Because not only are you now required to accept every corporations method of ramming advertisements in your face, forcing you to subject to RENTAL software/musicware/movieware and monitor what you do, etc but now you have to install the garbage written by every 5 year old on the planet too stupid, stubborn or ignorant to build for an existing environment. We’re all better then each other ya know but hey.. we’re all cool, relaxed and love everything these days so no one worries (GROUP HUG!)

This functionality already exists in core windows (xpsp2 and up), why is apple adding a second app doing the same thing? Why not hook into the native funtions to do this?

Bonjour is the part of iTunes which helps windows/OSX detect media devices such as iPods, if you disable it you may have problems communicating with your media device.

mDNSResponder.exe is the executable associated with Bonjour for Windows. This service will have been installed on your computer if you installed an Adobe CS3 Application. It is used by Adobe Version Cue client applications to discover Version Cue servers on the local network. For more information see http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb400982

bonjour is part of apple’s communication over tcp/ipv6. it is used in apple networks and if you want to sync your calendar, contacts, bookmarks across the mobileme service leave it on (computer to computer across internet) to pc or mac. itunes puts sync services in windows so you can. this would also allow syncing your iphone. it is unobtrusive and advanced. i’ve disabled it fine to free up resources on an old pc if needed. it might be to your advantage to leave it on if your pc isn’t tanking (it wouldn’t tank because of this.)

What do you mean by “sharing files over a network”? Would it be better to disable or totally get rid of mDNSResponder.exe? Will this affect my iTunes or internet access?

I also came across the same problem, couldn’t identify to which application mDNSResponder.exe was related to. But after some googling, I found out it was related to Apple. I have disabled the service from the services configuration menu and since my PC is not connected to any network, I haven’t had any problems so far.

I guess you could run into problems if you are sharing files over a network. If you are a single user I highly doubt it.

Would there be a problem if we disabled this?
