Q: Where can I find Bonjour program on Apple website so I can install it?

Where can I find the Bonjour program on Apple so I can install it? I want to run Apple TV and I need homesharing from itunes. As of now, my itunes has no internet connectivity so I am assuming it is because I need Bonjour. I already tried the itunes diagnostic tool which told me I have no internet connectivity. Also, disabling pop up blockers and disabling firewalls don't help. I want to install Bonjour, but I want to download it from the Apple website. Any suggestions?

Apple TV (3rd generation), Windows Vista

    Bonjour is included in the iTunes for Windows installers, so most likely it is already installed.

     

    Can you walk us through the internet connectivity troubles please?

    Uninstalling and then reinstalling iTunes should also reinstall Bonjour.

     

    If you'd prefer not to uninstall iTunes, try the following procedure.

     

    Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:

     

    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/

     

    Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:

     

    http://www.rarlab.com/

     

    Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").

     

    Go into the folder and doubleclick the Bonjour.msi (or Bonjour64.msi) to do a standalone Bonjour install.
