Do you need Bonjour to wirelessly sync iPod?

I accidentally uninstalled Bonjour. Right after I added some songs from my PC to my itunes library and wanted to sync my Touch 4G with iCloud to put the songs on. But the iPod wont find my laptop and iTunes usually has my device appear whenever its asleep and I wake it up. The wifi-sync is turned on. Everything to allow it to synce with iCloud is turned on...Any Help?

iPod touch (4th generation), iOS 5.1.1

Yes, and if you deleted it you may have to uninstall iTunes and reinstall it again. This will not delete your iTunes library.


To see if Bonjour is installed and enabled:


Start > My Computer (XP) (or "Computer" if you're using Windows Vista / 7) right click and select Manage.

The Computer Management window will open

In the left column select "Services and Applications"


You should see the following
