A OS X won't create a .bash_profile for you. When you want to run functions from your command line, this is a must-have.

1. Start up Terminal
2. Type "cd ~/" to go to your home folder.
3. Type "touch .bash_profile" to create your new file.
4. Edit .bash_profile with your favorite editor (or you can just type "open -e .bash_profile" to open it in TextEdit.
5. Save and quit.

Android Setup in OS X

Add these line to .bash profile.

export PATH=${PATH}:{Path to SDK }/tools

Note: "Computer 1" represents your usual computer, "Computer 2" represents the new computer you would like to sync your iPhone to.

On "Computer 2", backup "iTunes Music Library.xml" and "iTunes Music Library" (Tunes Music Library on Windows) safely.

In this example it is "8B6C633F7DACB74B".

How to change SMS/Email tones?

In order to change your SMS tones you will need:

1) a jailbroken iPhone
2) files converted to .aif then renamed to .caf
3) Rename your files to....

sms-received1.caf = Tri-tone
sms-received2.caf = Chime
sms-received3.caf = Glass
sms-received4.caf = Horn
sms-received5.caf = Bell
sms-received6.caf = Electronic

They are found in /System/Library/Audio/UISounds

-First, you find the audio file that you want to be as your new TXT notifier, try to find it as any of the following file formats:

wav, mp3, aiff, m4a

-Then, load it into iTunes. Click on Edit > Preferences > Import Settings > Advanced, and set the conversion encoder to AIFF.

-Go back into your library inside iTunes, locate the file you just added, right click on the sound file you imported, and select "Convert to AIFF".

-Let it convert.

-Once it's done, right-click the file, and go to info. Follow the path to that file, and then simply rename it to *.caf.

-Open up iPhone Browser.
-Click on Goto Location > UISounds on the top bar.
-Locate the files named "sms-received1.caf", "sms-received2.caf", "sms-received3.caf", "sms-received4.caf", "sms-received5.caf", "sms-received6.caf". Decide which one you don't like, and delete it.
-Lets use the first one, "sms-received1.caf" as an example. Delete that ba$tard from the original directory.
-RENAME your NEW ringtone to "sms-received1.caf", and drag it into that iPhone Browser directory.
-Go to your iPhone, select "Tri-tone" as your message, and that will be your new SMS/TXT/MMS Ringtone.

Voila, thats all it is. it sounds like a lot of steps, but once you do it once or twice, its really second nature.
