1) identify the disk (not partition) of your SD card. e.g. disk4 (not disk4s1)

diskutil list

2) unmount SD Card

diskutil unmountDisk /dev/<disk# from diskutil>
e.g. diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk4

3) copy image onto SD Card

sudo dd bs=1m if=<your image file>.img of=/dev/<disk# from diskutil>
e.g. sudo dd bs=1m if=2012-12-16-wheezy-raspbian.img of=/dev/disk4

I had some issues with the write speed being unreasonably slow and found a suggestion that sped the process up considerably. Add "r" in front of the disk and specify the exact path of the formatted volume:

e.g. sudo dd if=~/Downloads/raspberry_pi/ubuntu-15.04-snappy-armhf-raspi2.img of=/dev/rdisk2s1 bs=32m

changing bs=1 to bs=32 really had no affect on write speed.

3b) to check status of copy

CRTL+T

4) eject SD Card

sudo diskutil eject <disk# from diskutil>
e.g. sudo diskutil eject /dev/rdisk3

Ubuntu

1) identify the disk (not partition) of your SD card. e.g. /dev/sdb

sudo fdisk -l

Look for the Disk which has the correct volume size

i.e.
Disk /dev/sdb 15.9 GB

Next look for the Device Boot path listed further down

Device Boot
/dev/sdb1

2) unmount SD Card

sudo umount /dev/sdb

3) copy image onto SD Card

sudo dd bs=4M if=<your image file>.img of=/dev/sdb from fdisk>
e.g. sudo dd bs=4M if=2015-02-16-raspbian-wheezy.img of=/dev/sdb

4) eject SD Card

sudo eject /dev/sdb
