When I typed 'svnadmin create /ver/svn/newrepos' I got the following

svnadmin: Could not create top-level directory

This isn't a subversion issue. The /var/svn directory probably doesn't exist or you don't have write access there at your operating system level.

svnadmin: Can't create directory '/var/svn/newrepos': No such file or

If someone would simple pretend that I am a 2-year old and tell me how
to add files to the repository, I would be eternally grateful (or at
least for a long time).

Start by creating the repository somewhere that you have write permission. Macs go very far out of their way to keep you from learning simple things like that, but it's not impossible. If you want to follow your book literally, you might, as the system administrator, create the /var/svn directory, and give ownership to yourself.
