Mac can't find the jre but windows could. solutions?

Answer 1

Try installing the Google USB driver instead of Asus.

• Here's the guide to downloading the driver: http://developer.android.com/sdk/win-usb.html
• Here's the guide on installing it: http://developer.android.com/tools/extras/oem-usb.html#InstallingDriver

Note that the Google USB driver page says:

The Google USB Driver is required for Windows only in order to perform adb debugging with any of the Google Nexus devices. The one exception is the Galaxy Nexus: the driver for Galaxy Nexus is distributed by Samsung (listed as model SCH-I515).
