I intentionally don't want to attempt to support Macs using EFI.  There
are too many problems, and for the time being it's generally still
better to use BIOS.

Title:
  usb-creator doesn't create EFI-bootable USB sticks

Status in “usb-creator” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: usb-creator

  USB startup disk creator seems to create USB disks which can boot on
  traditional BIOS based PC's but not EFI based computers such as Apple
  Mac laptops, Jogglers, Google CR-48. This reduces the number of people
  who can test Ubuntu on machines that could significantly benefit from
  the testing.
