A simple Windows batch script to restart the Apple Mobile Device Service and Bonjour Service with automatic elevation of administrative privileges.

Description

This script helps quickly restart two important Apple services on Windows machines:

• Apple Mobile Device Service — Required for iTunes and Apple device connectivity.
• Bonjour Service — Apple's zero-configuration networking service.

The script automatically checks for administrator privileges and requests elevation if necessary, so you can run it seamlessly.
