Easiest way to root a Samsung is with a PC using Obin and TWRP and Chainfire AutoRoot. If you use boot camp for that Mac you should be able use Obin to root.

Thanks for the time to reply to this post which I know has been posted several times by other mac users in a different format of asking. By the way which Windows version would be best to use for compatibility of all android phones ability to root upon? Windows xp or 7?

+1 for windows you still have to download and install the fastboot drivers.

Is it possible to root the Nexus without a computer?
There was a way to install adb and fastboot an Android tablet or another phone a while back. Although I am not sure if it is still possible (the sdk updated, and I am not sure if they updated). Edit for clarification: Which if it is, you could use a tablet and an OTG cable to achieve root. Which technically would mean you don't need a PC.
Though, to actually answer your question, no you need a computer.

I can't I have some issue where it won't work on anything but charging. I don't know what the problem is, I think it's the battery.

Solve that problem then. Try different cables, different USB ports (if on desktop try one on the back of the PC). Try uninstalling and reinstalling drivers. Try another PC.
If all of that fails, it may be a hardware issue with the phone.
You can use superboot. And chainfire's supersu is flashable in cwm isn't it?

Yes, but how would you get a custom recovery on the device that isn't rooted, without using a computer?
Doesn't ROM manager do that? It did on my cappy! Booya Biaatch! No but I hope it works for you. No seriously. I do.

Hi guys, I just got a nexus 7 2013 (Wifi only) and it came with android 4.3. I have decided not to update to Kitkat and install a custom rom instead. I read a lot of threads and they ask me to use SDK and reboot in fastboot. I have never done that and I am scared!! Is there anyway to do all this in ONE-CLICK method just like I did with my atrix HD?? I dont want to break my tablet please let me know Thanks

There are toolkits that you can use BUT you should also always know the manual way in case anything happens. Just follow the guides and YouTube videos. If you think you don't understand how to, read again till you do.

I used towelroot then installed supersu from play store and updated binaries, took me less than 3 minutes?

Don't have to click at all if you learn the proper way and use adb and fastboot commands And you also have the most reliable and safest tools available straight from Google. I don't know about you, but I'd rather trust tools from Google than some random program(s) messing with important boot-related aspects of my Nexus device.
Learn early, and thank yourself later for it

The trick I've used is the same I used to root my stock locked Xperia Z running Android 4.4.2 and that is this:
Visit http://www.towelroot.com/ and download/install the apk from that site.
Next, install a SuperUser app of your choice....I prefer SuperSu Pro for its survival mode.
Reboot and voila. Locked bootloader, stock recovery, and rooted
I've successfully used it to root both my Nexus 7 16Gb WiFi and my Nexus 7 (2013) 32Gb WiFi, and also my Xperia Z and my girlfriend's Xperia SP.
All devices are locked bootloaders, and stock recovery which means OTA's still work perfectly.
