I've recently downloaded the new iTunes 5.0, upgrading from 4.9 and whenever i reach the near end of installation, an alert box comes up with the following:

"Error 1920. Service Bonjour Service (Bonjour Service) failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services"

And after that error I have to cancel installation. What's Bonjour Service?! Has anyone else had this problem? How can I overcome this? This is ridiculous... I CAN'T even install iTunes now.

bonjour is apple's implemtation of upnp. I'm not quite sure why iTunes needs it.... That is the real question!

I believe iTunes uses Bonjour to share music over a network

we didn't need that service before 5....

Yeah how many services is Apple planning on installing for a bloody music player program.

Now I like iTunes but this is getting stupid.

I noticed this is service has replaced itunes helper... maybe itunes helper did the same thing?

The same thing happened to me and i havent been able to fix it- i dont even know what bonjour service is - i jsut want my itunes back because windows media player i giving me the shits. How do i fix this problem?

Are you logged in as the admin?

If so, have you tried this?

Start - Run - 'services.msc'.
Find 'Bonjour Service' and set the startup type to manual

iTunes 5 died on me today and just kept crashing every time I tried to open it so have managed to uninstall and go back to 4.9 which seems to be working.
