Convert ISO to .img using hdiutil under Mac OS (via Installation/FromUSBStick for Ubuntu)
These instructions to install Ubuntu on a USB stick include the following on how to convert ISO to .img on a Mac:
“Convert the .iso file to .img using the convert option of hdiutil (e.g., hdiutil convert -format UDRW -o ~/path/to/target.img ~/path/to/kubuntu.iso) Note: OS X tends to put the .dmg ending on the output file automatically.”

When inputting this into terminal comes up with convert failed: no such file or directory, tried various combinations still does not work. does the ‘path to target’ need to be different to ‘path to kubuntu’?

Yes, those should be different paths. I hope it goes without saying that the path to the ISO should exist, the path to the output IMG should not.
