macmactextexmaker
I installed Texmaker for mac and download MacTeX and installed this .zip:
I couldn't find the files in /usr/ or /bin/.
What are the preferences I should enter in these cells? Please give me the full paths

The link you have, while saying MacTeX 2011, is actually pointing to the download for a part of MacTeX 2012 which works only with a DVD containing 'vanilla' TeX Live. This should get fixed on the website: I will report it. However, what you want is the latest MacTeX. That's always available from the link http://www.tug.org/mactex/ (note: no year), and on that page you want http://mirror.ctan.org/systems/mac/mactex/MacTeX.pkg, which is the full Mac installer, about 2 Gb.
To set up biber in Texmaker, do the following. Click on User, User Commands, Edit User Commands. You can define five custom commands there. Pick one that is unused (if any) and fill it as shown below.
Click Ok.
The new command will then be featured in the list of available commands.
I had exactly the same problem and suggest you locate the files yourself.
My files, for example, are located in Library/TeX/Root/bin/x86_64-darwin/
and I therefore replaced usr/texbin/ with Library/TeX/Root/bin/x86_64-darwin/ everywhere instead of library/TeX/texbin/.
