Im not new to computers. Ive worked at IBM for several years. I am trying to help a friend convert an ISO file to an IMG so he can install bootcamp on his (Mid) 2010 macbook pro. I have had Absolutely NO luck with any forms or Q&A. I have used The terminal and disk utility. I have done this before using a 16GB flash drive. But there is no option to do so on his computer. I have searched this website and a large number of other websites back and front for litterally hours. EVERY LAST Q&A HAS DONE NOTHING. If someone can help that would be nice. Does mac really suck this bad? Our next step is to strap fireworks to the effing POS and use it for target practice.

I would refer to this post.
The structure of ISO files and IMG files are the same... so all you would need to do is change the extension.
rename 's/\.iso(?=[^.iso]*$)/.img/g' *
Now, to create an img, you should use dd and save it into a file called img.
Read the post for more information.
