Need help with new iMac and ps3 game controller

Hi everyone,

I just got my first iMac and decided to get a PS3 game controller to use with emulators, I chose the PS3 controller because there were so many positive stories online.

So what's my problem? It doesn't work, not via usb and not via bluetooth.

If I connect via usb the lights start blinking and I get this message in console:
11/5/11 9:22:59.000 AM kernel: 0 0 AppleUSBCDC: start - initDevice failed

I'm new to Mac OS, but that doesn't seem good to me.

If I then try to connect via bluetooth, it's seen as a keyboard and I'm asked to enter a passcode on the controller, which is of course impossible.

Hope someone can help me to get this to work, since I am clueless myself.

My Mac OS version is: 10.7.2
My Imac is the 2011 27" core i5

If more info is needed please let me know what you need and where I can get it.

Thanks,
activ
