Turn on bluetooth on your mac in System Preferences (If it isn’t already).

Updated: with the correct services string, as well as a few extra steps. Or if anyone knows any additional details about how Mavericks Bluetooth works compared to Lion? Or any details whatsoever? So I was hoping that someone could help determine if it's possible to make this work with Mavericks. I'm assuming this means it's requesting the info from the controller again rather than using the data from the plist. When I try to modify the ist in Mavericks to add in the appropriate services, Mavericks just changes the services back to nothing. The controller initially showed up as PLAYSTATION(R)3Conteroller-ghic or PLAYSTATION(R)3Conteroller-VINS in Bluetooth Preferences (I have multiple Chinese controllers). Unfortunately there is a caveat: I have yet to get them to work with Mavericks. $12 is the reason I personally bought the controllers. I think this is pretty fantastic since the controllers are only $12 on Amazon which greatly increases accessibility. I was then able to play OpenEmu games over Bluetooth. #Dualshock 3 pc wont turnon ps3#
