What is bonjour service and how do I turn it back on?

I somehow turned it off. and now I cant do anything in itunes. plus it wont recognize any of my devices. everytime I go into itunes store it says error
-3212. I uninstalled itunes last night and downloaded it again this morning (I hadnt updated since last year so it was basically new version this time) but its still the same as if I hadnt done anything at all.
I have windows vista.
McAfee program.

None of that should have any relationship to the Bonjour service, which is related to iTunes Sharing (Bonjour is what your computer will use to automatically find and display other computers with iTunes Sharing turned on). Something else is almost certainly going on. Perhaps the information and suggestions in this Apple KnowledgeBase article will help:

Hope it does.

    I Have the same problem, I switched off location services, maps in data, whatever else maps could be involved in nd then just last nite it chewed 100mb... I'm also on vodacom so I'm seeing a pattern here somehow. Siri was switched on however so I switched it off now nd will see what happens. but I'm gonna go into both apple and vodacom this afternoon because this must be sorted out its a serious issue we have on our hands and some uproar needs to be made against those responsible!

  • My projects icons turned to orange in Aperture? I must have pressed a button without noticing it. What does that mean, and how can I get them back to normal?

    Ana Candano, what is your Aperture version? Earlier Aperture versions - until Aperture 3.2.4 had colored icons, Aperture 3.3 and later are gray in gray. Do you have two versions of Aperture installed?
    When you post back, list your version of MacOS X and the versions of any Aperture.app you can find with Spotlight on your Mac.
    Frank, the thread you pointed to, was a different question, but probably is related. It would be good to know how it has been resolved.

    You might have better luck in the iPhone community. I'll ask the hosts to relocate your post.

    Have you tried syncing the iPhone to your computer and restoring from the backup to see if you can get your other songs back? If you purchased the new album with your Apple ID, you should be able to download it to your computer to sync.

  • What is wrong with my iphone4? and how can i turn it back on?

    About a week ago, i was using my iphone that I've had about 6 months, no problems. It was working perfectly fine and then out of nowhere it shut itself off. I plugged it in, nothing happened. I pressed the home and lock button, and held them in, and still nothing happened. The next day I decided to plug it in again, and it told me to leave it plugged in, like it was dead or something (the red battery symbol popped up, and said it was charging) and about 10 minutes later the iphone came back on. The only problem was that from here on out my home button does NOT work, at all.
    The phone was working................ until about 3 days later the same thing happened to it again, except the next day it did not come back on the same way. My mom took it to the AT&T store (living in west virginia, there aren't any Apple stores near by). She came home with it working again, but I have no clue how they got it back on.
    A few days after the second time it shut off, it happened again. We took it to AT&T again, and this time they couldn't get it back on, but they gave us some tips. We plugged it into itunes, and restored it. I was over the amount of space. I had no storage left!! So  I went through and deleted all my music, and about 500 photos (having around 1,200) . I now have about 700 photos, 20 songs, and roughly 15 apps. ONE day after I did all of this, my phone shuts off for the fourth time !!!! (It is off right now) Seeing how I have 3 GB of space left on my phone, I would think it's not a storage issue.
    I've plugged it into the wall charger, nothing! I have tried to reset it holding the home button (which still does not work) and lock button, still nothing. I have now plugged it into itunes. It says the device is found, but not identified please restore the device. So I restore it, but that doesn't help, Itunes still cant "identify" the device and it is still not on.
    I have checked for water damage, and there is not any! I just want to know what is wrong with it, and how to fix it. OR maybe if I just need to get a whole new phone, because mine is under warranty. The problem is AT&T won't give me a new one and there isn't an apple store near me! Can someone PLEASE help?

    I think you might get a new phone instead of repairing it as it takes time and you said the repairing center is far from your living place

  • What is the Debugger and how do you turn it off?

    Hi folks, I'm updating a site for a client and when I open

    http://www.imcnewcastle.com
    I get this annoying pop up from Adobe flash player 10 asking
    if my debugger
    is on this machine or host application and it locks up if I
    try to connect
    to local.
    What the heck is this and how do I keep it from turning on? I
    don't want
    browsers to get locked up.
    Thanks

    It's annoying when you don't want to bebug, I agree, but the
    situation
    you're describing is really useful when you need to debug
    Flash content in a
    browser. ;)
    > What the heck is this and how do I keep it from turning
    on?
    > I don't want browsers to get locked up.
    Assuming you have the FLA source file, open it in the Flash
    authoring
    tool and head over to File > Publish Settings. Select the
    Flash tab, then
    uncheck the "Permit debugging" checkbox, then republish the
    SWF.

  • Macbook has become Macbook(2). What does this mean and how do i change it back?

    Hi
    The name of my macbook has gone from username's macbook to username's macbook (2). Does anyone know what this mean and how i change it back?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    This can happen when the system gets confused about some network connection. It can even happen sharing a printer.
    It is a harmless bug and you can change it back to its name without the number easily, in the System Preferences, Sharing panel, computer name.

  • I just got my iPod exchanged today because I had broken it and i went on the app store and it says that my apple ID is disabled....what does that mean and how do I get it back?

    How can I get my apple ID back and be able to buy apps?

    This is asked and answered often.  The forum search bar is on the right side of this page.
    Try changing your password.
    If this fails, then contact itunes support - click "Support" at the top of this page, then look at the middle of the page for the link to contact Apple.

  • I had over 7000 images stored in Lightroom and they are no longer there. What happened to them and how do I get them back?

    I had over 7000 images stored in Lightroom and they are no longer there. Do images automatically delete after a certain number? How do I get my images back?

    It'll be something you have done. Think back to recent things you may have done. For example, might you have created a new catalogue? Anything listed under File > Open Recent?

  • I have a canadian itunes account, and i used to be able to download apps, now its telling me that i need to have a US account.  What has changed? and how do i change it back?

    I tried to create a US account, but i need a credit card with an american address and i dont have one.  This has only been happening in the last week or so.  I am still clicking the app store button on my ipad.  Help please.

    Is the iTunes app on your computer opening in the Canadian iTunes Store? Go to the bottom of the iTunes Store page and check the circular flag icon in the right corner. If it is not the Canadian flag click it and change the country. Then log into your Canadian iTunes account and sync your iPad.
    Hopefully it is now using the Canadian iTunes Store.

  • Updated to OS X 10.9.2 and now says iPhoto not compatible and all photos from My Mac have disappeared.  What's the problem and how do I get them back?

    Just updated to OSX 10.9.2 at invitation of Apple, but find I now have no access to iphoto and all prior photos in my Mac are gone.  It says iphoto isn't compatible with this version.  All other prior documents, podcasts, music etc is intact.  Where are the photos?

    iPhoto versions older than 9.5 are incompatible with Mavericks. Version 9 or later should be eligible for a free upgrade to the current version in the App Store. Versions older than 9 will need a paid upgrade.

  • Error message saying this device cannot be used because Apple mobile device service is not started.  What does this mean and how do I start service....had these devices for over a year now??

    When I tried to sync my iphone 4 and ipad in iturnes, an error message popped up saying this device cannot be used because Apple Mobile Device service is not started!  What does that mean and how do I start service?  I've had these devices for over a year and update and sync regularly and have never seen this message before!

    I got that message yesterday. I'm new at this so don't know if this is the correct solution but it worked for me. I reset my iPod by holding the 2 buttons down until the apple appears AND I restarted my computer. After that everything worked.

  • What does this mean and how do i fix it:  "service 'apple mobile device' failed to start. verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system."

    What does this mean and how do i fix this so my ipod works again on my computer and itunes:  "Service 'apple mobile device' failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services." I tried "retry", i tried "abort" and started over. I keep getting stuck in the same place.
