BONJOUR for windows xp *SOLVED* FIX!!!

Thank you!!! This worked perfectly on my husbands PC! 🙂

I will try this....here is my issue

I am trying to share my itunes library on a windows Xp SP 3 machine with my two macbooks. Itunes in the PC says Bonjour service is not on. I have uninstalled and installed bonjour from on the PC. I even went to Admin Services in Control Panle and found the place to turn on Bonjour. When I started bonjou I got an error meesage the said "refer to service specific error code 87". I am stumped for now. Can anyone help??

didnt work for me :>((

Hi there,
I found with my setup that when I uninstalled and reinstalled tcpv6.
I could successfully share library's and remote to iTunes from iPad!
I am now a very happy old guy.


Good luck

I have tried this but with no result - any other suggestions?

The above processes won't work for most people. Follow these steps instead:

FIRST: Install Bonjour from the link above.

Using Windows Explorer, go to C:/Program Files/Bonjour/ and rename these 2 files:

* mdnsNSP.dll to mdnsNSP.bak
* mDNSResponder.exe to mDNSResponder.bak


Install iTunes (it will fail, do NOT click Cancel at that point)

Refresh the Bonjour folder. Delete the files:

* mdnsNSP.dll
* mDNSResponder.exe


Rename the following files:

* mdnsNSP.bak to mdnsNSP.dll
* mDNSResponder.bak to mDNSResponder.exe


Finish install of iTunes
