Ok, so Im still very new to LaTeX... But I ran it and everything came out the same, there was no bibliography at all. So I ran BibTeX and got this error

"This is BibTeX, Version 0.99c (Web2C 7.5.5)
The top-level auxiliary file: Thesis3.4.1.aux
I couldn't open style file aip.bst
---line 146 of file Thesis3.4.1.aux
 : \bibstyle{aip
 :              }
I'm skipping whatever remains of this command
I found no style file---while reading file Thesis3.4.1.aux
(There were 2 error messages)"

Am I missing some style file?  (I am using report class fyi)
Thanks,

This indicates it's not a LyX problem but something wrong with your LaTeX setup. I'm not sure what the "couldn't open style file aip.bst" is indicating. You said you installed it; are you sure? Try opening the Terminal and typing:

kpsewhich aip.bst

That should return a path to the file if LaTeX can find the file and nothing otherwise. If you do get a bath to that file, check to make sure you have read permissions on it. The other possibility I can think of is that the file is somehow corrupted.

When installing extra files for LaTeX, the standard place to put them on Mac is ~/Library/texmf/. So .bst files would generally be put in ~/ Library/texmf/bibtex/bst. Having done that, run "sudo texhash" (giving your password), and it *should* work.
