Diagnosis states :No IEEE 1394 Host Controller found. Why do I do?

I have been having problems with my iPod since I purchased it. I run the diagnosis and it states that No IEE 1394 Host Controller found. I have Windows XP and I have tried everything I can thing of form reinstalling to rebooting to changing computers and I get the same results. A iPod that remains in recovery mode. When I restore the system states that it has been restored and then it says it is in recovery mode and needs to be restored again. I am so tired of this iPod that I'm at the point of giving up. Please, Please, Please help me if you can.

When you run diagnostics it checks for a firewire controller and since the iPod Classic doesn't have one, it displays that message. (IE 1394 is firwire). It would display that message even if the iPod were working correctly.

HT3204 This is wgat my coputer said after running diagnostics on it: Connection attempt to firmware update server was unsuccessful.An unknown error occurred (-9808).No FireWire (IEEE 1394) Host Controller found.

When I run the diagnostic on my computer this is what it says: Connetion attempt to firmware update server eas unsuccessful. An unknown error occured (-9808). No fireWire (IEEE 1394) Host Controller found. What should I do so that I am able to update and restore my ipod?

In the course of your troubleshooting to date, have you worked through the following document?

No IEEE 1394 Host Controller found.

While attempting to update my iPod..actually, just while saying "Do Not Disconnect" my iTunes has been shutting down.
I ran diagnostics on my iPod and the subject showed up -- "No IEEE 1394 Host Controller found." Any idea what this could mean?

I think I am having the same problem, my iTunes is hanging and not responding. I am not very technically minding, and have now been trying to update my Ipod, and my husbands Ipod, for 3 days. In the same time I have, I think, downloaded Ipod version 7.0.1. I therefore do not know if it is my husbands Ipod which is at fault, or the new software. I ran the diagnostics tool and got the following outcome, which leads me to believe that there is a problem with the host controller, however.. i dont appear to be able to do "anything" with iTunes without it hanging, e.g., i cant burn a backup of the library. I have restarted, restored, downloaded the latest version of itunes, all to no avail. Is there an "idiots" guide to this somewhere? I am totally lost and cognitively challenged.

HT1695 No FireWire (IEEE 1394) Host Controller found.

So my sons Ipod is giving this error message after I ran the diagnostic?
Any possible way to restore the Wifi on his device?

If you do not have a firewire controller on your computer the diagnostics will say that. However, firewire was only used on early regular iPods, not iPod touches.
Thus, that is not your problem.
Please provide more information about your problem.

Please Help.... IEEE 1394

Just brought an IPOD nano ma4777zt/a (don't understand 2nd generation / click wheel ?)
and my PC runs Windows XP home Edition
loaded itunes onto my computer by clicking download on web site Itunes 7
Once complete connected ipod via cable and I've got the message
"No IEEE 1394 Host controller found"
Searched for 8 hours & nothing seems to have worked
Please help !!!!

Carefully check the bottom dock connector for any bent over pins or something in there shorting pins together. A magnifying glass would be a help.
The Firewire data pins on the dock connector are right next to some power pins and if you get a short between them, it can fool the iPod into thinking there is data coming in on the Firewire pins and it will give you Firewire related error messages.
For that matter, be sure to carefully check the Dock end of the USB cable for the same sort of problems. It would be help if you can find, beg, borrow, another USB cable, even if you just go to a local electronics store that sells iPods and see if you can test your iPod with one of their cables. Obviously if it doesn't give you the message on a different cable, then your cable is the issue. If you still get the message, then likely it is your iPod itself.

No Universal Serial Bus Controller Found

Just got a 7th gen Nano, worked fine for 2 weeks or so. Then all of the sudden I'm having trouble syncing the thing. Everything else works fine, but it just won't sync. When I plug it in, I'm getting "USB device not recognized" in every port that I try to plug it into.
I tried every stop outlined in the support articles, from resetting, restarting, reinstalling, doing things with device manager, etc, etc. Nothing has worked.
But now, I was just running iTunes diagnostics and I noticed something interesting. iTunes reports:
[quote]
**** Device Connectivity Tests ****
iPodService 11.1.3.8 (x64) is currently running.
iTunesHelper 11.1.3.8 is currently running.

No FireWire (IEEE 1394) Host Controller found.
Most Recent Devices Not Currently Connected:

I bolded it.
Does that mean that iTunes is not even recognizing that my USB drives exist? I have tested my USB drives and they work fine with other things (flash drives, keyboard/mouse, etc.), even my Droid phone... just not with the Nano.
Any ideas? Desperate here.

Hi susanfromluling,
Welcome to the Apple Support Community!
It sounds like your iPod is not showing in iTunes when you connect it and that is what is not allowing you to sync. Please review the attached article to help you troubleshoot this connection.

IEEE 1394 bus host controller issue.

Each time I boot my system (Tecra A9 S9021V) the IEEE 1394 Bus host controller device driver displays that it is disabled with an error code 22 (this taken from device manager).
From within device manager I manually disable the device, then re-enable the device. The device then displays that is operating correctly. The device driver is displayed as "Texas Instruments OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller". There are 2 files associated with the driver - (1) 1394bus.sys (Microsoft Corporation; version 6.0.6001.18000 longhorn_rtm 080118-1840), and (2) ohci1394.sys (Microsoft Corporation; version 6.0.6000.16386 vista_rtm 061101-2205).
I'm running Vista Business SP1 with all updates/patches.
Is there something I can do to get this device to start up correctly?
Thank you!

What is the exact message that appears when you boot? No paraphrasing.
What did you change about the time this started?
Can you do a System Restore to before the trouble began?

P30: External HD isn't detected when using IEEE 1394 cable

My P30 won't/ can't detect my newly aquired Western Digitak Extreme Lighted Drive 320GB when I connect it via the firewire port. I use a 6 pin to 4 pin cable (which cost a fortune, by the way) that is supposed to be a way to connect this drive to a pc.
My ieee 1394 driver seems to be called "VIA OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 host controller".
Can anyone tell me what to do? I really need to connect this drive by firewire because I need the USBs for other devices.
Thank you!

This may sound like an obvious problem, but is the drive:
1. Set to Master on the jumpers?
2. Formatted?
If the drive is not set to master, the computer will not recognise it using 1394. And if it is set to master, but it has not yet been formatted, the computer will register that something using 1394 is connected, but will not know what to do. To format you right click on My Computer, and select manage.

Having problems with IEEE 1394 connection with MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum

Hi...
I am encountering problems connecting devices (portable hd etc) via firewire to my PC. My PC does detect the devices.
I am using the MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum board.
Check with Device Manager show that the VIA OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 Host Controller is working properly.
IEEE 1394 controller has been enabled in Bios.
Need help to rectify this problem.
Thanks for the assistance...

"Host Controller Not Found"

I recently factory reinstalled my Lenovo W510. The recovery discs come with Vista 32 and I upgraded the system to
Win7 64. The device manager did a good job at finding the missing drivers I needed except for two things...
The most concerning problem is that the pc will not recognize any usb device that is plugged into it. The logical
thing to do is download the required usb drivers to make them work. I have downloaded the usb 3.0 device
driver as well as the firmware for this. Whenever I try to run the "USB 3.0 Host Controller Utility" , the system tells
me that there is no host controller found. When I try to install the firmware it says "Not Found the Host Controller"
I don't know what else I need to do? The device manager update utility does not recognize any missing drivers.
Any help?
THANKs!!!!

hey atweiss90,
if you uninstalled the current USB 3.0 drivers. Does your OS install generic drivers for it ?
If it does, could you see if your USB works with the generic drivers.

T61p - IEEE 1394 (Firewire) port does not show up in device manager in Windows 7 x64

I have a T61p. On the front, in the left corner, right next to the wireless on/off switch, is a IEEE 1394 (Firewire) port. However, if I plug anything into it, it's not recognized by Windows, and if I go into the device manager in Windows, there is no IEEE 1394 host manager or ports or anything listed there.
I have rebooted and gone into the BIOS, and I don't see anything in there about 1394 either. Is the port there, but the hardwire inside is missing? Do I need to enable it somehow?

Let me clarify that. I have something in the device manager called "SD Host Adapters", and under that "SDA Standard Compliant SD Host Controller". That thing has a Microsoft driver.
However, under "IDE ATA/ATAPI contollers", I do see "Ricoh Memory Stick Contoller", "Ricoh SD/MMC Host Contoller", and "Ricoh xD-Picture Card Contoller".
I also have "PCMCIA adapters" that has "Ricoh R/RL/5C476(II) or Compatible CardBus Contoller".
So, it would seem I have the right drivers for the card reader, I'm just missing anything for the IEEE 1394 contoller...

K8N Neo2 Plat - WinXP SP2 IEEE 1394 Problem???

I use the k8n Neo2 Platinum with a Athlon 64 3500+ cpu
I installed WinXP with SP1 an everything was and worked ok (there was a VIA OHCI IEEE 1394 Compilant Controller and a IEEE 1394 net adapter)
When I upgraded to WinXP SP2 there was no IEEE 1394 net adapter any more, but the controller in the Device Manager was ok. Sometimes thought if i uninstall the controller an do a check for new hardware changes the controller appears with a Code 10 error, but when WinXP starts no problem appears in the Device Manager...????
Please help i need the Firewire connection to plug my VideoCamera.
If there is any driver for the IEEE 1394 please email or PM me the url.
thanx Nick
PS. If i arrange the devices by connection type no IRQ conflict seems to exists.
Sorry for the "english" but i'm from greece.
Please help....

I manage to make the IEEE 1394 Net adapter appear.
I changed every file that is about ieee1394 of SP2 with the SP1 files but before i restart i renamed sp2.cab (into hidden folder) file because if any change happens it restores the original files on restart. Now both IEEE1394 Controller and Net Adapter appear into the Device Manager but when i connect any device into firewire port is not recognized. I tried my camcoder to another pc with WinXP SP2 and when i connect it a ballon appears and sain that a Digital Device is connected. To my PC nothing happens.

VIA OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 bus host controller Code 10 & 12

Yesterday I finally got my motherboard so I did a clean XP installation (my first board had a falure). The board is a K8N Neo2. The thing is that after the installation I could see an conflict in device manager.
The device that shows a conflict is my IEEE 1394 bus host controller - VIA OHCI Compliant IEEE 1394 bus host controller.
Yesterday it said: This device cannot start (code 10)
today it says: This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)
Is ther anyone that can help me to get rid of this problem?

No "IEEE 1394 Bus host controllers" node in device manager

I have a new computer running Windows 7. It is functioning well, apart from the firewire card not being recognized. I can see that the BIOS does see the firewire card. Pages on the web offering advice on this kind of problems start their solutions with going
to the device manager and expanding the "IEEE 1394 Bus host controllers" node in the device tree. Only I don't have such a node. How can I get the "IEEE 1394 Bus host controllers" node to appear in the device manager?
Windows update reports that Windows is up to date.

This is one of many threads I came across googling roughly 'IEEE 1394 device not showing up in device manager'. After a lot of reading I never found a real solution - until I started piecing some things together. This is what I did and it works, seems very
simple, logical. Thought I should share it, hopefully save someone else the agony of searching and reading for hours.
Basically, what I think is or can be happening -- and I'm no expert at all -- is that there's miscommunication between the OS, the bus, and the device. The OS doesn't install the service for the bus unless the device is plugged in at startup (the external
hard drive, camera, or whatever), and sometimes it doesn't install the service even if the device is plugged in. Perhaps the device is supposed to send a message that starts the service - who knows. Maybe on older devices the driver isn't doing what it's supposed
to do, and perhaps you have no updated driver and can't get one.
In any event, I edited an entry in the registry that tells the 1394 bus host controller to start at OS startup instead of 'on demand'. After a restart, the bus host will load at startup, and when you plug your firewire device in, the bus host will detect
it and run normally... At least it works for me. Here's the instructions:
Go to search, regedit.exe, run program. This opens the registry.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurentControlSet\Services and find the folder that corresponds to the 1394 bus host you normally use or see in device manager. On my computer it's 1394ohci. You might have to do a little digging here to make sure you've got
the right service. There's actually 2 folders/entries in my registry that look similar. I used this one and it's working for me.
When I click on the 1394ohci folder it brings up a list of settings. For "Start," "REG_DWORD," the 'Data' value is probably going to be 0x00000003. That means 'start on demand'. I changed this to 2, which means 'start at startup'. To
modify value, right click on start, select modify, and type in 2. Here's a link to descriptions of this stuff: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc722564.aspx
That's it. Close the editor, restart, and the IEEE 1394 Bust Host controller\1394 OHCI Compliant Host Controller should show up in device manager. And when you plug-in your device, it should be detected. Depending on what driver you're using for the bus
host controller, you might see an extra entry popup in device manager (if you're using the 'legacy' driver). Otherwise nothing else pops up when you plug in your device. I guess it might depend on the device though. That's the way it is for me with an older
Acom external hard drive...
Hope this helps...
