Hello to all, i have been following Mark Fleming's tutorial (Video is here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZnNME84Eec )on how to install Eclipse with the SDK bundle and everything goes fine until around the 7:30 part. Once i try to open the SDK Manager it acts as it's going to load up but it doesn't and nothing shows up at all. I am running 10.9.1, am i doing something wrong? There is no way for me to get the Google API's that i need to start running my projects smoothly, is there anything i can to solve this issue?

Howdy! Welcome to Buzztouch! About how long have you waited for the SDK Manager to start up? Sometimes it take a little while...I've had to wait a couple minutes on my Macbook Pro. If it just doesn't seem to want to come up, try rebooting your Mac and see if that helps. You're using the Eclipse ADT Bundle, correct? Mark

Yes i am Mark, i have been having this problem for a few weeks now... No matter how long i wait it never comes up.

Android can be a total pain! Here are my thoughts: * Try starting the SDK Manager directly from it's file instead of through Eclipse. Go to wherever you unzipped the ADT Bundle to, find sdk > tools, and double-click 'android' to launch the SDK Manager. It might still take a bit to launch, so be patient. * It's possible something is corrupted with your ADT Bundle install. You could delete everything, download the latest software version, and try again. It's just a matter of unzipping the bundle, but files can get corrupt for various reasons. Hope this helps! Let us know if you make progress. Mark

Thanks for all your help Mark, this is what happened when i followed the directions you just gave me...

Will delete it all and start over if i have to but i will wait to see what suggestions anyone may have, thanks again for all your help.

Unfortunately I'm out of suggestions. I also did some Googling, and there's no obvious answer to the problem. If it were me, I'd reinstall everything and start fresh. One last thing you could try...go into Eclipse, then go to Help > Check For Updates and see if anything updates. If not, then I'd go for the reinstall. Since everything comes as a zip file, it shouldn't take too much time. Mark

Okay thanks again, will do so and update everybody if i do find an answer to this. Thanks again Mark, i do appreciate it. :)

Okay i did it! I had to reinstall it, had the same problem... I found out that it was not installing the SDK folder in it's proper place so i had to go to the "window" tab and this screen would pop up (this window only pops up when it does not read the correct file cause i can't seem to get back to it now.) it had some other file, actually, it look like it had this file... "CapitalJ$ /Applications/Arturia\ minimoog\ V/Applications/adt-bundle-mac-x86_64-20131030/sdk/tools/android ; exit;" So that's when i replaced that file with the SDK folder and after i did that the SDK Manager comes up with no problems so thanks Mark... Couldn't of did it without your help.
