Go to:
/Users/$yourusername/Library/Application Support/Steam/
and locate registry.vdf

Open registry.vdf with a text editor (e.g. Notepad) and find:
Registry / HKCU / Software / Valve / Steam /

Under Steam, find the line:
"Offline"    "1"

Change it to:
"Offline"    "0"

Save the file and try installing the game again.

A note for Mac users
In case the Library folder is hidden, you can go to the "GO" menu, select 'Go To Folder' and enter: ~/Library
You should now be able to see the Steam folder, and the registry.vdf file inside that.
