Are you confused how to configure its USB debugging mode while you want to connect your device to PC or laptop? Here's how!
In Android 4.2 you cannot cannot find the Developer options to Enable USB Debugging mode in the settings menu. Google intended to hide this options and I don't know why the heck they do this, this means that you cannot Enable USB debugging to communicate with your device when you connect it to your computer, printers etc. This happens if you owned one of Google's Nexus series of Android devices like Nexus 10, Nexus 7 Tablet, Nexus 4 and Galaxy Nexus that already runs or updated with Android 4.2 Jelly Bean software. This isn't funny particularly from those who loves to tweaks their devices from rooting, installing custom recoveries and customized ROMS.
The developers options is not absolutely taken away but its only intentionally hidden by Google. To show the Developers options screen, just simply do the following:
Goto Settings> About tablet and tap on the 'Build Number' text 7 times, just slowly and not too fast.
For about tapping 3 times, you will then prompted a countdown of taps until it will show or allow you as "Developer". When you become as a developer as told, go back from "Settings" menu
Once on the Settings screen you will then find the "Developers options" from there you may then"Enable USB debugging Mode"
Already proven works on all Google Nexus Android devices with software builds Adnroid 4.2 Jelly Bean:

Nexus 7 (GSM/HSPA+) - 4.2 (JOP40C) "nakasig"
Galaxy Nexus (GSM/HSPA+) with Google Wallet - 4.2 (JOP40C) "takju", "maguro"
Might also works on these devices when upgraded to Android 4.2 Jelly Bean

Nexus S (worldwide version, i9020t and i9023)
Nexus S (850MHz version, i9020a)
Nexus S (Korea version, m200)
