iTeXMac is also a front end to teTeX. It does a beautiful job of typesetting and is quite straight forward. It is available here.

TeXShop is just the front end for writing LaTeX. To typeset your text, you need an installation of tex. This isn't a default (yet) with OS X. The good news is that it's easy to get an installation of tex for OS X. In fact, there's an active community of people working on improving this all the time: TeXShop is part of that.

You can find out how to get an installation of tex at

Complete installation instructions for both TeXShop and, more importantly for you, tex (a tetex installation, though that may not and need not mean much to you now) are there.

Hope this helps

I think that when you reread abhishekit's original post, you will find that he did indeed install tetex.
