    Doublechecking. Did you just disable the Bonjour Service, or did you uninstall Bonjour altogether?

    Many thanks.

     

    Uninstalling and then reinstalling your iTunes should also get your Bonjour reinstalled.

     

    For the reinstall, use an installer downloaded from the Apple website:

     

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

     

    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 suitable for  your PC (there's a 32-bit Windows version and a 64-bit Windows version). If the following link takes you to the WinRAR home page rather than the WinRAR downloads page, click the Downloads header in the box at the left of the WinRAR home page to see the trial version downloads:

     

    http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm

     

    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.
