But then no MAP file tells TeX that the font name MinionPro-It-Base-ad is related to a scalable font and therefore no bitmap font files with different resolutions need to be generated. This "translation" from the TeX font name to the corresponding vector font file and its encoding is done via the MAP file. And therefore it's quite certain that the MinionPro.map file (fragment) has not yet been enabled.

Particularly the installation root /Library/TeX/Root/texmf is wrong. Packages from outside TeX Live belong into the /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local branch. Although it's confusing that the Minion Pro TFM support files /are/ part of TL 2012.

Howdy,

As an alternative to enabling the the map (you do have to make sure any MinionPro.map information is cleaned up before using this method as noted above) create a file that contains the line

MixedMap MinionPro.map

WITH A BLANK LINE AFTER THAT LINE and save it as updmap.cfg in /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/web2c. From then on you need only run

sudo -H mktexlsr
sudo -H updmap-sys

once and the font will be installed. This is great if you update to TeX Live 2013 whenever it comes out, etc.

Good Luck,
