<p>Program runs but doesn't seem to be able to synchronize with network.  Is there more to installing program than just dragging into applications folder?</p>

<p>I'm also confused about why I don't have a Bitcoin folder in Application Support folder of Library folder...  (If invisible, how do I make it visible?)</p>

Bitcoin-QT isnt much a Mac friendly. Despite the fact is for Mac users. I strongly recommend you use Electrum. Which is recommended also by bitcoin.org

A few more details please.  The current Bitcoin-Qt (v0.7.0) works with that version.  What version are you running?    Does the client show connections?  Is the block count stuck, or just loading sloooowwwly?   Are you on an encrypted filesystem?
