..Sorry for the misunderstanding on my part. If the cable is in place, I assume you can see the nook as a portable device on usb, or whatever the mac term. That is you can look at the NON Operating System on your nook's memory card using your mac. This would include "sideloading" books from the mac to to the nook.
..If you can't get that far, I think you need to post your question with emphasis on the fact that you're using a mac. I like mac's, use to use them, but work has led me to the "dark side". There are mac people here who could help you.
..If you can "see" the nook from your mac, the solution should be easier. First of all, forget about connect IPAddress:5555. That is the way to connect through WIFI.
..Now we're back to my mac ignorance. In a terminal window you should be able to type adb help and have your mac spit out a listing of the adb commands.
..If adb is alive on your mac, you should be able to type adb device and have your mac screen spit back some string identifying your nook. If it says no device, you apparently don't have the correct "mac equivalent driver". That's a little piece of software for a mac that would be called a driver on mswin. There are people here or on nookdev that could tell you where to find that little piece. I'm not one of them.
..Another way to do the test is to type adb shell ls. That should display a list of the folders in the OS of your nook.
.
..I think that's all I can offer, but FOR SURE,
macbook

latform-tools Simone$ ./adb connect 192.168.1.103
won't work.
Try "macbook

latform-tools Simone$ ./adb
That should return a list of adb commands. If so then
Try "macbook

latform-tools Simone$ ./adb shell.
..That should return a #
If it does, you are there. That is you have accessed the OS Folder of your nook. Now you can do, for example a "rm filename" to delete a file. An "install filename folder" will install an apk. adb help tell all about this.
