In Terminal (Mac) when I do step 9 (sudo dd if=//Users/neilatkin/Desktop/ubuntu.img of=/dev/disk1 bs=1m (replace /path/to/downloaded.img with the path where the image file is located; for example, ./ubuntu.img or ./ubuntu.dmg)), when I press enter then enter the password to the mac it just has white underneath it and after it does nothing when I enter in commands. To get it to work again I have to close it and re-open it. I'm pretty sure that I'm using the correct file from my desktop too.

dd
outputs nothing and takes a while to run. Give it ten minutes and see if it finishes.

When I unmount it and then do the command it just goes back to what it did before; just giving me nothing– LouisNov 2, 2012 at 16:22

1Did you wait a full ten minutes? The dd command does not give any output– astexNov 2, 2012 at 18:10
