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

Try installing the Google USB driver instead of Asus.

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).

  • that was on of the first things I did, also put usb debugging on. – Ant Sep 04 '14 at 22:52
  • @Ant Ah, try replacing the drivers with the ones provided by Google using Device Manager. They should be located in your Android SDK folder at extras\google\usb_driver, if they're not then open the SDK Manager and install USB Driver. – FaultException Sep 04 '14 at 22:58
  • It is telling me in the sdk manager that the google usb drivers are installed already – Ant Sep 04 '14 at 23:10
  • Okay that means you have them downloaded, but it's not using them for your device. I edited my answer, look at the second link on how to upgrade the drivers to the Google one. Skip the top part of that guide about OEM drivers and go directly to the Windows 7 subheading. – FaultException Sep 04 '14 at 23:17

This can be due to the fact that you do not have USB debugging on for your devices. To do that, you need to activate the developer options from your settings menu. Go go settings --> about phone --> click build number 7 times until the developer options are enabled. Then, enter the developer options and enable USB debugging.

If that still doesn't work, you may need to download the driver for your Nexus. This can be found on the android developer website.
