Boot from USB on a Macbook

I tried to make my USB drive for Ubuntu using unetbootin but after it finished loading the os on usb drive, i get this message: "The created USB device will not boot off a Mac. Insert it into a PC, and select the USB boot option in the BIOS boot menu." Anybody has any idea?

  • This is not a duplicate of the other question. It's specific to the message "The created USB device will not boot off a Mac" on the unetbootin tool. The answer is, ignore this message, and boot with the option key pressed - it works fine. – n13 Jul 21 '17 at 03:20

Mac OS requires that you have an OSX install on the USB media in order to boot from it. I don't particularly care for this practice, but it is true. See the previous post on the matter here.
