Do you want to play your PS4 on a Mac or PC?

If yes, you are at the right place. In this post, we will discuss not one but three solutions for this common issue.

Solution 1 – Reset the PS4 Controller

Many users have reported that resetting the PS4 controller did the job for them. Since this has worked for multiple users and is easy to complete, let’s start with this one.

Here are the steps to follow.

• Turn off the PlayStation 4
• Using a small, unfolded paper-clip (alternately, you can use something else that looks similar)push the rest button, located on back of the controller adjacent to L2 shoulder button and then hold the button down for 1-2 seconds. Now release it.
• Connect the controller to the PS4 console.
• Now turn on your PS4

Solution 2 – Connect the PS4 controller with data cable

If the before-mentioned step didn’t work for you, try connecting the PS4 controller with a cable. First, use the one that you received with the PS4 console. If that doesn’t do the trick, you can try it out with a different one.

 Solution 3 – Restart the PS4 console
