  • Starting with iOS 13, iPadOS 13, tvOS 13, and macOS Catalina, Apple devices and computers support pairing with and using Xbox and PlayStation wireless game controllers.
  • If you need to update the firmware on your controller, check with your game controller manufacturer.
  • Check that you’re in range of your device and there isn’t interference in the area.

  1. Begin with your controller turned off. Then to put your controller in pairing mode:
    • With an Xbox Wireless Controller, press the Xbox button to turn on the controller. Then press and hold the Connect button for a few seconds.
    • With a DUALSHOCK®4 Wireless Controller, press and hold the PS and Share buttons at the same time until the light bar begins to flash.
  2. On your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad, tap Settings.
  3. Select Bluetooth and check that it's turned on.
    • To pair, find the name of your controller under Other Devices. Tap the name to connect.
    • To unpair, tap Information next to the name of the device, then tap Forget This Device.

If your controller won't connect or doesn't work as expected

  • Unpair it, then pair it again. If you still can't pair or connect, get help pairing your Bluetooth accessory to your iOS device.
  • If your DUALSHOCK®4 Wireless Controller pairs but then you see a Connection Unsuccessful notification, press the PS button in the middle of the controller and wait for it to connect.
  • Make sure that you're not trying to connect too many Bluetooth accessories at once. Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD support up to two controllers at once, and other Bluetooth limits vary by device.
  • Some controller functions aren't supported when paired with an Apple device, including the controller's audio jack. Contact Apple Support for more details.

History of macintosh. I have no idea why they don't have a countdown timer — it's part of the psychology of how Kickstarter has done so well.By the way, for anyone reading this thread who hasn't pledged, I got Steve Tze's art print confirmed. Or is it up to the creators to decide when a project isn't going to get the necessary funding?The campaign runs for three months (it started on April 26) or until Unbound and I mutually agree to cancel it.

Your post somehow found its way to a low-traffic forum about technical issues with posting in Apple Support Communities. If you tell us what Mac product you have, we can ask the Hosts to move you to a more active and appropriate forum for your product.


I like flight sims and have an older X-Plane version on a geriatric Mac in the spare room. I can tell you that there are very few flight simmers around here..you will probably get a more detailed and faster response in the x-plane.org forums or the X-Plane forums at AVSIM:
