This sure sounds like you don't have ImageMagick installed properly (or
properly recognized by LyX).

Try first reconfiguring LyX (LyX > Reconfigure) and then restarting. Does
that solve it? If not, try moving aside your preferences file (in
~/Library/Application Support/LyX-1.5) or even the whole LyX-1.5 directory.
Does that solve it?
