pairing request from ps3 controller on mac

Theres a bunch of pre-defined settings for both the PS and XB360 controllers. In the menu bar under File, click load examples. Purchase Joystick Mapper, open it, have the controller on. It was a huge chore to find the solution but, heres what I did. I play Borderlands 2 on my 2011 MBP with a PS3 controller. It should auto pair now whenever you press the PS button when BT is on. Once the controller is recognized, click the settings cog and click 'add as favorite' & 'update services'. You may need to open System Prefs and click the settings cog below your listed devices in the Bluetooth pane. When the lights flash, plug it in and press the PS button for 2-3 seconds again. Try pressing the PS button for 2-3 seconds with Bluetooth on and discoverable before you plug into your MB. I have spent several weeks working on this and I have read a ton of stuff on-line and I am getting nowhere. Borderlands 2, etc.Īny guides that will allow this to work and instructions on mapping the buttons etc. I really don't care rather it is bluetooth or connected via usb I just want to be able to use it for a number of FPS games such as COD 2, 4, and BO. In Gamepad companion the pointer arrow moves to the upper-right corner or my screen and stay there, However When I activate a profile in joystick mapper nothing happens. When attached to the usb cable both controllers appear in gamepad companion and joystick mapper. Both of my controllers however apear as keyboards and give me a pre determined codes that I can't enter. I've searched around Google and all of the bluetooth pairing guides say that when it is detected it will ask for an access code and to enter 0000. I have both a generic dual-shock PS3 controller and a genuine Sony Dual shock 3 Six Axis controller and I am unable to get either to connect and work with my Mid 2010 macbook pro. I need some help in configuring and using a PS3 Controller with a Macbook Pro
