 Hello,

 I am running LyX 1.6.2 on a Mac (Intel) and using the script (pipe) of Mark
 Reid http://www.threewordslong.com/projects/misc/bibdesktolyx/. Although,
 when I go to: LyX,  insert  citation , there is no citations available. I
 understand that I can do this from (BibDesk  right click on article  Send
 to LyX, but running everything on LyX would be a lot easier. Am I supposed
 to load the list of references in some way on LyX?

Yes, in lyx go Insert  List/Toc  BibTex bibliography. And put it
where you want your bibliography to appear.

It all depends what kind of writing you do. The styles that ship with 
the standard LaTeX distribution tend to be weighted heavily to the maths 
and the physical sciences, so you might want to go to your local CTAN 
mirror and check out other styles (MLA, Chicago, Harvard etc.) although 
some of these can be achieved through other styles (e.g. I use jurabib 
to emulate Chicago).

I assume Bibdesk is a kind of BibTeX-editor. Create a bib-file in the 
application and then read the documentation about references in the LyX 
manual. Here you'll find a description on importing your bib-file and insert 
references.

 Also,
 are there alternate programs that can be used to insert references in
 a thesis.

Yes. Use Pybliographer:

http://pybliographer.org/

Besides being an easy to use application it also have some specific features 
for LyX.

I belive pybliographer needs to be compiled on OS X.. bibdesk seems 
fine in terms of functionality.. jabref works out of the box on OS X 
and also has the push to LyX feature (I don't know how useful this 
feature is since adding citations from within LyX is just as easy). 
Hope this helps.
