How to enable Bonjour Services to get iTunes videos to play?

I have been having trouble downloading videos from MIT OCW which , before ,I could download to iTunes or Real . Before, I was using IE9 and more recently Firefox for this purpose .
I began experiencing problems downloading these videos in iTunes so I uninstalled it , then had problems trying to install it (I have Vista 64-bit Home Premium) , the system would'nt download it until I tried it under Google Chrome , and it did install iTunes......
But the problems persisted when trying to download individual videos from a given course . I went through Mozilla and found out it needed an important update (downloaded on Jan. 1,2012)
and I also installed the free trial app TuneUp Utilities , which seems to have done well all of its functions . In its second module , it gave me the choice of disabling several programs to reduce the load....one of them was "Bonjour services" (or close),
and later , i found out it is needed to share iTunes files, etc. Another disabled file was a complement to QuickTime....I suspect5 that is why the video files will not open under Mozilla or IE . I have yet to try Google Chrome .

There is a free browser called Dolphin and it plays m.youtube site just fine and it's free at the IStore, safari is just getting left behind right now it seems ...

    Nothing gets installed on the ATV or TV.

  • How do I get iTunes to keep playing (radio) when I am not using the compute

    How do I get iTunes to keep playing - radio or CD - when the computer is otherwise idle? It cuts off after about 5 minutes and goes into sleep mode. thanks,
    Vlasta

    Hey vlasta4444,
    It sounds like you'll want to change the time it takes for the computer to goto sleep from System Preferences> Energy Saver.

  • HT4539 how to enable my apple id on iTunes? Somehow its disabled and I can no longer download Apps on my IPhone ??

    how to enable my apple id on iTunes? Somehow its disabled and I can no longer download Apps on my IPhone ??

    Depending on why it's been disabled you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
    Or you might need to contact Apple : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
    If it then works on your computer's iTunes but not your phone then try logging out of your account on the phone by tapping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on it

  • How to disable Bonjour service advertising in Yosemite

    Hi there,
    I'm trying to disable the Bonjour service advertising in Yosemite / Mac OS X 10.10.
    Unfortunately the instructions in OS X: How to disable Bonjour service advertising without disabling DNS no longer apply, since Yosemite no longer has /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.mDNSResponder.plist
    I did some digging around and there's someone who made a script to disable it in various Mac OS versions, including supposedly Yosemite: https://github.com/MacMiniVault/Mac-Scripts/blob/master/disablebonjour/disablebo njour-README.md
    I had a look at the script to find out what it does and manually inserted "--no-multicast" as string under Program Arguments in /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.discoveryd.plist
    Doing so, will mess up the wi-fi. Networks only show when wi-fi is off, and turning it on makes it seem like it's off and I'm never able to connect until I undo the changes described above.
    Wondering if:
    1) The result from changes above is expected or is it a bug?
    2) If Apple can update OS X: How to disable Bonjour service advertising without disabling DNS to include instructions for Yosemite.
    3) Did anyone here manage to disable Bonjour service advertising in Yosemite without introducing any new issues?
    Thanks!

    So far, it doesn't appear to work correctly.  I've posted more details in a thread here:

  • How do I get iTune 11 to play complete genre straight through?

    I cannot get iTunes 11 to play through a complete genre from beginning to end. For example, in an earlier version I created a genre entitled World Music - Celtic.  When I hit the genre button, all the albums I put in this genre show up. However, when I hit the play button at the top of the screen, I get the first song of the first album. Then iTunes skips several albums, plays a couple of songs out of oder from another album. The it skips several albums, plays one song and stops. I have 194 songs in this particular category. Really frustrated.

    Do any of the tracks look greyed out? Right mouse click on a track. If it shows Check selection in the popup box select that. If it shows Uncheck Selection they are alredy checked
    You want to click on the Play button to the right of the Genre name. Blues in the example below

  • How do I get iTunes U to play all files, right now it stops after each audio file and I will have to manually select the next one.

    I am unable to find a way to get iTunes U to play all audio files one after the other without me manually playing each one of them.

    Best I've managed is to create a smart playlist in iTunes with the album set to the title of the course.  Have the smart playlist update automatically so that any new postings from the course are included within the playlist. After that you should be able to play the playlist and have all the audio files play one after the other.  Hope it helps!

  • In the last week i hooked up my ipod to change songs, now i can't get itunes radio to play any stations.  How can i fix that?

    Grayed out whee? Computer? On iPod?
    If in iPod that means the music files got corrupted and are lost.

    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        

  • How can you get 2 videos to play simutenously together?

    How can you get 2 videos to play simutenously together so both are playing side by side on screen at the same time? 

    Welcome to the forum.
    As Steve observes, what you are talking about is called "PiP," or Picture in Picture.
    He has given you the basics of creating a "split-screen" PiP, and that should be exactly what you wish to do.
    For more detail, plus more ways to do PiP, I strongly recommend his book, Cool Tricks & Hot Tips for Adobe Premiere Elements 11, from Muvipix. He has an entire chapter (Chapter 10) on PiP, and many of its uses, with detailed instructions on the settings to accomplish it. Just that one chapter is worth the price of the book.
    Good luck, and happy editing,

  • TS1718 I can't get iTunes to simply play the next song on the list

    I can't get iTunes to simply play the next song on the list. It simply stops after playing one song.

    That's consistent with all the tickboxes to the left of the tracks (in Song view) being unchecked.
    Go into Song view and Ctrl-click (on Windows) or Command-click (on Mac OS) one of the empty boxes to do a "global recheck".
    If you can't see the tickboxes, head into your General preferences tab and select "Show list tickboxes" as per the following screenshot (it's for an earlier version of iTunes, but the boxes are in roughly the same place in the recent versions 11.x):
