I am trying to connect to a Galaxy Tab 10.1 running Android 3.2
I have seen several similar questions, but they all seemed to be related to having the device setup incorrectly. I have it set to allow "Unknown Sources" and I also have "Usb Debugging" enabled. I am able to use adb on both linux and windows machines so my tablet would seem to be correctly setup and the cable is functioning correctly.
When I plug it in to my macbook pro the tab responds with a ping to show it is aware of the connection, but when I run adb devices no device is listed.
My OSX install is fairly new and I have not installed any type of tethering software.
Any ideas?

Check your USB cable and restart your devices The most common issue that can cause Mac not recognizing Android device is a faulty cable. Make sure to try different ones, even if they did not come with your phone. Another thing that is usually disregarded is to make sure you have restarted your device.
Connect your phone to your computer's USB port via the charging cable. Open Mac Finder. Locate Android File Transfer on your list of drives. Double-click the Android drive icon.
To check if you have successfully installed ADB, connect your device to your PC/Mac with your USB cable, and run the adb devices command as described above. It should display your device listed in the Command Prompt/PowerShell/Terminal window. If you get a different output, we recommend starting over with the steps.
Be default adb is not setup for all device types. Please replace your current ~/.android/adb_usb.ini file with the one below, it will fix the issue. I had to do the same on my mac for the exact same device.
