In order to make an Ubuntu live USB for installing Ubuntu, use UNetbootin. The flash drive you use should be 2GB or larger plus whatever additional space on the USB drive you want to use for persistent file storage, and formatted to FAT32. For Ubuntu 18.04 and later the USB flash drive should be 4GB or larger. The formatting procedure will delete all of the files that are already on the flash drive.
In UNetbootin click the Diskimage radio button and then click the ... button.
Select the Ubuntu ISO file you downloaded and click the Open button.
It is very important to verify that the device that you are installing the Ubuntu live USB to is indeed your flash drive, so that you don't overwrite any of your system or personal files which may make your operating system unbootable. In OS X you can find the device name of the USB flash drive using Disk Utility.
In the first screenshot the name of the USB drive is /dev/disk0s4
The Ubuntu live USB flash drive that you make this way will be bootable from PC computers. In order to enable your computer to boot from the USB flash drive, you must enter your BIOS/UEFI setup utility by pressing one of these keys: Delete, F2 or F10 as soon as the motherboard splash screen appears when the computer is booting. In the BIOS/UEFI menu, you need to change the boot order so that the USB flash drive, which is usually called USB-HDD in newer computers, is the first entry in the boot sequence, and then save your new settings and exit the setup utility.

I don't know if the BIOS section here will work. Download rEFIt from refit.sourceforge.net to get a screen where you can choose from the available medium to boot off of. Usually on a mac the default is holding down option but I have had crappy success getting it to find a partition other than a mac one...

The question is about booting Ubuntu on a Windows PC. For information about how to boot Ubuntu on a Mac see this answer. To select the bootable USB in a Mac, reboot and immediately after the startup chime, press the Option key. If the bootable USB doesn't show up in the Mac when you reboot it you can install rEFIt.
