Okay, so This isn't an average issue. Sadly.
I have a macbook, and was planning on getting a PS4 months down the road when I can save up for it. But for now, I'm playing Minecraft on my macbook but hate the controllers. I found out you can connect a PS4 controller to my mac and use it. I thought great, I will have a neat controller to use, get use top the PS4 controller, and have an extra controller when I purchase my PS4.
First bad thing:
The PS4 DS4, doesn't come with a cable. Which if you already own a PS$ isn't a problem, but since I don't it was a little issue.
So I found a cable lying around the house…
Second bad thing:
When I plugged the DS4 into my macbook and hit the PS button, it blinked white three times, and then did nothing. I also did the pairing process for the bluetooth. It blinked rapidly in white, and I was able to successfully connect it to my macbook, but the intist it did, the DS4 shut off (I'm assuming) and my macbook lost connection. I hit the PS button again and it blinks three times in white and nothing else.
It doesn't seem to be charging or doing anything. I tried plugging it into a wall charger. Same issue.
Nothing works! Help!
Do I need to first plug it into a PS4 to say activate the controller, or maybe I have to have a Sony cable?
