Why won't Eclipse/adb detect my Samsung Galaxy Tab device on my Mac?

I've connected my Samsung Galaxy Tab device to my Mac. Yes, I've turned on debugging. When I go to run my application to test on the device the device is not listed on the Android Device Chooser menu. Running the ./adb devices shows no results.

NOTE: Posting this question for others to find. When looking for the solution earlier all I was able to locate were answers to broken links to device driver downloads for Windows.

Why is ADB not detecting my device?

It might be that the ADB issue is not with your computer but is with your Android device. In most cases, ADB cannot recognize your device because the USB debugging option is turned off on the device. Turning this option on can fix the issue for you and this is pretty easy to do.
