Issues connecting my PS3 controller to my Macbook pro
Hi all,
I've been trying to conntect my Playstation 3 controller to my macbook pro (15" early 2011 i7 8gb RAM blah blah blah) via bluetooth.
This issue is the actual pairing of the device. My mac will see the controller and attempts to connect but requires a pairing passcode to allow the two to connect to each other. I have found older forum discussions that go through a simple pairing process on older versions of OSX 10.5 and 6 that require no passcode pairing process at all, they simply connect. This is not the case in 10.7
Reading through the forums highlinghts to me that my Macbook has a newer Bluetooth 4.0 chip inside and that this might be part of the issue. The other problem is knowing which keys entered on the Mac are the same as the ones on the playstation controller, i.e. 1 = X or 2 = (triangle) which are pressed in order to complete the pairing process.
I am at a loss as to what to do to solve this and some help will be much appreciated.
