How to use nexus 7 for devlopment with mac os

Question

Im setting eclipse on MacOS 10.8 for android development. My Nexus 7 does not show up in the Android device chooser list. I have an HTC One S and that works fine.

Here are the things i have tried.

• enabled developer mode on the nexus
• installed all Android SDK extras
• tried switching between both MTP and PTP modes on nexus
• Installed Android File transfer App on Mac.

There are several versions of this question on SO, most of the answers pertain to windows machines. Note i'm interested in a MacOS solution

Answer 1

I had the same problem & came across this post. For me ono's comment worked. I needed to use a usb data cable - not a usb charge only cable.

See http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20130418072711AA6kqOP

For me that happened to be a usb I used to transfer books to my Kindle.

Once I connected the correct usb on the upper left corner the Nexus 7 printed

Connecting as a Camera

USB Debugging Connected

I already had USB debugging enabled and in an attempt to fix this problem I had selected Camera (PTP) instead of Media device (MTP) under the Android Settings - Storage - : (Eclipse) - USB computer connection
