I tried to connect my Nexus S (Android version 2.3.5) to my macbook pro 10.7 (OSX Lion). However, the notification on android phone was just ON and OFF alternative. I tried this command on my terminal. 

adb usb 
>>error: device not found
adb devices 
>>List of devices attached 
>>[ nothing here ]

Please help me with this issue. Thank you!
