I've tried this: http://momo.brauchtman.net/2011/11/12/howto-install-jenkins-on-os-x-and-make-it-build-mac-stuff/ but unfortunetly didn't work.

Answer 1

1. Make sure there are no other instances of Jenkins or Tomcat running (sudo ps -ef | grep jenkins or sudo ps -ef | grep java)

2. sudo netstat -a | grep LISTEN to see what processes are listening to ports

3. Use a different port java -jar jenkins.jar --httpPort <ANUMBERHERE>

Answer 2

You probably have another software listening to port 8080. Try closing the other app or change 8080 with another port in Jenkins configuration.
