have you tried another PC? I've had times in the past where a comp just doesn't want to recognize my webOS device.

Does webOS Quick Install work on Mac?

I have Lion installed.
jar file for webOS Quick Install installs OK but the Novacom driver installation fails
My Mac can't see the Touchpad

Touchpad is not in USB mode.
I clicked cancel when it asked if I wanted USB mode.

Steps to install Preware on your new webOS tablet, the HP Touchpad is fairly simple. This is very similar to the method that is used for webOS phones.

1. Turn on Developer mode

- You turn on developer mode for the HP TouchPad the same way as a smartphone.

Go to Just Type and type "webos20090606" without quotes or "upupdowndownleftrightleftrightbastart" without quotes.
Any of these will prompt the search to pull of the Developer Mode. You turn it on and your device should be in developer mode. If it requests a password you may just press submit.

2. You use webOS Quick Install and select the feeds application, and select Preware. And Boom! Preware is installed. Simple and easy.

If you do not have webOS Quick Install you may get it at this link.
