Silly question I know, but I'm new to the Mac and I am trying to

It depends on how you installed TeX. If you used MacTeX, it can be
found at:
/usr/local/texlive/2007/texmf-dist/doc/latex/beamer/doc/
beameruserguide.pdf
Also how do I install extra classes. This all seemed failry obvious
with MikTex on Windows but struggling to find my way around the Mac.
The standard location is ~/Library/texmf/tex/latex. (Note that LyX
won't recognize extra classes unless you have an appropriate .layout
file.)
Note that the beamer package contained in TeXLive 2007 is rather old.
Unfortunately there seems not to be a simple package update option,
like in MikTeX. I download the newest versions of beamer/pgf and
install them manually. It is not a big thing, though, you just have to
use the shell to copy some files.
