Hey Doug, What problems did you run into using the Mac IDE for the ADK2? I just finished installing the ADK IDE and managed to upload the clock sketch. I'm using a Mac Air with OS X v10.6.8.
Couple of things I found that were a little tricky: 1. For some reason, my Mac's Java installation got hosed recently and I had to update to Java 1.6.0_33. After the update my Arduino IDEs (along with the ADK 2012 IDE) started working again. Prior to that update, I couldn't even get the IDE to run, error: "No compatible version of Java 1.5*" 2. Make sure to you plug into the "Computer" micro USB port (not the "Phone" port) 3. Choose the correct serial port in the IDE, *Tools > Serial Port* (my Mac Air gave me 6 options) the correct port was "/dev/tty.usbserial-XXXXXXX" 4. Choose the board *Tools > Board > Google ADK2*, otherwise the sketch won't even compile.
