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.)
Right-click the Bonjour Service and select "Properties".
In the General tab, set the Startup type to "Disabled":
... and click OK.
Restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

    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 page in case one of them applies.
    Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
    The section Install missing components has advice on breaking down the iTunes installer into the individual .msi files which might prove useful if one component won't install normally.

    Update Server
    Try:
    - Powering off and then back on your router.
    - iTunes for Windows: iTunes cannot contact the iPhone, iPad, or iPod software update server
    - Change the DNS to either Google's or Open DNS servers
    Public DNS — Google Developers
    OpenDNS IP Addresses
    - Try on another computer/network
    - Wait if it is an Apple problem

  • When I try to test my app the IPhone says "'%app title%' failed to install."

    When I try to test my app the IPhone says " '%app title%' failed to install."
    How do I fix this?
    My install method is:
    * Open ITunes.
    * Drag my app to the IPhone.
    * Ta-da the IPhone says "'%app title%' failed to instal."
    Has anyone had this problem? If so how did you fix it?
    Thanks!

    You might have to check the prov profile and type of your certificate. The error you stated might arise in following cases.
    Certificate id and app ID (in the app.xml) does not match.
    The certificate and prov profile should match the cause. Distribution / Testing.
    Select suitable option while packaging. Adhoc / App store distribution.
    Make sure the correct device UDID was used for your certificate.
    I went wrong in (2) when I built my first app which costed me the same error as yours.
    I felt FB could have been more organized in this process. I felt XCODE edged over FB in this.

  • When I tried to update Itunes I got an error message telling me to reinstall.  When I try to reinstall I get a message "Apple Mobile Devide failed to start.  Verify you have sufficient privliges to start syem services"  Can anyone help here?

    When I tried to update Itunes I got an error message telling me to reinstall.  When I try to reinstall I get a message "Apple Mobile Devide failed to start.  Verify you have sufficient privliges to start syem services"  I'm not sure what this means, can anyone help here?  Thanks,

    I tried the temp fix you mentioned, it didn't work.  I could not delete all of the old itunes files, the uninstallers would crash half way through and if I tried to manually delete anything it also gave me an error, so reinstalling the older version would not work. 
    Frankly, this whole thing has got me ****** off.  judging by the amount of complaints here, there must be a lot of people having this problem, yet Apple has let it go on for almost 2 weeks.  What kind of inept coders are they employing if they can let an update that completely frags their software get through QA.
    Does anyone know of any programs that will play itunes music files?  I am just about done dealing with iTunes, but I've got a ton of music that I don't want to have to purchase all over again.

  • Trying to install the latest iTunes on my Gateway w/ Windows XP.  I keep getting the message "Service 'Bonjour Service' (Bonjour Service) failed to start.  Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services."

    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.

  • Unable to install itunes 7 due to error "Bonjour service failed to start, verify you have sufficient privileges" mcafee is not blocking it, please help anyone?

    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.

  • 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.

    Often you have to start by using the Adobe Cleaner tool first to remove all the Adobe applications:
    Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
    Then do your reinstallation.

    Help - have tried several times to download iTunes onto my computer and it keeps freezing - sometimes gets to 67% then just freezes all together - have been trying for nearly a week now
    HELP HELP HELP

    maybe you can let us know what the error message says. I would say you need to make sure you completely uninstall any previous iTunes installation/component first. Follow this guide:
