You could run a root exploit script that was made for a mac but most of them require adb. I would just do the standard Nabi root method manually.
I'm not a mac guy, just have a virtual machine for working with iStuff so I have never attempted any of it.
I would get ADB and FASTBOOT setup. Maybe this will help:

Get the TWRP recovery.img Read about it here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2074501
You just need the image not windows based installer so
2.3.3.0
Download 2.3.3.0
or 2.5.0.0
Download 2.5.0.0
Then you will want to get a root package(2.5.0.0 has a root package built in if you just want root), and gapps if you want
The original one will still work fine called jmzrootpackage.zip from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1905674
From the TWRP zip package extract the recovery.img to your working directory
From the jmzrootpackage.zip extract the root.zip and gapps.zip to that same working directory
Now go into the Nabi settings and enable ADB
Make sure ADB is in the PATH for your mac which I think that tutorial should do
Open a terminal windows on mac to that working directory
type: adb push root.zip /sdcard/root.zip
type: adb push gapps.zip /sdcard/gapps.zip
type: adb reboot-bootloader
(Nabi reboots)
type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
(tablet reboots)
use vol+ and vol- on Nabi to Navigate to "recovery kernel" and boot up TWRP
At this point it would be wise to do a backup of your tablet before proceeding
Install your root.zip and gapps.zip package
I'm working from the top of my head but that's the idea.

I was very happy when Clockworkmod started officially supporting all versions of the GS3, but I was unsure how to install the Touch recovery version from the clockworkmod website. After doing some digging, I finally found the solution.
To do this you will need three things:
-The Clockworkmod Touch Recovery Image for your device at the clockworkmod website (Make sure you get the right one!).
-ADB platform tools that come with Android SDK Manager
-A Computer
1: Compile all of your platform tools (including ADB) and the recovery image into a folder.
2: Rename the recovery image to recovery.img. Ex: recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.4.9-d2spr.img to recovery.img
3:Within the folder, make sure no files are selected, then hold shift and right click somewhere within the folder and choose "open command window here"
4: Run "adb push recovery.img /sdcard/recovery.img"
5: Then run "adb shell", and after that run "su"
6: Then run "dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery".
7: And after the last command has finished, run "reboot recovery".
Congratulations! You have just installed the Clockworkmod Touch Recovery for free and saved yourself $2.
I have tested this method twice and it has worked both times.

1) Install it via Recovery, should be an install option in TWRP.
2) from your PC connect to your phone via USB - fastboot flash boot c:\location\to\boot.img
Change the path to where ever you have the boot.img saved on your PC.
is the install suppose to say fail

I do install it from recovery TWRP install but after it does some processing it says fail. Does that matter did it do what it needed to do and it is just time to run the flash from the computer then, or is some thing wrong happening?

I think TWRP 2.5.0.0 requires that the installer have newer binaries, you may want to try CWM touch instead for a recovery.
how do I install a different recovery then

Hi, I'm noob so I can not post on the developers questions.
I'm having this problem
6. Wiped /sdcard, can't reboot from recovery: You thought you had the ROM file on the sdcard, but you didn't, and wiped everything, so without a ROM image, you can't boot into system.
Solution: Put the ROM file where your ADB binary is (usually inside platform-tools folder in Android SDK directory) and rename it rom.zip. On the device, boot into TWRP, select Advanced, then ADB Sideload. Connect device to PC. From here, run "adb" and hit Enter to check for your binary version, if it's anything lower than 1.0.3.0, you need to update the binaries by re-installing the latest Android SDK. Once the device is in sideloading mode and is connected to the PC, type "adb sideload rom.zip" and hit Enter. Now you'll find the ROM on the sdcard, flash, and you're done.

Everything works fine, kindle drivers for windows, SKD, ADB, etc, except that when I use the command adb side load rom.zip I get:
cannot use rom.zip
I need to know how to proceed and if I need a fast boot cable to transfer this image to the kindle sdcard.
Thanks in advance for your help.
my device intex cloud m6 1gb ram 8gb rom is not rooting.Please tell how to root
How to root Intex Cloud M6 8gb and 16gb smartphones.
Hello there,
This query was posted a long time ago by you and i am not sure if you have found the solution or not. But as far as i am aware, it is pretty hard to root this device. It runs on a Spreadtrum chipset sc7731. However, recently i figured out how to root this device.
It seems like that the device's default.prop file comes with a configuration :
Code:
ro.secure=1
which makes it impossible to root this device with absolutely any rooting software out there including the one-click apps.
To be able to root this device, the only efficient way is to replace the stock recovery with a custom one, deleting the default su binary file inside the /system/xbin folder as well as in the /system/bin folder, installing the SuperSU.zip file and finally by installing the Kingroot apk which will ultimately root the device.
I personally prefer the TWRP but there is no official release out there for this device. So, i ported a custom recovery for it in my spare time ( It may appear somewhat ridiculous but i had nothing more interesting to do so i changed the layout :silly
I have attached the recovery file below.
After you have downloaded the recovery as well as the SuperSU.zip, here are the steps to root it:-
Download the minimal adb fastboot for windows. You may google it, its available easily. (It turns out it may be the only tool that may work effectively in case your device is not getting recognized by any other adb.)
Rename the recovery as twrp and place it inside the Minimal adb and fastboot folder.
Connect the device via a USB cable and make sure adb debugging is on inside the developer options.
Now open the Minimal adb and fastboot tool and type the following commands inside the prompt:-
Code:
adb devices
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot devices
fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
fastboot reboot
Type the commands in the exact sequence. Your device will boot normally. Now, time to checkout the recovery. Type the following command inside the prompt.
Code:
adb reboot recovery
In a few seconds, you will have the custom twrp booted in front of you. Now, open the Mount tab inside the recovery and check the system option within it.
Head back to the recovery homescreen and open the Advanced tab which is followed by opening the File Manager tab.
Inside the file manager, follow the path to the pre-existing su binary file, i.e /system/xbin and delete it. Do the same with the su file present on /system/bin.
Now, head back to the recovery home ,open Install tab and select the SuperSU.zip wherever you placed it and swipe to confirm the installation.
Reboot system. (It will probably boot without the logo so don't worry if it does.)
Now Google the Kingroot.apk, download it and install it. Give it a run, it will probably fail.
So get rid of the other superuser app i.e, SuperSU app via the option present inside it, i.e "Cleanup to install other superuser app" or something like that.
After a few seconds, it will disappear from the device and probably the same might happen with the Kingroot app.
Reboot the device.
Re-install the Kingroot app and run it again.
Congrats! You just rooted your device. Go ahead and check the root via an app like Rootchecker.
Here is the custom recovery file: -
