emf is a Windows graphics format for which imagemagik can not convert. You have two options: 1) use e.g. Irfanview (http://www.irfanview.com) in wine / PlayOnMac (https://www.playonmac.com/) to convert the images to a different format. Irfan view works very nicely on a mac. 2) if you find a commandline tool for Mac (I didn't find one - please keep us posted if you find one) and define your own copier in LyX to convert the emf files.
