May 11, 2016 So, I have an iso file I need to burn to a usb drive for use with a windows computer. It's a bootible iso image that can be burned to a usb stick. I need to burn it to a usb drive for use with a windows computer. I've looked all over the internet for software that can be used to burn an iso image to a usb drive on a mac, but haven't been. Apple removed the ability to burn disc images from Disk Utility from MacOS High Sierra, Sierra, OS X 10.11 El Capitan, and newer, and while that makes sense for many Macs that no longer have SuperDrives, CDRW, and DVD burners, for those who use an external burner, use disc drive sharing, or who do have hardware with a built-in SuperDrive, may find it frustrating to lose such a feature. Part 2: Easily Burn ISO to USB on Mac via UUByte Software (Bootable USB Creator) Sofware being powered by a graphics user interface are always welcomed because of user friendly operation. So the second suggestion in here is UUByte ISO burner software called ISO Editor for Mac. It is popularly regarded as the best ISO burning software for Mac.

what's the best way to get an ISO 'burned' to a USB stick on a Mac? Restoring using Disk Utility does not work.
The ISO is ubuntu mini.iso. It is the minimalist install ISO for installing ubuntu. It needs to be bootable on a PC. I am trying to install ubuntu on a PC that has no CD-ROM. The only other computer I have around is a macbook.

Directly from the How to install Ubuntu on MacBook using USB Stick page(my formatting):
Note: On newer Macs you might have to install an EFI boot manager to boot from USB.

I had a very similar problem that none of these answered.
It's worth checking out UNetbootin. It will create a bootable USB disk on a Mac for a PC.

There is no need to convert the ISO to an IMG. I wasn't willing to convert an image first. This has easier steps, outlined below.
Start by listing the current disks and volumes:
Now unmount the current volume for the disk you are about to overwrite. (X = Drive number, in my case was 1):
Now dd the iso directly to the usb (again replace X with drive number of your USB drive):
Done!

This is a very old question but still benefits from updated answers.
Etcher is now the solution recommended by Ubuntu to burn iso images to a USB drive.
Etcher makes the process almost painless if you are not comfortable with the command line. It's only 3 steps and worked on the first try for me.

The way to do this using DiskUtility is to first format the drive using Diskutility and then copy over the files from the mounted iso to the newly formated drive using cp -R. Ex: cp -R /Volumes/mounted_iso/* /Volumes/formated_drive/
When formatting be sure to pick the ntfs file system and make the disk bootable by picking the correct option from the Options menu in the erase tab.

Unetbootin is a tool that installs ISOs on USB keys, or you can use dropdown menus to select distributions right there in the tool.
Slightly easier than doing Simon Sheehan
dd on the command line yourself.

I've user SuperDuper for this task before. It does the job and not much else. Like a good program should :-) The full version is not free ($30) but you get what you need for free:
You can download SuperDuper! v2.6.2 right now and back up and clone your drives for free— forever!
