What it is for Bonjour? Is something wrong if I deactivate the program?

hi there, I don't know which is the main use of Bonjour, I don´t know it is or not good to deactivate or uninstall the program. I was going to do that, but in other forums I read that getting done that action could have bad results on iTunes, so I didn't do that because I use iTunes for my music, for appstore, etc.


Could someone help me?
Thank you btw

Hi Okram21,



Bonjour is a program that was most likely installed with iTunes, and it is recommended that you keep it installed. For more information, you can refer to the following resource:

iTunes uses Bonjour to find shared music libraries, to find AirPort Express devices for streaming music to, and to find Apple TVs.



Thanks,


Matt M.
