Hi Stefan
I don't know much about the Mac's. However your USB-Serial adaptor should have come with an installation disk suitable for your computer and it appears to be operational if your computer can see it. There should be a "information" way on your computer to tell you what the com port number is.
Your Telescope should have a manufacture's cable to connect to an RS232 port. If this is connected to the telescope and computer via the USB-Serial adaptor the telescope configuration program should be able to find the telescope at the com port you have installed the adaptor in.
If you added your telescope with the right parameters I would expect you would have used the nexStar option in which case, pressing the start button should change from stopped to connected.
If this occurs the current telescope position should have a red cross hair indication over this location in stellarium. If this does not happen you are not connected to the telescope and further testing will be necessary to find out why. If it does show you can now select an object (visible in the telescopes range) in stellarium and press ctrl 1 and the telelescope should start to slew. ctrl 1 should be the first telescope.
