I am trying to get my Xbox 360 controller to work on my Mac.

I am trying to get my Xbox 360 controller to work on my Mac. I have installed the suggested driver and the program ControllerMate. The Mac sees the controller because it shows up and responds. The program ControllerMate also sees the controller and responds appropriately, but the game (Minecraft) doesn't. HAs anyone else cracked this nut or have advice?

Try using the resetting SMC procedure

You may have done something similar already, but do it precisely as described. You should disconnect ALL peripheral devices, except for Apple keyboard and mouse.
Also, when you plug it back in, if the iMac is currently plugged into an old (or overcrowded) power strip (surge suppressor), try connecting it directly to a wall outlet by itself.

[solved] Getting xbox 360 controller to work in Skyrim with xboxdrv

I am trying to get my xbox 360 controller to work in Skyrim. I installed xboxdrv from AUR and I can get it running with no problems. I have xinput installed in the prefix via winetricks. I've blacklisted xpad kernel module and have xboxdrv running as a systemd service. Xbox controller support is turned on in the game's options.
The issue I'm having is that the controller will still only operate with certain games, which are the games that can use it with the regular xpad kernel module.
Here's some details about the set-up:
√ systemd service:
[Unit]
Description = xboxdrv
[Service]
User = root
Type = simple
ExecStart = /usr/bin/xboxdrv -D -c /etc/conf.d/xboxdrv
[Install]
WantedBy = multi-user.target
√ xboxdrv config:
[xboxdrv]
silent = true
mimic-xpad = true
#force-feedback = true
chatpad = true
led = 2
[xboxdrv-daemon]
detach = true
dbus = disabled
√ xinput winetrick is installed:
Anyone see anything wrong with my setup?

Xbox 360 controller not working

I plug in the controller, lights up for a sec, then nothing. I've read MANY similar problems, but they are all from a couple years back and none of those solutions work now. I am using an official Xbox 360 wired controller to play Boarderlands 2, which I bought from the Mac App store and claims to support that controller. Please help. Thanks.

Yup it does, under USB Hub:
Controller:
Version:          1.10
Bus Power (mA):          500
Speed:          Up to 12 Mb/sec
Manufacturer:          ©Microsoft Corporation
Product ID:          0x028e
Serial Number:          07C0299
Vendor ID:          0x045e

XBox 360 Controller for Windows

Hi all,
I'm trying to get my xbox 360 controller to sync on XP under Bootcamp. If I plug in the receiver under OS X and sync the controller it syncs straight away, if I try and do the same under windows it just blinks at me. I've tried using a powered hub but that made no diffrerence. It's odd how it works on OS X but not under windows, as it's the same hardware, which makes me think it's likely a driver issue?
Any ideas?

Thanks, but it's not as simple as not syncing the controller properly. I've done some more testing.
The front-most USB port does not work at all, well it supplies voltage, but no functionality. It doesn't even accept the apple mouse. So this may be related. BTW the Macbook is at most 2 weeks old, so I'll have this sorted at the genius bar.
I CAN get the xbox controller to sync if I attach a powered USB hub to ONLY the middle USB socket, which is weird. I think with the flaky bottom port and this weird behaviour with the xbox controller, it's looking like I should just have the apple techs go over the USB ports before I pull out any more hair trying to figure out why it's happening!

Go to the Settings tab and click Calibrate

How do I use the Xbox 360 controller

Hello,
As everyone knows the XBOX 360 controller is the definitive controller for Windows gaming.
I'm working on two projects now. One in Flash and one in Unreal Engine. I thought,"Wouldn't it be great to work on three projects at once."
So the idea came to me that a comedic style hockey game could be made in Flash. Flash is great for action games, and the P2P networking(thought could have been done better) is just sufficient to make a good multiplayer experience.
I do not however want an action oriented hockey game without analog sticks. I've gotten the XBOX 360 controller to work in C/C++ in a Tekken Style Open Wolrd Game, and it was great. Where do I get the XBOX360 code to integrate them into a flash game?
,Jim

The GameInput API's for Actionscript 3.0. You can get when you download and install the Adobe Gaming SDK, after that you would need to import the SWC.

Using the xbox 360 controller in my java application

Wanted to know if there is a way to get the xbox 360 controller or the nintendo wii to work with my java application. Has anyone been able to access either controller using java.
Thanks
GradStudent

nope. you can use jinput to use game controllers... but only game controllers
that can be plugged in and have a driver.
i dont have any game systems, do the controllers have a usb attachment and computer drivers?

Using a Xbox 360 controller with Qosmio G30

Hi,
I'm trying to use the xbox 360 controller with pro evo soccer 2010 on my laptop.
At first it was flashing, but then it stopped.
The drivers and everything have installed correctly, is there any other way???
In device manager, there are no exclamation marks, it seems fine.
But the game wont play, unless I use the keyboard.

Hello
Maybe the controller is faulty.
Have you tested it on your Xbox 360 and does it work?
Can you also test another controller?

Help getting my xbox 360 to see my shared external drive

I have an Xbox 360 that is hard wired to my Airport Extreme. I also have an external hard drive hard wired sharing on my network. I am trying to get the Xbox to see the shared drive so that I can view my content.
I searched all over the internet trying to find someone else that has done this, and the only thing that I came up with are these instructions (http://download.iomega.com/resources/hmnhd-wp-media.pdf) on how to get an IOMEGA HOME MEDIA NETWORK HARD DRIVE to connect, therefore I think that it is possible I just can't for the life of me figure out how to do it.
Side note, my external is formatted to FAT32 and if I plug it in to the Xbox directly I can view content, so I know that the conflict is not there.
Thanks for your help,
-Bryan

I figured it out. I guess I should have tried a couple more things before posting this. LOL
I narrowed it down to the 360. Everything looked fine on the Airport Express, but then the 360 had been working fine on my old router. So that's why I thought it couldn't be the 360.
I tried running the 360 wired through the Airport, and it still wouldn't connect. Then I tried connecting it straight to the modem, still wouldn't connect. So it had to be something on the 360. I restored the factory default network settings....and bam, connected wirelessly right away. It's so odd...nothing changed except for the router (when I got the Airport). So there was no reason to suspect the 360. Hope this may help if anyone else runs into this issue.

Hi been trying to connect my xbox 360 online and i am having major problems my router is a WRT54GS v.6 i have the newest firmware also i also use a linksys wireless adapter for my pc i am connecting my 360 to my pc and doing internet connection sharing i can get a ip address this way but not a dns if i have ics off i do not get a ip address i have tried everything opening ports on my router for the 360 and still nothen i am about to break my router and get a differnt one. me need helps.

Yes, you have the ports connected backwards.
The WAN port is labelled with the "circle of dots" icon, and must be connected to your DSL modem.
The LAN port is labelled with the "double-headed arrow" icon, and that is where you connect ethernet cabled devices on your LAN.
See Apple's article AirPort Base Station: About the WAN and LAN Ports
What is surprising is that you haven't previously run into all sorts of problems with your existing setup. Once you cable things properly, you will likely have to power down your DSL modem and Base Station for a while (sometimes just an instant, sometimes overnight). After waiting, plug the modem into power and wait a minute. Then plug the base station into power and wait for it to restart.

Trying to connect an XBOX 360 to my airport base station via ethernet cabl

Hello,
I have the older snow airport base station and was trying to connect my xbox 360 to it via an ethernet port. There are only 2 ethernet ports on the snow base station. one is being used by the cable coming from my dsl modem. the other free port i tried plugging into my xbox 360 to no avail. the xbox cant get an ip address. the open ethernet port on the base station is labeled with the circle logo. the one being used by my dsl modem has the two outer pointing arrows. I turned off the airport to my macbook and tried to connect my macbook to that port my xbox was in and it would not connect to the net either. Is it possible, i have the ports backwards. my wireless internet for all 3 mac computers works fine. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!
Thanks!!!
Vinny

Trouble Connecting a Wireless Xbox 360 Controller to Windows 8.1 via the Play & Charge Kit

I've been trying to connect a standard black wireless Xbox 360 controller to my PC, a Dell Inspiron 17R Special Edition (what makes it special is a mystery to me, but that's the name) with the standard Play & Charge Kit.
I downloaded the drivers from Microsoft's website <http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/en-us/d/xbox-360-wireless-controller-for-windows>. Since there was no version for Windows 8.1, I downloaded the version for windows 7 (64-bit) and ran the installer
in compatibility mode. The installer ran just fine, and I was able to run joy.cpl with no trouble. The trouble was, my controller doesn't show up in the list of game controllers, which is blank.
Under Devices and Printers, an item named "Xbox 360 Wireless Controller via Play and Charge Kit" appears in the "Unspecified" category. When I look at the properties of this device, there are only two tabs, "General" and "Hardware".
Under the "Hardware" tab, there is a device also named"Xbox 360 Wireless Controller via Play and Charge Kit" whose properties have all the proper drivers and suchlike.
Help!

Uninstall all the driver.
Download and install the latest driver,or,you may try the same to get via Windows Update.
