Re: iTunes 5.0 loads Bonjour Service

said by erwin_mi See Profile :

Version 5 of iTunes also loads the InstallDriver Table Manager service and as the previous versions also the iPod Service service, which loads even if there isn't an iPod connected. I think the following is a safe configuration:
- Bonjour Service: disabled
- InstallDriver Table Manager: manual
- iPod Service: manual (or even disabled if you don't own an iPod).

For all the people who thought Apple keeps its software simple and effective, this must come as a huge surprise...
Thanks- I didn't realize I had even installed it until my firewall started asking permission for it to access the internet- not cool! The site implies you 'install' the program- it sure snuck right by me. Really dissapointing news from Apple for sure.

Thanks again- reiko2

i am new here and would very much appreciate some help. I just recieved my new dell and was eager to get my life in order again, starting with downloading itunes. I too recieved the messages about Bonjour, but it did not immediatly install it..i simply could not finish dowloading itunes. I still want itunes though so what do i do?
