I’ve been a Mac guy a long time, but I’m not going to wax poetic about my first Mac, the joy I’ve gotten from Apple products, or how the Mac first made my career at Aldus/Adobe possible, then later transformed my career with iOS.

Apple and Steve Jobs struck gold with so many of their recent blockbuster creations like the iPod, iPhone, iPad, and MacBook Air.

But it wasn’t always so.

Sure, Apple has made plenty of flop products, and has come around to success, but to me that’s not the Jobs legacy.

What I admire most about Jobs is that for a long time he languished, and was easily dismissed by many.

His return to Apple was nostalgic, but by no means a slam dunk for the success of Apple.

It was after all of this that his best creations came to life.

The fact that he wasn’t born a genius, that he had to tread through the mediocre products and personal failures before he arrived, gives me hope.

If you think about it, this is obvious. Everyone including geniuses has to work and fail and work and fail again before their genius is realized.

But it’s easy to find yourself in the midst of mundane work, in the midst of failure and start doubting, start slowing down. During those times is when Steve Jobs’legacy is a welcome shot in the arm, propelling me forward.

Even if most of us are no geniuses, and none of us are Steve Jobs, I still like the idea that our best work is still ahead of us.

System Requirements: You need an Intel based machine running 10.5.8 or later

1. Download Eclipse
   Download the latest version of Eclipse Classic from http://eclipse.org/downloads. If you use Eclipse for other things, there are other supported versions.
2. Install Eclipse
   Move the Eclipse file you downloaded to /Android  (or elsewhere that is convenient for you) and expand it.
   
3. Download/Install SDK
   Download the Android SDK from the Android SDK page, move it to /Android and expand it.
   
4. Update your PATH environment variable to know about the Android tools
   There are different ways of setting your default PATH variable. I use ~/.bash_login but ~/.bash_profile also works. The Android tools are in the tools directory of the Android SDK. So this is what I added to .bash_login:
   export PATH=$PATH:/Android/android-sdk-mac_x86/tools
5. Install the Android Development Tools (ADT) Eclipse plugin
   a. Launch Eclipse and select Help -> Install New Software
   b. In the Install/Available Software dialog that appears click Add… in the top right hand corner
   c. In the Add Repository dialog that appears enter:
   Name: Android Plugin
   Location: https://dl-ssl.google.com/android/eclipse/
   d. After you hit OK, you’ll see Developer Tools appear, check it and click Next >
   
   e. Click Next > again and then agree to the terms of the license agreement and click Finish
   f. You’ll be warned that some of the software contains unsigned content. Click OK
   g. You’ll be prompted to restart Eclipse. Click Restart Now
   h. After Eclipse restarts, go into Eclipse -> Preferences (⌘,)
   i. Select Android in the left column, click Browse… and navigate to the SDK location on your drive: /Android/android-sdk-mac_x86
   

To get rid of it, you have to delete the ‘optimized’ versions of your photos and force iTunes to re-generate them:
1. Navigate to ~/Pictures/iPhoto Library (~ means your home folder)
2. Right click on iPhoto Library and select Show Package Contents
3. Delete the folder named “iPod Photo Cache”
4. Sync your device again.

iTunes will regenerate the optimized versions of your photos and you will no longer have an error syncing.
