For me unetbootin didn't recognize my usb device, but it worked by selecting it through the command line:

/Applications/unetbootin.app/Contents/MacOS/unetbootin installtype=USB targetdrive=/dev/disk2s1

Replace /dev/disk2s1 with yours, you can find it out by diskutil list:

/dev/disk2 (external, physical):
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:     FDisk_partition_scheme                        *31.5 GB    disk2
   1:               Windows_NTFS WIN                     31.5 GB    disk2s1
