You will need to install teensyduino, an add-on to the arduino software.
you can get it here http://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_download.html

Try selecting one the items that ends in ".app"

I think the Teensy extension wants to incorporate itself into the Arduino IDE, and is waiting for you to choose a location it recognizes before enabling the 'Next' button. On a Mac, that would be an .app folder.

The third image you posted says the files were installed correctly. Have you tried loading a program onto the Teensy?

1: Run Arduino (the copy which was modified by the Teensyduino installer).

2: Choose your Teensy model from the Tools > Boards menu.

3: Open an example program. File > Examples > 01.Basics > Blink

4: Click the "Upload" button (in the newly-opened window, the one with the blink example you just opened). It's the 2nd button on the toolbar, the round one with an arrow pointing to the right.

5: If a message appears in the bottom of the Arduino window after about 5-10 seconds saying you need to press the button, then physically press the pushbutton on your Teensy. Do not press the button until that message appears.

6: Try changing the delay times in the example program and repeat the upload. You'll see the LED blinks at different speed, cause by your change to the delay.
