I am currently taking my first Linux course so I am very new to Linux. I created a bootable USB followed the instructions to use on my MacBook. When I tried to boot up the UBS drive I was stuck at the Ubuntu purple screen. I was patient and let it sit there for almost an hour and noting. Then I decided to create the bootable DVD and nothing...not even the purple Ubuntu screen. Both times I choose to try Ubuntu and not to install it. What am I missing?

With USB, try Unetbootin.
sudo apt-get install unetbootin
With DVD, follow this.
Check again you iso (may corrupted, etc).

1I added install instruction for unetbootin, that is important here but your second link does not even work! Please take the tour http://askubuntu.com/tour and read the help before posting http://askubuntu.com/help and make sure your links work. – Mark Kirby Feb 11 '16 at 08:28
