Does OS X v10.7 Lion support PS3 - Controller Dualshock 3 Wireless (doesn't even recognizes the pad via USB)

I'm trying to connect my PS3 controller with my 2009 Mac Mini with OS X v10.7. When I connect it via USB the Mini doesn't show the pad at all. When I plug it out and press the PS Button on the pad it shows up in the Bluetooth menu and the Mac wants me to enter  a code which of course is impossible with a pad. What can I do?
I hope someone had similar problems solved  and can help me. Thank you.

    By calling iPod tech support while you are under warranty.  You also have 14 days to return it w/no questions asked for a replacement or your $$$ back.

    Hi all,
    I have had an 8100 for some time.  Recently the desktop will communicate to the 8100 via bluetooth but Windows does not recognize the 8100 when I plug it in via USB.  I have tried downloading and reinstall the desktop with no luck.

    Here is the list of troubleshooting KB's...hopefully something will be useful:

    Also, check that you are using only root USB ports...no hubs (sometimes the front-side ports are hubs...use a rear USB port). And make sure to try disabling USB power management in your system configuration (Device Manager).
    Apologies in advance if this is redundant -- there's no way to be sure if you've already seen and tried these.
    Hopefully something there is helpful!

    Hello,
    Perfectly fine working iPad and I attempted to load the software update provided for settings. Now all I get is an on again off again apple. Attempted hard reset to no avail. iTunes no longer recognizes the device. So......? what? how? where?
    Thanks, Richard

    And one more point, I am not an Apple user. This is my first experience and have had to learn as I go. So any explanations please break it down for a noob. I am fairly computer geeky but when it comes to Mac or Apple or iAnything... I have zero experience.

  • Hi, I have a late October 2008 Macbook Pro Unibody which I wanted to use my Magma Expressbox card with. I had a Silver Macbook Pro before which this worked fine with but for some reason my newer Macbook Pro does not even recognize the Expresscard slot?

    Highly anooying as I can't even use the Express Card slot at all, due to the fact the Macbook doesn't even recognize it exists. Has anyone else had this problem. If so, how was it fixed? I only upgraded my Macbook Pro due to the fact Ineeded a better performance but I still need my Expressbox1 to work with my UAD DSP card. If not the buying the new MAcbook was a total waste of money if the Express Card does not even fundtion on it? Please help!!

    Mavericks is no longer available from the App Store, so your choice is Yosemite. One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install the new OS, and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Do a backup before you do anything. By doing this, if you don’t like it you won't have to go though the revert process.
    Check to make sure your applications are compatible.

  • Hi my airport router ( ateast i think this is where the problem originates) has been turning off intermittenly for the past week, when it does this NO devices recieve internet connection, mac, pc,iphone, ipad, wireless or hardwired directly to the router

    Hi my airport router ( ateast i think this is where the problem originates) has been turning off intermittenly for the past week, when it does this NO devices recieve internet connection, mac, pc,iphone, ipad, wireless or hardwired directly to the router. However they all show to be connected with their corresponding bars and the ip's are all fine. Earlier today it started flucuating on and off about every 5 min making work impossible and now it seems to be completely broken (im currently on my iphone connected though its own internet) Does anyone know how or ehy this happened and how i can fix this? And to know if this originates from the router or something else entirely. Thank you!

    Hi - some clarifications would help narrow down some symptoms - just what has been turning off? - has the light been solid green but the modem isn't providing wi-fi? - or is the light flashing yellow with no internet? - which can mean several things - does the light go out completey? - so if you can report on exactly what is happenening and when, maybe someone can help you - we also need to know if there any error messages along the way -  we also need the types of devices involved and how they are attached - kind of like a nework map  - the more info that you provide, the more answers you will get.

  • Have a MacBook Pro with 10.8.1 and want to print wirelessly with HP 3054 610a, currently connected via USB. Router is Apple Extreme without WPS button. How do I enter the said and passphrase to the printer. Can't use the cd install-no Mtn.Lion support

    Have MacBook Pro, Airport Extreme router, Mtn Lion 10.8.1 and want to print wirelessly with HP 3054 610a which was installed 2 days ago via USB. Prefer to set up the printer on the wifi network, but how do I enter ssid and passphrase. On the printer control panel only has WPS option.

    You didn't look far enough .... http://www.hp.com/global/us/en/wireless/printer-setup-help.html
    The next thing is to look in the manual that accompanied the printer for how to use the wireless setup wizard!
    This is specific to your printer ..... http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c02217452&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en &product=5109847#N728

  • Does Tiger require ownership (and sharing) of wired printers on a wireless LAN? My G4 (Tiger) is also wired to the LAN, and can access all wired printers through the router. Wireless Macs cannot even find the printers.

    Does Tiger require ownership (and sharing) of wired printers on a wireless LAN? My G4 (Tiger) and all printers are wired to the LAN, and the G4 can access all printers through the router. Additional wireless Macs (Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion) cannot even find the printers. Yet, if the G4 shares the printers, then ALL computers on the LAN can access them. However, this requires the G4 to remain powered. Is there a workaround that would allow me to shut down the G4 and still use the printers?

    Hello BDAqua!
    Well, I am halfway there. Following your steps on the Snow Leopard MBP, the newer printer (a Canon MX860 inkjet) appeared automatically under the "default" icon on the ADD printer window. I used the IP icon with the HP Jetdirect-Socket protocol to find and add the older printer, (an HP 4000N). That required running a configuration page from the printer to locate its IP address. I printed to both printers through this laptop with success!
    I then followed exactly the same procedure with the Mountain Lion MBP. For both installation attempts, I got an error message window: Unable to verify the printer on your network. "192.168.111" may not exist or is unavailable at this time. Would you still like to create the printer? If I click Continue, it creates the icon and name in the printer list. However when I attempt to print from an app. the next message says, 'Printer is unavailable.'
    Why one laptop finds and uses both printers, and the newer laptop does not, just floors me!
    Thank you for your ongoing assistance.

  • Windows 7 in bootcamp does not recognize the wifi and usb

    i have just made the bootcamp with Win7. it does not recognize the wireless driver and the high resoltion screen.
    plus every time i have set the right click of trackpad.
    could any one help me in solving this issue?
    is there any way to upgrade the bootcamp driver from 3.0 to 3.3 without passing through 3.1 and 3.2?

    You might wan't to ask in the Boot Camp forum where the Boot Camp gurus hang out.

    It sounds like you have not yet completed the Windows installation process by installing the Windows drivers.

  • My MacBook Pro does not pass the startup grey screen. When I try to do a reinstall the computer doesn't even read the disk. I can't even boot in safe mode. I'm being told that it MAY be a motherboard issue, I'm just wondering has anyone else had this prob

    I don't know what is wrong with my Mac. An authorized retailer can't pinpoint the issue.. Does Apple have a recall for motherboard failures? We have only had it for 2 years.

    MimiBrooks,
    try booting your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Does it get past the grey startup screen now?

    OS X Mountain Lion public share works fine for Mac's but as a guest from Windows its adamant it wants a password. If I use proper credentials it will allow me in the public share from the windows PC but I dont want to add creditinatials it should be an open folder to Network (LAN) WORKGROUP users.
    OS X Guest account is set to "allow guests to connect to shared folders"
    The Public folder is set in "Sharing" as READ ONLY everyone.
    Mac's can access the share without needing credentials.

  • Does anyone know how to connect to wireless internet using a Hitron CVE-30360 cable modem. My Macbook doesn't even see the network?

    I just received my cable modem from Hitron and I am unable to connect to it. My phone and other computers and see it as a wireless network but my Macbook doesn't even show it a network that I can connect to. It is totally invisible to my Macbook. Can anyone help with this?

    Assuming "BellSouth" uses the same procedure as "SBCGlobal", which are now both ATT/Yahoo, as far as I know:
    Take router from box. Connect to power outlet and phone outlet.
    Take Ethernet cable, plug one end into the router's jack marked LAN, plug other end into your computer's Ethernet jack.
    Point your Web browser to 192.168.1.1 (enter this into your browser's address bar, actual address might vary, check your router's documentation.)
    A Web form will appear. Set router to PPPoE, if necessary. Enter the user name your ISP gave you. Enter the password.
    Watch all the lights on your router go green.
    Or, if the router is already set up, since you used it with your Dell laptop previously:
    Take Ethernet cable, plug one end into the router's jack marked LAN, plug other end into your computer's Ethernet jack. Done.
    The second from the left is your Ethernet jack:

  • Lion does not recognizes the superdrive as external drive

    Hello,
    After having replaced my superdrive for a SSD in my macbook, I look for a solution to retrieve the original superdrive in Lion.
    the superdrive is now contained in a slim box firstcom. Each time i plug the drive via USB, it starts normally but i have no software able to detect it (even VLC)
    I already did this method but with no success : http://macenstein.com/default/2011/07/how-to-get-your-external-super-drive-worki ng-in-lion/
    That would be great if somebody can give me some help to solve it.
    Thank you for your responses.

    I do not think, that replacing the superdrive by another drive is a hack. It probably does not influence the warranty. Changing the HDD by a another HDD or SSD does void your warranty, I think.
    Can you not even "mount" the external superdrive with Disk Utility?
    But I have another question for you: do you use the SSD for the OS? If yes: why did you not put it in the place of the HDD and the HDD in the superdrive slot (if both are the 2.5" type)? Because with earlier MBP's the Superdrive Sata connection has a lower speed than the HDD Sata connection, which means that you can have even more speed advantages by putting the SSD in the HDD place and place the slower HDD in the Superdrive location.
    But, like ds said, on Bmer's forum you will certainly find the answers on your issue.
