I hit start and then launch, it does the quick pop up with the loading blue bar, but then the android emulator window never pops up. I started this course on a pc and it worked fine, but starting over on a macbook now and am getting stuck here.

Here is reference to what I am trying to point at (https://teamtreehouse.com/library/build-a-simple-android-app/getting-started-with-android/android-setup-and-the-crystal-ball-project-2) at the 12:40 mark.

30,164 Pointshey perez did you happen to get stuck before or after creating an AVD with the aid of the instructor's video lesson

30,164 Pointsso the same device name or options were available to you such as Device, Target and CPU?
alberto perez
1,274 Pointsyeah everything's the same as in the video, did you unzip the package and then run the initial setup script?, after that you're not suppose to move the unzipped folder, if so you have to run the setup script again....I'm not sure if that's the problem, but that's only thing I can think of this early on into the training.

30,164 Pointsthere was no initial.setup script available for me, as there was in the video, but i did move the unzipped folder someplace else so I will try reinstalling
