I have followed the procedure described when trying to create a bootable USB for Ubuntu 13.04 on OS X, but I get a message that saying that the disk is not readable on this computer. Am I using the wrong .iso, or is the disk of the wrong format?

OS X does weird stuff. Try again using the dd method and write the image to /dev/disk1 (not a partition). Make sure you get your devices right. Also make sure (via Disk Manager) that the disk (and partitions) are not mounted. Finder trys to auto-mount and borks things.

Also Macs are very cranky about what USB media they will boot from. Make sure your using a USB device that you know the mac can boot in the first place. The resulting USB partition will not be readable inside OS X but refit should be able to see and use it.

The disk isn't readable by OSX, but you can manipulate it using hdiutil and dd in the instructions. There's just lots of places to go off the rails.
