I have a problem that I don't know if I can do anything about. My computers are all linux or mac OS.
I was looking on the samsung site for Kies software for mac and I can't find anything, is there a software version for mac or something similar out there?

There is nothing. Kies is not particularly useful with the tab anyway other than potentially for updating firmware, for that you'll unfortunately need to find a Windows machine to run the app on. All of the other Tab-related functionality of Kies can be duplicated using apps from the android market.

you can do a bootcamp on your mac or virtualization. maybe you have a friend that has a pc that runs windows?
Use heimdall for flashing... reverse-engineered and comes with source code. Works great on linux

Android SDK and Eclipse. That's about what you need.
You would probably need java knowledge too...
If you know any other programming language it should be really easy.
Try the guide here:
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/eclipse-adt.html
I'm lost with the installation part. (have some background with other prog lang. but none with java) can anyone help me with this part? what is the needed apps and/or how to start this apps?
What part are you having trouble with? What OS are you running? I never could get windows7 to work right with java and eclipse.
Oh. Maybe thats why. Coz. Im using win7

Anyway, I set up a linux virtual machine using VMWare's VMPlayer--a scaled down free version of VM's Workstation. This runs pretty well under Win7 on my laptop. I still use my main linux box for development when available.
I recommend you use Linux 9.10
And download Android SDK android for Linux.

I used the update.zip method and need to get back to stock for the update on Monday. I do not have access to a Windows box and the secondary bootloader bug is keeping me from using Heimdall.
Do I have any other option here?
Thanks all,
Boutwell
ummmm.... sell your mac and buy three decent PCs? Just kiddin... Im pretty sure theres mac instructions somewhere in Dev... if you do a search for mac or OSX, you will probly find it, or other mac users who have a method.
Edit: sorry, Heimdall=Odin??? Dont all mac users have windoze emulators??? or do they not work...? You have a nandroid backup??

Heimdall hates mac. . Emulate windows or borrow a pc.

It's in the wiki in the Dev section... I'll get ya the link.
Nevermind the Mac haters here. Lol.
Enjoy! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=808103
side note: this is also why I have my Mac dual-booted with win7 64... always have the tool to get the job done! Mac or Win it doesn't matter.
I'm a linux user and heimdall works great for me. Its best if you compile it for your machine from source. The creator of heimdall has great how to guides in the source for all operating systems for people new to compiling.

I can't ever get heimdall to work on my mac it always gives me an error of can't launch contact the developer or something like that

Sorry it's a problem with the way the application is packaged on OS X. It will work if you download and install the Qt libraries. However if you don't want to install anything else then ficeto came up with a temporary fix.

Yes, bootcamp.
Just wanted to say thanks for all the replies. I ended up using a Windows box at work with the Samsung program they released and it went straight to the new version with no problems at all.
Wish they had released a Mac version of that app rather than the version-clocked update.zip they put out!
Greeting,
Just got a new A500 device, very like it, Want to do some program coding, But do not have any experiences on this,
is that possible I can use this device directly coding? if yes, can someone provide step by step guide to do it?
Thanks

No. You still need Windows/Linux/Mac with the SDK installed.

Unfortunately there is a bug with the windows sdk that makes developing on some phones a pain in the a##, because it fails to connect to the phone so you can't deploy your app to test it (could be ok with the a500 - I haven't tried in windows). I would suggest you install linux on a vm and use that instead. There is no need for drivers with linux and everything works flawlessly. I'm not trying to "convert" you into using linux or anything - the bug is Google's fault (not MS) and they are aware of it but don't seem to care. I installed a linux vm just for developement and use windows for everything else that can't be done on the iconia.

I went to this link and I don't think that anything of it is for Intel-based PC's. Any way to install it on our PCs? :S
You can install it to your PC but if you are not careful with harddisks, you can loose all your data there...
Best option is : Remove your HDD's and try it on a Flash disk or SD card...

Try reading that site a bit more maybe?
Clicking the link to get there doesnt count.
Try it on a virtual pc such as virtualbox, don't mess your hdd.
I couldn't get to run ICS versions on my x64 / x86 PC at home. But 2.3.3 and 3.x versions of android are working well with VMWare 8.x without any issue.
