Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply
ask a new question.
I have a system (Dell Precision 390 Workstation) w/4gb memory running Windows XP Pro. Lately everytime I start my computer I get a crash. I think it started when I updated iTunes.
Does it seem to you that bonjour is actually the cause of the crashes? I tend to have random computer crashes here and there, but when I try to restart, my computer will usually fail to completely boot for 4-8 tries. I've gone about uninstalling bonjour, and can only hope that my computer will not crash once again. I'm wondering if we have the same problem.
I've had the same issue and it took me hours to track down after an Apple software update (after the update iTunes would no longer load) as Apple's support site has you go through disabling ALL startup items and services and then one by one turning them on to find the culprit.
Well after hours of this (turn one or two on, reboot, test again, etc) I found that all my startup items are okay, and all my services are okay - EXCEPT BONJOUR!
If I allow the Bonjour service to start THEN iTunes won't start.
So since I don't need Bonjour anyway that I can tell, I've disabled that service and now iTunes loads and works just fine.
Apple just doesn't write the best software apparently imo.
I'm just surprised Apple haven't even acknowldeged the problem. The new version of Bonjour and iTunes is horrible. In fact the version of iTunes before this was diabolical, horribly slow and crashing all the time. I can open iTunes no problem but when I do it crashes Bonjour. The problem is I use Bonjour to stream the iTunes library. So I have no music and Apple won't even try to help. It can't be hard to roll back the software to athe last working version then apply it as an update while they sort out there problem. Seems to me like Apple has no intrest in something unless there's a profit in it like the iPad. SO APPLE GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER AND AT LEAST EVEN RESPOND TO THIS POST...
