new bonjour/new itunes= Bonjour Serviceerror in event viewer windows 7

posted this in itunes forum but the only way i can stop error from piling up in event viewer is turning off Bonjour Service from Automatic to Disabled

+the errors come in blocks of 4 (with non consecutive numbers 540-544-548-536) when i start itunes for my iphone 3gs+

this is a clean install of windows 7 professional 64 bit

never had a problem with itunes... nothing ever logged in event viewr thru xp/vista ultimat 64 bit and windows 7 until 3/31/2010 update of itunes which i never should have done... no ipad! 9.1.079 previous version 9.03 worked like a champ fast iphone backups that were like 2 minutes and now it looks as if it's freezing at times but its just going super slow like 6-8 minutes.

above message in my event viewer since i updated to this lousy release....

have had bonjour messages before but back with vista last year...new machine running solid and steadt windows 7 64 bit with a reliabilty rating from administrative tools of 10 for past months prior to this update...anyone seeing this and if so is there a fix?

first few backups took for ever on my iphone 3gs..... most go quickly again now.
don't sync too many things other than videos.


as a side note to any user who might be able to help.... i only sync "sync only checked songs and videos" in iTunes on "Summary" tab Devices>Mark's iPhone

looking in windows firewal bonjour has pretty much free reign inbound and outbound.

i use nav 2010 antivirus which unlike older versions has been great since 2009 redesign (small footprint and very little resource use) although with 12gbs ram at 1600 i don't get any issues with apps eating ram.

really would like to get to the bottom of this error as i like running a lean,mean running machine.

based on google responses i am amoung the many windows users who have had more issues with this poor apple release update than any i can remember.

so after all this is there another version of bonjour that will work with windows 7? like previous version i could install after cleaning out the new one.

I've been getting 3 event viewer errors every 3 minutes or so since -- as far back as the event viewer archive goes, around May. I must say, these forums are not helpful. I've removed Bonjour from my computer -- in all honesty, I never was sure what it was for and I have a feeling it was bundled when I installed Apple programs I actually use. iTunes and Safari. Both rarely.

I'm getting swamped with 3 Bonjour errors in the event log every 16 seconds - and I'm using XP not Windows 7.

I had it before, in iTunes 9, and hoped that the latest upgrade to iTunes 10 would help - it made no difference.

If anyone gets a solution, I'd be grateful - it does render the Applications log useless, because any other errors just get swamped.

Hey guys!
Doguru solved it allready (see above). I had exactly the same problem and I found that qttask was deactivated - also do that most of the time - bonjour was enabled. After enabling qttask.exe and a reboot (manually starting doesn't work!) the problem was gone.

I used Sysinternals autoruns to disable qttask.exe in the first place - so just had to reactivate it...

Thanks to doguru!

Hi Rotti,

How did you re-enable qttask.exe and iTunesHelper?

I don't see qtttask or iTunesHelperin the list of services (My Computer>manage>Services and Applications>Services). I also don't see qttask.exe in the list of running processes in Task Manager. (iTunesHelper.exe is there though).

This is with iTunes 10.1.2.17 and QuickTime 7.6.9 (1680.9) on Windows XP.

I've also done a search across the whole hard drive for qttask.exe, but couldn't find it.

Thanks,

Antun
