Getting an error message which asks me to reinstall itunes...

Trying to do that now. Uninstalled the first two items but then when I get to the third item, it doesn't seem to unintall in the same way. I don't want to try and uninstall Bonjour (item no. 4) incase something goes wrong.... Please help!


Use the Control Panel to uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and restart your computer:

  1. iTunes
  2. Apple Software Update
  3. Apple Mobile Device Support
  4. Bonjour
  5. Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)

Important: Uninstalling these components in a different order or only uninstalling some of these components may have unintended effects.
