Ok, it should work. Let’s see how to find the problem with your setup.
First, it’s not needed to make some selection in LyX to get forward-search
working.
After doing the pdflatex run (you’re using pdflatex too, are you?) you can
check the LaTeX log file and there is a button „Open Containing Directory“.
Please open it and check the generated TeX file for the line with "\synctex=-1“
and a file named like your document plus .synctex.gz
I made the experiment and it looks like that:
$ ls -l
/private/var/folders/y8/l_k5f2ms4rngwbwvt9jp53hw0000gt/T/lyx_tmpdir.TRMAcnQibDFe/lyx_tmpbuf2
total 72

The difference between synctex active and not ist that line only:
$ diff -u *synctex.tex

This line has to be present to get forward-search (and backward-search) working.
