Hmmm, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I can't really help you out.
I use my iDevices by having TouchOSC run through PureData to turn it into MIDI data. I'm afraid I don't know how to use Osculator, nor do I know how to use Ableton.
I'd just look at this video and make sure you're doing everything similarly. Perhaps there's a small detail that you've missed.

Not sure if you've figured it out yet, but from what I understand touch OSC sends OSC data, which Ableton doesn't understand. You'll need something that converts the OSC data into MIDI data. I remember seeing a program that does this when I was looking at controlling traktor with an iPad, but I can't remember what it's called.
