Need mac adb help

I am trying to install the new Hero OS, and can gain adb mount, but when the file I want to upload is on my desktop, adb wont see it. I have also tried adding it to the tools folder of the sdk itself, and it still doesnt see it.
Can anyone help me out a bit? I have even tried writing the full path to the file, but i dont think i have that correct either. So far i have tried these:
adb push app_s /system/sd/app_s
"cannot stat "app_s": No such file or directory"
I also have tried various forms of this, but still get the above responce.
adb push C:\users\username\app_s /system/sd/app_s
Is this a problem with not see ing the file, or am i maybe trying to push it to a non-existant directory on my sd. I dunno, i have searched on here for anything adb, but when you search, nothing comes up.
I have been listening to the stupid htc jingle for over an hour simply trying to figure out how to push a file, so please help me keep my sanity..

you did install the SDK right?
http://developer.android.com/sdk/1.5_r2/index.html
if so, you need to add it to your path or give the full path to where you installed it every time you execute the command

you're even not very smart, or completely lost.
lolz, i'm j/k
i'm a mac user too, pm me you ichat i'll help you out.

i looked at my PATH,
(/Users/tslate/Desktop/fastboot:Users/tslate/Desktop/SDK/tools:
/Users/tslate/Desktop/SDK/tools:/Users/tslate/Desktop/SDK/tools/adb:
tslate/Desktop/SDK/tools/adb:/tslate/Desktop/SDK/tools/adb:
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin)
and added the folder to the tools folder and the fastboot folder, but this still doesnt work for me. Still getting Cannot stat 'app_s': No such file or directory exists.
Any ideas?

need mac adb help
I dont understand but my thread was moved to general for some reason so here it is again.
I cannot make adb find local files to push to my g1. I can and do have adb mount though. My PATH is:
/Users/tslate/Desktop/fastboot:Users/tslate/Desktop/SDK/tools:/Users/tslate/Desktop/SDK/tools:/Users/tslate/Desktop/SDK/tools/adb:tslate/Desktop/SDK/tools/adb:/tslate/Desktop/SDK/tools/adb:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin
I have tried adding the local file to both the tools folder of the sdk itself, and to the "fastboot" folder mentioned in the PATH, but i get the following error:
cannot stat 'localfile': No such file or directory
Anyone have an idea?

It was moved to general, because it is a general android (poorly worded) question.

Please don't make duplicate threads.

I'm sorry, but I guess I didnt really know there was any other way to ask. I and prob many others here are trying to learn what you guys already seem to know. If I'm going to be called stupid, I would at least like to know the proper procedure is for asking.

I didn't see anyone call you stupid, except one person who said "you're even not very smart, or completely lost." but was just kidding.

Ok, so not stupid, but unable to write a question correctly. So what's the correct way for me to ask this? Im not trying to be a smartass, but when things like this happen, and people don't understand what they did to receive such treatment, it reflects poorly on the xda dev community, and makes it hard to appease the powers that be and get my question answered. So how can i reword the aforementioned poorly written question differently?

For that I point you to some threads, which are all stickied by the way.

I actually did do a search through both those adb threads, as well as a search through the general developer forum, which returns 0 results for the term "adb". My question isnt answered in either of those threads which are mostly windows based from what i have seen.
Since no one can really give me an answer on how to make the question better or more to the point so I dont get locked/moved/etc. I'm going to assume there isnt one.
Thanks to those that actually tried to help.

Thread locked. Don't create another one until you learn to read.

Using more than one sdcard with ap2sd?

I need to change between some sdcards, because I have a lot of videos and games that does not fit in only one sd...
But I have ap2sd, and I figure I need to clone ext partition to the others sd cards (phone hangs if I insert other sdcard) ...
So, that is the question... ¿How can I clone the ext partition of the working sdcard to the rest???
I tried Partion magic, and parangon, but the problem is that software aks to reboot to do the job, and out of windows the usb sdcard reader driver don´t work, and those applications can´t find it when reboot.
I tried ubuntu, but it said I am not (even I am root) the ownership of the files, and don´t let me copy and paste...
I tried G1 terminal with busybox, to copy /system/sd/ to another folder, but it said (even with SU) it can´t, even I see all apps and delvik folder and so on inside /system/sd/...
Any idea how can I do it??
THANKS

check your pm's

So how do you do it?

it involves commands that could be seen as a way to pirate other peoples work so the mods do not like to see them which i cannot blame them. i cannot recall the thread but i saw one where they edited a post that showed how to do pull apps.

I would like to switch sdcards too. Anyone can help me?

(THEME) Stock Music app not so boring anymore...

Ok so I have been tinkering around for the past few trying to get the Fender Music app on my dream. Well I did it but the app sucks cause it's not FOR my device. And being that I don't know how to make it work right, I decided to go back with the stock app.
Enough rambling, you want the goods...
Backup before doing this cause I take no responsibility.
remove the .zip from the name.
Wouldn't hurt to resign it either...
Put the file in your theme's .zip. In the app folder within the .zip of course.
I don't know how to take screen shots but I will tell you to try it and you will like it. This works on my dream flawlessly. I hope the same for you...
This wasn't really that hard to do. Mostly because I don't know how to modify/make .9's nor these .xml's for that matter. But most of the visuals are what I have modified anyway so I don't see the need...
The one thing I have a problem with is the lack of album art. As soon as I figure that out, things will be nice!
This will be on my theme as soon as I get it out. I have grown to understand how long this takes for you themeer's out there. I thank you all for everything you do. But I would like to thank Binary for helping me understand the basics of things around here!!!
Which brings to my attention, this is based on CM 4.2.13......

screenshot.apk from market...

Thanks much. I was waiting for that actually though.
But that's what I will use when I have everything finished.
Knowing this environment though, I'll never finish...

You can take screenshots even easier with ddms.bat
In revision 4 just go to Device and Screen Capture (or whatever).
Simple.

Ok. Thank you. But I'm still going to wait until I finish my theme before I take screen shots. Until then, you'll just have to dl it to find out what it looks like...

Nice to see you getting so into this. If you want help with .9.pngs, Jairomeo taught me a nice trick that makes it very easy (assuming eclipse is set up).

Eclipse is set up I just don't know how to use it other than to start up a virtual android...

Gonna try it out now. I want to know what it looks like
/edit: here is the signed .apk (Or was it already signed?)
(push to system/app)

ok noob question lol... i downloaded the file but when i try to copy it to system/app folder it says file is read only.. something i missed?

You need to root your device...

yea. what he said.

This is outdated. I haven't had the time to work on it lately and I apologize for that. My theme hasn't seen any love for a few days either.
But it works and looks better than stock.
Here's how I install it.
Put music.apk in root sdcard folder. Use a file manager like Astro or And Explorer to navigate to it. Click it and install with package installer.
Enjoy!

Well id say if your very addicted to xda then you should know there's these things called Sticky's at the top of page very useful info could of answered your own question.
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=603052

When you use the command "adb shell", that is simply dropping you into the shell of the phone. The phone runs Android, which is a version of Linux. Since almost EVERY ROM has "busybox" installed, you are able to run Linux shell commands on the phone, just as if you were on a Linux install on a computer. So just learn basic Linux commands, and you'll be fine

yea bertman in the stickies there is nothing what im asking about but thanks for your help anyway....mrhinehart so instead of running the cmd promt from my pc i can just run busy box or do i run busy box from reboot recovery?......................ohh snap i found it in the stickes thanks bertman that actually exactly what i was looking for just didnt think it would be in something that had to do with rooting....thanks a bunch man

I have the one click root on my computer. I was able to root stock 2.1 but not Froyo. I cant seem to get a normal Update.zip to reinstall to root it. Can anyone help me out with this? Thank you

I sent smokestack a PM to see if he can help me out on how to do it. I just flashed the phone with Froyo following the directions here. I wasnt to sure about what I was doing but I did everything and it all eventually worked out well, with a couple scares lol. Im new to the rooting scene. I mean Im pretty savy when it comes to certain stuff and I was easy to install beta leaks and builds with BlackBerrys for 3 years. Im new to Android since the Captivate came out, so Im slowly trying to learn the tricks of the trade

Seems that adb does not like Win7. Anyone else see issues?

The instructions seemed clear as day to me. Put the phone in debug mode, use adb to push the files, execute a shell script, use sqlite3 to allow side loading, change permissions on the files you pushed, and reboot.

I think what they are looking for is where to put the files that they download. I know in the rooting tread, it was missing. I also think some people do it differently, so it may help just to let them know how you find it easiest to navigate to them, etc.
Personally, I take the files that were downloaded and extract them all. Then make sure you have downloaded the android SDK program and put it on the root of your computers hard drive such as drive C:. Then add those files you downloaded to the "Tools" file within sdk.
To navigate to them with command prompt, it would look like: cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools
Then run the commands as listed in the tread.
Hope this helps.

Perhaps this is not the answer you are looking for, but if you are comfortable flashing roms, flash Cognition 2.2 (its already rooted).
Good luck

I'm running W7 and am having issues with adb. I'm a noob to android but I'm learning. Anyway, I tried your suggestion of adding the files to the tools directory but when I enter "su" the system returns "su: not found". Any help?
