. When I click Itunes it says: IPodService Module has encountered a problem and needs to close.
Did this start happening after you updated to Service Pack 3?
If so, open your Device Manager. (Right-click "My Computer", select "Manage", click "Device Manager".) Is your Device Manager currently completely blank?
When Device Manager is blank after an SP3 install, getting Device Manager displaying correctly again should also fix the "iPod Service Module" crash.
For a manual method of fixing the SP3 problem, see the following Microsoft document:
Device Manager and Network Connections may be blank after you install Windows XP Service Pack 3
For an automated tool for fixing the problem, see the following Symantec document:
Problems occur after installing Windows XP Service Pack 3 or Windows Vista Service Pack 1 with a Norton 2008 product installed

IPhone says "Restore Needed", but iTunes doesn't recognize it. Now what?

My iPhone was sitting untouched this evening. When I woke it up, it said "Restore Needed. iPhone cannot make or receive calls. Restore from iTunes." But when I plug it in to my computer, iTunes doesn't recognize it. I have reset the phone to no avail. What do I do next?

Thanks for the reply. I tried everything suggested. Now when I try to restore the iPhone from iTunes, it says the iPhone could not be restored. An unknown error has occurred (23).
I give up.
Would it be better to take the phone to the AT&T store where I bought it, or to an Apple store?

IPod touch 2nd gen hooked up to computer but iTunes doesn't recognize it

My iPod touch 2g 8GB has always worked fine and synched with the computer, but now the computer doesn't recognze. It is hooked up to the cable and in the USB port. The iPod itself shows that it is charging, so it knows it's in the computer. iTunes should show devices but it doesn't. What should I do? I can't synch new songs or apps. I tried reseting everything and hooking up my ipod to a different port but still the computer doesn't recognize it.

Mac OS X v10.6 or later: iOS device not recognized in iTunes after restart

TS2446 my ipod touch is disabled tells me to connect to itunes but itunes doesn't recognize because my computer crashed and had to have fixed so doent recognize my ipod touch what do i do

My ipod touch was lost and now I got it back but someone locked it up and says my ipod touch is disabled tells me to connect to my itunes. I connected to my itunes on my computer but will not recognize this ipod touch because since it was lost my computer crashed and nothing could be saved on it so I had to reload itunes and start from the beginning so how do I get my ipod touch out of "disabled" mode?

Try authorizing the computer because that may be the problem. And you need the latest version of itunes. Itunes 11.
To authorize the computer go to itunes then press store then authorize.

"Do not disconnect" comes up, but iTunes doesn't recognize it...

i have a 4 gb ipod nano, 4 months old. i tried to update it with the ipod updater, but that keeps saying "Can't mount ipod." ipod does not show up in itunes. i have tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything on the whole website. the ipod has the screen "do not disconnect" as soon as i plug it into my computer, but neither itunes nor the ipod updater seems to recognize it - - so i don't know what it's doing that i can't disconnect it. please help - very frustrating considering it is so young...
thanks for any advice you can offer.

If your iPod is recognized in "my computer", changing the drive letter can sometimes resolve the "can't mount iPod" issue.
Click on control panel/admin tools/computer management/disk management/right click on the iPod to re-assign the drive letter.
Choose something lower down the alphabet, say 'M' or something similar.
The iPod can be confused by any other storage devices assigned a similar drive letter even though they may not connected at the same time.

Sorry... No. Your Device is in Recovery Mode and needs to be connected to a computer running iTunes.
Once the Device is asking to be Restored with iTunes... it is too late to save anything...

When my iphone 5s was doing an update my laptop died. Now it wont turn on it only will show me the screen to connect to iTunes but iTunes doesn't recognize that I have my phone plugged in. I cant access anything on my phone it just says connect to iTunes.

I have tried turning my phone, and laptop off, I also uninstalled and re-installed iTunes.

Hello errod2014,
It sounds like you are unable to see your phone in iTunes after the computer turned off unexpectedly during an iOS update. I recommend resetting the phone first, and then attempting to restore with iTunes again.
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
From: Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset

If you are still unable to see your phone in iTunes, follow these steps for Mac or these for Windows.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

My iPhone is disabled and I've tried to restore it in iTunes, but iTunes doesn't recognize my iPhone because it is locked.'

I have been told by two different AT&T stores to plug my phone into iTunes and it will accept it, and give me instructions to restore my phone. However, each time I plug it in, iTunes says that it can't access my phone because it's locked. What am I supposed to do now?

Looks like your iPhone is disabled because of incorrect passcode. You will have to use recovery mode to restore the phone. Follow this link for details on how to perform restore in recovery mode.
